According to the census of 1900 the
chicken population of the United States
was two hundred and thirty millions,
while turkeys numbered six and one
half millions, geese five and one-half
millions and ducks nearly five mil
lions. IT is estimated that three hun
dred million chickens and other forms
of poultry are consumed in this country
each year, an average OF less than four
per capita. Chickens are generally
first choice and the first to run out on
the menu of the hotel and restaurant.
The market for first-class poultry and
eggs has never as yet been overdone.
There is no more staple and popular
article of food. and it is safe to expect
the demand to develop in proportion
and to the care and intelligence with
which the markets are supplied No
stock on the farm brings better rela-
tive returns for expenditures than
poultry. and there is no better place for
the industry than in the Southern
States.

Kentucky to Have a Breeding
Bureau.

Bureau.
If the plans of a number of progress
sive breeders of thoroughbreds of the
Blue Grass are carried out Kentucky
will have breeding bureau that will
be more extensive than anything of the
kind ever instituted or suggested.
The plan is for the breeders to pur-
chase handsome thoroughbred stations
which cannot be trained and give them
to the breeding bureau. The bureau
will then dispose of these stations by
giving them away to farmers of Ken
lucky who live some distance from the
Blue Grass sections.
1t has been suggested that the State
Racing Commission decide where the
stations be sent. In carrying out the
plans it was further suggested that all
applications for the stations be made
out to the racing commission and then
the racing commission is to give the
stations to the section of the State that
most needs them. 1t is not the purpose
of the breeders to place their superan-
nuated stations at the disposal of the
bureau, but the best young stations
they can buy which will be adapted to
the purpose for which they are desired.

The Divorce Congress.

The National Congress on uniform
divorce laws, in session at Philadel-
phia, has adopted about one-third of
the proposed uniform bill. The portions
adopted include six causes for absolute
divorce -infidelity, felony, desertion,
habitual drunkenness and intolerable
cruelty-an and in the discussions of the
various sections there was little opposi-
ton to any of these provisions, but in
the list of causes for annulment of
marriage, opposition was presented
against separation.
