NEWARK AS A POULTRY MARKET'
Some Figures on the Value of
Poultry and Eggs That Will
Perhaps Surprise You
Did you over think what an im
mense sum of money is paid out
every year for chickens and eggs'
The express records kept by Agent
F. C. Hoyt at the depot show that
there is an average of about 3,000
dozen eggs per month shipped
from Newark. On an average
eggs sell for at least 12$ cents a
dozen the year round. (They are
now 15 cents a dozen.) At that
price the egg shipments for one
month are worth $450, which,
multiplied by twelve, gives us the
snug sum of $5,400 a year for
eggs.
Think of that: $5,400 paid to the
farmers of this community alone
for eggs in one year. Mr. Hoyt
says the poultry shipments will
amout to $280 per month, which
gives us a total of $3,360 a year
for poultry. This added to $5,400
for eggs makes a grand total of
$8,760 a year for eggs and poul
try.
This suggests the idea that it
might be of interest to The Jour
nal’s readers to know the value of
the poultry and eggs produced an
nually in the United States. The
latest reliable information we have
on the subject is given in the cen
sus reports of 1900. This report
gives the total value for the pre
ceding year (that is from June 1,
1*99 to .June 1, 1900) as follows:
Poultry, $197,000,000; eggs, $144,
000,000. It might be more inter
esting to give these values by
states, hence we give the total val
ues for 22 of the leading states.

It will l>e noted that Texas leads |
all the states of the South in the
value of both poultry and eggs
sold. Illinois leads all the states:
in the value of poultry sold, but is
fourth in the list in the value of
eggs, being surpassed by Ohio,
Iowa and Pennsylvania in the or
der named. In all the Southern |
states the value of poultry sold ex - ,
ceeds the value of eggs sold and i
the same is true in a few Northern |
states, but in most of the latter the
value of eggs is the greater. Are
these figures statistical proof of
the oft repeated statement that we
are great lovers and users of fried
chicken or is it capable of some
other interpretation?
The poultry industry, while not
the greatest of farm industries, is j
far from being the least. Its pro- j
duct is exceeded in value by corn, {
bay, cotton, wheat, live stock and
dairy products, but it is more val
uable than oats or potatoes. It
comes in little driblets here and |
there, but these little driblets
' !
make a vast aggregate. More-1
over, the poultry business is reach- j
ing a stage where many people are
making it the main business in
stead of a side issue.
BANK CASHIER CONVICTED
Nashville, Sept. 2b.—1>. P. Ter
ry, late cashier of the defunct
Howard county bank, will have to
serve four years in the peniten
tiary for receiving deposits, know
ing the bank to be insolvent.
After praying an appeal to the
supreme court the appeal was
withdrawn. Court dismissed all
cases, eight in all, for numerous
offenses, and Terry accepted the
sentence of four years in full of all
charges against him.
His attorneys put up a hard
fight in the face of the incontro
verted facts, and are of the opin
ion that he has fared well in the
matter.
TWO TO HANG
At the recent term of the St.

the child of his stepdaughter, It!
years old, and Alfred Carr for the

BE CONSIDERATE
Be kind in your judgment of
your fellow men. You see the
faults a man commits, but you do
not see what a tight he has made
against his weakness, and he may
be far less guilty than it seems to
you he is. Condemn the fault, as
in righteousness you must, but be
kind toward the man.—Arkansas

SOnE RAILROAD FIGURES
Quite a number of interesting
facts have been made public in a
recent Bulletin issued b.v the In
terstate Commerce Commission on
the year’s dev elopment of railroad
work in the United States. This
report states that the capitaliza
tion of American railroads would
be suthcient to furnish $16*.35 to
every man woman and child in the
United States including Alaska
and Hawaii. The accident record
showed a decided increase, there
being an average of 26 deaths per
day during the past year, although
these were very largely confined
to the employes of the railroads.
Considerably over one million men
were on the pay rolls of the var
ious roads, and at the present rate
of increase it was stated that whh
in three years there would In
more men employed in the rad
road service than took part on
both sides during the Civil war. ,
