Would Have Been Unfortunate
For the Physician.

A lady was very solicitous about her
health. Every trife made her uneasy,
and h doctor was called imme-
diately.
The doctor was a skillful man, and
consequently had a large practice. 1t
was very disagreeable to him to be so
often called away from his other cases
for nothing, and he resolved to take an
opportunity of letting the lady see
this. One day the lady observed a red
spot on her hand, and at once sent
for the doctor. He came, looked at
her hand, and said:
You did we'll to send for me early"
The lady looked alarmed and asked:

appeared, and I should have lost my
fee for this visit"

Texas is credited with having more
turkeys than any other state in the

Ehey are also good watchers in the
poultry yards, as any unusual dis

size for a small flock of fowls. If a
large flock is to be housed two OF
more small ones would be better than
a very large house.

Labor Cost.

On the general farm, where from
so to 800 laying hens are kept, the
labor item is practically nothing; but
on large poultry plants it is an imnor-
tant item, and, if care is not exercised,
the cost of labor will eat up the profit
OF the business. The work must be
systematized so that n man can
successfully care for a large number
OF fowls. On one large farm which
was visited two men were caring for
1900 fowls; on another n MAI was
caring for $500. A minimum number
Tor one man would be about 1000
Mr.. Channy, who keeps about 500
fowls, is realizing a profit Of about
Sl,2O0 a year. which is considerable
more than many men are supporting
iarge families with. This would nat.

PROFIT IN RAISING POULTRY

on Experience.

IN This country poultry includes
chlckens, turkeys, geese, ducks, guinea
fowls, pigeons, and occasionally pea
lo"ls, pheasants. quail and
c~hlckens, OF course, being the most
important. Something like a quarter
or a billion chickens and other poul-
try are consumed in the United States
every year. The consumption of eggs
is about Is dozen per capita. The last
census gave the total of chickens
raised on American farms in 1899 as

A variety of food and warm houses
are what the poultry flock demand.
Dc not let them roost in trees and on
fences. Any animal that is worth
keeping is worthy of the best care

che best stock, give the best feed and

Weight Of Eggs.

The average weight OF eggs is about
eight to a pound, so that a dozen
eggs would weigh about one and a
half pounds. A pound of eggs con.
tains more nourishment than a pound
of meat. There is no flesh food that
may be served in SO many %palatable
ways as eggs, nor as easily obtained
by farmers. Eggs are a perfect food,
containing all the constituent ele-
ments of nourishment.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition OF the
