Why Some Poultry RaIsers Make Money

Why Some Poultry Raisers Make Money
and Others DO Not.
Twas visiting farm recently where
/ saw !, 900 chickens of all sizes, grades
and lineal descent Anything was a
chicken and so much per pound. /
asked the farmer why he did not raise
thoroughbreds and thus have two
strings to his bow and work up to a
fancier's position? He replied that the
sales for thoroughbreds were SO few
that it would not pay. But" l re-
marked, "there is not bird on your
place that will sell for sl.5o, while nine
out of ten will not sell for one dollar
each Suppose you sell only 10 per
cent of those you raised for $50 per
dozen, the balance, though they were
thoroughbred, would bring you as
much per pound as those you now have.
Would not this item furnish you a
nucleus for bank account? You say,
by hard work, they pay you as you are
now running it" He was silent a few
seconds and finally said: 81 reckon we
are not getting all out of this that we
might" That man is surely at the foot
of the ladder, doing the very largest
amount of labor for dollar.
Poultry culture is a means of con-
verting oHe's labor into cash; he who
labors in the right direction and with
the best breeds secures the highest
price for such labor.
Again we see the poultry raiser who
acknowledges the fact that the product
from crossing thorough breds pays a
larger profit, and he it is who purchases
eggs and stock of the fancier to pro-
duce mis- workers They grow quicker
to a salable size and are better pro-
ducers of eggs, which are his staple
product, and find a daily market the
year round. He disposes of one-haf of
his product for poultry and sells for
breeding and show purposes only those
of the highest merit We see him en-
joying the best of regulations as a
fancier, his pocketbook well filed. and
ever alive to the interest of his calling.

a very amiable, nice kind of person.
She is very fond of her children and
nearly always good-tempered, jolly and
full of life and fun. She is strong and
healthy, has the digestion of an os-
trich, and likes a drive above all
things. In the large cities where there
has been more or less contact with the
occident and loosening of the old
customs in consequence of that, the
oriental woman is not so good nor so
amiable as in the interior. Cities
which bear a very bad reputation in
that respect among Moslems all over
the east are Constantinople, Cairo,
Alexandria, Smyrna and Tifis. The
intrigues which the wives and favor
ties of wealthy and high-placed Turks
permit themselves during their excur-
sions to the great pleasure resorts-the
Sweet Waters near Stamboul-have
become proverbial, and Smyrna is
cited among them as veritable hot
bed of vice. In Cairo morals among
the Moslem wives have SO much
sunk under par that the case of Nazli
Hanum, wife of a great pasha there,
who is said to have murdered $50 dis
carded admirers-mostly handsome
Greeks or other "Ferenghi"-in her
house, did not excite great deal of
comment.

SO far as the woman of the east is con-

the "eternal womanly" which attracts,

pointing out some of these differences

other kind of order in so doing, as I'll

4 HAREM BEAUTY.

boul even. within a stones throw of
Yildiz kiosk the sultan's favorite pal
ace), and on another occasion perhaps
may tell of visit paid one of the
principal ones early in 1886. The
young female slaves kept for sale and
barter there are of three kinds: Nubi-
an Ii. e., black skinned and intended
for harem service), Syrian and Circas-
sian.
The latter, as the handsomest, fairest
and by far the most accomplished and
intelligent, command the highest
prices, and fabulous sums are now and
then paid for them. The gifted son of
Khalil Pasha once paid 5000 Turkish
pounds, about $4,000. for one such
beauty. Many of the fairest inmates
of the harems, though, not alone in
Turkey and Persia, but also in Egypt,
In Afghanistan, ETC., are gifts made by
fathers or mothers to the rulers and
governors of those countries. None of
the many wives of the sultan or of the
shah were purchased outright. In
Persia there is the peculiar institution
of seeghay. That means temporary
wife-i. e., a wife with whom the mar
rage contract has been stipulated for
only certain specified time-perhaps
for three months, perhaps for five
years. She enjoys all the rights and
privileges of legitimate spouse dur
ing that time, and children born to her
are entitled to heritage as well At
the expiration of the contract the lat
ter may be renewed for another term,
or else the two separate, and either
may remarry.
This custom, one peculiar to Persia
(where the form of the prevailing Mo-
hammedan faith is the Sheeite, and diff
fers materially from the Turkish and
Arabian, the Sunnite), has its incon-
veniences and drawbacks, no doubt, but
consequence of it Is that throughout
Persia there are no women leading dis
solute and depraved lives. But the in
stitution of seeghay is also responsible
for an enormous amount of litigation
there, claimants to honors and large
fortunes constantly arising under the
pretense of being the sons of seeghays
of the particular grandee whose in
heritance is to be disposed of. The
grandfather of the present shah, whose
popular nickname, Adam-es-Sani( adam
II. }, was due to the enormous number
of progeny he left. was responsible
for numerous rebeliions and uprisings
induced by young and ambitious men
sons of some Of his innumerable
seeghays-who appeared as pretenders
to the throne after the old mans de-
mise.
While, however, it cannot be denied
that women are still bought and sold
like cattle in the orient, it cannot
truthfully be maintained that they are
inhumanly or cruelty treated. Quite
