The poultry business has only recently
risen from the obscurity of merely keep
ing hens" and has taken its rightful place
as properly qualified industry. We are
a few PAGES behind In economies but we
are "comn'.' There is much printed and
said about poultry as a fad. as means
of getting interested in outdoor life and
OF giving one some live interest out side
OF shop; but no practical man or woman
can remain interested for any length of
time in fad that shows no profit. Some
how the chink of the silver is needed to
keep enthusiasm up to the proper level
So the man who Is looking to poultry for
his living and the one who is interested
In 1t merely as fad are both asking the
same question: Will 1t pay?
The answer is simple: Make the eX-
penses less than the income and it will
surely pay.
FEED ECONOMY.
The largest bill of expense on a poultry
farm Is the feed bill Therefore, since
grains of all kinds are cheapest in the fall
and early winter months, the poultry
farmer should plan to have some ready
money available, so that he may buy
much OF his grain at that time of the
year By fall he should have sold off his
surplus cockerels. Gull stock, and old
fowls, and this money should be invested
In grain for the coming season. Such
grains as are raised locally can usually
be bought much cheaper direct from the
producer In our eastern and northern
States. buckwheat. wheat and oats can
frequently be bought az home markets;
the corn, however. should be purchased
to store 1t where there is a circulation of
air. Until 1t is thoroughly dried out It
should be cracked only as needed, for
era cked corn will heat and become musty
when stored in large quantities.
There will be less waste in ground feeds
If they are mixed as soon as bought. and
| stored in grain boxes or barrels, for there
is considerable waste in constantly dip
ping feed out of bags. If one has suffi-
cient storage room this ground mixed
feed can be bought in the early winter
at an appreciable saving on ton or even
half-ton quantities
If this feed Is fed dry the hoppers must
be so constructed that the fowls will not
waste the grain. If wall hoppers are used
drive long nails through the dish of the
hopper about five inches apart, which
will prevent the fowls throwing the grain
/ out.
Another great waste of feed is in indis-
criminate feeding. Chemists have ana
| lived grains and have ascertained the
properties of an egg If one wishes a hen
to lay. she must be fed grains containing
the properties needed for egg production.
COMPOSITION OF FEEDS.
No dairyman would feed his milk cows
the same ration he feeds when fattening
cattle yet many poultrymen feed guam
titles of fattening corn to their hens and
then wonder why they do not lay.
| They are wasting their corn as well as

PHILADELPHIANS LOSE
FIGHT ON RAILROADS
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Rules in Favor of Two
Day Limit of Free Storage
BIZ a std1 Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March s0.-The Com
mercial Exchange OF Philadelphia today
lost It's fight against the Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia and Reading and other roads
for more than two days free storage time
on shipments received at Philadelphia
The Interstate Commerce Commission de-
cided that the roads rule limiting free
storage time to two days was justified
and not discriminatory.
However, In deciding this case the Com
mission gave one point of the victory to
the Commercial Exchange by requiring
the carriers to amend their storage rules
to provide for additional free storage time
when cars destined to any one consignee
are punched, through whatever cause. and
are delivered in accumulated numbers in
excess Of daily shipments
The fight against a limit of two days
free storage time began in November.
1914, Immediately after the carriers
amended their rules by changing the free
time from four to two days.
Tho Baltimore Chamber of Commerce
Joined the Philadelphia Exchange In its
fight against the rule. and In deciding the
cases today the commission made the
same ruling to apply at Baltimore as at
Philadelphia.
IN its decision the Interstate Commerce
Commission held that storage regulations
are lO prevent COHBtS-
ton of carriers terminal facilities, and
that public interests require that freight
should be removed promptly from the car
riers' terminals.
Many conslgnees took advantage Of the
four days free period previously allowed
at Philadelphia and unnecessarily allowed
their freight to remain in the freight sta
tions for the full period. Great conges-
tion resulted, which rendered 1t difficult
for "a conslgnee who desired 20 remove his
freight promptly to get II.
Defendants asserted that the two-day
period has eliminated such congestion and,
coupled with the increased capacity of the
freight houses. has improved conditions to
the satisfaction of shippers and teamsters
patronizing the freight stations. Formerly
from per cent. to 20 per cent of the
less-than-carload shipments received at
the various freight stations remained there
until the third day of the four-day free
period allowed. Substantially all such
freight Is now removed within the two
day period without any material increase
in the amount finally stored over that
stored when the four-day rule was in
effect.

STEWARDS TO PART;
DIVORCE SUIT DROPPED
New York Broker Agrees to
Halt Action Against Wife,
Former Philadelphia

The divorce suit In Jersey City against
Mrs. Ethel A. +. Stewart, formerly a
Philadelphia girl. has been dropped by
her husband. John A. Stewart, Sd, New
York broker. and articles of separation
have been signed. Mrs. Stewart is a
daughter OF Francis P. Abercrombie. OF
Chestnut Hill.
One OF the principal reasons for sub
stituting the separation for the divorce
was the wish to avoid the publicity which
a trial would have brought. Both sides
felt alike in this respect
Just what allowance was granted Mrs
Stewart in the separation agreement is
not known, but she will receive the amount
demanded. The custody of their child. a
2-year-old girl, was given to Mr.. Stewards
mother.
When the Stewards lived together they
made their home In Short Hills. N. J. They
were married at Bay Head. N. j.. Sep
tember l2. 1907. A year previous to that
Mrs. Stewart had obtained divorce from
Robert @. Fell. Of this city, whom she
married In 1900.

WILSON STRIPS COPS
OF BRADS AND TITLES
Police Force Too Much Like
South American Army,
Director Rules

The gold braid must go. There are too
many officers and too few privates in the
city police force. The force is getting to
look like a South American army, in
which lieutenant generals are abundant
and common soldiers few. Such was the
spirit Of an order that went out from Di-
rector of Public Safety Wilson'S office
today.
There are a lot of sergeants who are
acting lleutenants, for instance. They
are wearing lieutenants' uniforms. They
must go back to sergeants' clothes. After
today no acting of any kind can wear
anything but the uniform of his own
rank.
There are clerks in City Hall who go
about with gold braid incrusted all over
their attire II must be peeled off. Some
Of them wear stripes like officers. The
stripes must go 4; they confuse visitors and
they confuse city employees, too.
Then there are imaginary titles, two or
three Of them. the holders of which wear
gold braid-they dress up like majors.
The imaginary titles were abolished today
Director Wilson would not say what
they were, as he did not want to give
away the imaginative titleholders. II was
learned that there were men working In
van stables who dressed as lieutenants.
And there are host OF unearned badges
which will be weeded out as rapidly as
they are found.
