= A CHANcy roR Coon INyEsrvgNr-Why does not
.ome enterpr-ng person 20 into the egg business The
Non,olk Day BOOK makes this enquiry aud adds We
propose that any person who desires 10 realize hand
some competency shall provide himself with from one %
five thousand hens and proipcs ks article. There is
constant demand tor about five thousand dozen per week
this market which, of course hye thousand hens how
Industrious, could supply but they, with lit
ole management might be induced % supply One-htth
say one thousand dozen; but will make still
certain calculation and that each hen produced three
eggs per week and would find that thousand hens
would produce three thousand eggs per week. These
eggs the lowest calculation, because they would be
known be fresh would produce fifteen cents per doz
en- or thirty dollars and fifty cents per week. Fifteen
dollars per week with veTs little management would be
more than sufficient tttA thousand hens; and thus,
there would Doe weekly excess and above the
of feeding them OF twenty-five dollars aud fifty cents
Tli, one thousand hens Guild hundred dollars
or not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars and would
require the attention Of only person, who could feed
the hens gather and pack the eggs and with the asss
lance OF good dog, guard the premises. This is really
OF the best chances for speculation and the Surest
way OF making good hyiug ON small Investment We
know Of In this case the investment is sure since if
the hens had 20 De Sold thew would realize profit Of
twenty per the cost iu market, they
be purchased u the interior for twenty piece and
would sell for Twenty-Five and most likely thirty seven
l cents piece.
By way OF making the matter plain furnish the FOL-
Rent. 500 90
Salary of one man, 600 90
Cost Of feeding LOCO hens $50 90
/ ln per cent on cost Of 1000 hens so 90
$3.50 90
Cr
By $4,000 dozen eggs at loo, $3.50 90
which leaves an excess over and above al expenses Of
three hundred and forty dollars being the difference be-
the cost OF producing the article and the price it
would bring after 10 was produced
lt will be- observed that there is no calculation made
for the large number Of chickens which might be raised
without conflicting with the above calculation since it
wi be noticed that the above calculations based up
on the slppositou tina, the hens would only lay oneha
Of their time. Our impression is that with proper
care the profits might be augmented fully five hundred
dollars by the raising Of chickens.
