THERE is no econ¬ omy in buying food simply because it is cheap. Mere cheapness without getting the pro¬ per food value is extrav¬ agant.
^Economy is in buying food high in nutriment and low in cost. QSuch a food is milk. flTry our perfectly pas¬ turized milk and enjoy the benefits of safety and quality.

(Contjued from page 1) and is more often found among flocks ' kept on limited quarters, such as a town lot, it is not by any means un¬ known among farm flocks.
Many people who make a success on the start witb a few fowls very quick¬ ly get into trouble for which the ground is responsible when they in¬ crease tbeir flock and do not take pre¬ cautions to prevent tbe ground from being tainted from tbe droppings. Poultry benefits by crop rotation Just as mucb as any other farm crop If it is made a feature in the rotation. The best way to keep the grotmd in good condition tor poultry is to grow crops on it as well as poultry. If tbe land has already become unfit for raising polutry on, it will be best to give up tiiis line of business for a time. The free use of lime and the growing ol crops, with tbe necessary turning of the ground, are the best ways to freshen tbe ground and get it back into Bucb a condition that it will be profitable to grow chickens on."
We are glad to quote tbe above as expert opinion and authority on thie question. We are still more pleased to say that every recommendation sug gested in this article has been carried out by the managers of tbe Fteeport Poultry Farms.
As intimated, the farm Is divided into a number of enclosures. These have been plowed, cultivated and seeded to oats. Of course this sow¬ ing has been at different times so there might be rotation. Few people have any idea bow much green stuff a laying hen will sonsume if she has access to forage suited to her taste. This was illustrated. Wishing to se¬ cure a photograph of one of the flocks, Mr. Miller opened the gates admit¬ ting the fowls of one enclosure to the lane which led to another, where It was desired to make the picture. Mr. Miller stood toward one end scatter¬ ing grain, and the photographer sup¬ posed the fowls would flock to his call and cluster about him for tbe pic¬ ture and incidentally for the food. At the opposite end was a flne growth of oats, three or four inches in height The hens gave no heed to call or grain, but went after the growing oats like a drove of hungry cattle.
The best grain feed, and the kind uaed here, is a mixture of uats, wheat, cracked peas, rice and corn. This is not ground fine, but cracked in small particles and seems to greatly please the fowls as a steady bill of fare. This grain supply was carefully ex¬ amined and found to be clean and sweet, each grain being wbat the name indicates. Bran mash is used to quite an e.xtent as a general cor¬ rective. Short or chopped alfalfa is used in quantities, and when scatter¬ ed on the ground of the nesting or roosting houses, forms a flne carpet can be readily removed. In every pen green cabbages or some other vege¬ table was suspended by wire at a suf¬ ficient height so that the fowls must do a little acrobatic exercise In order to get this dessert. And this they seemed quite willing to do. The breeding pens are lined witb nest boxes. The nests are about flfteen Inchea square, fllled with hay, furn¬ ished with a white china egg, three nests to the box. Of course they are raised several Inches from the ground, and a little fiight of steps leads up 10 the rear of the boxes.
So, when a hen desires to add from 4 to 10 cents to the wealth of this country, she sedately climbs the lit¬ tle flight of steps, and, in the utmost secrecy she imagines, enters the place set aside for her own especial use and cackles joyously when the result is attained. These houses arei..,supplied with automatic water and fee^ trough, BO the hen finds every convenience at hand.
The breeds found most desirable from every point of view, are the S. C. Leghorns, pure Rhode Island Reds, and Barred Plymuoth Rocks. A few standard breeds are considered much better than a large number of mongrel types. And tbe ones mentioned are closely adhered to. Two fine, gamey Leghorns cockerels were pointed out as birds that took the flrst and seo- ond prizes at Mineola Fair last year. And tbey certainly looked worthy of tbe honor.
The large hennery shown In the cut is 60 by 32 feet; is capable of accomo¬ dating about 1,200 hen guests. The roosts are seen on the ride side, the' nesting boxes on the left. Mr. Miller, ' the courteous manager, showed us the Incubators last. It seemed for a mo¬ ment that these should have been first. But can there be ai^y first to a circle? And which came flrst, then hen or the egg? So perhaps he was perfectly right Down a cellar 8 feet deep, were the fiive Incubators. They are from the Cypher's Incubator Co., of Buffalo, N. T. Each on has a capa¬ city of 400 eggs, or the five of 2,000 at a "setting." The tteperature haa to be kept at a very even rate, during the twenty-one days.

or Jar. Tbe incubators are set at work in January wben it Is possible to secure a large percentage of fertile eggs, and wben tb<f cbicka are one day old they are Uken up stairs to stay a week or ten days in the Indoor brooders. Tbese are heated to a temperature of about 75 degrees day and night, carefully arranged lamps are used for tbis purpose and tbey are closely looked after. At tbe end of the period named, tbe brood is re¬ moved to the out-door brooders. These are carefully warmed If conditions re¬ quire it and the chickens begin to grow at a rate that would surprise one who has never raised this interest¬ ing stock.
Mr. Stanley Miller, tbe manager bas made a careful study of tbe whole science of incubation and chicken raising, and he says the conditions at tills place can scarcely be surpassed for producing perfect stock and eggs.
Every one connected with the place asked the Post to extend a general in¬ vitation to the public to call at tbe farms and inspect the whole plant for themselves. Every one Is wel¬ come and all desired information will most cheerfully be given. The firm desires steady customers and they vriW make prices that will prevail the year round, and cutomers will postlve- ly be assured of flrst class products and at reasonable prices.
The property sold was for taxes unpaid Ui 1908 and 1909 and over f40,000 was collected.
Mucb of the property was bought in by tbe oCunty and can be redeemed upon payment of eight per cent, which covers tbe cost of advertising and sale. The property which was bought by in¬ dividuals can be recovered in one year upon payment of ten per cent.
