THE POULTRY INDUSTRY.

1t is a fact not generally known that
of all farm products poultry stands fifth
in value. 1t is estimated that the cash
derived from the sale of poultry and eggs
amounts to half a billion dollars annually.
1t is believed that this amount is being
rapidly increased each year, due to the
fact that farmers are beginning to realize
the profits there are in a well cared for
flock of hens. When all poultry keepers
fully appreciate how easy it is to increase
the productiVeness of their fowls, it is
fair to assume that this branch of farm
products will advance well toward first
place in relative value. The following let
ter from c. D. Chatterton of West Brook
field Vt, indicates the way in which
some are increasing their egg production.
He says: Il have used Pages Perfected
Poultry Food for the last two years and
l got one-third more eggs than before.
l can't get along without it,"
If you want to know more about this
food and the best ways of using it, write
to c. 5. Page, Hyde Park, Vt, for his
booklet profitable Poultry 1t will be
sent free, postpaid, to anyone mentioning

GASOLINE MIXED WITH KEROSENE.
Two Persons Badly Burned by Explosions
In Readsboro, But viii Probably Re-

cover.
Burned by mixture of kerosene and
gasoline which they had bought as pure
kerosene, Mrs. George Johnson and Hor-
ace Jillson are at their homes in Reads
boro in a serious condition. DR.. T. Fran
els Crowley, who is attending both cases,
hopes for their recovery. Mrs Johnson is
in the care of a professional nurse.
The mixture was bought from Howard
p. Billings who conducts the big general
store in the town, formerly known as the
Faulkner store, and he bought ii of an
oil company in North Adams. He or
dered a supply of kerosene and gasoline
and it was shipped to him. The gasoline
is generally labelled with a red label and
as one of the barrels was so labelled II
was set aside and the rest of the barrels
were emptied into the large tank in the
basement of the store. 1t developed later
that the label had been pasted on the
wrong barrel and the barrel of gasoline
had been emptied into the tank with the
kerosene.
Unwittingly, Mr.. Billings and his clerks
sold the mixture to the customers who
used 1t in the customary way.
1t is understood that Mrs Johnson was
burned when a can which had been placed
near her kitchen stove exploded. Her
clothing caught fire from the burning oil
and she was badly burned about the face
and body. Mr.. Jillson. who lives about
a mile and a half from the village, at
tempted to use the oil in forcing the fire
in his kitchen stove The front of the
stove was blown off and he was burned
about the face, head and chest 1t was
stated this week that both victims were
resting comfortably and would probably
recover. 1t was reported that other ex-
plosions occurred, but If so no serious
results followed

Farming Not all Fancy.

With the renewed interest In the pro-
duction of foodstuffs due to the higher
prices, it is not strange that some people
i'll fitted for farm life have undertaken
the business and made failures. In fact
they have made almost as bad a mess of
It as some others who have lived on
farms all their lives and still failed. This
is an intensive age and an age of spe-
clalizing and no man nowadays makes
success without study and application.
When a man begins to consider goins
back to the soil he needs to consider
something other than a glitterng pros
pectus of fertile farms and landscape eff
fects.
