required, or they are too tired mental
ly TO become sufficiently interested.
That man who is compelled to buy all
his winning birds soon tires OF the
business, and it is not. matter of sur
prise that he does. Much of the pleas
ure and most assuredly goodly por-
ton of the profit come from breeding
the winners ourselves to sell to the
other fellow This does not imply
that in all cases the buyer lacks wis
dom. The beginner must purchase
the foundation for his flock and the
experienced breeder should make oc-
casional purchases when general con-
ditions make them advantageous.
There are too many recruits, who in
the matter of breeding, expect nature
to reverse her laws, and when they
begin TO learn that it requires brains
to breed standard bred fowls, there
comes a sudden lack of enthusiasm.
Their ill luck is attributed to every
cause except the right one, and they
drop out. So it goes. II breeding
fowls was such simple matter, o.
point birds would be worth 81 each,
when as a matter of fact they are
worth from $50 to 500 each, the exact
amount depending upon circumstances
The substance of the whole matter
is that the poultry business is a full
fledged one, wor by the time and tai
ent of grown up men and some wo-
men, both of whom must have GER
tain degree of intelligence and bust
ness judgment and, unfortunately
there are many people get into the
business who do not fit this descrip-
ton and that same fact is one reason
why many people make failures breed
ing poultry.

lance in the rear will be found the
pen fed on whole grain. The report
shows that at no time was the pro-
duction of the pen heavy.
When used for Matching purposes
it was shown that the eggs from pen
one Matched slightly better than those
from either of the other pens. The
eggs from pen 2 Matched slightly bet
ter than those from pen 3. 1t Is
barely possible that some inherent fac
tor in the individual members OF the
pens had some hing to do with this
result. How much to attribute to feed
cannot be ascertained.
The experiment showed that when
hens were fed so slightly as to restrict
egg production then the fertility OF
he egg was also diminished. They
also showed that with excessive feed
ing without adequate exercise, even
Leghorns would get too fat for salts
factory egg production.

THE POULTRY INDUSTRY.

It is altogether probable that this
industry will never be overdone. With
he increase of population there comes
the consumption of more poultry prod
ucts 1t is stated in the daily press
that in the city of New York the con-
sumption of eggs in each family OF
five persons equals four eggs per day.
In Chicago, where the population is
near two million, the ratio OF con-
sumption is some higher, for each per-
son manages to consume one egg a
day.
Deducted from some facts we find
that the poultry business is one OF the
most profitable of all industries. Not
that every person makes the business
profitable, for they do not, but the
business itself when managed along
right lines must be profitable. The
combined value of eggs and poultry is
six times that of the wool product OF
the nation. Prices did not come down
nor did the number increase unduly
when the incubator was brought into
use. This was expected to revolution
ize things, but it has not done so yet.
While this business has gone on stead
lily some of our best poultrymen have
educated the hen so she keeps. on lay
ing eggs while the incubator is doing
the business of incubation. In round
numbers the annual output OF eggs
amounts to $145, 100000 while that of
poultry aggregates $139,OOO,OO0. Iowa
leads the states in the production or
eggs, her yearly product being 100000
900 dozens Ohio comes next with
900O0000.
This really is a great industry and
we are only in the b of it. I'M
provement is going on all along the
line, and while poultry keepers will
try to keep up with the demand, we
think they will always keep just lit
tie in the rear of it.

FEEDING EXPERIMENTS.

AS we have frequently stated In
these columns, one experiment does
not always prove the ACCESSIBILITY OF
making changes in poultry manage
ment, but does show which way the
wind is blowing and the tendencies
of such foods. In West Virginia the
experiment station has been conduct
ing a number of experiments along
the line of feeding to de ermine, If
possible, the best ration for the pro-
duction of eggs. Previous experiments
at this station have shown that White
Leghorns produce more eggs when
about one-third of their grain ration
is ground and moistened, than when
they are fed the grain whole scattered
in litter.
The hens in pen No. received no
whole grain from start to finish OF
the period The ground feed con-
sisted of equal parts of corn meal,
ground wheat and ground oats. Beef
scraps were fed with the morning
meal. They were fed twice day as
much as they would clean up in abou
one-half hour. Pen No. 2 was fed
a grain ration consisting of equal
parts of corn, wheat and oats, one-third
of which was ground and fed to the
pen similarly to that of pen one. The
whole grain was fed in litter and the
beef scraps were fed in mash Pen
No. received only whole grain with
beef scraps fed dry. All increased
slightly in weight during the expert
ment. Pen No. during the first peri
cd of 12O days laid 709 eggs; pen 2,
666, and pen 3, 696. During the second
period of 120 days, pen 1 laid 1,1OS
eggs; pen 2, 1,13S, and pen 3, 961. The
total number of eggs produced by pen
1 during the whole experiment was
1877. Pen produced 1904, and pen
3 laid 1,657. 1t will thus be seen that
with practically the same amounts OF
feed consumed the pen of fowls fed
entirely upon ground feed led in egg
production, very closely followed by
the pen receiving one-third of the ra-
ton ground, while a considerable dis

