Market Poultry.

Market poultry experts, says the Poul-
try Monthly, generally agree that the
most profitable way of conducting the
business is to combine egg farming
with broiler raising. In this way
regular income can be maintained the
entire year. But just how the combi-
nation should be conducted all do not
agree.
Some say make egg farming the prime
object, and only hatch broilers when
there is no sale for eggs. We cannot
exactly understand the logic. as there

! Monterey, Tenn. (Special)-One OF
)dr prominent citizens here, Col. James
g. Jones. secretary and treasurer OF the
Cumberland Mountain Coal Co., Is on
the high road to make his fortune, and
attributes the fact to his recent cure
from the tobacco habit. He was an
inveterate user Of tobacco for many
years, consuming so much as to make
serious inroads on both his purse and
his health. One box Of No-To-Bac COM
pletely cured him. and he gained seven
pounds in less than two weeks. Within
three days after starting to use No-To-
BAG the desire for tobacco was entirely
gone. Col. Jones says to all tobacco
users that No-To- BAG will do as recon-
mended and is worth by far more than
Its weight in gold.

Aim in Hen Feeding.

The aim in feeding laying hens, to
induce continued egg production,
should be to furnish as great variety
of food as possible, and when the sea-
son will not permit the hens to secure
plenty of insect food, green-cut raw
bone should be given, as 1t is properly
recognized as the missing link in egg
production in winter. Char a cob OF
corn in the oven occasionally, and let
the flock have it. Crushed oyster shells
or sharp gravel AlOuld always be ac-
cessible to the hens. Water Is a great
essential. All the foods named can be
given to growing chickens, and in addi-
ton cracked corn. Chicks will require
more liberal feeding and Oftener than
fowls, as they are making flesh, muscle,
bone and feathers at the same time,
thus requiring good supply Of varied
and nourishing diet. Wheat screen
ings may supply bulk, but very little
nourishment. The man who depends on
such feed for a flock won't have a flock
very long to feed. Damaged grain of
any kind should never be fed to the
poultry.-Ex.

only. He buys the filled cheese wholly
for his stock, but he won't eat it. and he
gets the cheese for his table here IN

Cost OF Keeping u Dairy.

The following is an extract OF an
article from the Agricultural Student
of the Ohio State University:
The following is a summary of the
receipts and expenditures of the Uni
versity dairy for the year ending Dec.
81, 1894:
Pounds Of milk produced. .16O.534
Receipts for milk. ........... $3,S42.7o
Cost of fond 1876
Cost Of labor. ................ l'oSo.44
Total expenditures. .......... 2,o19.2o
Net gam. A,ooo'oo
There was an average of about TWEEN
ty-six cows actually in milk In the
dairy during the year. AS COWS are
bought and sold, not the same twenty
six cows were in the herd throughout
the year. There are generally, also,
three or four dry cows in the herd.
From the summary it will be seen
that for the number of cows actually
in milk, 6,175 pounds of milk were
given per COW. The cost OF food per
COW was $37.S3, and the cost for labor
was $61.36, making a total expense per
cow in milk nearly 500. The labor.
however, included considerable
amount of experimental work and also
the labor of taking care of dry cows,
heifers, calves and bulls. 1t also in
cludes the cost of retailing the milk.
The cost for feed only relates to the
cows in milk.
Assuming Sc pounds per gallon OF
milk, the cost of food per gallon OF
milk is So cents, the cost Of labor per
gallon of milk, 8.5 cents, while the
| average price received for milk on this
basis was 2O.5 cents. 1t will be seer
that the average cost Of gallon Of
milk retailed to customers was 13.1
cents. The real cost. however, II
somewhat greater than this, because
more than SO pounds are required fol
a gallon of milk when peddled to thu
consumers.
Il 1t is worthy of notice that the worl
was all done by students, for which, !
will be seen, they received $1,595.44
The gross income from each COW &C
tually in milk was $147.S0. the expens
s99. 10, leaving a net income per COW o
$4S.61, or for herd Of twenty-six COW
net gain of $1.3s3.55.

find no money there. AS matter OF
fact. however, not all dairymen make
these complaints, else we might be in
elined to believe that the majority were
right. A New York farmer and dairy
man told me that the net receipts from
his place Of $50 acres did not average
over $3.50 per year. Very true, ana
know of plenty more whose net yearly
receipts do not average nearly that
sum. There are others who have less
to show than their hired help, after the
latter have been paid their monthly
wages. Dairying as a business ID not

the dairymen themselves. The Grass

1t is a grave mistake to feed these or

them. While trimming off the small

need washing before feeding. Like ap'

To our liking. we should say, sell
eggs as long as prices are good and
turn them into broilers when prices
decline. We should sell them SO long
as the retail figure did not get below
twenty cents dozen and begin incu-
baton when that price was reached.
We believe that 1t will pay better to
turn eggs into carcasses than to sell
at less than twenty cents a dozen.
Some writer's claim that to produce
an egg costs one cent. This would make
their cost twelve cents dozen and
anything over that would be clear
profit. They will sell eggs as long as
they can get eighteen cents or over
that. At eighteen cents they have fifty
per cent profit and they are content
with that.
Supposing that dozen eggs cost
twelve cents and out Of that dozen
only four chicks were raised up to a
marketable weight, and the total
cost, including price of eggs. would
be 81 for those four broliers. and they
brought 81 pair, the usual price In
New York market, there would be
even 81 profit. OF course. in some Sec
lions of the country broilers would not
bring 81 q pair, but then generally In
such localities feed is cheaper, which
would eQualize 1t, and besides, we have
given a very low percentage OF hatch
ing and rearing
There Is money in the broiler busi-
ness, but it is a branch that must be
entered carefully, managed diligent-
ly and perfectly understood. II sue
cess is the result. No amateur should
start this branch on a large scale.
He should begin at the very bottom
Of the ladder and climb up. There
is. SO much to know. First, how to
run the incubator SO that 1t will re-
Quire less responsibility and do best
work; second. how to brood the chicks
so that they will not become chilled
and die from bowel trouble; third, how
to feed SO that they will attain the de-
sired weight without being subject tc
leg weakness and other troubles. All
these matters must be carefully stud
led and watched. There is big respon.
sibility and the work requires eternal
vigilance"
Egg farming is the easiest branch t.
follow. Start with that and leave the
broiler department to be an adjunct :.
