Immediately after the varsity race the

 Although silk floss has replaced feath- CTS to large extent in the making of cushions the demand for feathers of good quality seems unfailing.

Of course the average farmer would have to wait a long time before aceumulating a hundred pounds of feathers, but there Is no doubt but that several farmers could put their feathers into one lot and ship them with profit. However. this opportunity is lost sight of for the most part, and the vest ern hen man gets the money.
