The Poultry Industry.

The fact that representative OF
the Haggin family has gone into
the chicken-raising business on 4
Bluegrass farm is but one of many
indications of the growing impor-
lance of the poultry industry in
Kentucky.
In former years the man of the
house on the average farm seldom
troubled his mind about poultry
except on such occasions as 1.-THE
old woman's chickens" invaded
the wheat field or showed a dispo-
sition to render unnecessary assist
ance during the process of corn
planting. On such occasions the
honest farmer probably cast a few
clods at the invaders or set the
dog on them and then promptly
forgot that there was a chicken on
earth until he CHANGED to encoun-
ter one for his Sunday dinner.
He was thoroughly content to
leave the poultry business to the
women folks"
The women folks" are still
raising chickens in Kentucky, but
a large number of men who form
erly did not think the poultry
business worth while have seen a
great light. Thousands of farm
ers in Missouri never woke up to
the possibilities of poultry raising
until the great Worlds Fair was
held in St. Louis. Then a lot of
them went back home and began
to help the women folks" train
up Light Brahmas and Buff Co
chins and Black Mlnorcas in the
way they should 90. 1t was
good business and the average

FRfCKLtS GONE
"SimpIe Remedy From VIM. S,
Lloyd Removed Them," Says
Society Lady.

The best skin specialists told
me that nothing would remove my
freckles and that | would carry
them to my grave" said a well
known society woman, but | fool

my skin and gave me a fine com

The action of othine is really re-
markable, for when applied at
night, many of the freckles dis
appear entirely by morning, and
the rest have begun to fade. An
ounce is usually all that is needed,
even for the worst case.
Be sure to ask VIM. :. Lloyd
for the double strength othine, as
this is sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove
the freckes. u

Missourian doesn't have to be
shown" when it comes down to
"a question of poultry profits.
Missouri's EGG crop alone now is
worth twenty.odd million dollars
annually. The production is get
ting bigger every year, and it is
Missouri's proud boast that in
poultry she is pre-eminent.
Here in Kentucky we still think
50 little of the poultry industry
that we do not gather any statist-
les about it. Nevertheless it is a
great and growing business and
the product of the poultry farms
in the aggregate is enormous.
After a while the Federal Cen.
sus Bureau will tell us how many
chickens we had per capita in 1910
and the number of eggs that were
on hand when the enumerators
called. 1t will also tell us what
we are doing in the turkey line
and with respect to ducks, geese
and all that sort of thing. The
compilation will be highly enlight-
ening and 10 doubt there are
many who will be surprised at its
magnitude. In fact there are a
lot of us who haven't reached the
waking-up stage and need to be
shown" as were the Missouri
farmers.

New York Nationals will top the
list of spenders, owing to the fact
that the rent of their grounds is
$40, 900 year, which makes the
total expense of the club for the
year about $1SO,0OO, including the
$4,000 spent on the Southern
training trip and for new players.

The golf match between the Pink snd Indigo teams Sunday resulted ln a big lead for the Pinks. As yet, how ever. only about half of the matches have been played and before the din ner comes off things may look less blue for the Indigo team. when the results of the remaining matches have been turned in.
 The commlJtee has been obliged 10 change the date of the dinner and smoker from Thursday to Saturday night, June 3. The dinner will be at seven o'clock and cars will leave Bisbee for the Country club at 5:00, 6:30. 7:30 and S:09 p. ID.
 All players who have not settled their match before Saturday must take one of the early cars and under the direction of the two captains will have to play off their match on the ninth green before the dinner.

 Sporting Editor:
 "Is there anyone in or around Bisbee who would like a go on the mat with me? l weigh 172 pounds and will take on anyone at my weight. hope to hear from you as soon as possible. l will consider 1t a great favor if you will let me know if l can get a match with any. one there. Respectfully yours,
 CHESTER GROW"
 There are some good wrestIers in the district, as shown by matches pulled on recently at the Lowell club smokers and one of them might be willing to take Grow on. It would not be a bad idea, If a bout can be arranged. to pull it of on the Fourth of July, as a part of the sport program being arranged by the committee on sports. Or if the sports committee does not care to place it on the program, the Lowell club might take it up as a separate feature. Grows address is general delivery, Tucson, ATE.

AVERAGE VALUE OF ESTATE,

The following Is a sum. mary of the facts shown:
 Q) Out of 10000 persons oveI twenty-five years of age dying during the quarter only 3,351, or just about one-third, left any estates whatever Of those who were heads of families only one-haif left any estate; the other half left nothing, not even 6 savings bank account.
 (2) Of the 3,351 estates sdminis tered on, only SS4-about 27 per cent of all estates and g per cent of all those dying-were worth over s5.0OO
 (S) Sixty-dve per cent of all lefi DO estates: 25 per cent of all lef estates valued at under s5,0O0, the average value of those below this amount being s1.292. Less than per cent Of all left estates valued a' s5,O00 or over.
 These investigations were made without reference to life insurance but they afford a powerful argumenr of life insurance. They are the re suits Of life-not It's rosy-hued expec tations.
