tific lines purely-as are the agricul.
turalistS and the horticulturists. The
old-time barnyard hen is gone. In
her place has come a carefully bred
carefully fed and properly housed
fowl that may be depended upon to
produce from 200 to $50 eggs a year.
This is expensive and requires care
but it pays in the end and nobody can
make money in the poultry business

of the four egg, that does not
go about his work from the stand
point of the scientific expert.
So strongly convinced are many
level-headed businessmen of the
profit in eggs that they have formed
the Central Pennsylvania Poultry AS
ISOLATION and will hold their second
annual show this year. Later they
hope to go into the subject Of CO.
operative buying.
Dairy Farm Opportunities
Still another opportunity for the
man casting for an investment that
takes with it profitable employment
is that of dairy farming near Harris
burg. Milk is the one farm product
that this territory produces in guam
titles sufficient to permit of export on
a large scale, and yet the supply is
falling behind the demand so much
that raise of price has been threat
ening for several years. The vast
Hershey farms to the east are eX-
amples of dairying on q large scale.
Bonnymeades, nearer still, is yet a
better illustration of milk production
in manner thoroughly sanitary and
yet able to hold its own with the
milk of some less careless farmers,
from a profit-making standpoint.
Tho dairy herds nf TloI1nhin ~
are steadily increasing in size and
quality while meat animals are fall
ing off in numbers. Here, too, profit
depends upon scientific management
Selection of stock, feeding and hous-
ing are big features Of the business
while the handling of the milk is OF
scarcely less importance.
Taken all in all, land, first cost
prices to be realized, Harrisburg and
vicinity offer excellent opportunities
for the farmer who knows his job.

IT HE Chestnut street market house
l management is planning toward
the innovation of an all-day
market in Harrisburg. Already the
Saturday evening market at Chestnut
street is we'll patronized. 1t was start
ed-not to compete with the half-cen-
tury old Saturday night market at
State street, but to take its place, for
it is very evident that with the pur-
chase of this property by the State, the
famous old State street market house
will be removed and It's patrons have
been driven elsewhere. The pioneers
at Chestnut street are doing good
business and already there have been
inquiries from some who would like
to keep stands open there all OF Sat
lurday.
| Such a move would prove a well
come addition to Harrisburgs excel
lent market facilities, which are un-
excelled In Pennsylvania.
1t is the pride of Harrisburg people
that they can buy about anything on
the local markets that is eaten any
where. Want bit of Canadian sal
mon, a sword-fish steak, a quart OF
scallops or q dish of green turtle or
terrapin? Harrisburg markets will
have 1t If in season. Does your palate
crave a few English hothouse grapes.

society and to prevent, when possible,
others from losing such position.
The Charities considers the most i'm
portant feature of it's work is the re-
habilitation of the family, by elimi-
mating from it all conditions tending
to produce poverty, thereby restoring
such families to a normal position In
society, is according to their princi-
pies. The organization does not give
aims, but by effecting complete CO.
operation among all the agencies that
furnish material relief, institutional
care, ETC., they are enabled to re-
spond invariably within six hours to
any call upon them for relief. This
relief is generally given the first time
without question, but adequate knowl-
edge is gathered before it becomes
necessary to repeat it and complete
histories of all families are kept as
confidential records at the clearing
house
The Charities visitor is, in charity
work, exactly parallel to the medical
practitioner and the visiting nurse.
The visitor studies the symptoms and
after conference with the case COM
mittee and general secretary, the
treatment is continued by furnishing
the relief necessary, as a physician
would administer a drug, only long
enough for them to develop natural
resources, secure such institutional
care, employment, hospital or other
attention as may be required. All
treatment is administered only for the
purpose of effecting a permanent cure.
One slogan of the association is that
Charity without plan defeats it's
own object" Another is organized
love- Another is that Inadequate
relief is worse than no relief" that
any family which should be helped at
all should be adequately relieved un-
til they are restored to normal places
of society. In order to do this the
Associated Charities calls upon every
agency in the city, if necessary. until
the object is obtained.
In many ways the Charities operates
for the benefit of the community, last
Christmas canvassing the city in order
to obtain the names, ages and ad-
dresses of all poor children, that MEM
bers of the Telegraph Full Christmas
Stocking Club might play Santa Claus

