"BIDDIE" TO THE FRONT.
The farmers of Ohio county have
been induced lately to enter heartily
into the poultry industry and to make
the latter a prominent feature OF
the farm. Consequently the scrub
hen is everywhere being discarded
for the better strains Of FLOODED bree' $
Modern equipments are being erected
and the indications are that within
the next month the county will have
organized and in active operation a
live poultry association. OF course
there will be here and there num-
Der of fanciers, but the principal fea-
ture will be commercial poultry. It
is believed that this revolution in anil
NAL industry will add thousands of
dollars annually to Ohio county's

the livestock interests generally have
been revived and universal activity Is
manifested among the tillens of the
