Astounding A Figures.

Reliable authorities estimate the value of
the poultry products of the United States for
the year 1886, at the enormous sum of six
hundred millions of dollars. But even this
amount, large as it is, does not represent the
total value of this great industry tor single
wear. In 1876, the United States imported
from foreign countries about five million
dozeu eggs-but in 1885 the quantity had in
creased to over sixteen million dozen. If
these figures are correct, tand there is no
reason TO doubt them) the poultry industry
amounts to more than the wheat crop, the
cotton crop, the hay crop, or the entire
product of all our gold and silver mines We
saw these figures are astounding; probably
not one person in ten thousand is aware that
the poultry industry stands at the head. But
what is it that has lifted the poultry industry
to this surprising eminence2 No doubt the
discovery OF Sheridan's Powder TO make hens
lay, had much to do with il, but not all. The
fact is the women and children are b. ginning
to learn that there is no way by which they
with so little effort, as by keeping and intel
ligpntly caring for hens. |. ). johnson 4
Co, % Custom House Street, Boston, have
published recently n valuable book on this
subject entitled "The Farmers Poultry
Raising Guide" They will send one copy
tor 20 cents, or they will send the book and
two twenty-five cent packs of Sheridan's
Powder for so cents, post paid, and for 81 20

contained in this book is just what is needed
to enable any one to start in the business,
aud to make money.
