TOO closely, without sufficient ventila-
ton. cured the diarrhoea by giving
small quantity Of sulphuric aoid in
the drinking water, and fixed the coops
so that more air would enter, and
waited for the next thing to happen
| had not long to wait. Two hens
began to cackle and tear around and
would not sit on their eggs. The
previous owner of the hens had
doubly assured me that the hens were
free from lice, but mistrusting that as
the trouble, | investigated All OF the
hens were just alive with lice, and
furthermore had scaly leg. One hen re-
fused to resume her work, and so the
eggs were changed about to the other
hens. By changing eggs from one
hen to another | made hens hatch two
settings (each) in five weeks, but from
my experience I do not believe it pays.
The hens being different-some sitting
close, some leaving eggs oftener than
others ETC., makes different tempera-
ture and I believe the hatch suffers in
consequence" Long ago I discovered
that while some hens were successful
misunderstanding nearly every fer
tile egg given them-other hens never
came off with a good hatch Some
hens will rob the eggs given to them,
while still others do not furnish suffi-
cient heat to warm the embryo into
life.
But let us hear our beginners con-
clusion Of her first summers expe-
rience in poultry raising. Barring
several accidents my chicks have all
done fine until the last hatch came off.
| do not like to confess it, but I be-
came careless, did not look closely for
hid lice, and did not really feed the
way | should, rather letting them
(the last hatch) take pot luck with the
older chicks. In consequence three
died and two more look droopy, for
the lice gained Roadway on me, and
now must just hustle, I suppose. 1t

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-12-26

Following is my estimate Of the
chicken industry OF the nation for the
year 1903.
I have tried to take into account all
these various conditions and to give
them their proper weight. But if any,
one else were to get different result,
he is welcome to his opinion.
It appears that eggs to the value Of
$3.50, 100000 were raised and sold or
eaten last year, and poultry was dis
posed of to the value Of $3.50, 100000.
This makes grand total Of over $780,
100000 Nor does it include poultry
actually on hand at the end Of the year,
nor the gain in number and value in the
course Of the twelve months. This
gain in value, including new chickens
added and the increased value Of the
old flock, amounts for the year probab-
ly to not less than $10,000,O0O This
would bring the total production Of
wealth by the poultry Of the nation dur
ing the year 1905 up to $510000,0OO.
Remember this is the home value,
the value OF the producer and not the
cost to the consumer. Were this con-
sumption value added it would increase
the total by at least another OO,00O,
coo. Such is the lay Of the American
hen! May she ever prosper, and yet
more gloriously
Mere figures, though they sound big,
are difficult to appreciate. Think what
that half billion dollars produced by the
poultry last year would do. 1t would
buy two pairs Of So shoes for every
man, woman and child Of Our great
nation. It would build two Panama
canals. 1t would buy out the Pennsyl-
vania railroad system with it's ten thou
sand miles Of track through the rich
est section OF Our nation. It would,
in two years, wipe OUT our national
debt. 1t would add a hundred battle
ships to our navy every year. It would
pay for all the public schools Of the
nation for two years. Or it would
give two million boys and girls col
lege education, paying all their ex-
penSeS.
The number OF eggs produced last
year was probably not less than 1871
| 100000 dozen-nearly two thousand
million dozen! Placed end to end those
| eggs would make a belt, thirty-four
eggs wide, around the earth at the
equator. At the present time, making
proper estimates for increases both in
numbers and in value, and adding those
IN the villages and cities, the value Of
chicken now alive is about $135, 900, 900.
| After all it is the women Of the
| homes who are most largely interested
in the raising Of poultry Here and
| there a man is engaged in raising them
as a business. Now and then a man
takes the responsibility of the home
flock, but for the most part the growth
n eggs and chickens is for the benefit
Of the housewife And a very large
part OF the $5oo,o0O,oOo produced each
year is her egg and chicken money,

| But only small part Of it is used for

your request for beginners to write
their experience in poultry raising. l
supposed you would be overcrowded
did not finish the letter started to
write to you a month ago, but III the
meantime | have had a little more

