poultry. 10 is apparent that some
families must necessarily eat much
more freely Of both poultry and eggs
than is indicated by even these high
est averages The maximum cone
sumption OF eggs Tor individual Fam
lilies would run from six 20 ten dozen
"a week. and OF poultry from -FOUR 20
six head a week These are not eL-
cessive Quantities Of poultry and eggs
FOR a go0d-siEed farm family. and a
general adoption OF such practice
would be beneficial TO the people who
live on farms. because it would give
them a greater variety OF diet than
they are accustomed TO. would insure
fresh meat FOR az least half the meals
and wouId make the basic cured meat
diet or the average farm family less
mouotonous and, therefore, more BEN
ehciaL
More Money For Fewer Eggs.
The consumption OF eggs on farms
may be greatly increased. while the
farm housewife may sriH receive the
benefit OF sood prices for fresh eggs
in the season OF scan- production
Indeed, such system can be worked
out in q way that viii net the farm
woman more clear money on her eggs
for the year than II she sold them on
the generally slipshod false economy
system, without consuming any con-
siderable quantity Of them at home
That would be true because the entire
home consumption would be from
eggs laid during the period Of heavy
production and low prices, while all
Of the eggs laid during periods OF
scaut production and high prices
would be sold. such a system would
work taEcously not only for
farm families. but for city people as
we'll because 10 would give them
larger supply at possibly more mod
crate prices during the months when
the production OF eEEs IS not album

iu any sense difficult. The trouble
incurred IS not commemorate with
the money benefit derived. 20 say
nothing OF the possibly greater bens-

the family. All that has 20 be done

Make Fat Months Provide for Lean Ones; Housewife
May Feed the Family Twice as Many Eggs as Usual
and Still Realize as Much Net Annual Profit
From the Poultry Products.

II any American family is genuinely
i entitled 90 the luxury OF eating
literally o. poultry and eggs. that
family IS the farm family. Yet the
fact remains that farm families are
not and have never been liberal con
sumers Of either poultry or eggs.
For the whole country the average
yearly consumption Of eggs per farm
is only 157 1-2 dozen. which would be
about 21-2 dozen a week The aver
age yearly consumption OF poultry per
farm is SO head. about one bird a
week. IN a few states, OF course. the
average consumption runs above
these averages. The highest average
consumption OF eggs in any state IS
four dozen per week ner family. and
the highest consumption o. poultry in
any state is about three birds a week
per family.
