Is Chicken Raising a Snap?
The an.sw.-r to the above inquiry depends eiitirelx upon who
answers. II you ask the thrifty wide-awake i'aruier or poultry
raiser the on * who has time to do things right,
ami wlfo believes in doing them right—you will
hear that it is a snap. You will find that with
good stock well selected and well yarded, and
well ted at proper intervals, on good wholesome
feed, and with everything kept scrupulously
••lean, the owner will tell you that poultry keep
ing i> a pleasure and a satisfaction; that he
wmdd rather look after his slock of poultry,
xvatch the development of the young stock,
gather the dozens of clean uniform eggs from
laying hens than do any of the other things
he has to attend to.
It' you ask the farmer's wife, who takes an
interest in looking after the chickens, who
keeps a nice looking Hock of White Wyandottes
or White Plymouth Rocks, who lias a few select
customers to whom she sells her surplus eggs al
good prices, who does not depend upon her hus-
band or the hired man to water and feed for her—if you ask her
about this chicken business, she will tell you it is al) right.
On the other hand, if you
should happen to stumble upon
the shiftless farmer or the over
worked wife at the farm house
where th<* chickens arc found
roosting all over the back porch,
in the wood shed, in the horse
sheds, ready to have the dog set
ipou them and their tail feathers
dl pulled out. neck feathers
ideved off and cuffed about in a
general way, such persons will
ell you that keeping chickens is
anything but a snap.
They will tell you that the chickens
ire everlastingly under, foot and in the
oad; they eat more of the horses’ feed

than their necks are worth; that they
always have something the matter with
them about the time you expect them
to lay; they git their feet anil combs
frozen In tin winter, and the lice and
the cholera get away with them in
the summer time; they scratch up the I
garden stuff in the spring, and eat what |
happens to grow in the fall—on the
whole, they are a general nuisance
about the farm, and it would be much
better off without them.
This is the answer you get from the
shiftless, croaking farmer who drives
the lame mule or horse to town. You

FIRE ON HITS
WASHINGTON,CI.
Second Disastrous Blaze With
in Month Destroys Opera
House—Loss $30,000.
WASHINGTON. GA., Dec. 24.
Washington was visited by the second
disastrous fire within a month's time
when Lyndon’s opera house was com
pletely destroyed last night. Falling’
rear walls of the three-story opera
house crushed two one-story brick
buildings occupied by The Washington
Gazette-Chronicle and Washington ga
rage. The loss is estimated at $30,000,
with only SIO,OOO insurance.
The lire, was discovered on the third
floor of the opera house building and
was of uncertain origin. The room in
which flames were first seen was un
occupied. However, it was reported to
Dr. G. E. Lyndon, the owner, that
Christmas gamblers had been seen in
the room in the afternoon. The suppo
sition is that cigarette stumps started
the blaze.
Booker & Jackson lost their stock of
merchandise, valued at $12,000, with
$7,000 insurance. Dr. Lyndon, who was
interested Ln the garage and newspaper
property, lost about $15,000, with about
$3,000 insurance. Insurance companies
hit by last night’s fire are Georgia
Home, Continental, Norwich Union,
Aetna, Liverpool and London and
Globe.
It has been hardly a month since St.
Josephs academy was burned here.

1,000 GRAIN SHIPPERS
LOSE SUITS AGAINST
DISCRIMINATING LINES
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24. —-An impor
tant decision, setting a precedent for
about 1,000 claims for a total repara
tion of $500,000, has just been handed
down by the interstate commerce com
mission. Grain shippers were the losers.
The commission held that under re
cent direction of the supreme court of
the United States it could not award
damages to shippers of grain even if
railroads discriminate against them by
giving elevator allowances to their
competitors.
By decision of the supreme court of
the United States, which the commis
sion followed, it is pointed out that a
railroad for competitive reasons may
grant an elevator allowance, although
no transportation service is rendered
by the shippers owning the elevators.
This is the first case that the Inter
state commerce commission has decided
since the supreme court rendered its
decision.
