WKAI.I'H IN POULTRY
Poultry and EgjfSConsumed in the
LI. 5. Annually Amounts to
Nearly $3,000,000.
It is a curious fact that the
more the poultry industry extends
and the more chickens and eggs
multiply, the higher the prices go
and the harder it is to supply the
demand. Everybody remembers
when eggs, in the country, were
a drug on the market. ^ ou could
buy all you wanted for a nickel a
dozen and the farmer’s children
were glad to get that much.
In the winter, when they were
scarce, the prices went up, of
course, but in the spring the abun
dance made them a negligible quan
tity so far as selling was concerned.
Now, eggs never get cheap at any
season, prices keeping up through
out the spring and summer as well
as winter. One would have sup
posed that the multiplication of
the incubators, which hatch chick
ens by the hundreds of thousands,
would have cheapened the prices
for “fries” and “broilers” by in
creasing the supply over the old
methods. But this has not hap
pened and all during the early
season for these luxuries, the
prices place them “out of sight"
of the ordinary city resilient. In
this one department, at least, it
■seems that demand is nearly al
ways ahead of supply and the
the world cannot get enough chick
ens and eggs.
According to the census statis
tics 250,000,000 chickens, to say
nothing of other kinds of poultry,
are consumed each year. For one
year recently, egg and poultry
earnings amounted to $280,000,
OtK). The significance of these
figures? may b<; estimated when it
Is fememLi*ied thai the total value
of the gold, silver, wool and sheep
produced in America during the
year in question was $272.404,015.
The hen’s contribution to our
wealth is still more strikingly
"brought out when we place beside
it the value of some of our more
important crops. Counting only
the part consumed at home, our
wheat was worth $229,000,000;
our 1h gs, $bv 0,529,085; oats, $iS,*
987.9U0: potatoes, almost the same;
tobacco, estimated at $85,579,
225, while cotton, once king of stap
les, could show only $259,100,040,
to compare with the magnificent
earnings of its feathered rival.
The hens' eggs produced in the
United States annually would till
43,127,000 crates, each of these
holding 800 eggs; al>o a train of
refrigerator cars to carry these
eggs would be nearly ‘900 miles
long.
One of our agricultural ex-,
changes says that tin1 ideal lieu
.should lay about two hundred j
eggs a year; it also says that re
cent exhaustive experiments by ;
well equipped investigators prove
that the egg deserves its reputa
tion as an easily assimilated and
highly nutritious food, if eaten raw
or lightly cooked. Such experi
ments slso show that eggs at 1
cents a dozen are a cheap source
of nutrients; at lb cents somewhat
expensive, and at -•> cents and
•over highly extravagant.

“I was troubled with a hacking cough for a year and

A. M. Ake, Wood, Ind., writes: “Several years
