Progressive lIarrner.)

In the corn belt States it is relia-
bly, stated that the average farm
flock Of poultry numbers nearly 1870.
while in the cotton belt the average
is not more than 20 or 25 to the
farm. In the corn belt the average
annual income per farm worker is
double that OF the average in the cot
ton belt.
Now there may not be any ncces-
sary connection between these two
facts, but to us 1t looks very much
like there is, and very important
connection, at that. The truth, we
believe. is that the greater earning
power Of the Northern and Western
farmer Is due to the fact that he
makes every edge cut; he cashes in
OH every opportunity. He uses labor
saving machinery; he uses more
horsepower ard less human labor;
and 'he uses cattle. hogs and chick
cns. all his farm will carry. to clean
up the waste products and put them
III marketable form.
The Northern and Western farmer
long ago learned that a goodly flock
OF hens is the best kind of insurance
against store accounts at credit
prices, and lie accordingly makes
"bidGy" pay the grocery bill. with
some to spare. Judging from the few
nondescrirt hens found on a great
many cotton belt farms. we have yet
to learn this lesson. and right now,
in the early months OF 1916, is a
splendid time to be about it.
In the first place, let's understand
Hthnt I.N
doesn't keep a big flock OF hens be-
cause he has better climate than
we for chickcn-raising. If anything,
the reverse should be true. Our win
ters are mild. and there Is not a farm
in the South that cannot have some
thing green growing every day in the
year.
Nor do we believe it to be due to
lack Of 4 INA rkct in the South for
chickens and eggs. We don't know
OF Il community anywhere in which
these products are not salablc practiz
cally every day in the year. They are
almost us staple as cotton. True.
better results would come from mar
keting comparatively and in large
lots. but chickens and eggs in any
"rantity can practically always be
sold, and generally at prices that will
afford a profit.
The carrying Of not less than fifty
laying hens on every farm in the
South is easily possible and would
each year add many millions of dol
lars to our wealth. A really good
hen should lay $50 eggs year; but
If we make each farm llock Of so
hens average 90 eggs a year for each
hen, we have total of 5000 eggs,
or | dozen. worth. at an average of
20 cents Il dozen. $S3 20,-an amount
amply sufficient to buy all the -four,
coffee. sugar, salt. etc, needed, with
some to spare. Of course with good
manag ,ment there is no reason why
this amount might not be materially
Increased.
Why not let's make this one Of our
l?lG slogans: 'Fifty Hens for Every
Southern Farm? Such flock, we'll
cared for, will convert waste pro
ducts into markctab BILE meat and eggs,
and will be a big step forward toward
a lire-at lhome policy and emancipa-
ton from time prices"

with cough. A cough is danger

but should cure the disease that causes
