LOCAL POULTRY A r
(Everything.)

The Hendersonville Poultry Farm
now has 10000 hens to raise chickens.
This is the biggest chicken farm in
the state. The farm has just con-
tracted with an Asheville hotel to
furnish 1000 pounds of poultry per
week which means about $500 along
with $75 worth of eggs. If our South
ern people would raise mor chickens
and less cotton perhaps there would
be less calls on Uncle Sam to get
them out of the hole.

The field of Kumanovo in its spring

that II was difficult to imagine that
there more than 100000 men struggled
for victory In one of the greatest stra-

little town lies a mile or more from the
railroad station and only its mlnarets
and church steeples show above the

The Nardar flows southwark through
the broad, rich plain OF Uskub, that is
surrounded on all sides by high noun
talns, some OF which are snow tipped
even in summer. This stream which
the Servians believe can be made nav
igable and even utilized by connecting
1t with Morava as a link in a system Of
canals joining the Danube and the
.Egean Sea. PUSHES on with the impetu-
osity of mountain brook. Most of the
year II Is full from bank to bank. and
the plan Is to control 1t by building locks
along its course. The project has been
considered feasible and at the same
time one of the least expensive OF all
the means of reaching the seacoast.
The railroad follows Its course almost
to Salonica. Through the understanding
with the Greeks the roadbed Is to be
improved another track laid for freight
cars and separate terminal facilities
furnished for Servian commerce at Sa-
lonica.
Neles, which the world has known
best by its Turkish name of Kuprulu. Is
the first important town in the valley
south of Skoplje. 1t is picturesquely
situated at the point where the great
hills narrow down almost to the rivers
edge. The station, like most OF those
in Turkey, lies almost a mile from the
town, a site that In this instance seems
unnecessary as the rails are laid prac-
ticilly along one of the principal streets.
From the Nardar the little white
houses climb the cliffs until those high
est up look like swallow nests. But the
rocks have been a small hindrance to
the builders of Veles. for they have used
them as foundations and walls and have
made of them cellars. even carved them
into stationary tables and cupboards.
Neles has furnished the Balkans for

centuries with It's peculiar brand of
Turkish pottery and the brilliant green
and red leather prodigaly used in
household decoration.
From Veles a highway leads over the
mountains to the Albanian frontier. In
Turkish times even the most adven-
turous hesitlted to travel 1t on pack
horse. for it wound perilously along the
edge Of cliffs and was often infested by
robbers and brigands. The Young
Turks undertook to build carriage
way, but before they had finished it the
war came and the Servians turned the
project over to the original contractors
for completion.
After leaving the valley the road
winds over Mount Presat in long ser
pentine lines giving an ever changing
view over the mountains and valleys of
southern Macedonia. At its highest
point 1t passes an old Turkish watch
house, standing to-day as 1t was left
after its valiant defenders had persisted
to a man, its walls Scared with bullets,
its roof, doors and windows burned and
its little garden filled with graves.
