TWO OFFICERS ARE
DETAILED TO A. & N.
President BizzelI Has Returned From
a Conference With Military o.
ficials at Washington.

President Bizzell Of A. and NJ. Col
lege returned Tuesday from Washing
ton, where he has been in conference
with the War department officials
concerning the provisions OF the army
bill affecting this institution. In adj
dition to the detail Of Captain Muller,
a native Texan, as commandant Of
cadets and professor Of military sci.
ence and tactics, William II. II. Nor.
ris, first lieutenant OF the Ninth infan-
try, West Point, 1911, has been de-
tailed as supervisor Of drill.
Contrary to previous announcement
no uniforms will be provided by the
government, II having been found re.
Gently that the demands OF the militia
had been too heavy to permit Of this
provision being carried out. This
feature as well as other features OF
the bill will be in force July 1, 1917.
The reserve officers corps will be
organized and at the close of the year
Congress will be asked to refund the
ration allowance OF about IS per
month to all cadets entering this or.
ganization.
President Bizzell expressed himself
as being highly pleased with the two
new officers detailed here. They will

MODERN CHICKEN
RANCH IN CITY
Chicken Faneler Who Started for His
Own Pleasure Finds Himself Own.
Ing Big Chicken Ranch.

Little did Mr.. J. M. Sprekelmyer
think just a few, very few years ago
when he bought a small pen of good
Rhode Island chickens just for the
pleasure Of having them around to
look at, that he would soon be the
owner of the big chicken ranch which
he now has. This gentleman has al
ways fancied pretty chickens and just
about 6 years ago purchased a pen
Of pure bred Rhode Island Reds at a
nominal cost and has been breeding
these fowls up and adding to them
just as they would stand the expense
themselves and now has what you
could term a model chicken ranch.
Mr.. Sprekelmyer has about $50 Of the
pr%ettiest Red chickens a person ever
saw, ranging in age from four weeks
up. In n pen he has about rs young
pullets that are laying their first eggs
this fall and are beauties. In one
breeding pen he has a Cock and IL
hens that are giving him eggs for
Matching and while going through this
place yesterday afternoon he showed
us some Of the eggs and they are the
most perfectly shaped we ever saw.
Mr.. Sprekelmyer has some very fine
young cockerels that he has raised
and will place on the market as soon
as they are through moulting. There
is more than one in the flock that will
bring as much as $500 and he ex-
poets to ship a nice large pen of diff
ferent types to the Cotton Palace at
Waco.
In this ~gentleman's original venture
he only had one small chicken house
in which to house the fowls with his
back lot for a run. He has used the
income from his flock and increased
his buildings to about seven and has
leased about five acres for a run.
The yards are fenced with six foot
chicken wire and all different mated
chickens are kept separate. Mr..
Spreckelmyer has just added another
incubator to his plant and will be
able this fall to produce about 800
chicks every month and he expects
to do a large day old chick business.
He says that last spring he could not
fill his orders for the day-old chicks
at 20 cents each and that he already
has orders for eggs that will take
him considerable time to fill at from
s1.00 to $500 per setting.
The efforts Of Mr.. Sprekelmyer
have been fruitful and is an example
OF what any n could do by just max.
ing an effort. In speaking Of his
plant yesterday afternoon he said:
well when | started I just wanted
the chickens for company and now
while the outfit is worth from $1,000
to $1,000 1t has Just made itself; OF
course | have done all this work
around here in the yards but it was
done at odd times and | am really al
no expense except for material and il
was bought from the sale of the eggs
Mr.. and Mrs. Spreckelmyer have
not spent all their time with theil
chickens either as their beautiful
little home out beyond Allen Acad
envy will show. 1t is one of the be,
, kept places in the city and the con
q, veniences around the place are mani
= and the work was all done by thii
gentleman and his good wife.
