4 PROGRESSIVE FARMER JLND COTTON PLANT. Thursday, August 16, 1906 PRACTICAL POULTRY TALKS. E DUCAT I ONAL DIRECTORY LXIX. Why Eat Western Bacon Instead of Home-Raised Chicken? Messrs. Editors: While summer is generally regarded as the dull season in the poultry business, it isn't a dim cult matter for the poultry raiser to pick up a little extra change and keep fairly busy with the fowls during the hot- months. Three-pound chicks bring good prices late in the year it the hens will sit, for the reason that in summer there is usually a large amount of waste material that can be consumed at home. Why Eat Bacon When You Can Grow Chickens So Cheap? . Hundreds of farmers live on pur chased meat when they can easily supply themselves with poultry at much less cost, since during the sum mer season little or no labor is re quired with chicks, while the food should cost almost nothing. Feed, water, and shade are the chief es sentials. . . It is not profitable on a farm to abandon the hatching of chicks as long as the conditions are favorable for them. The large lice are very de structive to late chicks, but remedies and precautions must be used to pre vent such pests. Late-hatched chicks give a profit, and the farmer should not overlook the opportunity they of fer for increasing his revenue. Don't Breed From Second-Kate Layers. It is the number of eggs laid that counts most in the poultry industry, although, of course, many other mat ters should be duly considered. It is well then to breed from only your best layers. Kill or sell your old hens or poor layers and you will soon see an increase in your egg produc tion. If one hen lays 200 eggs annually, another 150 or 175, you can readily see that it does not pay to keep those that do not come up to the standard. Let it be the "survival of the fittest" in the poultry business, as it seems to" be dictated by nature in so many other things. 150-Egg Hens or 200-Egg Hens? It costs no mOre to feed the 200 egg hen than it does the 150-egg hen, and the difference in eggs, if sold, would almost feed the former for half a year. The American farmer should have the best of everything t he is en titled to it horses, cows, sheep, hogs and poultry. When he has these things he is on "Easy Street" and liv ing at home, and packing-house meth ods have no terror for him. The Safest Business on Earth. There is this about the poultry business on the farm there is no danger of over-doing it. Profitable prices for the product of the hen arc absoutely assured for the future. It represents the very safest and surest branch of agriculture. Why, there is a town out in California of 6,000 in habitants, every one of whom is mak ing a living from poultry and eggs. The daily cash sales from these prod ucts are $3,500 and it is a "spot cash" town, too. "UNCLE JO." Mecklenburg Co., N. C: Call for National Meeting of Farm ers' Union or F. E. and C. U.
