ABOUT POULTRY

The News does not claim to be an
authority on poultry raising, but we
hove heard so much said in the past
ohout the profits and losses in poultry
raising that we have been moved to
DO observations from time to time
ohout this important industry and ad-
;rrct TO every successful farm. Poul-
trv raising should be profitable in
|dustrv Why? Simply because poul-
trv and eggs are always in demand
and always will be and if they are
not bringing a price sufficient to make
|their production profitable, it should
10 raised until it is profitable. The
|nrice perhaps does not need to be
raised however. With proper meth
ods and strict economy, it is already
|pro6table industry. We believe how
ever that a poultry business simply
for the purpose of selling chickens and
eggs for consumption on the market
would not be profitable. Raising and
selling stock chickens and eggs in
Connection with it though would make
h profitable.
Most people become discouraged in
he poultry business by not being pre-
bared to begin with and after buying
n incubator or two and a brooder and
building houses and coops and making
failure the first year, they decide
hat there is nothing in the business.
Fbey are correct, when the business
not conducted on strict business
principles.
Generally speaking we might say
hat there are two ways of doing poul-
ry business One way is the way it
done on most farms where there
plenty of room, fields and orchards
0 roam over and barns and sheds for
ouses. Here only a limited number
Il chickens and fowls are raised and
hey naturally thrive to some extent,
hough with comparatively little care
nd expense. There Is regular feed
bg only to such fowls as use about
he back yards, many fowls not even

WOOD MANUFAC'
TURE

Washington, Feb. 6.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture is interested in
the manufacture of a wood substitute,
according to information obtained
from high source
The new product has been found
after years of study and practical eX-
periments, according to a consular
report, the most recent of which have
given eminently satisfactory results.
The process consists in Transforming
straw into a solid material having
the resistance of oak.
The straw, after being cut into
small pieces, is reduced to a paste by
boiling, to which certain chemicals
are added. When the paste has been
reduced to a homogeneous mass 1t
is put into presses, and planks,
beams, laths, and mouldings of all
sizes are readily made. This new ma
terial can be sawed like natural
wood. As fuel it emits bright
flame and little smoke. 1t is further
stated to be adaptable to the manu-
facture of match stems.
