Poultry Treated as an Asset to the tanner in
Weekly letter of John tt. Page.
The poultry industry is of great
importance in this country and
should have attention among the
farmers. The receipts from pou1
try and eggs in Arkansas amounts
to more thirty million dollars an
nually. Last year it amounted to
about thirty-five million dollars.
Compare this with the cotton crop
and you will get some idea of its
magnitude. The farmers them
selves, whose wives and sons and
daughters raise the poultry, do not
recognize the full value of poultry
as a farm asset. It will pay the
farmers to build houses, make
coops and provide the proper
equipment necessary to give the
best opportunity to that branch of
the domestic circle having the
poultry interests in charge.
One of the most profitable feat
ture of poultry is overlooked by the
farmer. As a matter of fact, about
the most profitable feature is for
the farmer to eat the chickens and
eggs produced on his premises. A
dozen eggs will weigh a pound and
a half, and a chicken the right size
for a broiler, will weigh two pounds.
The eggs when sold to the country
merchant, who in turn ships them
to the commission merchant, usual
ly bring from 10 to 15 cents a
dozen and the chickens from $2 to
$2.50 a dozen. At the same time,
side meat costs at least 15 cents
a pound, and ham and breakfast
bacon cost 20 to 50 cents a pound.
The eggs if salable at 15 cents a
dozen would bring only JO cents a
pound and the chickens would
b-ingless. So why can’t the farm
er save money by eating eggs
and chickens? Too many farmers
overlook this contrast and take the
poultry and eggs to market and
sell it for less than it is worth to
them if consumed at home, and at
the same time deny themselves
these luxuries.
Sow a patch of rye or clover
near the house for the poultry,
spend a few dollars for wire netting
to protect the chickens from rats,
snakes and vermin, and buy poultry
remedies, and help the good house
wife to the means of caring.greese,
turkeys and ducks. If the market
does not afford a. good price, con
sume the product at home, and you
will live better and save money.
Remember the old adage. "Money
saved is money made.” Poultry is
a real asset to the farmer. Treat
it as such, and if you will keep an
account of it. you will be gratified
and surprised at the result.

. Seven Ways the One-Horse farmer loses.
The one-horse farmer, from ev
ery viewpoint, is working at a dis
advantage.
1. He is forced to spend too (
much time on each acre of crop,
because his one-horse methods:
limits him to a small area of crops,
and in limiting his area, he limits1
his income.
2. He cannot diversify to ad-j
vantage in raising the standard
farm crops, and thus fails to get
the advantage of the larger acra, e
which the two horse man can terv
under his diversified systems.
|
3. Neither he nor his mule is
employed as many days in a year
at actual work as the two-horse
man is employed under his divirsi
. fled systems, which is another w y
! of saying that there is too much
lost time under the one-horse sys
terns.
4. It is more difficult for him to
raise his own hay. corn and meat
than for the two-horse farmer.
5. It is more difficult for a farm
er to pay for one mule by one-mule
methods than to piy for two muies
by two-mule methods.
6. It is more difficu’t to pay f >r
a one-hor%e farm by one-horse
methods than to pay for a two
horse farm Dy two-borse methods.
7. The two-horso farmer, by
reason of his more efficient imple
ments and better cropping sys
terns, receives a larger net income
than the one-horse farmer re
ceives. and he can thus give his
family a better living and more ad
vantages. A. D. McNair, in The
Progressive Farmer.

CLOUDS.
Ry George Fitch. Copyrighted by
George Mathew Adams.
A cloud is a celestial sprinkle;
system operated in the interests of;
the umbrella trust.
As, a matter of fact a cloud is a
trust itself because it cannot be:
regulated. It does as it pleases
and nothing pleases it more than 1
to arrange itself over a ball game'
or a church picnic and dump about
1.000.000.000 gallons of water on
the festive scene.
Nothing gives a large brunette
| cloud more plea, u-e than to travel
away from a cornfield which is
turning a genteel brown for want
of water and to rain on a ball game.
If science could equip our clouds;
with rudders and install licensed!
pilots on them agriculture would !
boom as never before, and promo
ters of country fairs and summer!
parks could pjace their stock with
ease.
There are two principal kinds of j
clouds, viz; cirrus and cumulous. j
A cirrus cloud looks like nine‘mill
ion dollars worth of cotton batting j
and can be walked under with im
punity. but one should approach a
cumulous ckud carefully and with j
a waterp'oof. Cumulous clouds!
are so named from their habit of
accumulating all the water in the
country and then leting go of it
with a loud report.
Clouds inhabit the sky and are
usually a mile or two above
ground. By ascending a mountain
one can walk into a cloud and feel
its ribs and can also ascend above
it and throw orange peals down on
it. In Switzerland the farmers live
above the clouds and when the
cautious farmer turns his cow out
to grass he tethers her to prevent
her from walking*off a precipice
into a large cumulous cloud and
sailing over into the next canyon.
Since aeroplanes and skyscrapers
have been invented men have be
come much more funilar with
clouds. Playing hide and seek
around a thunder-head in mono
planes is now one of the favorite
methods of ascending the golden
stair by the rebound system.
In New York the office buildings
are now so high that clouds often
infest the upper stories and the
busy captain of industry often his
to shoo the tail end of a thunder
storm off his desk before he can
read his morning's mad.
In Scotland clouds make their
home close to ground and love 1
nothing better to creep inside the !
vest of the shivering and nestle
there. Nothing i- colder or clam
mier tuan a clou i when it is crawl-|
ing inside of a • . .nr. Scotchmen
are hardy becailse they have been
brought up to play with clouds and
endure them with fortitude. Hav- !
ing learned this, nothing else can !
kill them.
Clouds often rmk° a great nuis-j
ance of themselves, oj‘ ‘hey also;
make the worlu habitable. T h'-:
land which has no clouds has ro
crops of real estate and doesn't I
cast enough votes in the fiii elec
tion to be noticable in the returns.
