and moral littleness. Lord Rosebery
dwelt on the charm Of courtesy and
the importance of good manners in
the ordinary transactions Of life. Even
in commerce and trade. as he said,
good and good appearance
have a distinct value. The well-man-
nered boy is more likely to get a Job.
the well-mannered agent or salesman
is more likely to obtain orders and
permanent customers.
Why. then does our age neglect
manners? Why do not parents at
home and teachers at school instill
and exempiify the value Of good man.
ners? Why not revive the gospel of
courtesy" The question is not one Of
scraping and bowling, Of empty cere-
monies. of circunlocution and hlather.

selection ne should get that many.
Well. twelve dozen eggs at 40 cents
would net $3.50 per year for each hen.
At half a cent a day for feed. the
penses, or a profit per hen Of So.
There Is a deduction to be made
from this, however. that Is not al
ways thought of-that is, the ROSTERS.
They must be fed as we'll as the hens.
Therefore. If we have one rooster to
every twelve hens, we must subtract
that $3.50 from the $36 those. twelve
hens would bring us. Instead Of SO
we would really have only $2.s5 profit
per hen.
These figures show us that We must,
in order to keep our profit at high
water mark, get rid Of the drones. II
We are careless with our stock. and
do not keep it in the best condition.

as many eggs as the others will mate

improper feeding, against unclean

should not keep more birds than We
can properly handle.
There is another lesson taught by
the figures. It is that If surplus
cockerels are kept on the plant for
too long a time they will eat into our
profits. At this time of the year We
should have eaten or sold all the cock
erels we do not need. It is now no
longer profitable to feed them. and
| besides they are taking up the room
needed by the pullets.
1t must be remembered also that the
profits described do not include the
possibility of selling eggs for hatch
ing. when, instead Of getting 40 cents
per dozen, we get anywhere from a
dollar to IS for fifteen. neither does
it take into account the sale Of baby
chicks. These figures are food for
thought for those thinking Of going
into the chicken business.

As these are the dull days in the
chicken business, 1t might be well to
talk a little on the subject of profit
In poultry. So many men, and per-
haps some women, are duped by the
alluring advertisements that read
something like $4,000 from hundred
chickens. and how to get it" that
can be told with good effect.
Don't let n n mislead you into
the belief that you can feed chickens
on 8 cents worth of food a month.
You can't do it probably. Such an
amount of food would be starvation
for the birds. A breeder who at
tempted it would lose in egg produc-
ton. The figure to be relied upon
If all the food has to be bought is
Is cents a month: in other words, half
a cent a day. This figure will be re-
duced a trife with birds On free
range, where they are able to pick up
never reach a quarter of a cent a day.
The income per bird must be figured
according to the market at which we
sell u eggs, and the number of eggs
laid in a year per hen. A mar who
commutes to the city every day and
sells to private customers, or who sells
at his door in a fairly good COM
munity, will average, say 20 cents a
dozen. He need not worry about
selling the eggs, either. People are
willing to pay a good price for eggs
that are only a day or two from the
hen.
For the man who is compelled to
sell his eggs at wholesale. of course.
the average per dozen will be less.
But the man who is selling wholesale

ing with the man who is using his
poultry plant of. say. a hundred or
more chickens, as a side line, or who
'contemplates doing so.
Let us take for granted that he
gets twelve dozen eggs per year from
each hen (and with proper care and
