ty of Mr. P. II. Mccormick, near Bel Air,
has recently taken off balance sheet
showing the profit on raising fancy
chickens. His original outlay amounted
to $SO.37. From January, 1902 to Jam
uarv, 1908, he received for the eggs sold,
$50 so; chickens sold, $17o 81; premiums
at Hagerstown and Hartford fairs, 500;
chickens sold at Hagerstown, $40. This
makes total of $263 81, and deductirg
the cost from the above amount it leaves
a net profit of S1S3.47. Each ofthc hens
averaged 207 eggs during the year. This
shows that there is money in poultry if
it is only managed in the proper manner.

On Wednesday Mr.. S. Norris, General
Manager of the Maryland and Pennsylva-
mia Railroad, was in Bel Air looking for a
suitable site for the Maryland Militia
Brigade Encampment, which will be held
some time in July. A number of places
are making keen competition to obtain
this desirable acquisition, as it means the
expenditure of considerable money both
bv the State and what will come from the
individual purses of the soldiers. The
last application has been made by Ocean
City Maryland, which affords many ma
tural inducements. The citizens of this
county, and especially the business men
OF Bel Air, will have to bestir themselves
if they wish to secure the coveted prizc.
1t is not only an advertisement for the
place, but in many ways will rebound to
our permanent advantage. The Railroad
Company is willing to share areasonabie
portion of the expense, but if we expect
the encampment to be brought here the
citizens will have to help.
