acres Of rich land, much Of it in

selves In the various Industries which
we teach. With the Institute as a
nucleus, manufacturing and indus
trial center can be developed, fur
n1sh1ng an Independent living for
hundreds and thousands Of thrifty
Negroes. For instance, we have
made this year over 100000 brick
In our brickyard, and have contracts
for 100000 more, that will be de-
livered by December /. For lack
Of facilities, We were compelled to
refuse contract calling for 100000
brick in addition to the above We
are~now booking orders for the
spring delivery, and the firms we
nave supplied say the brick is of
superior grade"
I'VE have a sawmill also, that is
bringing excellent returns, and the

Poultry and dairy farming go well
together.
Cold Is the greatest factor in the
keeping Of eggs.
Not more than twenty-five birds
should be kept~in one flock
One of the conditions of the poultry
man is to find the difference between
hens.
And after a chicken is about half
grown it is surprising what a lot they
can eat
The poultrymen who know what
each hen is doing usually takes bet
ter care of each hen.
Bacteria can be kept away from
eggs to some extent by frequently re-
newing the nest material.
1t is a pleasure to raise healthy
birds and they are not delicate crea-
lures If properly cared for.

Although there is no great premium
on yellow skinned chickens, yet the
average consumer prefers them.
Wherever 1t is possible, the colony
house system Of housing poultry is
strongly recommended for the general
farm.
1t costs but little. If any more. to
grow pound of poultry than a pound
Of pork; the price per pound of each
speaks for itself.
Pullets are the best layers. Old
hens bring the egg record down. Sell

In the poultry business, perhaps,
more than In any other, time and at.
tention given to details, rather than a
large expenditure Of money, is what
means profit or loss.
