Few have any idea Of the extent Of
this industry. A person present az this
show, and man who is well posted on
suca matters, made the following state
mcnt for publication
There are 2l000 first class hotels in
the United States. They consume an
nualiy lG0000000 lbs Of poultry aud
$4,000 900 eggs. costing S64 100000.
los hojei5 in New York consume las
part vi this, or 100000 lbs OF you try
and 2O.Ou0000 eggs The same hotels
consume 10000 head of cattle Reckon
ing the poultry at 80 cents per pound.
which Is less than It will average, ne
year through, the cost Of poultry Is great
er than tina, OF beef Add to these h,-
ures the consumption Of poultry and eggs
at saloons and private families and that
Of eggs for mechanical purposes, and o
faint idea OF the extent Of this busircss
may be obtained.
Wednesday evening we saw a hen doe
torcd Tor a cold in the head by Judge
Felch First ne blew her nose, and then
poured drop Of Kerosene into each las-
trii, that -he might sleep with an aroma
surrounding her Next day she was
smiling biddy. Persons should not Use
this oil too freely for such purposes, as it
will then remove the cu,icle II hens have
cuticio; if not, the skin.
j. \ DAVIS Of North Paris was present.
as agent Of the Poultry World. Tic had
a large assortment Of poultry chromos and
specimens Of that periodical.
