pay to raise them at 1914 cents per
chicken. Mules were small but
brought the big sum of over $500 per
pair. One or the farms was sold On
the day Of sale to Charles Nichols,
for $4,000. George Friedel, the eld-
II brother, will continue in the chick
en- business. Frank and Adolphus have
withdrawn from the partnership and
