THE LUXURY Of A
PEN Of THOROUGHBREDS
Written by G. R. Smith, Malvera, Pa.
The ten-thousand-layer plant is
still the great exception. Immense
advance has been made along bigbusi
ness lines during the last quarter of
a century. But it is still the people
at large who are doing the most at
poultry culture. Practically every
farmer keeps from 50 to 500, . and
countless numbers of back-lotters are
doing their delightful bit with small
flocks.
A dealer in poultry meat of all
kinds told me in Philadelphia the
other (lay that it is Almost impossi
ble to buy any poultry meat today.
I asked him why, and his reply was
that poultry keepers were going out
of business because of high cost of
feed. He said he was breaking just
about even, that is, he was not mak
ing more than half a cent a. pound on
the poultry meat that he was handl
ing. I made lue allowance for his
pessimistic view of the situation, and
was yet able to seg that conditions
are serious from one point of view,
and very interesting from another
point of view.
Things are much upside down in
all department:, the world over. Lit
tle wonder that poultry culture should
feel the impact of the tidal wave of
unrest and uncertainty. But let us
not blunder. Opportunity is at the
door of thousands. The fact that so
many are giving the business up, or
cutting down their stock, should be
a hig reason why others should hold
on. If diamonds were as numerous
as vhite beans they would be as
cheap. When nine of every ten poul
trymen close up business, the tenth
man will have the opportunity of a
life time, ie will have the article
that is useful, necessary, and scarce.
Will the egg and the broiler and
the roaster and, the capon dlisappear
from the Amaerican table? "Not on
your life!"' The man who has them
for saile in the coming (lays will be
lucky.
Every man who can should keep
a pen~ of thoroughbreds for the pleas
uare of it if for nothing else. Yes,
the hody is more than raime'nt andl
the life is more' than food, Let's have
some of nature's real beauties about
to give us joy and make us appre
(eiate the glory ot living.
L~ook at a rose. or a carnation! You

who doesn't feel that it pays to raise
them ? Look at a fine .standard bred
fowl. -Isn't she.beautiful! What a
pleasure to own her, to care for her!
Put a dozen or more into a well kept,
well eqtuipped poultry house. Where
did you ever see a bed of flowers
quite so interesting? The thing call
ed "chicken fever" is merely the con
stant emotion of pleasure and admi
ration reaching to the pinnacle of
pure joy at times which comes to the
man who gets into the best there is
after all in the raising if fine fowls.
And then there is what we might
call a patriotic privilege. I call it a
"privilege" because we are inclined to
think of patriotism as a duty to be
performed even against our wills, or
a sacrifice to be made. The keeping
of a pen of beautiful standard-bred
fowls I count a privilege, a chance
to win at both ends of the line,-"for
home and native land."
"Who wouldn't be patriotic at 4
per cent.?" some one has~asked. Sure'
enough! Well, who couldn't be patri
otic if it would mean the perennial
pleasure and profit that are bound to
flow from keeping a fine flock of
standard bred fowls ?
The patriotism will consist in add
ing rather a big "bit" to the much
needed supply of meat and eggs at
this time in the awful stress of the
nations. Every one of a flock of 15
layers should produce 150 eggs every
twelve months, making a grand total
of 2250. This is no small item for the
common backlotter to cast. into the
world's meat basket.
Consider, too, the luxury of fresh
eggs for one's own table 365 (lays
of the year.
Fresh! One must have experience
to appreciate this point. The house
wife who has never used anything
but stale eggs, taking it for grantedl
that from one to five eggs in every
dloxen should be expected to be oflf
flavor or positively bad, cannot know
the luxury of strictly fresh eggs
every day of the year,--eggs that
are laid the same (lay that they are
usedl if you please,-eggs that are
still wvarm from the heat of the hen's
body.
The people of wealth will have
nothing to do with any other kind of
eg.gs. They can aff'ordl to pay the
price andl will therefore have nothing
to do with the stale article. 'l1e

that are purchased, are necessarily
not up to the fine flavor and quality
of those that you gather fresh and
warm from your own little hen house.
This means that the uses of the Store
eggs are limited. They are good for
certain purposes; but for many other
purposes they will not do. We can
go to quite a limit with meat that
is slightly "sprung." We think noth
ing of eating butter that is far from
"gilt edge" in flavor. But a boiled
or fried egg with a ''dark br2 wn"
taste is simply out of the quesion.
For my part I do not know of any
thing that will spoil my appetite
more quickly.
The matter of space is not a seri
ous question. Any man who has a
spot twelve or fifteen feet square at
his disposal can kedp ten or a dozen
layers with perfect ease and conven
ience.
A little house six by eight feet will
house ten birds thru the winter. It
need not be of costly material or el
gantly . built. It must be sufficient,
however, to protect the birds frpm the
rigors of the winter season. It must
be dry and comparatively tight so
that drafts cannot creep in to give
the fowls colds..

A house twelve feet square should
be large enough to shelter from 15
to 20 fowls, depending on the size of
the birds and the care that is taken
of them. And just here let me say
that the degree of pleasure and the
measure of profits will be determined
largely by the excellence of the care
given the flock. It is a principle that
we have all observed no doubt that
if we do a thing the very best we
know how we deriv'e pleasure from
the doing of it. This holds especial
ly true I think in the care of fowls.
Now is a good time to begin, or to
begin over again.
Yefwill have to pay mbre for pul
lets in November than in September;
but you will save two months in the
feeding and card of them. . That will
probably more than equal the extra
:ost.
Pullets at a dollar and a half to five
dollars apiece this month wil/ be a
good investment. The right man can
make a bigger rate of income on his
money this way than in the equally
:ommendable Liberty Bond invest
ment.. He will have to work harder
with the hens than with the bonds;
but the work will be "after hours,"
