the sight-seers Il never thought that
this class of poultry was handled by
any Negroes" And then that did not
represent one-thrid CT the breeders
who are actually engaged in the rails
ing of thoroughbred poultry in the
State of Tennessee, and it is sur
prising too to learn that they have
only been engaged in it for less than
five years, and every one to a single
person, started with a small flock in
their back yards. Some have grown
to such an extent that they are now
raising them on large scales ann have
drifted to the country where acres
of land are used.
The Negro in general as We'll as the
farmer will have to learn, before he
can expect to succeed, that 1T is best
to have the best of everything on his
premises. The old common chicken
that lays only in May, June, July and
August, is not profitable. The class
of chickens that you want now is those
that will give you winter eggs, and
where broilers can be had during the
early spring that can be produced in
six and eight weeks weighing from
n to n and a half pounds, that
will cost you not more than II cents
per head in producing them, and you
receive 80 and 60 cents each on the

A few years ago and a very few at
that, the raising or thoroughbred
poultry among the Negroes of our
state was indeed limited, but as time
has past and the wheel of prosperity
continues to move on, the Negro is
to be found moving along with it.. The
raising of poultry in any of Its phases
has long since been found to be one
of the best money making PROPOSE
tons that any person could take hold
of, provided they go after it with a
determination to succeed.
1t is not one of those projects that
takes a man his life time to get into
before the profit is to be had. Neither
do we have to put a fortune into it,
nor do W. have to nurse it at all
times, as the majority of the people
think; but the main thing is first to
make up your mind what you are 60
ing to do, utility or for eggs and
whether you are going to raise show
birds, what KIND you are going to
begin with. Then converse with
some person as to the class of houses
necessary, then go to work. Utility
stock is the class for the beginner.
( You will find it better to work up to
the show bird, then start with it
and have to hustle to stay there.
Grow as your business grows and you
will find yourself better fitted for the
higher place. A pen of five or six
birds is a nice start for any beginner,
and at the end of a year, that is if a
careful account has been kept, you
will be surprised to know the profit
that has been derived, We are
proud to state that the Negroes of
Tennessee are fast awakening to this
fact. We have in our state some
men engaged in the poultry business
who are really making a success of
it. This was clearly shown to the
public at their first annual exhibition
held in connection with the Tennessee
State Colored Fair Association in
September last. There were a cor or
more of breeders from dicerent parts
of the state represented, and the birds
displayed surprised every one who
visited the apartments. The express

enough scraps for more, you may in
e you flock accordingly, but re-
member that maximum efficiency can
only be obtained as nearly as possible
the necessary number of fowls to con,
sumo the waste. You will need prob
ably in addition to the table waste
some green food in the winter and a
little grain. If you are not fortunate
enough to have a turnip patch or a
small lot in clover, you may supply
this need by sprouting oats. The
grain should be fed in a deep litter
to induce the hens to take exercise.
never on the bare\ ground. This
makes them lazy. Make them work
as much as possible for What they get.
With good attention five Rhode Is
land Reds from a heavy egg produc-
ing strain should lay at least $50 eggs
per year. These would probably be
sufficient for any ordinary family. The
additional food furnished would not
cost more than Is cents per hen per
year: and at the price Of say rs cents
per dozen for the eggs, the $50 would
bring in 1852 per hen: and deduct
ing % cents per year for additional
feed the net amount for each hen
would be 1882. Some home poultry
growers have gotten as much as $3.50
per hen. l believe that $3.50 for each
hen is a reasonable amount to ex-
pect. l know of no better way of
turning the scraps into money than
tins Raising poultry as a
means Of utilizing table waste is a real
economy and a true way of reducing
the so-called high cost of living. Aside
from economy, poultry is very fascina-
ting and the hens make good pets.
Once you begin to raise you will just
love it.
In the writer's home nothing is
wasted that car be eaten by the
chickens. Even potato and turnip
peels are cooked and fed. The bones
from roasts and stews are baked into
a brittle crisp and fed. The pot
licker' is saved and fed with a little
bran and all Of this the chickens eat

