LABOR INCOME FROM POULTRY

:.
Poultry keeping certainly does pay
well for the investment and labor re-
quired, as records kept by some St.
Francois county poultry raisers show,
A number of these records are avail
able in the Farm Bureau office. The
records are very simple and are cas-
lily understood Yet, it is complete
enough to show to any one whether a
profit is secured or loss sustained in
keeping poultry. Short records. that
show the cost and the receipts of an
enterprise, appeal to the farmers.
Among other farmers in the county
keeping poultry records is ]. S. Fergu-
son, whose address is Mine La Motto.
and who lives near the Cross Roads
school house. Although he is not
satisfied with his work during the past
year, still he knows he has received
interest on his investment and secured
good pay for the time he has spent in
this work--a statement that many
farmers cannot make in regard to,
their enterprise. The reason more
farmers cannot say this is two-fold.
The first one is that they have not
paid the interest on the investment as
they have produced at loss. The
other reason is that they do not keep
records of cost production, and unless
the gain or loss is great, they do not
know whether they made or lost on
the enterprise. 1t certainly should be
some satisfaction to farmer to know
that he has made good money on his
work as well as knowing how much.
Now this is just what Mr.. Ferguson
can do and he feels well paid for the
small amount of time he spent keep
ing his records and for feeding ac-
cording to some well known practice
that has been thoroughly proved to be
successful
Although Mr.. Ferguson's equip
ment is not expensive, yet it con-
forms to most of the essentials Of a
good poultry farm where a small fam
lily size flock is kept to aid in the fam
lily income. These essentials are:
plenty of light, good ventilation, no
draught3 and south front. He real
ICES that some more improvements in
his equipment are necessary for the
best returns and is taking steps to i'm
prove them.
Mr.. Ferguson started in the years
work with eighty mature hens, seven
} breeding males. and fifty pullets. He
fed corn, oats, barley, wheat, meat
scraps and milk, to balance the ration
During the year, the size of the flock
varied as it increased from Matching
, off of broods and toward the end o.
! the year some of the hens were sold.
The total feed bin amounted tt
S14S.10. While the receipts amounte;
to S356.6O The inventory at the be
, ginning of the year was $16.l5 more
than at the end Of the year. Thi
leaves for interest on the inyestmen
and for the labor expended $l96.35.
This amount Of money receive
from this ENTERPRISE is undoubteal,
{ good. However, Mr.. Ferguson j
, planning on feeding as a scratch fee
e for this year. a mixture Of ten pound
4 Of corn and five pounds of oats. Will
y IS a dry mash he plans to feed thrs
Il pounds Of bran and three pounds o
shorts and one and one-half pounds e
meat scraps. This amount is to b
fed to ore hundred hens BY doin
y. this, he thinks he can make still rEo~.
II cr profits for the coming year.

Railroad and Transport Work CTS Threaten to Attempt to Force Government to Ne gotiate With the Miners.

y
 London, Get. 21.-(By the A. P.)-The cabinet discussed tonight the grave sit uation arising out Of the threat. of the railroad and transport workers to force the government to negotiate with the miners. Whether any deciaion was reached was not disclosed up to 10:3 o'clock.
 Two grave questions are exercising the political and industrial world. The first, to what extent the labor leaders are losing control of the workers; second whether a political crisis and an appeal to the country will develop out Of the miners dispute.
 It is state that James Henry Thom- as. general secretary of the National Union of Railwaymen. has exerted the greatest efforts to get the action taker by the railwaymen postponed for rev days but that his influence was over borne
