than it does to accomplish the same re- suits on the farm. Why then, is most Of our best poultry raised in the small towns or near the cities?
 The range which may be given the birds on the farm, except perhaps during the breeding season, is almost unlimited and this means a variety of feed, such as poultry require. and ample exercise, two things most essential to the economical production of vigorous birds.
 It requires some knowledge to raise good poultry and this can only be ob- tained by reading and studying the ex- perience of others as set down in poultry journals or agricultural papers and In books, and by actual personal experience in the handling of the birds. In the past this has been thought too small business for the farmer. but if that Is still the idea, we insist that the women and chil- dren should be given an opportunity to add this additional industry to the farm. Nor would we limit them to the produc- tion of eggs and the growing of birds to be used as food; but would insist that where the inclination exists they be given a chance to produce the best to be sold as breeders, or eggs to be sold for hatch ing.

MORE POULTRY
 ON THE FARMS
From the Progressive Farmer.

From the Progressive Farmer.
 No careful observer can fail to note the increased interest in poultry raising in the south during the last year. Like all other lines of live stock raising, 1t IS especially receiving attention in the area being invaded by the boil weevil. It is simply astonishing what capacity this lit tie bug-the boil weevil-has for making men think and even act. All lines or live stock are receiving more attention than ever before and poultry is coming in for it's share of increased attention. But. strange as it may seem the greater part of this increase in poultry interest IS among the people in the towns and to a much less degree among the farmers
 This appears to us wrong Surely there
 is no place where the opportunities for raising strong, healthy poultry at a mini mum of cost, are so good as out on the farms. Not only is this true as regards the production of utility poultry-eggs and birds for food-but 1t is especially true of the production of fancy poultry and birds for breeding.
 By much care, constant work and in tellgent feeding and management, good poultry is produced on the small lots in or near the towns; but it requires more intelligence and poultry knowledge to raise good birds under such conditions

When passing lamppost furnished enough light for him to see the denomina- | ton of the bills he drew $20 bill from the pile and handed 1t over to Harper | Harper looked at it long time. "Is

X XR. BENJAMIN FLoDDEN always MI referred to himself as a pro- 1Vx moter. He was sleek, well dressed and comfortably rich, like all clever men he specialized. His spe- cialty was in establishing Restaurants In city like New York tkis Is a far larger business than most pNrsons ap preciate There are thous Ants of res- taurants and there are hur,lreds of persons seeking good locations or ready to purchase an estabishment that has a profitable trade.
 Earlier in lifsssMn Flodden had made a speciality of sa1oous. He would open liquor store, develop a large rade and then sell ont. There always are men eager to go into the liquor busi- ness. The men who bought salons from Mr. Flodden rarely prospeied. son,ehow the trade dropped off annz- iDsly immediately after he sold out. Some of the men who purchased sa- looms from him declared they had been swindled. They had reasons to believe he misrepresented the facts to them and that receipts were inflated to irn press the buyer. MT. Flodden indig nantly denied these stories and declared that the large custom that suddenly de- veloped while he was dickering with purchaser was due entirely to his wide acquaintance and his popularity.
 The brewers, however, took the same harsh view that the purchasers did, and when they frowned upon him and went to the length of interfering in one or two promising deals he abandoned the liquor business and entered the restaurant field. He had no reason to regret the change. Conducting a restaurant was more re- spectable than running a saloon and there was fully as much opportunity for exercising his peculiar talents. He might have made a decided success of some of the places he opened, for he had fair amount of ability as a manager and his Judgment as to favorable locations was excellent, but he delighted in change. He never was happy unless ne was using his wits and he took an unholy satisfaction in putting through each and every one of his deals. Some of the men who bought from him succeeded, but few of them . had good word to say for him. Flodden only laughed when he heard the harsh things esome of the others said. Was 1t his fault they were so gullible? Busi- ness was business. They would be all the better off for their experience.
 Occasionally MT. Flodden operated un- der his own name but usually he used the name of one of his relatives. At times he had two or three establish ments. He always was ready to sell. Whepever. buyer hove in sight business showed a splendid increase. If the nego- fiations failed business went back to its former level.

 many leaks. He did not believe in hold ing place long. The more sales he made the larger were his profits He knew the channels through which pros- pective purchasers could be reached and he used them to advantage.
 In the height of his prosperity MT. Flodden opened fine restaurant in One Hundred and Twenty-ffth street. The site was flrst-class, the rental not too high for such neighborhood and the chance , for the development of 0 fair patronage in the course of time excellent if the bus mess was conducted on proper lines. But the slow process by which the general run of restaurant keepers build up trade was too monotonous for SC active per son as MT. Flodden. He preferred to | leave that to others. So soon as he had l the place in good running order he wrote an advertisement that would pe sure to appeal to any one seeking an investment in the restaurant line who read it. The day the advertisement was printed he got a most promising response. and the next day he had the pleasure Of meeting Charles Harper. Much of MT. Flodden's success might be ascriOed to the good im- presson he made upon people he met for the first time. He was so genial and smiled so often and had such an air of
  Harper was young, small and unobtru- sive. He was so frank in his statements that MT. Flodden warmed to him at once.
 MT.

Honan he would be guided by some degree by MT. | Harpers judgment, but he had mind of his own. In fact, some persons thought | he was rather brusque
 MT. Flodden was charmed. Did Mr. Honan have any experience in the res | taurant business?
 1 None at all, MT. Harper informed him. MT. Honan had been in the steel business He had worked hard all his life and now desired some of the creature comforts. | He was too active to be idle and if he | had a business that would employ fair amount of his time and give a good re- turn on the money invested 1t would be just the thing for him.
