Immense Profit Accruing in
the Poultry Business.
HEN C0MPAEED WITH THE COW.
Fifty Hens Will Pay as Much Profit
as a Cow, With Less Labor
and Expense Etc.
But few persons realize how great is
the profit derived from poultry, and in
order to give some idea of the importance
of the hen we will compare her with the
cow. A good cow is worth not less than
$50, but she will seldom pay a profit over
and above all expenses amounting to 350 ;
but we will be liberal with the cow and
credit her with 100 per cent, profit. This
is allowed after charging her with her
feed, her quarters and the labor neces
sary for her care. She requires about
three acres of ground, the profit being
$16.67 per acre. The hen is valued at 75
cents, and estimating that she lays nine
dozen eggs a vear, at 15 cents a dozen on
an average, she returns $1.35. As it may
cost $1 to pay for her feed and quarters,
she gives a profit of only 35 cents, or a
traction over 40 per cent., which is really
large sura compared witn the invest
ment. But she does more. She can
cover over a dozen eggs ; and if we erant
that she raises only six chicks, w'hich
will cost 5 cents per pound until they
are two pounds in weight anil sell for
only 15 cents a pound, the profit on each
i.:..i :il 1 nr r.-m . ..
chick, win oe so rents, or ?i.zo lor tne
six. This, added to the 35 cents from
eggs, makes $1.55 profit from the hen, or
over 200 per cent. Now, we have given
the cow the benefit of the high esti
mates, and have estimated low for the
hen in order to be within safe limits;
and, although we plaen her nt n diad
vantage, yet she returns twice as much
profit in proportion to capital invested
as the cow.
But stop ; we have not charged labor
to the lien. Well, one hen requires prac
tically but little expensive labor, but it
is almost as easy to care for a dozen as
for one. A hundred hens can be kept on
an acre of ground; and if we deduct
from the $1.55 the sum of 55 cents for
labor, etc., we still have il profit, orover
130 percent, profit on capital invested
in the hens, or 100 profit from an acre
of ground in poultry to S 10.67 for an
acre devoted to the cow. Fifty hens will
pay as much profit as a cow", and with
less labor and expense, while much of
the lalor may be done by those members
of tho family who could "not be useful in
the management of cows. Thus, while
allowing only $1 a year from a hen, con
sidering the small space required and the
quick returns from the chicks and eggs,
she gives a large prolit in proportion to
capital invested. Poultry Keeper.
TO RELIEVE COLIC.
Slight touches of colic mav bo quickly
relieved by giving the horse a table
spoonful of salaratus or baking powder
ih a glass of water. If it does not yield
to this, ten to fifteen drops of aconite
may be administered. It is easy to make
most horses drink by holding their heads
high and forcing the neck of a thick glass
bottle containing the liquid into the side
of the mouth. After the liquid has all
left the bottle the head must be still
kept up for a few minutes to compel the
patient to swallow it and not lose it from
bis mouth.
SHORT NOTES.
The best rule is to replace a cow that
shows much lessening in vield bv a young
one. "
It is much the best policy to grow the
cows needed to replace those gel ting old
for profit.
We should feed home-grown cows with
home-grown feed, and both Bhould be of
the best quality.
While some cows vield well at fourteen
years of age, others will not pay to keep
when ten years old.
There is no reason why the roosts
should be high if the fowls are protected.
It injures heavy fowls to fly down from
high roosts.
If your hena have sore feet, what is
known as bumble foot, one of the first
things to do is to lower the roosts, thus
removing the cause.
It is said that over 3,000,000 eggs are
used annually in this country by three
factories which make the albumen paper
used in photography.
Poultry-keeping is a most excellent
adjunct to the dairy. Skim milk and a
good grass range are two of the best fac
tors toward making poultry profitable.
The Poultry Keeper savs : When a
hen's comb becomes frosted she will not
lay until it heals. Rub a few drops of
glycerin in th-romb and water two or
three times a day.
For any one who is in the poultry busi
ness as a business the advantages of ar
tificial incubation are plain. But for
the farmer who keeps an ordinary flock
we do not believe thev will often prove
profitable. "
Get the crop of chickens started earlv.
Late-hatched pulk-ts are scarcely worth
their cost. They will not make winter
layers, and when thev do
the spring eggs are so cheap that they
iu uui pay current expense.
The milk business uives an imnnrtimttp
to keen up the fertiiiiv of the soil. Your
bran bill i merely
deosit of fertility in your soil, which is
uviiiij urawu uon and tx-ing sold in
milk. The bran is usually worth its cost
in manure, and your extra milk from
feeding it is almost clear prolit.
