George w. EIkins Establishes
Model Poultry Farm.
Member of Millionaire Family Erects
$35, 900 Plant, All Under One Roof
Business Is Now on Pay
ing Basis.

Philadelphia Abingdon, one of
to the famous Folly Farms on the Ell
kins estate, young George w. Elkins,
a member of the millionaire family,
has succeeded in establishing a chick
en- farm that is really a model.
Ten acres, upon which are built the
most improved types of shelters and
feeding spaces for the chickens, COM
prise the farm. 1t cost, in addition to
the original purchase price of the
handsome $40, 000-the sum of $751;
900 more Experts have said that
the investment is sound, paying
business proposition and not simply
the qualification of a millionaire's
within.
Mr. Elkins, business man, clubman,
horseman, golfer and motorist, Is also
an expert ON chickens. The farm is
under his personal supervision and
care. Every detail of its management
has been carefully planned. Richard
Smith, the superintendent of the
chicken farm, frequently goes to Mr..
Elkins for advice and suggestions.
The farm is built on a portion OF
the Ash property. which Mr.. Elkins
acquired recently. A unique idea OF
Mr. Elkins was to have his whole
plant under one roof Builders told
him this was impracticable, but he
succeeded in having his scheme car
ried out and it has proved extremely
justifiable
A building one story in height, 20
feet wide and 1913 feet long, was
erected, facing the south. 1t was di-
vided into II compartments, each
capable Of accommodating 125 chick
ems. At the western end of the house
is a brooder, 115 by 20 feet, fitted up
with 80 brooders and capable OF car
ing for 1890 little chicks.
At the extreme northern end is a
large colony house for setting hens.
In this end also are the feed rooms,
the heating plant and the incubator
rooms One long passageway runs
the entire length of the whole house,
and the entire plant is thus under one
roof. This simplif1es construction.
makes for economy and is a big saving
of time in handling the chickens, be-
sides being a sanitary arrangement
With the large acreage at his dis
posal Mr.. Elkins is not bothered with
the question Of runs. Five runs have
been constructed, each about so by
290 feet. These have been set out
in rye and grass and nearly 400 peach
trees have been planted. Wire net
ting incloses the runs and the space
provided is ample for each batch of
500 chickens.
Feeding troughs, nests, lofts and all
equipment is kept spotlessly clean.
Here the personal supervision and
care of Mr.. Elkins is manifested al
most daily. Mr. E1kins says he does
not believe In feeding chickens pre-
pared food, but that plenty of corn
meal milk and bread, boiled, with

he is not given a fair chance In the
world. He drifts into truancy and this
leads to criminality of all kinds.
THE members of the Chicago Dem
tai society stand ready to devote their
time and energy to carry out this
work., but they are not in a position
to bear the financial burden which it
entails. A fund of $4,000 is needed
to equip and maintain the dispensaries
for one year, by which time it is ex-
pected that the city council will recog-
nize the fact that this is a civic econ
omy and will make appropriations &C,

LOFTY peak OF almost pure
a copper in the mountain
N ranges of the Copper river
A district in Alaska is to be
transported to a smelter at
Tacoma, Wash. the first shipment of
1000 tons of broken ore was shipped
recently by a railroad just completed
from Cordova on the southern coast
of Alaska to Kennicutt, about two
hundred miles inland, where the mine
is located.
The mine cost it's owners about one
million dollars, the railroad with
equipment calls for an expenditure of
some twenty-three million dollars.
To the prospectors who originally
located the copper lode now called the
Bonanza, the property was practically
worthless without a railroad. They
could not get the copper to market
In fact, without capital they could not
mine the ore, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that the hardy pi-
oneers who discovered the deposit
could meet the legal requirements of
the United States government and pay
for the assessment work from year to
year.
The law demands that 800 worth of
work shall be done on each claim
every year by any one taking up min
ing rights in Alaska. This demand
meant not only the cost of labor, for
which the liberal estimate of ten dol
lars a day. is allowed for each man
employed, but it necessitated carrying
supplies of food from Valdez along a
hazardous and narrow horse trail for
a distance roughly calculated at two
hundred miles.
The discourag ements, sufferings and
tragedies Which followed this trail trip
through the wilderness, in the winter
months when the fierce billiards Of
Alaska swept for days at a time down
the Copper river valley, piling the
snow ten to twenty feet deep in
gulches, are heard of at the camp
fireside today, and have caused many
a chechak newcomer in Alaska) to
turn back before he has crossed the
summit
1t was conditions like these with
which Jack Smith and Clarence War
ner. who discovered the Bonanza, had
to contend from 1900 until they sold
their interest in the property, sew
erai years later. Meanwhile in order

trappings of a snowy people, and the
radiant colors of a tropical cline, 1.-THE
Arab" comes to the Newark Theatre
next week, beginning with an extra
matinee Christmas Day and the usual
matinees Wednesday and Saturday.
There is an added interest in the fact
that the presentation of this great play
is coincident with the annual visit of
Robert EdeSon lie has made of 1.-THE
Arab even a greater success than was
anticipated by the author, Edgar Sell
wyn, when the piece was written for
Mr.. Edeson.
The Arab" portrays life in a country
just now occupying a large position in
the public eye, by reason of the war be-
tween Italy and Turkey, and the re-
cent uprising of the young Turks,
which resulted in the deposing of the
Sultan. But even aside from this fea-
ture there is reason for enjoyment to
be found within the play itself.
The play is brimful of action. 1t
tells the story of q plot by a Turkish
governor. currying favor with the sui
tan by means of a massacre OF Chris
tians, of how Jamil foils the intention
of the governor at the risk of his
own life, and throughout showing the
unfolding of the natural nobility of the
man under the benign influence of a
pure love which he is forced to hide at
times.

as that which contributed to the sue
