fright attending the journey, there is
quite naturally a loss of weight in
those that are so fortunate as to sur
vive These same farmers hurl male
dictions upon the head of the COM
mission merchant because he deducts
for ''shrinkage" in weight in his re-
mittance. They apparently ignore the
fact that they alone are responsible for
the deduction, because they have ere
ated or at the very least, have allow
ed to exist, the conditions which led
to the shrinkage. By crowding the
fowls, the shipper really is extrava-
giant, even though he does lessen his
shipping expenses somewhat; for, nine
times out of ten, it will not only re-
suit in the loss of some of his birds,
but also causes the dealer to sacrifice
the remainder at low price in order
to avoid further loss.

does not prove that chickens do not
kill insects. 1t merely proves that
you are keeping the wrong kind of
chickens.
Dispose Of your large, clumsy, lazy
fowls and get the kind that rustles.
Try Leghorns, Pit Games, Minorcas or
Hamburghs and you will soon see the
insects moving away"
These chickens are not as large
as your Plymouth Rocks, but are
much better layers, more hardy and
easily raised and will rustic for a
part of their living, which makes them
less expensive to keep. And this last
is no little item. The difference in
amount of grain food consumed by
lazy, shiftless fowls and that con-
sumed by the industrious rustling
ones amounts to much more than you

buyers who prefer live birds. The
Jewish markets in all our large cities
require immense supplies of live poul-
try The 200 Or 800 bushels Of man
gels also represent heavy work. They
must be taken out every day, however,
in small lots, just as the droppings are
handled in small lots The Deacon
concludes that any person in poor
health attempting to earn livelihood
with poultry would better keep an
extra 100 hens or so, and use the
al hours work, or days work, as &C.
casion demands it.
I predict that anyone in poor health,
Or good health either, who attempts to
make living and support a family
from 300 hens is doomed to disap-
pointment. In order to make ''$4OO to
$50O'' from them, everything will have
to go sWimmingly. There are a good
many chances of missing a stroke''
OCCASIONALLY duu cutting uOWA luO
profits. Even a roof over the heads of
a family, such as will satisfy an
American family, costs a goodly por-
ton of the above amount. How many
families pay $40 to $40 per month for
rent of five or six rooms? So many
people fail to figure ON this item of
"shelter" as soon as they get into the
country. Dwellings cost nearly or
quite as much in country as in city,
and those who occupy them must pay
the price, either in the form of rent Or
interest and taxes. The labor and
time required to take care of 800 hens,
where the feed is purchased, does not
represent livelihood for a self-re-
speeding American family What is
the use of fooling people into believing
that time and labor will go on much
further in the poultry business than
in other callings? If that were true,
poultry products would be getting
cheaper, instead of advancing con-
stantly in price.

What it Costs to Board a Hen.

From experiments made at the Utah
Agricultural Experiment Station it is
found that the average hen consumes
about 80 pounds of grain and meal in
a year, and requires six pounds Of
oyster shell or its equivalent for the
egg shells. The grain food costs about
cent a pound and with the meat
or protein food the total cost of food
she requires is about $1.00 a year.
From this she ought to produce $50
eggs, valued at, say $500. The hen
pays 100 per cent on her keep, or
ought to.

HENS TEETH f fESu ssn GEs

To properly digest its food the fowl must
have grit What the teeth are to the human
being, grit is to the fowl. We can now furnish
ground oyster shells, from which all the dust
and dirt has been screened, to supply this grit
which is lacking in nearly all parts of Florida.
Goods very inferior to ours and full of dust
have been selling for $1.00 to SIPS per sack OF
100 pounds.

had an article, from the Rural New
Yorker, ON work 'In The Poultry Bust
ness,'' in the next number of the same
paper there was another article on
the same subject, which we think
will be interesting to you.
On page 642 f. C. c. gives a pretty
good idea of some of the items of
labor in connection with the poultry
business requiring physical strength.
| am glad to see the attention of per-
sons in poor health, who are consider
ing the question of turning to poultry
as a means of livelihood, directed to
this side of the story. 1T is hardly
fair, however, to allow that article to
pass without further Sitting Of the
facts presented. I showed the arti-
Gle to the Deacon whose good sense
on most subjects will be remembered
by readers Of The r. NY.
''What about that dead lift Of &C
tons made by Mr.. Cosgrove?"
"Why," said he, "that reminds me
my fathers grist mill when [ was a
boy. He bought a lot Of new bags
that would hold three bushels of grain
he came to mill one day with four
bushels of corn, having three bushels
in one bag and one in the other Com
planning that his new bags were too
big, as he lifted it out of the sleigh
Father asked him why he did not put
half in each bag. "Faith, / nive1
thought of that said Mike.''
The Deacon allows that while Mr.
Cosgrove may buy his grain, etc., in
1OO-pound bags, person in poor
health could buy it nearly or quite as
cheaply and have it put up in pack
ages of SO pounds each, or even less,
at most feed stores. AS matter OF
fact 1 have often bought grain put up
in this way Our 35 colony houses re
quire a bigger load Of grain than we
usually draw at once in our billy
country, if I put a full bag in each
house. By leaving my order and bags
a day in advance, I get it put up in
bushel lots, so that one load will place
a supply in all the houses. They
even mix several kinds of grain fol-
me and bag it in this way when de-
sired. Most feed dealers in the Dea-
cons locality keep a delivery wagon
and would be glad to deliver grain
etc, right into the bins Of a person
in poor health, at a slight additional
price. While it is true that "the
wages of a hired man are not allow.
able from Mr.. Johnson's proits,' the
heavy bags of feed can be handled by
the dealers hired man with ease.
S'What about those heavy droppings
from the tables?''
"Let's see." said the Deacon
scratching his head, che wants tC
clean them every morning, does he
Seems to me if his health is so poor
that he can't lift all he can get from
any ordinary flock at one time, some
of his friends should act as breadwin
