THE POULTRY QUESTION.
Why Chicken Raising Pays and How
to Make It Pay.

A little talk about the poultry busi-
ness
Some men and women seem to pos
sess an Unborn love for domesticated
animals. Some farmers delight to have
about them not only the ordinary live
stock of the farm, but also pets of vari-
GUS kinds. Such men are usually kind
hearted, good natured and of generous
disposition, o.. s..,-.... ,...
Some men take great pleasure in the
ownership and control of one or more
pets, such as cats, dogs, Canary birds,
rabbits, chickens and pigeons. A man
having a genuine fondness for dumb
creatures will, if he makes an earnest
study of their characteristics and habits,
usually grow up to become good live
stock breeder.
Poultry culture is peculiar in that it
attacks people of almost all callings and
conditions of life. Men and women,
boys and girls, wealthy and poor, robust
and weak; from professional, manufac-
turing, commercial and agricultural life;
in city, village and country, in large and
increasing numbers are drawn toward
the beautiful and useful domestic fowls.
Even when the money-making capacity
is the chief attraction, poultry keeping
is the chosen calling of many people.
Some of the reasons for the evident in
crease of poultry keeping as an occupa-
ton are the following:
First-Only small amount of capital
is necessary, if the poultry keeper is sat
isfied to begin with few fowls, and SO
develope the business gradually.
Second. investment of funds, il
properly made, yields promptly reas.
enable return.
Third.-For starting in the business a
small area of land is sufficient, and a
location may be selected where the land
is not high in price.
Fourth.-Dressed fowls and eggs are
favorite foods of the people, and such
are in constant demand at satisfactory
prices. ~
Fifth.-The demand for poultry pro
ducts is increasing, because of the
advancing prices of meats of all kinds
and the gradual diminishing of the sup
plies of wild fowls and other game
Furthermore, new and special uses fol
poultry products, especially eggs, are
arising and extending.
Sixth.-The products of poultry keep
ing are concentrated and valuable
though perishable. They can stand con
siderable expense for prompt transport
alton in fresh condition to desirable Gus
toners. They are salable for cash
There is little If any waste.
Seventh.-The fowls utilize much o
the waste of the household and farm
and turn them quickly into products o
value.
Eighth.-Poultry properly man aged
enrich and benefit the farm, garden
and orchard.
inth.-Poultry keeping may be ad
vahtageously combined with, or added
TO other occupations.

OBITUARY.
CHRIsToPH KILLER.

--------~N'
The spirit of Christoph Hitler passed
away with the passing of the old year.
Mr.. Hitler, who was 81 years of age,
had been in poor health for several years,
waiting patiently and hopefully for the
end; looking forward to meeting his
Saviour and loved ones gone before, when
the "weary watch" would be over.
He was born in Wurtemburg, Ger
many, July 10th, 1926. When about 25
years of age he came to this country and
in October, 1851, was married to Wal
burga Schweizer, and settled at Beach
Lake, where the rest of his life was
spent. He was kind husband and
father, a man of industrious habits not
afraid of hard work. His life was full
of kind deeds, and was of great service
especially to those of his neighbors and
friends who were also his countrymen;
to whom he became counselor, spiritual
adviser, and friend indeed; going at any
hour of the day or night to minister to
their wants. He was often called to the
sick and dying, caring for the sufferer
as long as life lasted and doing all that
a brothercould do !; in some cases preach
ing the funeral sermon and conducting
the last rites at the grave.
He was never too busy or too tired to
go cheerfully at any call, refusing all
remuneration his only reward to know
he served his fellow men. He also ac-
quired considerable knowledge of the
diseases of domestic animals, and his
services were much in demand in this
line.
He was member of the M. E. church
for about forty years and served as class
leader and local preacher; being often
called.upon to expound the Word of God
at Beach Lake and nearby meeting
places. His faithfulness, unselfshness
and cheerful willingness to minister to
those in distress, together with his child
like faith in Christ, made the text chos-
en- by his pastor, Rev. Mr.. Tuthill, very
appropriate: II have fought good
fight, have kept the faith, henceforth
there is laid up for me crown of right
eousness which the Lord, the righteous
Judge shall give in that day."
He is survived by one son, Jacob A.
Hitler, of Honesdale two daughters,
Mrs. T. S. Oliver, of Scranton, and
Lizzie M, of Beach Lake. One son,
Christoph, Jr., died seven years ago,
and one son and two daughters in in
fancy.
We laid him to rest in the cemetery
at Beach Lake by the side of his wife,
there to await the resurrection of the
just.
dead YET SPEAKING"
Past Sorrow now, dear friend,
Sweetly asleep;
Thou hast reached the blest end
We wait and weep.
What is Thy word to-day
Far from the skiesP
Does it not from the clay
Bid US arise2
Follow, as Thou hast done,
The blessed Lord
Comfort each sorrowing one
From His own Word2
To the sad prisoner
Whisper release
To storm-tossed mariner
Tidings of peace?
Where Pain hath sent its dart,
Lay cooling palm
On the lone mourner's heart
Pour healing balmp
From our own cup of woe,
Wormwood and gall,
When grief shall bring us low, -
Let no drop fallH
Yes, we will lift our eyes
Though the tears flow,
Fen while we strive TO rise
We miss thee 90
