Outside of running a country news paper we don't know of any job more difficult than being Presidnt of the United States of America. The Presi- dent who possesses any hustle and get up-and-getativeness is accused of being d dictator, usurper or despot and if he
 remains passive he is called man of putty, nonentity, etc. Now what's a poor man going to do in caso like this?

From June LIST up to next November
LIST, the eggs laid by the one hundred
hens would more than pay their board
and care An additional income could
also be had by setting brOOdy hens
after the incubators were stopped, the
offspring of which would be profitable
as small roasting fowls.
If an incubator of 220-egg size, or
two of 12O-egg each, is started each
week, there would eventually be a new
hatch each week. and a weekly ship
ment of brOilerS to market. 1t would
be a question of only a short time be-
fore there would be a regular income
established.
Computing the cost of the eggs, oil,
feed and dressing for market, a broiler
costs about fifteen cents per pound, or
twenty-five cents for each one and a
half pound bird. At the. prices of the
past season, there is from 40 to so per
cent profit in this, which shows that
the matter is one worth looking into,
and the Western farmer today is i'm as
good position as the Eastern farmer
to make this the most valuable crop
on the farm.

be trained to do similar work if
taken while quite young.
Rex is a collie of unusual intelli-
gence belonging to Edmond G. Poland,
of WOburn, Mass. Mr. Poland is a
poultryman and Rex has been trained
to aid him in his business. Rex
spends much of his time among the
hens and generally is on hand when
anything goes wrong, ready to be of
assistance i'm any way possible. He
is frequently called into service for the
purpose of capturing hens, and chick
ems which have escaped from the
yards. AS soon as he gets the word,
the intelligent animal is after the
wanderer and in moment later has
her a prisoner. Rex is careful not to
hurt the fowl. but holds it gently I'M
til Mr.. Poland or his son is ready to
take it.
Another feat which Rex performs
is the gathering of eggs which have
been laid i'm the yard. When he finds
such an egg he takes it in his mouth
and carries at to his master. 1t is
seldom that he breaks an egg.
Rex is able to give an especially
good account of himself when hen
crawls under the house or into some
-of-the-way corner where she can
not be reached. The dog generally is
able to crawl under the house or into
the hole and bring out the refractory
bird. In addition to his other good
qualities Rex is a first-class watch dog
and no poultry is ever stolen from Mr..
POland's establishment. 1t would be
likely to go hard with any chicken
thief who encountered Rex. At the
same time, the animal is exceedingly
gentle, quiet and well-behaved. He
is a pet in the community and the
whole neighbOrhOOd feels that there is
safety in his presence.-E. J. Earring

results of some experiments at poultry
raising in South Georgia, and then
adds some statistics from other places.
The writer is certainly mistaken,
when he makes the assertion that the
conditions are more favorable for
poultry in Georgia than anywhere
else. Certainly our climate is so much
better that it will more than offset the
other advantages that may exist in
favor of that state.
On this farm, in the wiregrass sec
ton, the cost of conducting the pOul
try business was $1.01 per hen. The
net profit of the business was 81 81
per hen. The profit was really more
than this for the food for the poultry
was raised Oh the farm, but was put
down among the expenses at exactly
the market price of food for poultry.
This also included the cost of improve
ments in the poultry buildings, and the
purchase of many high-priced settings
of eggs for the purpose Of improving
the breed.
Mr.. Marbury has given much atten-
ton to the raising of poultry. He said
yesterday:
One of the reasons that Georgia has
not received far greater revenue from
this part of the farm business is be-
cause farmers considered poultry and
eggs as unworthy of their notice. 1t
was left to the women folks who were
content for a long time to gather the
eggs and let it go at that. In these
Iatf no iSin of FRY haS
been reduced to a science, and has en-
gagged some of the brightest minds.
Chemists made analysis of the ingre-
dents of the egg. They learned that
as a large portion of the egg was
water, fresh water was an absolute
requisite for the hen. The chemist
found that lime was needed in making
the shell. Lime was supplied to the
hen, and the best results followed.
Other experiments had similar results.
For a long time it was believed that
hens would lay eggs only during GER
tain seasons of the year. 1t was
found that the coy and reluctant
female cared not for any special sea-
son, but insisted on certain conditions
of warmth etc When these conditions
We're supplied artifcially, the hen &C
knOwledged her appreciation of the
efforts i'll her behalf by laying eggs
the year round, and made herself so
much more valuable at the same time.
The annual output of eggs in this
country is upward of 2,0OO,00O,OO0 dOz-
ems and represents one of the very
largest revenues. The expectation has
grown from some 5000 dozen in 1872,
to over 100000 dozen in 1900. Since
that time, the number has diminished.
market at home. Most of the exports
were to Great Britain. In Greater
New York statistics show that the
daily consumption is 7S, or about
three-quarters of an egg per soul,
meaning millions of eggs for New
York each day alone. In the 1890
statistics, eggs and poultry were next
in value to cotton, amounting to near
$3OO,OOO,OOO.
Russia is the largest producer of
eggs in the world. With the unsettled
condition of the government and the
excited condition of the hen, owing to
the frequent explosions of dynamite
bombs and palace changes, there will
probably be a great decrease over the
normal and thus afford better eX-
porting market.