had hoped for long list, but have
greatly enjoyed the letters that did
come, and have gained much that is
helpful to me in my work from their
contents.
Our Winona beginner started this
spring to raise Standard bred Bar
red Rocks, bought three settings OF
eggs and gave them to hens to in
cubate In telling OF the first step in
the work, she says: ''As l knew no
thing at all about poultry, how I
trembled every time a hen left her
nest to eat, for I feared she would
not go back again. I worried for
fear she would eat too much, then
for fear she might starve. 1 mag
ined the hens were sick, and all sorts
Of things worried me, but the old
Biddies knew their business better than
| did and at present | have twenty
five lusty, healthy Plymouth Rocks"
Just as anxiously and with similar
fears, did I count off the days Of the
three weeks that my biddes were
warming into life the precious eggs that
had been bought to give me the start
in a Standard bred flock OF w. P
Rocks. I almost lived with those sit
ting hens, and how long the time did
seem before I heard the first faint
peep" Never since have I watched
a hatch with such anxiety, and never
have l had fonder hopes centered in
two settings Of eggs, and never have
| since, felt the elation I did when
took nineteen downy chicks from
under those hens, for we're not those
babies my very first pure bred w P
Rocks, and were they not destined
for the parent stock Of my future flock
that was to surpass in quality and beau
ty all others of their breed! Oh, yes,
| know all about beginners anxieties,
fears, hopes and expectations. And
have since learned how slow and la
borious is the ascent to the pinnacle
where we grasp the realization Of the
hopes and expectations Of our fond
dreams. But withal it is fascinating
way, with much to enjoy and interest
the breeder at every step.
Our friend had very good success
with her twenty-five chicks. She
fed them dry feed green stuff and
meat, and has not been troubled with
lice at all. She says most of the
twenty-five are cockerels, and while
she pities the neighbors when they be-
gin to crow, she will think their crow
ing the sweete st kind OF music to her
ears. Certainly she will, for that is
one Of the fancier's characteristics

Uncle Sans Poultry Industry.

be all entirely accurate. In fact, it
would be impossible to gather exact
reports from all those who keep poul-
try. Yet we have no doubt that they
are under, rather than over the truth
The article is from Agricultural Adj
vertising:
When your Uncle Samuel goes into
business Of any kind you may be sure
that he will do it on an enormous scale.
He has half the railroads Of the world
T. mines nearly as much coal as all
the nations. Of the earth combined
His iron and steel lead the world
England and Japan watch his cotton
fields. When his wheat harvest is
poor famine raises it's head abroad
1t is not surprising, then, that his
chicken industry assumes tremendous
proportions. His roosters greet the
rising sun in continued chorus across
the continent. His hens by the hun
dreds Of millions cackle their triumph
every day over rich treasures.
Five hundred million dollars Of
wealth in a single year from the
nations poultry! More than GO eggs
produced every second Of the twenty
four hours for 800 days in the year!
Chicken dinner once a week for every
family in the nation!
But to get down to cold facts about
the chicken industry (not the same
thing as cold chicken). What is the
American hen worth? How much will
she produce in the course Of a year?
How much does she add to the nations
yearly income? The answer to this
question involves numerous difficulties
he census enumeration aims to give
us the facts once in ten years But he
never gives us all the facts and never
twice i'll the same manner. And the
latest are now six years old.
In those six years the hens have

bators, natural and artificial, have been

have been growing into 'henhood,"
until the enormous figures Of six years
ago are vastly augmented.
Nor is this ALL. Prices have gone
soaring too, and in some sections o: the
nation eggs are becoming a luxury OF
the few and "broilers' rarely tasted
dainty.
Besides the difficulties Of increased
numbers and prices, there is yet more
serious obstacle to the Placing Of exact
figures on the present hen industry
The census man did not find all the
chickens He made his returns from
over 100000 farms, but said not
word about the m11tit.des Of hen yards
that decorate every village and even
city community.
He did try to include the chickens
and eggs eaten on the farmers own
tables, bit the chances are that he
failed to get but a fraction Of this con-
sumption and that millions Of dollars

counted for, went down the threats o;
