demand, and those of fine quality
sell at very satisfactory prices. Fur
ther, they are concentrated and val
liable, and so may economically be
shipped to distant markets if neces-
sary.
A poultry plant may be established
on very moderate investment. At
the start the beginner may, and usu-
ally should, be content to work with
a few fowls which will require but
little land and house room and a
small amount of time. AS experience
is gained and profits warrant, the
extent of the operations may be in
creased until ones whole attention Is
given to the business.
Quick Returns on Investment.
The returns on the investment of
time and capital are secured quickly,
and the products are distributed over
the greater part of the year, insur-
ing steady income. In many agri-
cultural lines one is compelled to
wait for long period before any re-
turns begin to come in, and frequent
ly the entire crop is marketed at one

time, and there is no further income
until another harvest Is gathered.
The work is healthful and not par
ticularly hard. In fact, 1t may be
performed by people of either sex.
This does not mean that the poultry
man has little to do, but rather that
his duties are seldom of a character
which might be termed hard labor.
Properly managed. flock of poul-
try rapidly increases the fertility OF
home place or farm, thereby enhanc-
ing their value and making possible
the production of larger crops. Many
rundown tracts of tillable land have
in this way been improved and made
valuable.
But there are disadvantages as
well, and the prospective poultryman
cannot afford to ignore these. the
work, though not heavy, must be
properly attended to every day. On
many poultry farms the owner must
work long honrs, seven days in the
week, especially during the busy sea-
son, when chicks are being hatched
and reared. Many persons chafe un-

number is much larger than former
ly believed possible A few years ago
we considered the 200-egg hen a mar
vel, but the number of such layers
is now so large that they excite but
little comment.
The accompanying illustration
shows three hens that have made
most satisfactory yearly records at
laying competitions in the East. The
Rhode Island Red, bred in Pennsyl-
vania, laid 251 big, brown eggs. The
Single Comb White Leghorn, an Eng
lish bird, produced 2S2 eggs in 1912
13. This latter figure was exceeded
in 191314 by the Columbian Plym-
outh Rock, the property of New
Jersey breeder, who set her mark at
2S6 eggs.
But the Northwest has defeated
the world In the production of the
champion hen. The first 300-egg
hen Of which there is any record
was produced at the Oregon Agri-
cultural College Experiment Station.
Her record was 303 eggs in her first
II months Of laying A year later
there were few records mentioned
equalling or exceeding this, by pri-
vate breeders, but there are no rec
ords equalling that have been made
at public institutions or under Of
ficial supervision Of some kind. A
record Of 2S6 eggs was made at the
Missouri State Competition last
year
These notables in the poultry world
possess many characteristics in com.
mon, as abounding strength and
vigor, physical activity, tremendous
appetite and little tendency toward
broodiness.

tendency toward high production is
inherited, and that this characteristic
may be fixed and intensified through
the application of intelligent methods
of breeding.
From the available evidence one Is
safe in reaching the following con-
clusions: A hen that inherits a tend
ency toward low egg production will
hardly make a satisfactory record, no
matter how carefully she is housed,
fed and cared for. A hen that in
herits tendency toward high pro-
duction cannot do her best work un-
less properly handled. Therefore
maximum production is to be secured
only through the use Of both factors
In combination.
Intelligent breeding must be based
upon a knowledge of the perform
ance and pedigree of the individuals
used as breeding stock. This is as
true in the poultry field as in other
lines of livestock production. In the
poultry yard such knowledge is Sc
cured through the use of the trapnest
and a complete system of toe mark
ing or handling of the various indi-
viduals SO they may be positively
identified Such work takes time,
but 1t brings results.
Public laying competitions, first
instituted in America in 1911, have
done much toward interesting the
public in the laying capacity of in
dividual hens. Poultrymen are now
valuing their birds because of unusual
laying ability quite as much as for
perfection Of form and color, the
strictly fancy or exhibition points.
What Is the maximum number of
eggs a hen can lay in IL months
when all conditions are favorable?
This is an open question, but the

valued at hundreds of millions
of dollars, and this on an average
production of from 70 to so eggs per
layer. If this average could be 'dou-
bled, it would add tremendously to
our National wealth. Many students
of the subject are convinced that the
yield per hen can easily be consider
ably increased, possibly doubled, as
soon as our poultry keepers adopt
better methods of feeding and man
aging their flocks and pay closer at
tention to breeding.
An output Of 80 eggs per bird may
yield profit on general farms where
the fowls receive but scant attention
and rustic for most of their food. But
on commercial plants, where the cost
of feed, labor, interest on the invest
ment and other items of expense are
considered, flock Of 80-egg hens is
not profitable. This fact Is becom-
ing generally realized and business
poultrymen everywhere are making
a determined effort to speed up
their layers.
Egg production depends upon two
distinct factors-heredity and envir-
onment. Until very recently Ameri-
can poultrymen have emphasized the
latter and paid but scant attention to
the former. That such a course is
shortsighted must be apparent at a
glance when we take into considera-
tion many important facts which have
been brought out during recent years.
Careful Investigations conducted at
certain Of our agricultural expert
ment stations and the experience OF
a small group of progressive poultry
breeders have clearly shown that the

cialty, it is not necessarily conducted
exclusively on the farm. OF course,
practically all farmers keep flocks of
fowls, but untold numbers of dwellers
in city, town and village in all sec
tions of the country are actively en-
gagged in this work.
Poultry Keeping Universal.
So it may be said that poultry hus-
bandry is the universal agricultural
speciality, one that flourishes every
where, regardless of space, climate
and other limiting factors.
There are many sound reasons for
this general popularity. Among them
we mention a few of the more i'm
portant.
Primarily, poultry keeping is a
most interesting pursuit On the
poultry plant there is a new round
of duties each season, almost every
month. Hence there is not the
monotony about the work that is so
often experienced in other lines. And
at all times one is handling living
things which with their useful quail
ties combine beauty and grace.