American people for fresh eggs,
broilers and roasters insures the
permanence and prosperity of this
industry. The demand is already
far greater than the supply and the
price of poultry will continue to ad-
vance. Almost every state expert
ment station has and is carrying on
valuable experiments In poultry: and
to-day far greater results are obtained
than was only a few years ago. The
hen which only laid in the spring and
summer in all about Is or 100 eggs
per year finds no place on the modern
poultry farm. Quite a number OF
poultry raisers are getting from $50 to
200 eggs per year and are arranging
tins for their entire flock. Some are

getting better results. In the Ma.
tional egg laying contest, almost every
breed being represented, Plymouth
Rock hen laid 200 eggs within eight
months, while the hens of the Rhode
Island Reds are in the iead as egg
producers. On the Old Virginia
Poultry Farm, Lawrenceville, Virginia,
a Rhode Island Red pullet Matched
April 2S, 1911 laid her first egg on
November LIST, and continued all
though the summer and winter. Even
during the molterlng period she laid
an average of II eggs per month. 1t
is the opinion of the writer that she
has already exceeded the 200 egg
mark. The pullets of the famous
F. F. V. strain of Rhode Island Reds
bred on this farm. Matched any time
during March and April will lay in
the fall as sure as fall is to come and
will be found good winter layers. The
breeder on this farm makes a speciality
of breeding for eggs.
Don't buy you eggs and chickens
when you a raise them in return
for your table scraps. Buy the best
you can afford from reputable breeders.
They are the cheapest in every
way. Pure bred poultry consumes
no mor food than the scrub stock;
can be housed just as cheap, will lay
more eggs; grow more rapidly; COM
mand a higher price and have a ready

GETTING EGGS FROM TABLE
SCRAPS.


This article is not intended for the
experienced poultry raiser; but it is
written with a view of encouraging
more persons to adopt poultry raising
as a profitable mean of utilizing the
waste form the table. Almost any
man or woman can devote from half
an hour to two hours per day to a
small flock of birds and they will pay
well for the time spent in their ear
Get rid of needless dogs and cats and
turn your table scraps into money,
You do not need a great amount of
knowledge, experience, space or money
to begin on this plan. Any one who
can use a hammer and saw can build
a poultry house and any old timber,
dry goods or piano box will do for ma
terial. You should decide for your
self the kind of birds you like best.
This having been done, you should
try to "love them" Don't change un-
less you have good reasons, but stick
to them AMI learn them. For egg pro-
duction, broilers and roasters com
bined the Rhode Island Reds are con-
sidered hard to beat. There are
other good utility varieties which do
well but the writer has gotten the best
results from the Reds.
The number of birds you should
keep will depend largely upon the
amount of scraps available. For a
start l would suggest five hens and
a cock: and if you find you have

Now that the election Is over it is
to be hoped that the differences in
opinion manifested by the colored no
liticians will not cause any permanent
arrangements OF friendships. Let us
nope that the choice of the people has
e a wise one-that u country will
continue to flourish, prosper and. most
OF all, that u animosities and jeaI-
ousies will not cause us to condemn
without trial the new administration.
The issues of the campaign have been
presented squarely to the people and
ample time given for careful delibera-
ton as to what was best for the ma.
nation. Everything that has a begin
ming must likewise have an end. If
the disastrous defeat of the Republican
party means the passing of that crgan-
%ization, let all fair-minded men accent
it as the natural evolution of politics
and set to work, in the event the new.
ly elected administration does not
meet the approval of the people. to
build over its bier a new and greater
one. Political economy is taught
best by the mistakes of others. The
failure of policies, reforms, principles
and issues all blaze the safe trail and
shorter route to the f perfection of
ideals in government. There is no
reason why any citizen should assume
that the new President will not profit
by the mistakes of his predecessors.

of the country into even good gravel
roads, That this is desirable few will
gainsay, and that it is becoming nec-
essary under modern conditions and
the relations now existing between
producer and consumer is also quite
generally admitted. The increased cost
of hauling over unimproved roads is
an immense tax upon the farmer and
those who purchase his products, and
is a restriction on the crops which
can be raised and moved in certain
localities.
The Interstate Commerce commits
sion finds that two hundred and sixty
five million tons of agricultural, forest
and miscellaneous products of the
land are hauled to depots for ship
ment in the course of year. Figured
on basis of the average haul at the
lowest average rate over unimproved
roads, % cents per ton per mile, the
cost would be four-hundred-thirty
two millions, four hundred thousand
dollars. II the hauling could be re,
duced to one-half the present average
or IL 1sc a ton, the resultant saving
would exceed $2OO.0OO.0OO a year.
That such a saving is reasonable is
indicated by the experiences in other
countries and in localities where i'm
proved roads are found. The cost of
hauling on such improved roads is
placed at from to 10 cents per ton.
The introduction of wise and equit
able road laws and good business
management would, it is estimated,
save forty million dollars more in the
administration of the country's roads
