A Large Poultry Farm.

Isaac Wilbur of Little Compton, r.
l., has the largest poultry farm in the
world. He ships from 100000 to 15O,-
900 dozen of eggs a year. He keeps
his fowls on the colony plan, hous-
ing about forty in a house 8x10 or
8x12 feet in size, these houses being
about $50 feet apart, set out in long
rows over the gently sloping fields.
He has 100 of these houses, scatter
ed over three or four fields. The
food is loaded into a low wagon,
which Is driven about to each house
in turn, the attendant feeding as he
goes; at the afternoon feeding the
eggs are collected. The fowls are
fed twice a day. The morning food
Is a mash of cooked vegetables and
mixed meals; this mash is made up
the afternoon of the day before. The
afternoon feed Is whole corn the
year round.

Oscar Shirley, the we'll known
breeder of pure bred live stock. has
lately purchased pair of Suffolk
mares that are said to be the heavi-
est and highest priced pure bred
mares ever brought into Maine. Mr..
Shirley bought the team of Peter
Hopley & Son of Iowa, who import
ed them from England in August,
1909. They are full sisters
three and four years old and
weigh respectively 1850 and
1905 pounds. Both mares are guar
anteed to be with foaI by the cham
pion Suffolk stallion of England.
This makes two teams of Suffolks
for Mr.. Shirley, as he is also the
owner of a pair of registered mares
weighing over 5000 pounds, that were
good enough to win the first prize
In the draft horse class at the carni-
val In Houlton last summer. These
mares are expected to produce foals
next spring by Sproughton's Lad, the
Suffolk stallion Mr.. Shirley bought in
Quebec last year. And every one
will wish Mr.. Shirley good luck in
his breeding venture.

are shovelled into a hopper where they
descend to the floor below to the
washing machine-a revolving drum
which is kept constantly filled with
fresh water. The potatoes come
from the washer into long trough,
where a revolving screw moves them
towards an elevator where they are
raised to a grinder. The potatoes
emerge from the grinder mass of
yellowish pulp, where 1t Is met by
hundreds of tiny streams of water,

of the screen that holds the pulp.
When all the starchy properties of
the pulp have been washed into the
vat below, the contents of the screen
is emptied as waste. while the watery
contents of the vat is allowed to
stand "a hours, when the starch set
ties to the bottom and the impurities
float In the water above. This water
is carefully drawn off, when the
starch receives a second washing
which leaves 1t clean and white. 1t Is
then taken to a superheated dry room,
where in a few hours it is ready for

starch are obtained from barrel of
potatoes. The starch is packed In

and is shipped largely to cotton fac

Asceuslon partsl, Teachers Association.


A joint meeting OF the Donaldson
vile and New River branches Of the
Ascension Parish Teachers Assoeia-
ton was held last Saturday Ia the
auditorium of the local high school
building, with a large number OF
members in attendance. The meeting
was called TO order at o a. m. by Supt.
c.. j. Brown, who was unanimously
chosen to preside. After song by the
teachers the roll was called and the
responses were accompanied by quo
tations from southern authors. A
general discussion on sDiscipline"
followed, several new points being
brought out. Prof. G. G. Henson,
president of the Isfdore Newman Man
ual Training School of New Orleans,
who was present to address the teach
ers, gave some valuable suggestions
in summing up the discussion on this
topic.
Prof. Henson then favored the as
sociation with an interesting and
profitable talk on Dynamo Factors in
Education, contrasting the new as
pect of training pupils with the old.
Supt. Brown next called for reports
from the different schools and all had
something encouraging to tell OF the
progress being made. Many of the
teachers brought with them splendid
specimens OF Industrial and manual
training work done by their pupils.
which demonstrated clearly the great
possibilities along this line.
The subject of Typographical In
auenees on American History" was
handled with marked ability by Miss
-Leona Gullatt, recess following.
The afternoon session was taken up
with a general critique by supt.
Brown, followed by splendid talk on
industrial Training" by Prof. Hen
son. Among other things, he said
that primary education increases a
pupils earning capacity SO per cent,
high school education 100 per cent,
and college education 200 per cent,
He said that industrial education
helps to keep girls and especially boys
in the schools and better prepares
them to earn their livelihood. He also
emphasized the great value of athletics
in the schools. Prof. Henson is an
attractive speaker and is very enthu-
siastic in all educational problems,
those which relate to in
dustrial training.
