himself and freely discussed his plans
and gave information when called
upon.
The company expects to secure
good quarters at low rent, satisfac-
tory power rate, water as cheap as |
possible and exemption from taxes
for five years. All OF these things
were promised and the visitors APP
peared much pleased with their re-
ception and With the live meeting
they found themselves part of.

What To DO When

Pennsylvania Mother Advises Use
of External" Treatment
-vapoRub.

What TO do when baby has the Group
n a serious matter In every home. In
the South the universal treatment Is
q good rub over the throat and chest
with Vick's VapoRub Salve. The body
warmth releases the ingredients in the
form of vapors that, inhaled with each
breath, quickly relieve the breathing.
In addition, vick's is absorbed through
and stimulates the skin, relaxing the
nervous tension and taking away the

SUCCESS OR FAILURE
DEPENDS ON START
Proper Choice of Foundation Stock
Vital to Beginners in Poul-
try Raising.
False Economy Sure to Be Expensive
in Long Run, Is Judgment
of Experts.

L want to raise few chickens this
summer. to supply broilers and frying
ch1ckens for the use of my own family,
ana to keep few hens as layers for
next winter What kind of stock should
buy? Is 1t better to buy eggs or baby
chicks? What breed is best for gen.
eral purposes and when the range is
restricted? Does it pay to buy high
priced eggs or chicks, or is 1t not just
as well to purchase what chickens I
shall need al the market"
The questions above are fair samples
or tnose that come to the poultry ed
Itor every spring. This year. probably
because of the high cost of living in
general and the altitudinouS prices of
eggs ana table poultry that have ruled
Tor almost a veal the inquiries are
even more numerous than in former
years. The said h. C. of L. is affecting
everybody, from professional men of
hxed and large incomes down to the
poorest paid government employe. Also,
there are few who do not like fresh
eggs, fried chicken or poultry prepared
IN any of the innumerable styles in
which 1t appears on American tables.
Practcaily prohibitive prices of eggs
ana dressed or live poultry when
bought in market have banished both
ailke from majority of ia bies, and for
that reason. probably. many families
are planning to provide these articles
from their own poultry wards
Evening star., 1917-04-15
Much Literature Available,

The poultry experts and investigators
of the Department of Agriculture, as
well as those of the various state col
leges. agricultural colleges. etc, have
devoted their time and their intelli-
gently directed effort for years to
study of the best methods of handling
poultry for profit, either on the small
place or the large commercial plant. 4
voluminous literature has been pub
lished containing the results of these
experiments and Investigations. and
this literature is available for the be-
ginner on a small scale, the novice
who wishes to start more ambitiously,
or the man who has been in the busi-
ness for years, but still finds that he
does not know it all. The best advice
that can be given the average begin
ner is to obtain copies of the bulle-
tins issued by the Department of Agri-
culture on the topics upon which he
wishes information. to study these pub
lications. and then to follow the advice
and avail himself of the information
contained in them. In this manner,
while success cannot be assured pos
sibiiity of failure is at least reduced
to minimum.
