"SMALL CHANGE"
TACKLED A CAT.

Small Change" was with his mis-
tress and she was with a party of
friends and they were all in the ice
cream parlor on Bull street. A pretty
little puss with blue ribbon around
her neck was also there. But pussy
had a perfect right in the establish
ment and no fox terrier had any right
to interfere.
But Small Change" didn't grasp the
situation and started for puss. The lit
tie blue-ribboned feline arched her
back and began saying things between
her teeth. Small Change" Floradora-
ed all around her and it looked as if
the gong was going to sound for the
first round. But it didn't. The fair
owner of Small Change" and one of
the girls who serves the Broadway
punches saw what was happening just
as soon as the score of customers
braced up to see the fun.
1t seemed like a pity to throw up the
sponge before the first blow was pass
ed, and with such an appreciative au-
dience. too. But Small Change" was
seized by his owner and held fast UNI
til polite young man and the Broad
way punch girl could straighten out
the arch on puss' back and stuff her
under the cash register. Puss was kept
under the money drawer until Small
Change" had gotten we'll up Bull street.
And there were those present who were
rude enough to smoker at the dscom-
future of the Broadway punch girl, and
puss, and Small Change"-and the
others.

PROFITS IN CHICKENS.
Mr.. LOring Brown Says the South Is
the Best Field for Chic<en-Rais

Mr.. LOring Brown Says the south Is
the Best Field for ChicI1en-Raising.
at seems strange" said Mr.. Loriug
Brown, who attended the fair with
the Belmont Farm poultry exhibit,
that more attention is not paid to
poultry raising in the South, the best
field in the country. 1t CAN be ac-
counted for only on the grounds that
the extent of the business and the
profits in it are not appreciated.
Il have only recently received a
copy of Secretary Wilson's report on
the different kinds of business carried
on in the United States and the amount
of money represented by each. This
report put the cattle business ahead
of all unless it be the cotton and naval
tstores business. The total amount
of business in cattle done last year
was 1914, 900 900. The poultry business
stands second with a total of 1923, OO0-
900. The wide scale on which the
business is being carried on is here
illustrated.
THE expense of keeping and raising
chickens is not high, care and study
being Sthe principal things necessary
for raising fancy chickens. The
chickens raised for home use only need
very little care, comparatively speak
ing. They will eat almost everything
and are no expense in this line.
have seen enough thrown away by
cooks to keep several dozen chickens.
Georgia and the South is the best
part of the country for carrying on
this business. The climate is almost
ideal and the absence of the real cold
winters of the North do not require
such need of heating apparatus to
protect the birds. I hope that the in
dustry will be more generally taken
UP throughout the country"
