Enjoyable Corn Roast
Al The Fe|ker Home

About 40 persons, nearly all of
whom were from Martinsburg. de-
scended upon the hospitable home of
Mr.. and Mrs. John d. Felker, about
two miles from the city along the
Hedgesville turnpike, last evening,
and spent the evening in having an
old-fashioned and altogether delightful
corn roast Mr.. and Mrs. Felker had
decorated the house and grounds for
the occasion with bunting and Ian
terms of every hue. and the scene was
very pretty one when the illumina-
tions were turned on.
A huge bonfire of wood was made
and around this great armfuls of corn
were roasted in the husk and eaten
with relish that only this succulent
dainty, well buttered and held in both
fists, can inspire In addition sau-
sages were roasted for sandwiches,
and a novelty was introduced in the
shape of toasted marshmallows, said
by those fortunate enough to be pres
ent to be a dish fit for gods and Mar
tinsburg girls.
The merry party did not dispense
until a late hour.

MONEY MADE BY
POULTRY FARMS
Big Railroad Interests Hse||
In Welfare Of West Vir.
Qinid Chicken RdiSGrS
Aids Department

The high prices of food stuffs of
all kinds furnish a constant incentive
to farmers and owners of small coun-
try places to engage in the poultry
industry, because of the ready return
to be derived from a modest invest
ment of capital Poul$rsy husbandry
engaged in under improved Anethods
of caring for the fowls, offers large
meats and eggs at the top prices to
be obtained in the prevailing markets,
and aside from this, it is compare
lively easy for small producers to
make comfortable living from poul-
try, with but little expenditure of
time or money on the flock.
There would seem to be general
recognition of these facts with respect
to the profits from poultry, as evil
denced by the recent action of a num-
Der &c state legislatures in making
appropriations for the specific pur-
pose of encouraging poultry raising.
The last session of the New Jersey
legislature set aside sum of $4,000
for the establishment and mainte-
nance of a separate department i'll the
State Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton for experimental work in the
breeding and care of fowls aud the pro
duction of eggs Similar action was
taken by the legislature of New York
State, through a fund of 100000 which
will be so applied; and following this
the State of Missouri only recently
established state poultry DEPART
ment, the work having been begun
with an appropriation from the legis
lature of $31 900.
Eastern states posses many advan-
tages for poultry raisers according to
experts on the subject, and statistics
show that the industry is being de-
veloped rapidly in this section which
is within easy and ready access to
the principal centers of food consump
ton.
In West Virginia, for instance, the
gains in the production of live and
dressed poultry and eggs during the
last few years have gone way beyond
all expectations, few states exceed
ing it in the value of the annual poul-
try production. In West Virginia the
Government Experiment Station has
accomplished much in the way of i'm
provement of the standard of the
flock in which work the cooperation
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
has been rendered. The Agricultural
Department of the road is working in
conjunction with tho government Off
cials in the work.
The belief is, however, that far
more satisfactory results could be OBJ
tanned were there sufficient funds to
insure the work being carried on sys-
tematically and consistently, and to-
wards this end a movement has been
started looking to the same character
of encouragement as has been receiv-
ed by the other states mentioned. In
breeding and care of fowls and the pro
of these states in the matter of poul-
try husbandry, the belief is that West
Virginia will not be found tagging in
the adoption of progressive measures
for the development of the entire
state Such an attitude has not been
the policy of the state government
in the past.

AUSTRALIAN OUTPUT

The production of gold in Australia,
writes the Melbourne correspondent of
the London Economist, continues TO de-
crease. The returns FOR August have just
been completed and the total for the
hrst eight months OF the current year is
]. .5i6. S33 fine ounces, against l,69. .62l flne
ounces for the corresponding period OF
1911, and l.79?,I2f fine ounces for the
corresponding period OF 1910. The New
Zealand production also shows decreases,
attributable to some extent 10 the sus-
pension of operations at the great Waihi
mine
The New Zealand total for the eight
months is 2@5 SGi fine ounces, against
aSS. SOC fine OUNCES in 1911, and coo 053
fine ounces in 1910, The value OF the
Austransian q. o. Australian and New
Zealeud) production for the first eight
months oc tho current year is s7.445. 1871.
AS against GS43IiS9 for the correspond
ing period last year. The Australian pro-
duction is likely TO continue TO fall off,
unless fresh and important discoveries;
are made. In Victoria the miners are
very dscontcntcd and arc objecting to
being searched.

propositions also offer better wages. and