these things are only a matter of taste.
1t is a good thing to have patience

full. Their condition i'm life tends to
the cultivation of this virtue. 1t will

You are buying new stock, and will

Then, too, it may be well to remem-
Der that the seller cannot guarantee
every egg to hatch. Should some

Perhaps you are to blame, yourself,

EDITORIAL

The annual report Of the Alca1de
of San Juan contains some curious
facts, among others. that the conxre-
gantes pay fer the water which they
consume.
It has cost some labor, but in tke
cad the object has been attained, and
our tutors, like other inhabitants of
San Juan, pay for the water which
they use, which, as may be seen
from glance at the report, is not
a small quantity.
Mr.. Post is tke largest consumer of
water among the redeemers.
Since April-the month in which
our tutors began paying for this
neccssity-until tke end Of the fiscal
year in June, in other words, three
months, he las paid the municipality
twenty two dollars and twenty five
cents for water.
This briHss to mind the long time
durin e wh ich the functionaries have
been getting their water at the ex-
pense Of the city, and.justihes the
campaign that has been waged in
order to compel them TO pay for it
themselves.
Has or has not been justified the
Genouncing of the sponsins procli-
vities of those bureauCrats who up
to three monts ago paid nothing for
the water which they consumed?
Had they any right to formerly
enjsy gratis something for which
they have been paying for Since
April7
Certainly they had not. If they
pay for water now they should have
paid for it before; they are making
a mistake if they imagine we will be
satisfied because in April they con-
ceived the brilliant idea-suggested
by necessity-of paying fortwhat'they
had been getting free since their
arrival in heJorgOttta Island.
BY happy accident, our generous le-
gislators who took the immortal stand
OF conceding free domicile to the
cengresantes, forgot to include wa
ter and light among the favors gran
ted TO our incffable redeemers; let
us therefore, At least save the Old
debt which is by no means bagats-
lie.
In no manner are we willing to
agree that the congregsntcs shall
only pay from April first for the wa
ter and ligkg which they have used
in their dwellings,.
Prior to April first, who paid fo1
these things2 Did we not pay fo1
them ourselves
Is the country going to so signally
favor its servants?
In no manner can we tolerate it.
Let the congr egantes pay all their
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1906-09-07

debt from the time they arrived in
San Juan and invaded the public
buildings.
The debt is outstanding, and it
ought to be paid by those who con-
tracted it.
The people have been paying it
and this is unjust.
Our tutors should realize that this
is not tAe usual way of settling oblis-
atoms.
Mr.. Post, who always distinguis
hes himself in every way ever the
other functionaries, has spent In
three monthe twenty two dollars and
twenty five cents for the use Of wa
ter from the city acquednct.
And if he uses this quantity now,
when he has t. pay for it, it is highly
probable when he did not think this
necessity would arrive. that he con.
sumed much more, 4 view NEST likely
entertained by other mem bers of
the congregation.
1t is absolutely wrong that such
items should have been included in
the expenses of the Insular govern
ment.
The same reasons which exist Mow
for the functionaries paying for the
water they consume, exiStcdt before.
We would like to have them explain
how they can justify their beginning
to pay fsr this article only from April
first of tke cErrent year leaving the
ifAma Of DrAuiO,1c V,eoTc 30 nc cecil ~
by the tax payers Of the country, an
expense entailed by the waste Of our
tutors.
This is inadmissable. The congre-
gantes should pay into the Insular
treasury the amount that is unQue St
isnably due.
Let them seek some way Of settl-
ing their obligation. To the Auditor,
who has spoken in the United States
of his intention Of inaugurating
new system Of accounting, is presen-
ted splendid opportunity to render
signal service TO the country, by
showing the way for the functiona-
ries TO reimburse the public treasury
for the water and light which they
have used and which the People Of
Porto Rice have had 10 pay for.
This would be an excellent oppor-
tunity for Mr.. Ward to test his new
system Of accounting,
And the country az large would sure
Ily rejoice and second every effort
made in defending It's interests by
the distinguished functionary who
.on account of his position, is suprc-
mely qualified to fgure exactly the
amount which ought to be paid By the
reverend cengregantes.
