THE POULTRY BUSINESS
AND ITS POSSIBILITIES
(By C. d. Bassett)

The poultry business is an old one,
but only within the past few years
have the full possibilities of the in.
dustry been realized. No one can pre-.
dict the future, or even guess what
great opportunities remain undevel-
oped as yet in this particular line.
Notwithstanding the many large
hatcheries throughout the United
States and other countries, the price
of poultry and eggs is almost prohib-
tive.
We have in this country many large
companies like the Cypress company
of New York, with 2OO,0OO-egg hatch
cry at one filling. These eggs are
mostly the product of their $4,000 lay
ing hens. This company employs only
twelve men to care for their poultry.
and yet we find the egg and poultry
market in New York is from 3 to S
cents higher than any other Califor-
mia also has some large poultry COM
panies. One. company matches $4,000
and has only 10000 laying hens. They
employ only four men to care for the
plant. There also are many other
poultry concerns in California, and
still the price of poultry and eggs is
always high. -
In spite of all this evidence. the gen.
eral public is slow to realize the great
possibilities of poultry raising. There
is no other business known to
man which offers such sure and large
profit Possibly it is because SO few
people understand the poultry busi-
ness. The writer has had some valu-
able experience in this line and have
been called on to answer some Pc
culiar questions concerning it.
In my next article l shall confne
myself to discussion of poultry; how
to start, location, in fact, everything
necessary in order to succeed in this
line of business. l will answer all
questions about the business and give
my advice free to readers of the Phoe-
nix Tribune. Write c. d. Bassett,
