Opportunities for Poultry Raisers.

10 the farmers living within twenty
or thirty miles of the large cities
there are always opportunities that
should prove very profitable Great
hotels are always ready to take con.
slgnments of poultry and eggs pro.
vided the consignments can be made
every day the year round. One Chi
,cago hotel was for some time trying
to tlrd a farmer that would furnish
20 dozen eggs day at Is cents a
dozen. The contract was too big for
any one of them to take. There were
farmers that would agree to furnish
20 dozen of eggs day through the
laying season, but they could not
promise to keep it up throughout the
year. The knowledge of how to pro-
duce winter eggs is so lacking gen
orally that few have the temerity to
base contract on the ability to do so.
Few American farms have the EQUIP.
ment necessary to produce 300 eggs
a day, even it the laying habits of the
fowls are ever so we'll apportioned as
to season. It will pay our farmers to
SO equip their farms that they can
take advantage of the very profitable
opportunities that so frequently pass
by. In the old mythology Father
Time has a lock Of hair on the front
part Of his head to signify that who
ever would make the most of time
must be able to seize the opportunity
as it comes and not as it goes. The
farmer that is ready for the opportun-
ity before it comes will generally find
the opportunity coming his way

TWO GRAcEs HELD SUFFICIENT.
Third Was Sawed OF by Order Of
r.. :. Prejudicedf Stage Manager. r..

= Prejudiced Stage Manager. RI
That's a cheerful trio," said
Charles Walter Brown, author Of revo-
lutionary hero biographies, to his
brother-in-law, William Evarts, actor.
Yes, three graces, so to speak,
returned Evarts.. -"
They were on a Van Buren street
car and passing some kind of medi-
cal shop where three skeletons in the
window seemed to be quite happy to-
gether. The grim relics accorded
with Sidney Smiths friends idea,
who wished in hot weather that he
could take off his flesh and let the
cool breezes whistle through his
bones.
Reminds me-" continued Evarts,
"of manager I once knew who had
some dealings with the three graces.
A star was going to act in my friends
theater,. against whom he was per-
haps prejudiced. In the play was
scene in which the three graces were
to appear as a set piece under an
arch. The set piece was too wide
for the arch, and the stage carpenter
went to the manager for advice. The
carpenter told the manager all about
the situation and said that the star
was insistent about the three graces.
Never mind him. said the manag-
er. "You saw off one of them graces
and set two under the arch. Two
graces is enough for him, anyhow. -

Two Cows.

Two COWS may differ very little as
to their production and yet one may
be worth twice as much as the other
One COW costs $50 to keep and she
produces S55 worth Of butter. The
other COW costs $50 to keep AID she
produces $50 worth of butter. A
superficial estimate would place the
two COWS in value as II is to II MAX
ing the best COW one-eleventh more
valuable than the other But the
fact is that the method of con, pairing
the COWS is faulty. 1t is the profits
that must be compared and not the
total receipts for the milk. Compar
ing the profits we find that one COW
gave SIS profits and the other SO
profits. Therefore the second COW
was worth twice the first. The first
COW, we will say, sells on the market
for $50. The second COW is there
fore worth $50. That the public has
not yet taken that view CT it is evi-
denced by fact that these two COWS
will sell in the mslket at about $50
and $35 respectively. We do not put
the proper financial value ON the good
COW and we give the poor COWS too
high value. But it frequently hap
pens that the difference in profits be-
tween two COWS is very much greater
than this. One COW will make IS a
year profit and another SIS a year
profit, The one is worth fifteen times
as much as the other is worth. When
farmers come to really appreciate this
difference the good COW will be more
commonly kept On the farm than she
is now.
