N sci? ‘ i jerk 01 equal weight. This is a big item’for the buyer when the stock comes from a distance by express. In the scmpd plgxcn. 02:13 1‘?“ .xn. the. most There are several reasons why it is best and cheapest for any one desiring to begin pure bred poultry breeding to buy fine eggs instead of fowls. In the 'first place, the express charge is only one-half as much on eggs as it is on Mia of equal weight. This is a big Poultry as a business and poultry for pleasure are different pursuits. In the first place there is labor that must be performed or paid for, and in the second the labor is not even considered. Begin atthe bottom and gradually extend your operations. By so doing you will learn as you enlarge and gradually reach a position from which success will be as- It is an old saying that before one can succeed with a large flock he must first learn to manage a small one. It is by being constantly with the flock and learning the peculiarities and characâ€" teristics of each individual that the novice becomes familiar with many de- tails to which he may be a stranger. It is but an easy portion of the duties to jeed a flock and collect the eggs. While we are prepared to claim that poultry pays better than anything else on the farm in proportion to capital in- vested, yet we believe that the beginner should be careful. N o inexperienced person can launch 05 into success. He must learn, and to do so he must begin at the bottom. A beginner knows noth- ing of the breeds; he has never met a contagious disease, and he has no con- oeption of the many details of manage- ment that will stare him in the face and cause him many little vexations and disappointments. Like all other occupations, there is always a possibili- ty of heavy loss, and no one is exempt. No experienced person in any branch of business will accept risks unless there is a possibility of gain, and the inexperienced person performs an indis- creet act by venturing into business without first considering the conse- quences of a mistake. While the novice sees the basket of eggs as the result of keeping poultry he knows nothing of the diseases to be encountered, the care to be given and the labor necessary to be bestowed before the desire can be consummated. A Few “'ords of \Vamiug to the Am- bitious Beginners. Many persons who desire to go into the poultry business as a relief from some other pursuit make the mistake of investing a large amount of mum-y without knowing whether they at i right or wrong in so doing. It is safe to assert that the majority of the persons composing this class have not lived on farms, says The Poultry Keeper, and derived their partial knowledge of poul- try from what they have seen. They are accustomed to witnessing the ease with which the hens seem to secure the pick- ings of the farm, a poultry house of a rude kind is visible, and the lady who holds the position as the farmer's wife gives an occasional feed. To the novice it is an easy and profitable way of mak- ing a living, being just the thing that has long been sought as a panacea for the ills of city life. There is mere to go. g ' 'u-u unma- ~~ ear “a Erma? W Vt; THE START IN POULTRY. 12:33 For Has Lowered Our Stock. """Ereen nono‘ m romn-y. Another great boom for the use of "green out bone as a poultry food is pass- ing over the country. It was long ago settled that this form of bone presents a very cheap source of “muscle makers” for the hen. As usual, any reference to this subject calls out questions ~from those who want to know if the out bone will not make a good tertilizer.’ f'l'he green bones out up much easier than the dry ones, and also contain more ni- trogen because of their meat and grime. \ Soft food will tend to the production of eggs at the expense of health, but the exclusive use of hard food will tend to keep the hens from laying. Both kinds of food should be given if the beat re- sults are desired. Whole grain alter- nated with milk, meat and vegetables will make the hens productive and nrnfl tabla _ .__,_.. m .A-- n.â€" If the hens are confined in order to protect the garden, they must have a daily supply of chopped grass. Too much grain will cause them to become overfat, and fewer eggs will be ob- tained. The best egg producing food is lean meat. peas, etc., for them to scratch in and feed upon. On the large establishments, where hundreds of ducks are raised, the prin- cipal food for ducks is cooked turnips, With a small proportion of ground grain. Ducks and turnips are adjuncts to each other on the duck farms, for without turnips the ducks could not be made to lay so well. Pigeons on the Farm. There is nothing more attractive to a boy on a form than a flock of pigeons, says a writer in Farm N ows, and there is no farm on which a few might not be kept. The common variety is easily ob- tained, and they will take care of them- selves if given a nesting place. They are quite prolific, breeding four or five times a year, two birds being hatched at a. time. The young make nice stews. and the old ones made into a potpie are a dish fit for a king. Much amusement may be got from the fancy sorts, such as poutors, tumblers, fantails, trumpet- ers and homers. We have kept all sorts and found ready sale for them at good prices. The squabs are always in good demand. and the old pigeons bring a good price always in the markets. It costs but very little to keep them, as they pick up most of their living about the farm. They make nice pets and serve a good purpose in keeping boys in- terested in the farm. Poultry Points. The conditions for raising chickens after hatching from an incubator are: All the out of door room they want, good housing, pure spring water, with ground sown to wheat, rye, buckwheat, cnezce rowxs may he had at areasoname priceâ€"say 13 eggs for the price of one fowl in the yards where the eggs come from. If a fancier values his fowls at $5 each, he will likely put the price of their eggs at. $5 a sitting. Thirteen eggs from birds of that class would like- ly give the buyer, with ordinary suc- cess, a half a dozen chickens, each one of which would average at least one- half the original cost of the eggs, while more than likely there will be one or two chickens in the lot which are alone worth the price of the e ggs.
