AGRICULTURAL THE PROFIT IN POULTRY. A profitable business in poultry re- quires-more capital, says the Poultry Keeper, than may be expected by those who anticipate making money in this pursuit. The bright side is always held in View, but the difficulties are un- seen until too late to rectify mistakes. Any merchant Who places his capital in his business is satisfied with a mod- erate dividend. He will first charge himself with the interest on his capital and if he realizes a clear profit of 9ten per cent, he will feel himself ina pros- perous condition. This means $160 per year on every 31,000 invested. He will make a large profit when he has a large amount invested. He could not live on his business if he had only a few thousands in it, as the profits would be too small a sum total, though really proportionately large, unless he could double his profits by “turning his capital over” several times during the year. : milks them, but many of the heifers that have. the making of the grandest cows in the country need just such 31:111- ful man ement as I have descrrbed or they Wil be ruined. All men who have handled cowsjlmow that a herter Will generally gNe :down her Imlk more readily for her calf. than for any person. Only a short time ago . a man applied to me for ad'Vice. He had a very high-priced thoroughbred J erâ€" sey heifer that utterl ' refused to glve any milk after her cal‘ was taken away. Her udder was terribly congested. I advised him to follow the plan here out- lined. He. did so and partially succeed- ed in savmg the heifer, though it is not likely she will ever be the cow she would have been if the management had been right at. first. Compare the poultry man with the merchant. Those who venture into Doultry raising with the expectation of “making a living" on a capital of $1;- 000 are looking forward to nearly 100 per cent profit. Many persons have such expectations, and are disappointed if they do not realize a large profit the first year, and that, too, when they do not know one breed of fowls from another, and knon nothing of manage- ment. \ Supposing that $1,000 is needed to sup- DOI‘t a family, then the capital invested must necessarily correspond with the desired profit. Allowing that a hen should pay a profit of $1 per year, 1,000 hens will be required, and the first year they must be purchased at fifty cents each. Their food will cost about $750, and the buildings, fences and ap- pliances about $1,000. Some help will also be necessary, and the investment amounts to $3,000â€"a low estimate. Large sums are necessary in making large profits with poultry as in man- ufacturing. The capitalist who real- izes a profit of ten per cent on an in- vestment of $20,000 may be able to prosper, while his neighbor on a profit of twenty per cent on $1,000 may fail ;â€" the neighbor, though making a larger proportionate profit, could not exist on the small sum obtained from his limit- ed capital. There have been but few instances in which any large sums have been invested in the poultry business. The difficulty with the few who have placed large amounts of capital in poul- try is that they have invested too much in elaborate buildings and ornamental appliances rather than.in the practi- cal side of the business. The poultry business is one of the most uncertain, and no one can succeed until ’he becomes educated toa knowl- edge of all its details. Neither can one entrust. his enterprise to another. Dis- ease. vermin, overfeeding, improperly constructed buildings, and other causes, will all combine to reduce the profits. It is really a business in the strictest sense of the term, and the capital must be managed with brains. Success does not even attend the merchant when he does not fully understand his business. But few capitalists are ready to make a special business of poultry, for it is a pursuit that does not. allow capital and labor to be separated. To those of limit- ed means, the poultry business offers excellent Opportunities, but no mar- velous results, and no ninety per cent profits must be expected. ; l No one should leave a position to which he is well fitted in order to em- bark in the poultry business. The farm- er is just as competent to fill a posi- tion in the city as one without experi- ence is fitted for managing a poultry farm. Such mistakes have often been disastrous, and it is of no advantage to induce anyone to take risks of loss. The first essential is experience, for with- out it capital and labor Will be: wasted. The best way to enter the poultry business is to begin with a small flock and gradually enlarge, the object be- ing to learn, andfilso to breed far the kind of fowh deemed.

Sisters of Mercy at Tilburg, this being the first occasion on which this decoration has been conferred upon a woman. On the Isle of Man there is grief at the death of Joseph Mylchreest, gold- seeker, diamond miner, and philan- thropist, and Hall Caine writes that “ his life was an inspiration to honest, faithful, and upright effort.” Myl- chreest sold his share in the claims of the De Beers Consolidated Company to Cecil Rhodes for $600,000. Then, putting large gangs of men to work night and day, he cleaned up all the couldâ€"“a fabulous amount of mater- ial”â€"â€"before the time when the con- tract was to go into effect. Lord Salisbury is fond of relating the tale of “The Small Barber of Ports- mouth.” Some years.ago Lord Salis- bury had occasion to enter into a bar- ber’s shop in a suburb of the “Naval City.” The tonsorial artist recognized his customer, for when his Lordship passed the shop two or three days af- ter the event he was surprised and am- used to find a placard in the 'window bearing the following notice:-“ Hair cut, 3 pence; with the same scissors as I cut Lord Salisbury’s hair, 6 pence.” Following the example of his cousin, Duke Karl of Bavaria, Prince Ludwig Ferdinand has begun to practise as a physician, and has office hours every day in the hospital of the Red Cross, in Munich.
