The Hen and Her
Cost of Maintenance
Versus the Cow
Interesting Facts and Figures Con-
corning Fowl and Beast-Note on
Standard Revision Committee.

Edited by JUDGE ?. J. MARSHALL.
BY a comparison Of the intrinsic
value Of the individual hen and her
cost Of maintenance we find that, tax
ing into consideration the value Of
each, the net profit from the hen ex-
ceeds that from the COW. Forty good
laying hens are worth about the same
as the average dairy COW, considered
In the light of practical utility only
Forty good utility pullets given good,
fair average treatment viii give a
profit for d year Of at least $50 net,
taken at a low estimate for price Of
eggs at that If-you would go to work
and give them special or scientific
care the proceeds would be largely
Increased. Now where IS the average

the assertion that they win not net
their owners more than half that
amount make this assertion not for
the encouragement Of dairy interests
in the South, not by any manner Of
means. for we need increased dairy in
the South. There is ample room for
both the poultry and dairy business,
but let II be known by those who have
been inclined TO think slightly Of the
poultry part that it needs no over
estimation at my hands. The little in

demonstrate her ability along these

Railway Dividends
Decline in Mexico
Political Troubles Have Depressing
Effect on the Value Of Dollar
Mex"

LONDON, Nov l5--The effect Of
the political troubles in Mexico is
portrayed in the dividend declared
for the half year to June 30 last by
the directors of the Mexican Vera
CRUZ Railway
II will be remember that this com
pany has done very well during the
recent troubles because It has re-
ceived good deal Of traffic, which
otherwise would have gone over 9TH
er lines The result was that the
earnings for the half year would have
been sufficient to pay dividend at
the rate of a rs per cent had other
things been equal But they We're
not.
The money FOR payment OF the div
idepd to stockholders has To be sent
from Mexico City to London and
owing to the severe fan i'm exchange
instead OF a dividend OF 4 rs per cent
the stockholders are receiving pay
ment at the rate Of only 2 IL per
cent for the six months.
The value Of the Mexican dollar
has dropped from - pence to rs
pence, which means that in Compari-
son with this time last year every
dollar OF profit has to be cut down by
20 per cent before it's value to stock
holders can be estimated Previous
to the overthrow OF President Diaz
the stockholders had been able for
many years 20 rely on the stability of
exchange.
