Poultry Prices Not Low
As Other Farm Products

Every survey Of the farming in
dustIy made during the past year
has shown poultry 10 be one of the
outstanding, profitable farm prod
uc-s.
1t is true poultry prices and egg
prices are reduced, but recent sur
vey shows poultry prices declined
only SO, and eggs 16ao in 1881.
On the other hand, the decline in
other farm products has been as
high as 52Gs for wheat, while corn
declined 1870 and oats dropped
44e6. The average decline for all
farm products, including hogs,
lamb, cattle, etc, was shown to be
$40.
1t is well known fact. that with
hogs selling at from Sc to &c a
pound, they have been losing money
for the farmer. Even with 40c corn
the farmers were unable to make
money on their hacs, this past year.
The conditions in the dairy in
dustry for instance, are we'll known,
with milk wars and Improbable
prices in many sections. In some
sections farmers were being paid as
little ais soc to ST for milk, OF the
equivalent Of $15 10 $50 a ton.
Last year the prediction was free
" made that poultry meat prices
would be higher III the fail, bring
ing four times rs much as pork.
This has more than come true, as
poultry brought from five to six
times as much as pork throughout
the year.
With a reduction in poultry pro-
duction last year, and an outlook
for further reduction this year, it is
more than probable poultry will
maintain an average sale price OF
four 10 five times as much as pork
Owing to the fact poultry raisers
and farmers have their building
breeders, and in many instances
their feed, it is advisable that they
continue to produce poultry in nor
NAL amounts as in forn II years,
rather than reduce the foeks rs was
done last year, owing to uniayor-
able conditions.
The farmer who maintained his
20 k last year, found his poultry q
good source Of ready cash income
end d profitable crop, when other
prices ana costs of raising poultry
Were considered.
The outlook is hat this will be
IN ecu lily favorable year for poul-
try prices, and those who maintain
III i o"Gs will reap the benefit.

We are informed that the home
of the Kennison girls who married
William and Fred Carnes, was land
now owned by e. R. Oglevee. The
old house has been torn down sew
eral years. J. 2. Carnes lived there
in the memory of the writer We be-
lieve Oliver Anderson and family
were the last to occupy the house,
we are hoping someone viii tell us
more of the Isaiah Kennison family
G. p. Roberts tells us Fred
Carnes lived with Jesse Ryan, on
the farm now owned by VIM.
Yauger. The house stood in the
present orchard of Mr.. Yauger.
To many of our readers this farm
will be better known as the Web
Lawrence farm. Mr.. Roberts said
they knew Fred as Alfred or "Alf"
Carnes.
Somewhere in the records Of Nor
gan, there is a report Of the county
coroner Of many years ago. This is
the story as we remember it: NJ.
Ryan and Fred Carnes, then boy,
we're making posts or rails in a hol-
low back Of the house, when Fred
found the foot of a baby. When
he called Mr.. Ryan's attention to it,
Mr. Ryan knowing the excitement i
would cause, told him it was y
coon's foot, but Fred knew better
and insisted he was right Then
Mr. Ryan called the coroner and
an inquest was held, but nothing
was done. AS we remember, Jesse
Ryan was a brother Of Mrs Jas.
Murray who was the mother Of on"
old friend Jas. Murray, of MeCon-
nelsville. Perhaps we should have
told you the coroner's inquest dis
closed nothing.

church purposes, he no doubt could have had
it for the asking.
Whatever his object or reasons were for plac
ing the college building on the heights of
Georgetown it can truthfully be said that
Bishop Carroll showed wonderful Judgment and
forethought in selecting the present site, for
there is none more attractive around Washing
ton Here from the extreme south end of the
grounds, the eye can see up the picturesque,
winding Potomac and also for miles down the
river, and undoubtedly the view from some of
the upper windows of the university buildings
must be unsurpassingly beautiful Indeed, if
this can be said of its charm today, how much
more beautiful must it have been in the infant
days of the Republic, when Georgetown was a
mere village and the District of Columbia yet
to be born.
Game along the Potomac River was then
plentiful, and even down to 1886 we find wild
turkeys flying over this part of Georgetown in
the direction of the Chain Bridge. 1t is re-
corded: "a man who happened to be on the
bridge at the time with his gun was fortunate
enough to shoot nine, which he afterward sold
for $1.25 each"
