YELLOW HOUSE, Pa, Dec. Is
Paul r. Guldin is a young man and a
school teacher in this little town. His
fame does not rest there. however, for
he is the champion poultry raiser in
Berks County. which means tho
champion of Pennsylvania
How he earned his title Is understood
when IL is stated that he was n student
at the keystone State Normal School at
the age OF twelve years. after a pre-
liminary education in the rural school
known as Locustdale a graduate from
Mercersburg when but seventeen. and
a graduate with honors from Cornell
University at twenty-five. when he
completed a four years course of agri-
culture.
That is why he is teaching the young
idea" in tho IOcustdale School and at
the same time teaching farmers how to
raise chickens.
When he came home he put many
little things into practice that Re had
learned at Cornell. besides putting his
own ideas in harmony with those OF the
college and blending them so we'll that
he has already obtained wonderful re-
suits, and gray-bearded farmers OF the
Olev Valley have welcomed the new,
up-to-date ideas and are remodeling
their own plans according to Guldin's.
Seven months a year he spends in
the Locustdale schoolroom as teacher.
where he started out as pupil. This
nets him 1885 a year. The rest of the
year and the spare hours mornings.
evening and when no school sessions
are held-are all devoted TO the welfare
OF the finest flock OF White Leghorn
hens in the country.
Everything is practical on this farm.
Guldin IS at home on his fathers

Of seventy acres is farmed on shnres.

which these fowls eat is grown on these
farms and is obtained by the son from

There IS no fancy incubator house.
The old colonial farmhouse, with its
deep ground cellars. proved sufficient
for an incubator room. The cellar
was dug a foot deeper. and here a
large incubator with a capacity OF

Oklahoma Pastor Gets
Salary Paid in Cotton

MINCO. Okla. Dec. 25.-Since cotton
In an important product of the farms
of the Glenwood community, which,
owing to the cheapness In price. has IN
a great measure curtailed the farmers
income this year, the Rev. Charles l.
Cole, Methodist minister. announced at
the last quarterly conference that he
would accept cotton from members Of
his congregation and allow them cents
per pound in the seed In payment of his
salary.
Acting upon their pastors generous
offer various members contributed to
a bale of the feecy staple. which d. r.
Holcombe gathered together and Satur-
day brought to the gin in Minco, where
it was put into a bale free of charge
by Mr.. Gray. manager OF the gin, who
also purchased the seed at the current
price. Thus at least one Oklahoma
minister has set an example worthy OF
emulation ,by other pastors who are
dependent to a degree upon the cotton
growers for their support.
