Ov'r Supply.

Ov'r Supply.
From Farmers Review: Some
times we hear the remark that in
few years there will be an over sup
ply of poultry and poultry products
at the rate at which the poultry bust
ness is increasing. The item that the
United States receives in imports, To-
900 dozen eggs yearly will hardly
agree with the above. Not only are
eggs imported, but pounds and pounds
of dressed poultry. From this 1t would
seem there is no danger Of over pro-
duction. We must remember that the
population increases as fast or faster
than the production of poultry in
creases and every year sees great
increase in the consumption of poul-
try. Just as rapidly as we produce and
furnish to consumers eggs and poultry
in attractive and palatable shape the
consumption will increase; also the
price. Americans especially do not
kick ruch on the price they pay for
eatables If the eatables are good. The
appetite for eggs and poultry is en-
larging very rapidly, but to get good
prices for them the eggs must be fresh
and the poultry fat and healthy.
Use care in gathering and sending
the eggs to market; do not send them
with dirty shells. Lately much has
been said and little proven that eggs
whose shells have been washed will
decay sooner because the washing de-
stroys the gloss of the shell which Is

preventing air entering. However this
may be, washed egg never looks as
fresh and glossy as a clean unwashed
egg. But we do not want to market
dirty eggs; so what will we do? Fur
nish lots of nice clean nests and have
clean litter around and in front of the
nests so the hens may get some of the
dirt off their feet before going on the
nest. Perhaps In future years we will
have the hens educated to wipe their
feet on cloths hung In front OF their
nests.
Have your eggs clean and fresh
your fowls healthy and fat; then mar
ket them in attractive packages and
coops. Wherever possible market di-
rect to the consumer. Do not worry
about the other fellows getting all the
custom Of your town. The chances
are they are sitting and worrying for
fear some one else will cut figure III
the case. Doing this will never get
you a buyer. Get up and hustle; emu
late your best layers in the hustling
and hunting line. Be brisk. Take
some of your clean, fresh eggs in a
nice clean basket and nice dressed
fowl or two. Be sure they are fat and
plump, and call on some one you
think would like your wares. If the
first house don't buy, try another;
some one will want them. Then en-
gage more for the days that you can
deliver them handily.
Never market an egg or fowl that
is not of attractive appearance. Re-
member a pleased customer is the best
advertisement, and act accordingly. |;
won't be long until you can market
all the surplus at fair profit. Do not
charge an exorbitant price, but chargs
enough to make some profit. Do not
bewail because you cannot raise prize
winners, but make good customers by
furnishing good products. - Emma