MARKET GARDENING
AND FRUIT GROWING

Farm Prices Not High Considering
Location and Quality of
the Land

Ii there is one opportunity open to
the investor with a knowledge of the
business and a willingness to work in
this year 1914, it is market-gardening
and small fruit growing in the vi
cinity of Harrisburg.
Time was, and only very few
years back at that, when what is now
Island park, big sections of what is
now Allison Hill and practically
all that great territory north of Reilly
street and west of Sixth as far as
Rockville, was given over to the rails
ing of vegetables, berries and the like
In those days Harrisburg and vicinity
produced more vegetables and fruit
than could be used here. Because the
land was very rich, the transporta-
ton nothing and labor comparatively
cheap, farmers prospercd and some
of them who managed we'll grew rich
The remarkable success of the
Housers and the Holsters in this re-
spect indicate the possibilities of mar
ket-gardening for Harrisburg even
in those early days.
Some Of this fine bottom land is
still under cultivation and the Heis-
ter gardens and orchards are still
noted for their productiveness and the
excellency of their crops but much of
the one-time farmland is now given
mainder is so rapidly being built upon
that soon the cost of it must disap-
pear.
But as the city has encroached upon
the farmland, the population has
grown, and with it the demand for
homegrown things
That the local markets are not sup
piled by local farmers to anything like
their capacity to absorb is shown by
the vast quantities of green goods and
small fruits handled here by the COM
mission men.
There is fine land for the purposes
indicated in any direction outside
of Harrisburg and within easy reach.
That it can be profitably worked is
shown by the large number of farm
ers who bring their wares to market
twice a week. But most of these
market people grow vegetables and
small fruits merely as a side line and
make no serious attempt at profit
garden crops.
Apple Growing
Apples and peaches can also be
grown to profit. An example of what
may be done along this line may be
seen at the Simons farm near Lin
glestown and the Walton farm, near
Hummelstown, Is a fine sample of
Dauphin county's productiveness In
the way of fruit.
There Is also good chance of sue
cess in poultry raising and dairy
farming. The Fritchey poultry farms
near Linglestown and the Blough
farms near Dauphin produce poultry
for tile market and eggs on large
scale and both arc said to be profit
able investments. The men who are

phin county arc working along scien-

Chestnut street market is open also on
Saturday evenings.
Verbeke street market house, which
is also the largest-about seventy-flvd
feet in width and extending from
Third street almost to Sixth, is the old-
est and most largely attended. Some.
times as many as 5000 people attend
this market in a single morning. II

purpose by William Verbeke.
Next in size is the Chestnut street
market, which does almost as much
business as Verbeke street, while the
Allison Hill market is smaller but
does an enormous trade. The Kelkef

are open Saturday nights. 81

~ NE of the activities it is planned
to enlarge during 1914 is the
~ work of the Associated Chari-
ties-the organization around
which centers nearly all of the city's
charitable organizations, influences
and work. Its work is to see that all
the worthy poor and needy receive
care, to prevent needless and some
times harmful duplication and to de-
tect imposters.
One of the members of the Chari-
ties has thus outlined its objects:
To serve as clearinghouse for all
the charity work of the city.
To investigate the needs and condi-
tions causing the needs of all persons
in distress, reporting promptly to those
inquiring about such persons.
To cooperate or organize charity
by effecting system among the benev-
olent individuals or agencies giving
relief.
To secure prompt and adequate ac-
tion in the giving of relief and the
temporary plan.
To rehabilitate the family, or to
restore them to a normal position in

besides. Those helmets were never worn by any save
white men. The chief scowled under his shading palm.

When the caravan came within hailing distance the

tina door Of his zenana, in his stables, on his pillows.
In his heart he had sworn the death OF Ramanais but
here was a phase upon which he had set no calcula-

scorned to pay any attention to these warnings; but this
Ramabai-may he burn in hel!-was g power with

Imagine his establishment when, O few minutes after
his arrival, Ramabai and Pundita demanded audience,
the one straight Of back and proud Of look, the other
serene and tranquil! Umballah felt a wave OF bland
hatred surge over him, but be gave no sign. Ramabai
stated his case briefly. Col Hare and his daughter were
being held prisoners for ransom. Thrse bags of silver
something like five thousand rupees-were demanded by
the captors. +
The council looked toward Umballah, who nodded,
having in mind the part Of the good Samaritan, with
reservations, to be sure. Having trod the paths Of the
white man, he had acquired a certain adroitness in hold
ing his people. They had at best only the stability OF
chickens. What at one moment was a terror was at
another a feast. For the present, then, he would pre-"
tend that he had forgotten all about Ramabais part in
the various unsuccessful episodes.
To the council and the gurus Cor priests) he declared
that he himself would undertake to assume the part Of
envoy; he himself would bring the legal king OF Alfalfa
back to his throne. True, the daughter had been
crowned, but she had forfeited her rights. Thus he would
return with Col. Hare rs soon as he could make the
journey and return.
