THE POULTRY QUESTION.

Judson, N. D., Farmers Wife Sheds
Some Interesting Light on the PouI-
try Question.
Editor Tribune: Your question,
"Can chickens be profitably raised on
the Missouri slope?" can only be an
swered by an emphatic, yes. The rest
of the question, "How?" and "Why
are there no more raised?" are not so
easily answered.
The farmers of the states east and
south of us raise lots of hogs and sell
them at a profit when they get as low
as four cents pound. No one will
for a moment try to argue that a
pound Of pork can be raised as cheap
ly as a pound of poultry, yet who
thinks of selling chickens for 4 cents
The farmers of Dakota raise hogs and
have difficulty in disposing of them at
6 cents dressed. No one has trouble
to dispose Of dressed poultry ia IL
and IA cents. Four or five months
will mature a chicken and three
months broiler. With the near mark
cts and good prices that always pre-
vail here, there can be no question as
to the profitableness." We are carry
ing out the adage of Poor Richard, "A
nimble sixpense is better than a slow
shilling"
The How" would occupy too much
space to attempt to tell here. A
whole issue of the Tribune could be
gwen to it and then a great deal would
be left unsaid. Much can be learned
by reading good poultry papers and
consulting breeders of good poultry
The Poultry Herald Of st. Paul, MIMI,
is a good cheap paper 1t can be got
a year for Is cents by new subscrib-
ers. Lots may be learned by carefully
reading the catalogues sent out by
breeders of poultry and dealers in

The farmers pay but little attention
to advertising. He is not used to it.,
and has not good judgment as to what
it will do for him. A few years ago
a neighhor had a fine. four year old
Guernsey bull that he wanted to sell
to prevent inbreeding. All that the
stock yards people in his city would
pay for the animal was $40, says an
eastern exchange. He was told that
the stock yard was no market for
Bleeding animals. The men to sell
that kind of stock to were the men
who want them for breeding purposes.
Z 1t was suggested to place a small ad-
vertisement in the local paper. but
when he was told that it might cost
him S., he took fright at once. He
could not look beyond that S. Finally
he was coaxed to try it, and he re-
ceived a bushel of letters. finally
selling the bull for $40, and had to
send back several drafts to those who
were too late with their money. He
made $25 by: the investment, or 500 per
cent. Last autumn a farmer had 400
bushels of fine two-rowed Bavarian
barley to SELL All buyers in this
vicinity would pay was IS cents. A
small advertisement in the state paper
has sold 430 bushels at $1.25 per bush
ell. A few, years ago three farmers
near this city, who had each a half
dozen or so nice Jersey and Guernsey
heifer calves, were versuaded to ad-
vertise them. Answers came from
dozen states, and they all went in
bunch to purchaser in Idaho. Farm
ers do not often enough try to CO.
operate in this way. Somebody must
come along and urge them into it.
Good profits can often be made on
products of the farm, like seed grain,
dairy cattle, well-bred pigs and fowls.
by advertising them in good farm
'ers' paper, and especially in the local
paper. The paper is go-between
that should be used far more than it
Is. Farmers should use good bust
ness judgment as well as merchants
and manufacturers. 1t is more than
half the battle to be good seller.

one who aims to raise more than 200
chicks a year. The real profit is in
the winter EGGS To have them one
must have early Matched pullets,
which can only be got by artificial in
cubatiOn. If you depend on hens to
hatch your chickens they will be too
err. The pullets must also be of a good
late to begin laying before cold wealth
laying breed. The Leghorns are &C.
knowledged by all to be the best lay
ers, yet in my mind the Wyandottes
rank first for they will lay just about
as well and they have the weight to
make them desirable market and
table fowl. I keep the white for it is
easier for me to tell the proper color
Of plumage in my best birds. If one
is raising hens for eggs alone the Leg
horns are the best for they are
smaller and do not eat SO much, hence
will lay more eggs for the feed con-
sumed. but unless an incubator is
used they will not do for they do not
become broody until old. The Ply
mouth Rock is great favorite with a
good many, but I could never make
them lay in winter to equal the
Wyandottes. Everyone who keeps
poultry should have few pure BREEDS,
at least. The sale of eggs for hatch
ing at good price, and a few birds
to the neighbors for breeders will pay
the extra COST, and the satisfaction of
having something good is worth q
great deal, besides you will take bet
ter care of what you take pride in.
"Why are there no more raised %
Because it is left to the woman and
she given nothing to do with. In
Minnesota we raised a great many
hogs, marketing as high as thousand
dollars worth year. and naturally on
coming here my husband planned to
build good hog house. seed down a
pasture for them. etc.. but the past
summer has convinced him that the
same money and work put into the
poultry business would bring twice
the clear profit and consequently he
will only keep what hogs will consume
the creamery milk and join me in the
poultry work. Too many people ex-
pect the chicken to pick their living,
and thus defeat their own work. They
will scold about "the chickens eat
their heads off and never lay when
eggs are high" I wouldn't either If
I was a hen with the treatment they
get. Everything is carried on on too
big scale in these parts to raise
much poultry When land gets too
high in price to profitably use 1t in
raising grain and grazing the farmers

things and then we will have plenty OF

GERS who could speak Spanish to send
with the Honorary Board Of Philippine
commissioners to the st. Louis Expo
sition the Secretary of War had the

AS soon as it was discovered that Lieu

was designated for the service.
Lieutenant Young is a Washing

paper business and was employed in
the Weather Bureau before the war with
Spain. He enlisted in Troop 1 of the
First United States Volunteers, and

Friday.
Caesar told me that he intended see

as the little girl, saying that she had
some Of his letters. and that as he was
determined TO have done with her for
all time he wanted TO get them back
They had an appointment TO meet at
the corner Of 125th Street and Eighth
Avenue. and they did meet there about
II 80 o'clock that night. Then they got
into a cab. agreeing TO meet me in Elan

and St. Nicholas Avenue, an hour later.
"They drove around Harlem for an
hour and a half. and ! was told went

o'clock in the morning Young had
quarrel with the woman and did not get
the letters from her. They parted good
friends however. and she went home
in cab. for which Young paid. and It
was agreed that she should give the
letters to him the next morning.
Few Hours Sleep.

O'Clock. Caesar had only about two
hours sleep, and left my house early,
so as to get those letters. agreeing to
meet his wife at the pier"
Much light is thrown upon the attitude
Of Nan Patterson toward Young by her
letters. It is plain that she was deter
mined not to have him leave her if by
any means she could hold him
The following is a copy of one of her
letters. apparently written about the
middle of May:

This letter was written with a lead
pencil on paper which bore a gold "R"
in a circle. 1t was evidently written by
the woman at a time when she was
much excited or greatly hurried. Though
the writing is round ard legible, it is
uneven.
