WILL INSTALL LIGHTING
SYSTEM ON AVOCA
By Using The Power Furnished BY
Gas Well Recently Found

With the object of ascertainine
the details connected with the sue
cessful Harvesting Of a natural gas
well to an ordinary gas engine, Mr..
Harry Picou, mechanician of Avoca,
made trip to Houma last week,
where Mr.. Wilson Guidry, brother
of Mr.. Serville Guidry, store mana
ger at Fairview, owns a well,
brought in during 1914, and sue
cessfully operated since that time,
Using this information as basis for
work, Mr.. Picou has connected the
Avoca we'll with IL horse power
Fairbanks Morse engine, and the re-
suit is entirely satisfactory.
Asked what he thought of the
Avoca well, Mr.. Picou said: "judg-
ing by what Mr.. Guidry of Houma
has done, we will be able to operate
every engine On Avoca with gas dir
ect from this we'll, in addition to
supplying gas for lights or heating
purposes. Mr.. Guidry has worked
wonders with his we'll"
Continuing Mr.. Picou said: "Our
well at Avoca can easily run ~
such engines as are connected with
it, while a reserve tank will enable
US to operate a number Of machines.
Mr.. Guidry has gas run into every
house owned by him, while his
laborers both cook and heat their
dwelling with gas. The Houma we'll
is lis feet deep, while our well at
Avoca is 1872 feet in depth. Mr..
Guidry has a pressure of 40 lbs,
while our pressure is as lbs.
''Of course" said Mr.. Picou, 81
am not an expert on gas, but from
general results obtained our gas
may be somewhat superior to the
Houma well. Our gas has not been
put to the extreme test, but an ex-
pert from a natural gas field in
forms me that we have a product
Of genuine value"
Mr.. Picou was in charge of the
operations digging the Avoca well,
and has instructions to proceed
with the sinking of another, using
the power of the first to bore the
second and possibly the third.
It is understood that Mr.. E. A.
Pharr may use this well in produc-
ing a lighting system for the Plan
tation, utilizing the power to run
dynamos, which would furnish
complete system for considerable
area with merely the outlay for
equipment. The well is being watch.

HATCH CHICKENS NOW

The poultryman makes his great
est profit from the chickens which
are Matched before May l. The
early Matched cockerels are sold as
broilers when the brciler market is
at its best. The flood of late hatch
ed broilers brings prices down and
congest the market. The greater re-
turns received from early Matched
broilers 60 far toward defraying the
cost of raising the pullets. These
in turn begin laying when eggs are
bringing the highest prices and when
there is the greatest shortage Of
strictly fresh eggs.
Still more important, carly hatch
ed chickens grow more rapidly thai
those Matched late in the season and
are much less likely to become sick.
The late Matched chickens are always
the first to catch cold and spread
disease throughout the flock. Chick
ems Matched late in the year will not
mature before cold weather and u.s.
ually will not lay until well into the
winter, or even toward spring. This
means that they will have to be fed
and carried over for several months
at constant expense, with no re-
turn, and this at time when feed is
at its highest.
The early Matched pullets can be
developed to large extent on range
and a saving in grain feed is possible
in this way.
The highest producing pullets are
those which begin laying early. To
get into the 2O0-egg class a pullet
must lay so or more eggs before
March the 1st. In order to do this,
pullets must be Matched before May
!, 20 that they win begin laying by
the first Of November. In the Sec
ton Of the country north of the
Ohio River it is advisable to begin
Matching not later than March I and
to continue Matching at intervals
through March and April, 50 that
pallets Of different ages will be COM
ing on, and the broilers will not all
Be ready for market at the same
time.
The American breeds plymouth
Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island
Reds, etc., should be Matched earlier
than the Mediterranean breeds, such
q the Leghorns Minorcas, etc., be-
cause they take about one month
longer to mature. Pullets of the
American breeds will begin laying
at about months Of age, and those
Of the Mediterranean breeds at
about months.
It is often difficult to get enough
broody hens to set the eggs early.
This may be partly overcome by set
ting. the earliest eggs in incubator
and putting those eggs under hens a
few days before they are ready to
hatch. A hen usually can brood
from one and one-half to two times
-. many chickens as she will hatch,
20 that additional chickens Matched
IA the incubator can also be given
y hens which are Matching eggs at
the same time.
Early Matching viii produce more
sG1s il the fall and w;nssr. while
! large proportion Of hens viii get
broody early in the spring, thus
completing the necessary circle for
early fall egg production.
Z Early Matched chickens are by far
the most profitable in every way.
