Salisbury, N H., Man Says Poultry
Raising Is Very Remuneratiye.

Salisbury, N. H., Jan 20.-Having
heard the question regarding the profits
of poultry raising discussed frequently in
the past year, Frank II. Dunlap of West
Salisbury has given out statement on
the subject.
During 1908 great many poultry fan
ciers went out Of the business because
OF the 20 per cent. rise in the cost
Of grain and other supplies; However,
Mr.. Dunlap believes that poultry cul-
ture is the most remunerative branch
Of agricultural pursuit,
Mr., Dunlap is the proprietor of the
general grocery store and post Office in
this village and spends 10 hours a day
in the store. Outside OF this time, he,
with bis youngest son, Bernard, takes
care Of 500 hens without expanding more
than two hours daily. This Ia during
the winter months, and after that time
is consumed in caring for the chicks in
broodars which are Matched with hens.
Starting in 1887 with a flock num-
bering but 20, he has steadily kept in
creasing the number until now the an.
nual hatch is between 1000 and l,l00
chickens, with the average winter stock
OF layers about 500
Mr.. Dunlap has built houses according
TO. the constantly increasing number of
fowls, until the present number is Is.
These are kept whitewashed and regu-
larry cleaned, so the best sanitary eondi-
tions prevail.
The old subject as to whether the poul-
try business is a profitable vocation Ii
one that has been under much discussion
of late, and in answer Mr.. Dunlap sub
mits the following figures:

quent Improvements which have been
made during this period OF % years. to-
tails $2,04T.02 This includes the poul-
try houses only, and IS exclusive Of the
dwelling house.
During the past % years the net
profits have been $Il,347i3 Besides
that S9,e56sl has been expended for
grain and supplies, making total Of
S21 ,0034l for all poultry and eggs sold.
Three principal varieties Of hens kept
are Rhode Island Reds, White Wyan-
dottes and White Lcghorns. These birds
are bred from the best strains, and their
laying qualities always stand first, as
no birds are ever exhibited Or eggs sold
for Matching,

THE LID IS ON.
Druggists Make Their Final Liquor
Reports.

The closing month of the regime OF
the drug store permit shows that the

short month of May amounted to more
than the sales of any previous month
for a year or more. The druggists
brought in their permits last evening,
and the probate judge was kept busy
for a while. Ed Arnold attached MS
permit to a facetious letter, bound In
crepe, which read as follows:

out there and he meant what he said
about the two institutions; no question
about that in the mind of anyone who
heard him. He knew what he was
talking about, too. He had grasped in
detail the work of the school and its
effect upon the people of that section &c, n
seven thousand acres of state land out
there and looked at the stock and the
growing crops.
The governor was also very much
| in earnest in his idea of establishing a
similar branch normal school in the
southwest part of the state. He has
figured 1t out that this can be done
for about $40, 900 and the cost of main
tenance will be about $4,000 per year.
