Poultry can be raised successfully
on any well-drained soil. A light loan

adapted for this purpose, while a very
light sandy soil through which the
water teaches freely will stand more
intensive poultry conditions, but most
OF the green feed for the fowls kent
on such a soil will have to be purcbas-
ed.
A heavy clay or adobe soil is not
well adapted to poultry raising, as
such land does not drain readily, and
II IS much more difficult to keep the
stock healthy, poultry specialists on
the Government poultry farm have
found. Long stationary houses, or
the intensive system, saves steps, but

and to reproduce the stock under the
colony system, where the birds are

Farm.

In poultty keeping, as in any other
business, the aim is to keep down ex-
penses. Ii they almost or totally
equal the returns, then, no matter how
productive the flock is, there is little
profit for its owner.
One Of the largest items of expense
which the man or woman raising poul-
try today has is the grain that is fed
the birds. Every kind of cereal is
expensive in comparison with former
days, especially corn and wheat, which
are usually considered the best poul-
try grains. As the quantity of the
grain consumed enters into the cost of
producing eggs quite as we'll as the

Therefore it is important to watch the

Results Of The Experiments.
The general-purpose pullets used in
this experiment ate in a year an aver
age of CT pounds of feed per dozen
eggs produced, and the ycarling gen

From these figures it is seen that

VALUE OF COLLEGE EDUCATION

There was never a time when expert
knowledge was so highly priced and so high
ly compensated.
High wages for unframed labor will
tempt many young man to discount the
value of a college education. But such an
education, representing the work of four
years, viewed merely as an investment of
time and Of money, is equal in earning ca
paclty to an estate of more than O,0O0
What estate comparable with this can
the parent of average means hope to give or
leave to his son? What young man can ac-
quire that much value in the same time at
any other business?
Education fits one for a life whose pos
sibilities are limited only by his capacity
and character. Eventually for the untrain-
ed there awaits the slavery Of ignorant and
undrected effort
Clemson College brings within the
reach of every young man in South Caro-
lima the benefits and possibilities of tech
nlcal education. At Clemson College bow
from the humblest home in South Carolina
can prepare himself for high place in the
service of his state and nation.

WASHINGTON April 13.-Private
advices received here picture the sit

that had been sprung by President
Estra Cabrera on his enemies, rather
than rebel victory. 1t was explained
that the failure of the president to
use the army to prevent the entry of
the rebels into the capital was a
stratagem employed to give him the
upper hand with a minimum of blood
shed.
Strong government forces were sta
toned at La Palma, a suburb, where
Presidene Cabrera is located. and at
other points from where operations
can be directed that will effectually
close all the exits from the city, these
reports said. After the rebels had
flocked into the city, Cabrera was
said to have announced to them that
the capital would remain under siege
until the insurgents sued for terms.
The water supply would be cut off.
food shipments to be stopped and
only women children and other non
combatants would be permitted to
pass the line of siege the message
added, in order to hasten a compare
