Bio Returns From Poultry.

Now what about the returns from
eggs and poultry meat when produced?
l am disposed to under, rather than
over, estimate in this matter. A very
moderate estimate is 100 eggs per
hen per year for sale or use. These eggs
at one cent each are worth $1.OO all
told. In addition to this you should
have a setting of eggs that would give
you eight chickens, ,yhich. at 10 cents
each, would be worth 80 cents. This
makes q total return of $3.50. What
does it cost to produce these returns?
This is just where one marked advan-
tage of poultry raising comes in A
great deal of the feed used to produce
poultry on the farm is made up OF
what are, comparatively speaking.
waste products-small grain, table
scraps, green bone, etc. But We lave
made experiments at Ottawa with a
view of learning just what the cost OF
production is where foods have to be
purchased-the cost of the grain used.
being placed at a cent a pound. Even
on this basis. the cost of feeding a hen,
as shown by actual experiment, was
not beyond IS cents per year. This
left a profit of at least $1.OO per fowl
And this was allowing only cent
each for eggs. How much greater
would the profits be il eggs were
produced in winter. when rs. 30 and
35 cents Ler dozen can be obtained
in Toronto or local markets? In that
case the net profits would run up to
$1.5O to $500 per year.-Prof. A. q.

NEBR ASKA IN GENERAL
BETTER TEACHERS NEEDED

The Forthcoming Report Of Superin-
tendent Fowler.
In his forthcoming report Superin-
tendent Of Instruction Fowler has
much to say in regard to the Qualifl-
cations of teachers and teachers sal
aries. He states that the time has
come when boards Of education in
cities and villages should require Of
teachers employed that they be either
normal school. university or college
graduates or holders of professional
state certificates. Teachers with
these qualifications. the report will
say. can be secured II they are paid
salaries commensurate with such
training. AS an example Of this. Mr..
Fowler refers to the large number Of
teachers who responded to the call
for teachers In the Philippines. Only
1000 were needed, but 5000 applied.
The report will say further that all
teachers in the grades should possess
at least three years high school educa-
tion and one years normal school
training.
The state superintendent recon-
mends that after September. 1907. no
person be allowed to teach in the
rural schools who does not possess as
the minimum qualification a thorough
knowledge of the common branches.
such as would admit to the average
school, and also one years drill In q
teachers training class.
