REToRT COURTEOUS
Says Burton Might Be Supposed to
Have Suffered Disappointment.

CINCINNATI. December Ex-senator
Foraker yesterday answered the state
ment issued Monday by Representative
Burton of Cleveland which accuses the
senator OF insincerity and desire to en-
barrass Secretary Taft. Senator For
aker's answer was brief. He says:
IF one did not know it he would think
from what Mr.. Burton says that he had
suffered some great disappointment
Mr. Foraker admitted that his answer
might be translated to mean that Mr..
Burton was sore over his recent defeat
for mayor of Cleveland by Tom Johnson.
Mr.. Foraker had a steady stream of
callers yesterday, and when he was not
meeting visitors he was answering long
distance telephone calls. Scenes at the
senator's law Offices certainly indicated
anything but a waning of interest in the
senator and his affairs. He said that he
was about worn out with the day.

The farmer In the eastern part OF
this continent Is decidedly handicapped
by the soil and the high price Of hay
when he attempts to compete with the
west in the production OF most animal
products. but he more than holds his
own In tho poultry field, as little or
no bulky food Is needed for fowls and
the very high local prices for poultry
and eggs return him handsome profit.
Poultry Plants.
A recent careful examination Of a
number OF commercial and farm poul-
try plants throughout Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island shows an average
return Of nearly $3.50 for each dollar
invested in feed for laying hens. with
a little help occasionally Ducklings
produced at a food cost of 4 to s cents
per pound sell for IA TO 40 cents per
pound on the New York market. and
we sometimes see a small consignment
Of crate fattened chickens, truly de-
liclous roast Most Of these specially
fattened chickens come from the mid

are extensively engaged in their pro-
duetion, but many OF our local poul
