Fresh eggs are higher in price
every year. Poultry raisers who
knmo hoiv have eggs to sell the year
around at top prices. Broilers and
roasters pay big profits when grown,
fed and sold right Poultrymen
who use scientific methods make
every fowl earn $2 a year.
Hundreds of money-making am
ateur poultry rakers owe their suc
cess to I. C. S. training.
"To the I. C. S. Coarse in Poul

By Prof. Harry B. Lewie
Bead of the DpDartaxmt of Poultry Hcbnoary
at the New Jersey Stat College of Aurtcnt
ture and Agricultural Experiment Stations.
COPYRIGHT. 1915.
Jotvy schoolboys are making
spending money by keeping poultry,
and almost any student can add to
his income in this way. In this
article Professor Lewis tells the
actual experiences of two boys who
in one year got $95.03 for the eggs
produced by 18 pullets.
ASHER ALUSON and his brother
Henry wanted to earn money of
their own, so last year they pro
posed to their father that he help
them to start keeping poultry. He agreed
and the boys, one 15 and the other 12
years old, went to work with a will and
under the -guidance of their father and
with the help of many circulars and bul
letins which they received from the New
Jersey Experiment stations, they made
their work a marked success. The fol
lowing facts pertaining to their manage
ment and results may be helpful to others
who are about to start keeping poultry;
It was about the middle of ,lulv, 1914,
that Asher made a small plan" of the
poultry house which he wanted tr build
and sent it to the Experiment Station
for suggestions. The plan was looked
over and a list of the material needed in
building it was forwarded, together with
a few minor criticisms.
The lumber was bought from a local
lumber dealer at a cost of $14, and the
boys built a small shed roof hruse eight
feet wide by ten feet deep. They put a
large muslin curtain in the rpnlor nnrl n
glass sa&h in the west end of the house,
to let in sunlight and to give plentv of
friwh air. The house was built on posts,
the floor being two feet above the
ground. A small yard ten by twenty
feet was built of ordinary poultry net
ting at small cost. The area inclosed
was a fine green grass sward, which gave
the bird? lots of green food.
Upon the completion of the house the
boys visited a farmer, about a mile from
the small city where they lived, and af
ter explaining their plan, bought from
him eighteen Barred Plymouth Rock pul
let. which were nearly mature, at a cost
of 0 cenfs each. Tl.cse were placed in
the house on Jnly 2.1, and on August 1
the boys began to keen an accurate rec
ord of what they fed to the birds and
the eggs laid.
Method of Feeding
The feeding practice which the bovs
used consisted of keeping before the
birds at all times a dry mash and giving
in addition a small amount of grain in
litter every morning and night. A com
mercial dry mash hopper was purchased
and a ration containing equal parts of
wheat bran, wheat middlings, ground
oats, corn meal and gluten meal, to
gether with 10 per cent, of meat scrap,
was placed in the hopper. This ration
the boys bought ready mixed from
local grain dealer.
In the morning abont 7 o'clock the
birds were given about lty pounds of
wheat, and usually about 4 o'clock, as
soon as school was over, 2 to 3 pounds
of a mixture of half wheat and half corn
was scattered in the litter of straw and
leaves, which wag alwavs kept thick and
coarse over the entire tloor.
Plenty of clean water wag kept before
the birds and they were fed all the green
grass and sprouted oats that thev would
clean up quickly. Scraps from the table
were fed also, and made it possible to
cut down at times on the grains.
Ashcr kept the recorCs and handled the
aco.,nts, while Henrv collected the eggs
and made most of the deliveries to cus
tomers. Hoth boys attended to the feed
ing and the rare of the yard and hoii'e
al. Ki; was taken off the ship while j
'(irk and removed to the Fnlboa quar-.
j antine station where his case was I
; (llairnosed as yellow fever. None of the
'other members of the party, all of
whom were- from KunsiiH Cltv. were
found to have been infected.
It has been known to the canal
7(ne hoalth authorities for mnnhii
that in the vicinity of TiuenavenUira,
Colombia, yellow feer has been epi
demic. Similar conditions exist far
ther inland toward Call where the
Americans were employed building a

The Campines have been bred in Bel
gium for centuries and have achieved
wide popularity throughout Europe be
cause of their heavy egg production.
There are Silver and Gold Campines,
and bothvarietiea lay white eggs of good
size, and' like the Leghorns, seldom be
come broody.
The Golden Campine is a handsome
fowl, about the same size as our leg
horns. It is alert and active and its
All of the egg, which were used by the
family were paid for at regular store
prices. Considerable trade wag built up
in the immediate neighborhood, as the
community knew cf the boys' project and
was eager to get first-clnss eggs, strictly
fresh, at a most reasonable price.
Record of Year's Egg Yield
The pullets were well bred birds,
strong and vigorous so that they re
sponded well to the good care and atten
tion which were always given them. The
daily record was kept carefully together
with the selling price and the cost of
all material purchase!. The following is
the monthly egg record as sent to me
by these amateur chicken men:

eggs or 2i'J dozen.
This is a remarkable yield and in fact
is much above the averaee. It could
not have been secured unless the birds
had been first-class and the boys hsd
taken the best of care of them. The
flock averaged ISO eggs per bird for
the year, their best month being April,
when thev laid an average of 14 eggs
a day. ftne pullet died in June, but
this was the only loss in the year. A
wet spell in February resulted in a few
colds, hut these were soon checked be
fore damage had been done.
The average price received for the
eggs was thirty-four cents a dozen.
which netted the boys $1)5.03. For
some eggs they received as high as 50
cents a dozen, while in April and May
they had to take as little a 21 cents
for a few.
Expenses for the Year
The money paid out on account of the
house and care of the flock was as fol

Subtracting this amount from the
gross returns of $95.03 I wag surprised
to see that the boys had cleared a net
profit for the year of $22.06 or a lit
tle more than one dollar per bird. This
is especially gratifying in view of the
fact that the house is paid for out of
the first year's receipts and the pur-
chase price of the birds is covered as
well. The birds can be sold later as
meat and will thus swell the income.
These are excellent results and some
what exceptional, but they will servo
to give you some idea of what is possible .
in your case if vou have a personal
liking for poultry, and if you are willing
to put in considerable time in caring
lor them and to study tnem constantly
to see that they are given every need!.
Hesu'.ts in our boyB' work about the
State show many cases the reverse
oi this and others nearly ns good, so that
I cannot but point out the danger of
being too optimistic. Success will ac
company your efforts and you will have
a mighty tine time at it it you maae
sure that the following conditions are
present:
First, that you really want to do it
and are willing to put in time and study
on it.
Second. That you secure strong,
healthy birds with which to start.
Third. That you secure good sound
advice as to the housing and feeding of
the birds. These are the two funda
mental factors in their care.
lastly, sueb work will get you out
doors with its many attendant advan
tages, fresh air to breathe, plenty of
sunlight to make you strong ami best
of ail a business in which you are in
terested and which is preparing you for
a bigger business later in life. And
this all in the spirit of play.
