The POULTRY BUSINESS.
Begin on Small Scale and Work Your
Way Up.

Begin on Small Scale and Work Your
Way Up.
Statements often appear in poultry
papers and others that hens can be made
to pay 81 year, and that one-half that
amount will readily cover the cost of
keeping year. leaving the other half
for profit. Upon this basis it is easy to
figure 100 hens will pay $50 as profit and
1000 hens S500--a fine living for a small
family. The hens can be purchased by
watching the market at not over 20
cents apiece or an Investment of 900.
Then, counting the houses and the feed
at $500, it is easy to see very large
profit in the business; and the beauty of
it is that there is no delay. The income
commences Immediately after the hens
are bought. That this much is realized
in many cases there is no doubt; but
that every one can do this, or even half
as well, is not true, as many have ascer-
tanned by practical experience.
1t is said that experience is dear
teacher, and it is certainly very true in
the poultry business. Those who make
the business success, in very large
majority of cases commence on small
scale, and increase as their experience
and business warrant. 1t seems a
small matter to feed and water lot of
hens and gather up the eggs, and it is
this that induces so many to make the
attempt only to find that there are
many details that, while they do not
seem important, yet if neglected will
make considerable difference in the
profits. In fact, it is the attention given
to these details that assures success.
In making start in the poultry bust
ness begin on small scale. Get a good
breed, suitable to the purpose for which
they are wanted. In a majority of
cases one of the general purpose breeds
will prove the most satisfactory.
Build a cheap house large enough to
accommodate forty or fifty hens, and
by the time you have kept that number
for awhile you can tell pretty well
whether you care to invest more large
ly. If the results are satisfactory, and
you want to raise poultry for market
rather than eggs, get an incubator.
Fowls of all kinds must be fed and
cared for regularly. They need va
riety of food, pure water, clean quar-
tiers, and such conditions as are neces-
sary to maintain good health. AS long
as the fowls can be kept healthy it is
comparatively easy to make them
profitable; hence good care must be
taken to secure this condition as fully
as possible What others have done
and are doing can be done again, but as
with many other things more or less
experience is necessary, and this can be
gained at less expense with small
number of fowls than with large
| number.-St Louis Republic.

1t was cold morning and the rooms
OF one of the prominent business insti-
buttons in Utica were not as comforta-
bly, warm as some of the workmen
thought they should be. Complaint
was thereupon made to the manager,
who ventured the assertion that the
feeling of 'chillness" of which the
workmen complained was a visionary
one, brought about by their magma
ton. To prove this theory he visited
each of the thermometers, and unob-
served by the workmen, sent the mer-
curry up by breathing on the bulbs.
Then he called attention to the fact
that the thermometer indicated that
the rooms were very warm. The men
seemed satisfied and were very indus
trious with their work until one of
them detected the manager blowing
up" the thermometer, and the grand
strike that followed indicated that the

There is well-developed rumor in local
railroad circles. the Macon Telegraph says,
to the effect that some changes not yet an
nounced in circulars may occur on the Con-
trail before long. For instance, it Is said
that H. r. Dill, late superintendent OF the
main stem at Macon. may be promoted to a
far more important position on the road
than the one he now occupies. Mr.. Dill is
known to be frst-claSs railroad man.
popular with the patrons as well as the
employees of the Central. He is also be-
lieved to ''stand in" to largo degree. with
the highest officials of the Richmond aud
Danville. 1t is stated, in fact, that Nh.
Dill may be made superintendent of one of
the Richmond and Danville's great divis-
ions, at date not far distant. 1t is also
rumored that j. J. Kress, at present located
as dispatcher on the Chattanooga, Rome
and Columbus division at Cedartown, may
be given something good.

The National Transportation Association,
| composed OF the various boards of trade and
commercial bodies of the United States, has
completed two days session at Chicago.
The association was organized last winter
for the purpose of protecting the shipping
interests of the country against railroad
corporations and of securing better rates
and transportation facilities. Seventeen
commercial exchanges and freight bureaus
was on uniform bills of lading, about which
there was such bitter fight between the
shippers aud the railroads last year, when
the latter were defeated in their efforts to
force upon the merchants an irOnclad. non
negotiable instrument The shippers insist
upon having a voice in the construction of
q bill OF lading designed for general use
and they have recently agreed upon form
that does not conflict with their interests
How best to bring about the adoption of
this form by TIE railroads was one of the
chief questions under consideration. 1t was
finally decided to appoint committee to
lay the matter before the various traffic
associations, Ia the hope that an amicable
agreement may be reached.
