item reported Is strictly accurate, and
may furnish helpful basis for calcula-
tion for any person contemplating enter
ing the poultry business as gainful &C.
cupation. Mr. Miles states, however
that his experience has been, that in any
considerable increase of stock, whether
of poultry or cattle, there is always a
more or less decrease OF profit.
He began the experiment Dec. l, 1910,
with 20 Rhode Island red pullets and 16
White Wyandottes, later he lost two
which left an average of "a for the year.
From the "a he secured a total of 531O
eggs, or 4i21s dozen, up to Dec. l, 1911.
The total receipts for eggs and chickens
sold or used was $14729. The total cost
for feed for the year was $7116, thus ex-
ploding the theory that one dollar VIII

out deducting the value of time spent in
their care, or the interest on the money
invested, was 1924. After careful study
of the work done by each variety he
found that the Rhode Island reds beat the
Wyandottes six per cent at the laying

 The board of county commission CTS. members of the Child Welfare league and others sought to oust the officials on June 1, 1921, when the new juvenile laws became effee- tive. Judge Bells rulings on the main points raised were: That the probation officers did not cease to hold office when the new law gov erning their positions went into ef- feet that their term of office is con- tinuous and that it was not necessary that they he reappointed; that the approval of the county commission CTS was not necessary to make the reappointment effective, and that the county commissioners have only the power to fix sa aries. hut not to dictate the personnel of the ap- polntments or the manner in which they shall perform their duties.

They killed mighty good hoy when ihey killed Barney.'' was an ex- precision heard many times on the streets yesterday as solemn faced friends of the Pulaski county deputy sheriff read where he had been killed by negroes in Desha county.
 There was probably no more popu- lar citizen of Little Rock in the matter of Statewide popularity, than Barney Stiel There certainly has not been more popular officer in Arkansas than this young martyr.
 A few years ago Barney Stiel while doing newspaper work in Lit tie Rock served the Sentinel Record in an obliging, faithful and willing manner. Later he left the news paper field but he continued to be obliging. faithful. and willing in oth- er fields, and made many friends.
 Especially in Hot Springs and Littie Rock vas Barney popular. lie was an optimist. booster, and "a good fellow. without the evii features attendant on this latter qualification.
 There will probably be no marble spires over his tomb to proclaim his deeds of worth. but in the memory of wider circle of friendships than enjoyed hy few in this common wealth. there will ever be kept re- memhrances of love and esteem for Barney Stiel.
