In locating a poultry plant 1t Is a
great advantage to have the houses III
face the south or southeast. House

plan Is good if the houses all face the
south. The run may extend from
the north side If desired. An old or
chard is an ideal place for locating a
poultry plant, and is especially valu-

other excellent plan Is to have houses
in the middle Of the runs, making them

Feature of the 81. Louis Fair.

State and territorial participation
In the Worlds Fair Of 1904 is upon a
scale that exceeds the most sanguine
expectations. There are fifty-fve
states, territories and island possess
sions of the United States Fifty
three of these are represented, a move
ment is on foot in the fifty-fourth TO
raise fund for participation, and
there are prospects that the flfty-flfth
will not permit itself to 30 down into
history as the sole state unrepresented
at the greatest exposition ever held.
Forty-hve of these states and ter
ritories have appropriated money for
buildings or groups Of buildings on
the exposition grounds. The majority
Of the buildings already are completed
or well under way. Many OF them are
magnificent mansions.
The two states not yet officially rep
resented are New Hampshire and Del
aware. In New Hampshire fund is
being raised by private subscription In
order that the Old Home State ma7
participate. The eight states and pos
sessions not represented by separate
buildings, but providing generous
displays, are Alabama. Colorado,
North Carolina, North Dakota, Wyo-
ming, Vermont, Florida and Porto
Rico.
At the Columbian Exposition In
Chicago there were thirty-nine state
and territorial buildings-six less than
at st. Louis States and possessions
participating at St. Louis and absen;
from Chicago are Alaska, Georgia, Ha-
wall, Indian Territory, Philippine Is
lands. Porto Rico. South Carolina and
Tennessee.
The aggregate amount appropriated
thus far for state and territorial par
ticipation at ST. Louis is ,76a,0S6
The total expenditure at Chicago fol
such purposes was 25.414.031. The diff
ference in favor Of St Louis, toul
months before the exposition opens
is $1,35O,955.

Mrs. Smith and Mrs. cass Entertain.

On Tuesday evening a large party
was given at the residence of Guy L.
Smith by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. J. W.
Cass. The beautiful evening dresses
Of the ladies were we'll set off by the
somber coats of the gentlemen. A
number of small tables had a stick |
standing up in the center filled with
rings. -Four guests were seated at each |
table and were told to throw the rings
and try to get as many as possible on
the pole. Too rounds OF Is rings each
were allowed, unless the bell rang be-
fore, Each person was presented with
pink ring and the partners winning
= the most points were given a small
pink or white ring to fasten to that
thus keeping the score. The winners
then passed to another table and
changed partners. There were vari-
Gus methods tried; some almost laying
them over the stick, and others sitting
back and pitching occasioning much
good natured raillery. When the
score was counted Mrs. Peter Ponder,
of Morristown, the honoree Of the
evening, had the largest score of the
ladies, and Mr.. P. M. Ward Of the
gentlemen. Then each lady was given
piece of paper and told to write
recipe for the best way of managing q
husband. A committee of three gen.
tlemen, Messrs. Ellsworth, Ward and
Williams were the judges, and after
long and due deliberation awarded
the first prize to Mrs. s. g. Williams,
whose husband ought to be the best
managed man in johnson City. The
recipes were read aloud, many of them
insisting on feeding him we'll, which
the hostess proceeded to do. The sup
per was elaborate, consisting OF peanut
and bread and butter sandwiches,
pickles, escolloped oysters, cheese
straws, celery, salad, coffee and pink
and white mints. The prizes when dis
tributed were large punches of pink
and white carnations, thus carrying
out very prettily and fragrantly the
color scheme of the evening. During
these things q string band from an I'M
seen corner discoursed lively music.
There is no need in johnson City for
anyone to comment on the hostess of
the evening, as they are too we'll
known as entertainers to need praise,
and as to costumes, The COMET would