ter problem is yet unsolved. We have
read turkey lore and in the first few
years of our experience used various
methods, but have finally come to the
conclusion the less we NEEDLE with
the turkey mothers method of rearing
her young the better off we are in the
fall
We set most of the eggs Gall the
early ones) under chicken hens, and
do this to save the eggs, as early in
the season they disappear from a tur-
keys nest in various ways. When
the poults hatch, give them to tur
key that has been setting couple of
weeks or SO, confine them for few
days till the young have become tame
and commenced to eat, but do not feed
them anything in the way of grain
food till two or three days old. 1t is
best to have the pen include some
green vegetation, also little sand or
fine grit. The time for feeding the
first meal depends on the poulls. If
they have digested the yelk they will
be slim and active, otherwise they will
not be.
We feed chick food, at first a mash,
later in connection with whole grain.
We of course use a particular brand,
but no doubt most any of the and
ard foods are just as good. We have
no time for boiling eggs, making cot
tage cheese, etc., etc. Many do and
anyone can that likes, as it is all
right. The main thing about feeding
is to not overdo the work. When the
hen is set at liberty, feed very little,
don't be afraid she will hurt the
poults trailing them through wet
grass or letting them drown in the
spring shower She will do nothing
of the kind. Don't keep her up too
long, or the poults will depend too
much on you for food, and not hun
for it as instinct teaches them, and you
will have to keep up the feeding more
regularly and longer. When lice make
their appearance, which they are sure
to do as soon as the pOults get wing
feathers, go after them once a week
with good insect powder. Keep this
up several weeks, I'm il you have them
well killed off and the poults have a
good start on life's journey. Last, but
not least, see that the old hen brings
her flock on your own premises to
rOOSt. Don't confine her to small
quarters; let her select the particular
spot in your orchard, meadow or pas
ture. She will appreciate being per
mitted to select her own particular
spot and will not change it but few
yards or rods at most, and when the
young are ready to fly up on a perch
she will no doubt bring them home,
but if she does not, see that she does.
Many breeders have a time getting
their turkeys to roost at home, and
have in some instances discarded the
handsome bronze for smaller birds,
thinking them more domesticated. We
never raised any breed save the
bronze, and it is very seldom we have
to drive a flock home. To be sure if
one is loca ed within few yards of
a public road and have no groves or
orchards, with near neighbors who
have, their turkeys are liable to cause
some trouble, but good water, plenty
of grit "a turkey never knows when
it has enough of the latter and little
feed at nights will bring turkey
home. Many breeders never make a
home for their turkeys, hence like
many members of human families they
seek other places. When the weather

you to lose many old birds before the
next season closes, but will weaken
the young, causing a large per cent of
them to die before they reach matur-
ity. The breeder is not always to
blame if he does not raise a goodly
flock each season; climatic conditions
which we are unable to guard against
have much to do with this.

sad story. Of Success.

A Harvard student of exceptional
physical vigor, as he and his friends
believed, was stricken in 1883 with
complete paralysis of the legs. He
took up his studies at home, worked
under general rules and examination
and in 1883 gained his degree as of
the class Of 1884. Then. although fire..
quently interrupted by illness, he un-
dertook to compete for a prize Of
fered by learned society. The task
occupied him two years. Unanimous
" the committee awarded the prize
to his manuscript-but he died before
their judgment was made known.

Money In Farming.

The chances for o young man Ia
make money in farming in Stutsman
county are clearly shown in the case
of Frank Neya, residing north Of
jamestown. Mr.. Neva has just sold
his farm, containing 100 acres, and
stock and machinery to John Nor
ris of Cooperstown for $2S,OOO.
Mr.. Neya came to North Dakota
with his parents sixteen years ago
and lived at home until seven years
ago, when he began working for
himself with practically nothing. He
filed on homestead and kept buying
adjoining lands until he secured
1,1OO acres w4.n much stock and ma
chinery. He has run threshing rig
in the falls and has been an untiring
worker. He has cleared $22, 900 in the
sa ta years he has been farming or
has decided to retire and live ON the
interest of his money.
