Value Of the industry.
The poultry industry of the United
States represents over 16 per cent. of
the entire animal production from
farms. According to report of the
department of agriculture, the eggs ag-
gregate 1,293,S1S,144 dozen. This
would make 43,127.273 crates of thirty
dozen each. An average refrigerator
car, having capacity Of forty-twO
and one-half feet, holds 400 crates.
This means that a train of cars S6S
miles long would be required to carry
the eggs from the farms to market.
Yet the industry is practically in it's
infancy and offers abundant fields for
all who wish to enter the business.

REGARDED as Standard.

Chickens that combine both egg and
meat qualities are desired as much as
the dual purpose COW. For this purpose
the Plymouth Rocks are regarded as
standards. They are not so good egg
producers as the LeShOrns. but are
larger and more profitable birds for
the market. The eggs weighs about
eight to the pound and are a bright
market color. The birds make fine
brOilers at from eight to twelve weeks
and when mature weigh from eight
to nine pounds each. The prices re-
ceived for such chickens range from
Sc to $1,000 per dozen.
A flock of one dozen chickens will
produce $50 to 200 young fowls every
year. With the aid of incubators this
may be materially Increased. The ex-
pense of keeping old fowls averages 81
each for twelve months. Fanciers do
not attempt to feed many through the
winter. The demand is SO great about
Christmas that fancy prices can be
obtained for all in condition to market.
Cracked corn, wheat, peas and the
grasses make excellent fattening foods.
These can be produced at less cost

Poultry raising promises to become

Seattle commission men are forced to

There are eightyseven varieties of
chickens adapted to the climatic con-

Among those of the most prominence
are the Plymouth Rocks. Wyandottes.

about the question Has the automobile

depends to d great extent upon his own

other, there would now be little talk
about ruling the automobile off the high
ways Of the state OF restricting its use
on those highways to certain periods
of the day Or night Few people there
are even in Vermont who would care
70 place themselves in the path OF prog.

vehemently against the automobile and

obtrude themselves ii the course Of the
IN evitable if they thought that the
motor vehicles we're really here Ia stay.
Such an obtrnsion would be the raukest
foolishness. But the people III the rural
