1t is the editors desire and pur-

COUNTY paper in the fullest
meaning of the word. This week we

Sir Evelyn commends state prisons

"Promiscuity, unsanitary conditions,
the absence of supervision, idleness
and corruption-these remain features

MONEY IN CHICKENS

ings will be erected. 1 have found
one peculiar thing since took up the
chicken game and that is that every
raiser has his own peculiar ideas; no
two follow precisely the same method.
Il am deeply interested in chickens.
l believe that, in chickens as we'll as
horses, cattle or anything else, pick
a good strain, get the best possible
stock, use good common sense in
treatment and development and you'll
get results. 1t is possible that, after
awhile, I'll confine my efforts to a
couple of strains-possibly White
Rocks and Leghorns."
