A reliable wholesale market of
quick and cheap access is the
very life of a large commercial
egg plant; and this talk about
a fancy retail trade, fine labels,
parcel post, and so on, though it
may apply to those with a limit
ed amount Of poultry and an UNI
limited amount Of time, is mere
chaff to the egg farmer proper.
In the branch farm system of
marketing eggs, headed by a
man of exceptional business tai
ent and run upon highly system
atized methods, the cost Of retail
delivery after the eggs reach
New York city average six
cents a dozen. Then there are
the retail credits with their per-
centage Of loss; for, though poul-
try and eggs are considered a
cash business, in regular trade
there must be more or less Of at
least monthly credits.
The best means Of carrying a
business through market fluctua-
tions and seasons Of depression is
the production of a large amount
of first-class products at the least
possible cost. All large CONNER
cial poultry farmers are agreed
that economy of production is Of
more Importance than exception
ally high prices for the product.
This does not mean to skimp
anywhere, but by good judgment
in management and by simplicity
in methods to reduce expenses,
especially labor, to their lowest
terms. BY M. R. James.

BEAVERS BUILD DAM
ACROSS JIM RIVER

Jamestown, N. d., Dec. 90
A family Of beavers, the number
not being known, have finished
the building Of a very neat and
complete dam across the Jim
river just southwest Of the asy-
lum bridge. The beaver have
been protected carefully and hav
so far been able to work unde-
tected during their building oper
tons at night. The dam has bee
visited by a number Of people
and all admire the skilful con-
struction Of the dam, which is now
about three feet high and affords
a footing to cross the river. A
number of stumps and trees cut
down by the industrious little
animals show the extent Of .their
work. H"
There are very few beaver
along the Jim river at present,
although in early days it was
known as one of the best trapp-
ing streams in the northwest, and
trappers, both the French and
Indians, made big hauls Of fur
along the banks of the Jacques
river, as the stream was former
ly called.

EGGS FOR MARKET
THE YEAR AROUND

In raising poultry for the egg
yield the first point is. to So
cure foundation stock Of consti-
tutional vigor; strong vitality, and
al inherited tendency to winter
egg production. The Importance
Of th;. last rnu,,irem: ut is likely
to i5o overlooked. In the spring
all tens even weakly and sick
~ ones will lay, and the ma
jority Of healthy hens will con-
tinue at least internationally
through the summer and possibly
into the early fall; but only a
few hens will lay through the
late fall and early winter. 1t is
not altogether a matter Of mott
ing in the case Of the former
class, as the hens that have mott
ed early and are through with it
by October are likely to be the
very ones that VI slow in pro-
ducing high-priced eggs. During
December the tenor Of the ques-
tons from poultry raisers runs
largely thus: "My hens complet-
ed their molt in September; they
are well cared for and look fine,
but l get no eggs; the same is
true Of my pullets. Why don't
these fowls lay?"
A bulletin issued by the Maine
experiment STATEN entitled, Mode
of Inheritance Of Fecundity in
flvls, says -. its summary on the
experiment that it has been found
that bird fall into thee classes
in respect to winter laying: Birds
with high winter egg records,
birds with low winter records,
and birds that do not lay at all
in the winter period. Obviously,
the inheritance by the stock Of
the factor of winter egg produc-
ton, which is but another name
for high fecundity in general, is
Of vital Importance in egg farm
ing.
The next point is to breed for
high fecundity and to keep the
flock up to a high degree Of
health and activity. In the ex-
pertinent already referred to it
has teen found that high fecund-
ity in pullets is inherited more
directly from the males than
from the females; therefore it
is important that the male breed
ere of the flock be sons Of hens
possessing this trait. Equally inn
portant is the maintenance Of
health in the general flock. The
theory is sometimes advanced
that cit pays to get all the eggs
out of the hen in one year" by
drug stimulants and forcing
foods. Such attempts are fatal
to a successful egg yield. The
result IS small eggs, aDnOrMal
eggs, ovarian diseases and even
tually no eggs Even in the mat
ter Of foods too much animal
food, oil meals, fine ground mill
stuffs, and other rich forcing ra-
tions, tend to digestive and liv-
er troubles.
In addition to the right strain
Of stock kept in the right way,
. profitable egg business de-
ponds upon these additional
points: A regular output Of eggs
at all seasons Of the year; . re-
liable wholesale market; economy
il production and marketing.
Many egg farmers are shut
ont from the first-cla@ market
through inability to supply rea-
sonsble output ding the season
Is scarcity, covered BY the months months

SHANKLAND WILL
TRIM THE CORNERS
Author Of Bill Providing the Ballot to
Grant Saloon Consent is alter
ina Measure.

Des Moines, Feb. tative
Frank S. Shankland is working hard
on his bill putting saloon consent petit
ton to secret vote, trying to get it to
suit more members of the house before
it is presented.
II find that there are objections to
certain features Of the bill" said Mr..
Shankland this morning and I am anx-
ious to correct these There are peo-
pie who believe that colonization will
be possible under the Shankland bill
and that the saloon people could rush
in a number Of voters and carry any
county. I shall correct that by pre-
scribing heavier penalties for illegal
voting and also providing for registra-
ton"
d There are those who believe that
the Shankland bill would permit the
saloon fights to come up all over Iowa
every two years and create terrible
local disturbance In many towns. |
hope to correct this objection by pre-
vidirg that when saloon consent has
been turned down twice in any coun-
ty it may not be brought up again for
four Or six years.
"The cost Of election is being dis
cussed. I expect to fix the bill SO that
costs will be borne by the saloon peo-
pie or at least a part of them. and
shall provide how this shall be done. "
Mr.. Shankland intimated this morn
ing that he might be busy for q week
or two yet knocking of the corners
Of the famous Shankland bill.
