How Much Hous. Room for Poultry /?

How Much House Room for Poultry?
Most farmers are inclined to over
crowd their poultry houses. They
want to be economical and try to save
money by building small poultry
houses, or if they do start out with
one of sufficient size they yield to the
temptation to crowd more in it the
second year than the first The farm
er reasons, that since he kept fifty
fowls last year and made profit of $25
this year he will keep one hundred
fowls and make $50 profit. That is all
right if the house and yard room are
increased in proportion at least equal
to the increase in the number Of fowls,
but otherwise 1t is all wrong and will
bring certain disappointment. Crowd
ed fowls need closer care and attention
in every way than those that have
plenty Of roam; the srowded house

Manager Of Philippine Telephone
Company Says Corporation
on Good Paying Basis

Peter J. Lynch. general manager of
the Philippine Islands TELEPHONE and
telegraph company. who arrived here
yesterday on the liner Asia. declares
that the girls who man" the switch
boards of the Manila telephone service
are the nearest to perfect 'Centrals'
in all the world. and probably the most
accomplished.
In addition to having a knowledge
of the switchboard and. all its eccen-
-tricities, the rules of the service and q
large stock of patience. the girl opera
tor in Manila must understand and be
able TO speak English, Spanish Taga-
log and Niscayan, to say nothing of
the Chino and Cochero Variations of
a1l four. In addition to this linguistic
knowledge the young woman 90 whom
in Manila is intrusted the privilege of
tell the public Lines busy. call
again must understand the roundabout
methods of the native subscriber who
calls FOR a number without having a
clear idea under which of half a dozen
family names his friend is registered.
According to Lynch. Manila has a
first class telephone service which is
on a coed paying basis. For the pres
ent the long distance service is limited
owing to the expense of maintaining
submarine cables that would have to
rest on the Jagged edges of coral reefs.
