Eggs From Iowa.

With the holidays Il sharp advance
in the price OF eggs is noted, and, rs
usual, the thrifty Iowa farmer comes
promptly to the front with supply.
This is well for the thrifty Iowan, well
for the transportation companies, well
for Washington housewives, who
would else be without these necessary
adiuncts to cookery. But what of the
Washington farmer? Surely, it is not
well for him when product so easily
supplied must be brought half way
across the continent in order that the
home market may not be left bare.
Fowls are much more easily cared for
i'll this climate than in u cold one, but
here as elsewhere they must have in
telligcnt care in order that they prove
profitable. 1t is perhaps not SO much
n disinclination to attend to the neccs-
sary details of this industry, with Il
view to making the egg and poultry
business profitable, as lack of Il
knowledge of how to do it that causes
the scarcity in our markets of these
products. The belief that hen can
scratch for a living" is at the bottom
of this annual scarcity of eggs, and of
the poor quality and high price of
chickens at Christmas time. The lore
of this industry is easily learned. A
good breed of fowls (the pure Light
Bramas are recommended as profit
able breed) while not an absolute re-
quisite of success is still advisable /;
clean, wholesome quarters, an abund-
ance and reasonable variety of food,
plenty of fresh water and room enough
to allow the reasonable amount of
scratching" are the chief points in
successful poultry raising. The atten-
ton to details that comes from expert
cnce and interest in the work will do
the rest. Phenomenal fortunes cannot
be made i'll this business, but excellent
returns upon the capital invested, and
the labor required can be safely reck-
oned upon from it in this State, as
long, at least, as Iowa farmers find it
profitable to place eggs on our markets.
The woman who furnishes the poul-
try notes" for the Chicago Prairie
Farmer, cites an instance that came
to her knowledge, wherein a boy of II
who had grown weak from overstudy,
and was ordered by his physician to
take light outdoor exercises, cleared
$500 in year from 100 hens on an
acre of ground and adds:
"There are good many farmers
scattered around over the United
States who might make more profit
from an acre or two of land devoted to
the production of poultry and eggs for
market than they now make from the
whole farm"
The above figures certainly warrant
this assertion, and the annual dearth
of the poultry products in our markets
at u season when the demand is heavy
and prices high, furnish a hint that
some of our farmers might take TO
their profit.
