PROFITABLE POULTRY RAIS ING. One Who Has Been in Business Com. ments on Organization of Rich land Association. The State. In a recent issue of your paper I saw a notice of the forming of an or ganization to promote the poultry in dustry. It was with much interest that I read the article, as years of experience with poultry oi a dairy fram at Watertown, N. Y., fully de monstrated to me that poultry pro perly handled in connectioni,with oth er farming is oie of the most paying parts of the farm. But when I reaehed the part of thall atice whiiere it said tihe organi Zers expeeted inl a few months to So develop the potlhry indtistry as to have that setio,an furnishing" file gireafer pilt If t le )oulltr'y pr t of' the Sth or words to that effect, (I am nly writing from memory; not beinV i stbscriber I only saw the article from picking iu) a] paper oil a store counter, while waiting for the clerk to wait on me) it gave me at pain, for I saw at once how little the enterprising people back of this move realized the magnitude of tle un1dert lking. When I Mwned a farm, prodicilng milk and peddled the same by the (iart in Watertown, N. Y., a city of' 25,000 people. I developed the polit ry blsitiess to go with it, antd also to some extent market garden in-.. Now, tIbeady being a1 practical farmer, withi at everage knowledge of poultry, it took ine four years to so perfect the business that I con sidered I had it on a satisfactory basis, although my books showed a profit from the start. Of course I Could start again now if I had the capital and reach a sat isfaetory basis iuehi quicker. I coiclude the p romoters of this or-aization aire bo(t Ii dealers and1, prodIclive I bS. hut T faicy started by tile dealers in an er fort to stimulate produttion, le eaus'e t hey', like t' deales in tve'ry ot her vity. timi4l it absltely imps s-ible to gelenu-0h absidel v f1Irst class e':s attel tressel p11ilt y. evi wheI the market is gluttel with cim1 mon 1-oods.

But I repeat it, should be handled in connection with a dairy. But do not expect to reach a paying basis in less thtan 18 months. A veory good sized business would be estab lished on say 400 acres; begin -with 10 cows and 100 lhens. These hiens wfll lay eggs for hatehing. Hateb continuously, as rapidly as you can unitil you have grown at least 2,000 laying liens. These should product not less than 20,000 dozen eggs pei yoar. In considering what these wvill bring the dealer must not lose sight of the fact that the aegsar o b delivered to him twice a week ever, week in the year and not over fou days old., Remember the best cm tomers want eggs 305 days in a yen and want them fresh. These th dealer cannot furnish unless backe by the producer that gets right dow to business begins at the foundatio and makes the conditions right t Iwoduce the article wanted and '. the time wanted. A good way to d this is for the dealers and Capitalist that want a safe investment to secur an evperienced poultry man that i willing to go into the poultry busi ness for a share of the profits afte paying a fair interest on all capiti investedl. There are such men to b hia(, men that will develop in fiv years a farn in lichland county tha 'will pay 10 per cent and more. Bu :emllembl.er there are many difficul ties to encounter that will prov verIY expenisive unless miel by onl tlit has hand the experience an< kinows how to guard against tlhem. T be forewarned is forearmed. Selec for the ianag-er tihe man of experi ence that puts the enterprise .beyoi the experimental stage. Then go a it in earnest ; put enough in it t make it a success both of capital am brains, and it is sure to benefit ever; one connected with it and in fev years produce not, less than $25,001 worth of goods per year. Being ii a class by itself it would be so differ eit from the common poultry of thq coulintry as to have nothinig in comt, m1on with it. In this way you can succeed ani make it pay you too, but an organi zation just to boom the busines, might be means of producing a fem more eggs and chickens of the oli class but prove of very little bene fit to any one.

Who serves tlie nation mo-tI ofehiliolder oi- the printe citizen ? It depends, says tMe Milwaiikc .Jom.t,al. J-.Aiee Brewer says that it is ni necessary to hold oic-'! to serv il natim. And lie is right. O-ne e perforil his whole duty as a ithize without being an officeholder. It not necessary to draw a salary fr the piule teasury to be a patrict. May be that tihe man in privatn ii can render better service to the cou Iry tlian can the man in ofiec. TI pivate itiven is more free to ac lie is free to criticise: lie is his Imu ma<zter. He is the source of til I litical power and lie can rend-x ti zreatest lom-lble service to tlie ':'La by helping to iaaintain a hiL-h stai dlard of citizenship. But so mayv the otTiceholder. TI niat ion needs honest, efficient, ineo ruptib)le public servants to the san degree that it needls zealous, faithfu upright p)rivate citizens. The or complements the othier. Both are al solutely essential in a democracy. Noone can say that the faithifi omiee holder serves the notion bett< titan thme truly faithful citizen. Eac has a wvork to do that is of fundamet tal importance. The value of eac dependi(s uponi the way in which thi work is donme.
