PROFIT in POULTRY.
II Invariably Depends upon the Glass
OF stock Which In Kept ON
the Farm.

At average prices 1t requires pro-
duction OF about Ave dozen eggs yenT
TO pay for the keeping Of n hen, II none
of The eggs are hatched. If every hen
could be induced to sit and could be-
made TO hatch and rear eight chicks,
these chicks would sell for enough 10
pay for the feed they consume and that
consumed by the hen for whole year,
leaving whatever eggs she produced
above those Matched for the profit %
keeping her
But. Matching aside, she must pro-
duce five dozen eggs in year before
she yields profit. The average hen OF
America produces something like three
dozen eggs in year, but the average
hen does not get proper care, and prob
ably pays her way, for she lives cheaply,
II will readily be seen that flock
producing ten dozens each year is
much more to he desired than one that
just pays its way. Here Is where the
advantage OF keeping puIe-bred stock
comes in. If pure-brcd male is put
with scrub hens and the pullets from
the cross produce seven dozen eggs a
year there are two dozen eggs to the
credit Of pure blood the first year, and
If only 100 pullets are raised that pure.
bred sire has been worth $40 in cash to
his owner. If this plan is repeated the
chances are that the three-fCurths
blood pullets will add another dozen to
the profit side, and within five years, by
breeding in one direction. the profits
may he made to amount to clear 100
per cent. Of the value of the stock kept.
Besides the increased production Of
eggs there will be corresponding in
crease in size, this adding to the value
of the flock when it is sent to market,
without adding materially. If at all, to
the cost Of keeping, for the pure-bred or
high-grade stock will make more

roof should be covered with inch boards
and over this lay sheet steel roofing;
sliding windows at the rear and front
will provide good ventilation.
The floor of the pen should slope
backwards at least one inch in five feet
and the yard ought to be well drained.
a guard rail should be fixed around
the bottom of the pen, about six inches
above the floor and project about six
inches from the sides, for the purpose
of preventing the young pigs from be-

men possessed in the territory. There
is nothing to prevent n woman from
being governor Of that state. The suc-
cess of the system has been fully dem
onstrated there. Odd as 1t may seem,
the men like 1t.
II Is true that women are still dis

During the last year more than 1000

bounty, Notwithstanding the fact that
she does Mt least m equal share OF the
work involved in the domestic partner
ship, bearing and rearing the children,
acting as housekeeper and household
drudge. This practice OF putting the
woman in the place Of beggar also
prevails in good" society There Is
nothing quite so mean in this world
as stingy husband, and there is no
joke about the olt-quoted query:
what did you do with the % cents |
gave you week before last?'
1t will thus be seen that no matter
what their natural abilities may be,
nor how great and varied their edu-
cational requirements, women are
obliged to begin life at disadvantage,
and to remain ut disadvantage no
matter whether they be in the married
or single state. 1t is all the more to
the credit of the women of the genera
ton just past and of the present gem
Grafton that they have made such prog
resS.
Even now in 3S states women have
not equal rights with men even as to
the guardianship of their own chill
dren. The father has absolute control
ever them and can take them away
from the mother If he chooses to do so.
The father may require his daughter
to go into saloons or other vile places
which are licensed or tolerated to sell
flowers or candies or whatever else a
girl may be able to sell, and has the
power to apprentice the boys to any
kind Of trade that suits his fancy. The
mother has absolutely no voice in the
disposition or employment OF her chill
dren; that is. under the law. Ofcoursc,
women usually make themselves heard
and felt even in the homes Of the most
tyrannical Of men.
That women have made such progress
Is all the more remarkable because they
are Disseminated against as to wages.
No matter how willing they may be or
how well they may work in factories or
in business Offices doing the same kind
Of work as men, and sometimes we'll

more than two-thirds and sometimes

Moreover when women undertake to
secure employment in the executive
departments at Washington they find
the same handicap in their way, The

We could never understand how Eng
lish farmers made itipay to huddle
sheep on potato patches, and keep them
there until the turnips were consumed,
All our American sheep would waste
more than they used, unless, indeed,
the turnips were ONLY fed off while
the soil was dry on the turnips were
frozen into the ground. The only adj
vantage of the plan seems to have been
that the sheep manure was evenly dis
tributed while the sheep were feeding
and as the sheep were also fed grain
the land was enriched for future crops
But the turnips surely did not make
as much muffin as they should have
