TWO
UNPRECEDENTED YEAR FOR POULTRY
PRICE INDICATIONS FOR 1915
Poor Hatches in 1914 Have
Depleted Stock and Raised
Values.
Owners of Breeders and Good
Layers Will Reap Big Harvest
By Retie V. Hick*,
Manager of Rancoca# Poultry Farm,
Brown's Mills, N. J., and former
president of American Poultry
Association.
Copyright, 10H.
The owner of Rood breeder* and
lavar* Oils ssason Is fortunate*
iMt spring's poor hatch™ cut
down the supply so badly that both
of these classes of poultry will be
In (rest demand.
The layers will bring unprece
dented prices In winter and the
breeders In due season will have
fhetr turn In the buying market.
The demand for stock and for
fneubetors, brooders, etc., all point
to a lively acramblc for producers
and a lively market means high
prices.
Again this weak. In the following
article, another writer naturally
refers to the high prices due to the
war.
The spring of Ml 4 seas noted for low
ifartlllty of eggs and poor hatches. The
sxnsltry raieer who got a good hatch
wan the exception. A large part ol
the country was swept over by a
bttasard early In M arth and this put
the mated birds off breeding condition
Until a month later. As a result, It
was necessary for the majority of
ksouJtry raisers to hnich out more than
■the usual number of chlcke In May and
{fans.
Usually, May and June chlcltß, when
given plenty of shade and a little ex
tra care, will mature Into fine speci
mens. In the Eastern rart of the
■United mates. 1814 brought extra dry
weather In May and early June, which
.made theae late hatches weak and of
Mow growth. Then, suddenly, in July
the weather became damp and rainy.
In the Middle West, favorable weath
or came early, and later It turned hot
land dry.
These sudden changes In weather
conditions acted very unfavorably on
the growing stock. In the cast, the
weakened birds, owing to the damp
ness, did not thrive so well, while the
extra heat In the West checked the
growth of those that had been thriv
ing In the cool June days Owing to
these conditions the market was filled
with poorly developed broilers In Au
gust and September. As a result,
prices were slightly depressed during
July end August; yet they hold up
better than a yesr ago.
Caused Low Price*.
This Isle grown stock came Into
the market late In September and
early pari of October, when young
fowls reached low prices, much lower
lhan they usually are In June. How
ever, as the poultry raisers were rom
a.piled to market a good portion of
their late-hatched stuff, owing to slow
growth and late development, this
means a shortage of choice birds for
raising stock next year and for the
production of eggs tor market This,
further, means that the poultryman
■who has a well developed lot of nice
cockerels or pullets Is gntgg to have
a good demand for them for breeding
purposes. It also means that the man
who has s choice flock of bens ready
to lay In December. January and Feb
ruary will receive unheard -of prices
for his eggs during this sstne period.
Why Is this strong statement made?
What proof can he adduced to back It
up? One Indication may be cited: that
the poultry show sensnn will have
more towns holding shows lhan were
held In any year In the past. The
poultry Judges nil report more calls
for ehow dates than In any previous
year. The poultry papers are all pub
lishing longer lists of shown than ever
"before.
Better Prices for Breeders.
Poultryman *ll over the country are
report In* more Inquiries for stock end
hatter price* *re being paid for mnlch
and female* for breading purpoee*,
while the demand for bird* for exhi
bition purpoee* i* far ahead of any

Aa a aample, one prominent adver
tiser report* for the month of Septem
ber double the number of Inquiries for
stock over those received n ve*r ago,
and thl* With lee* advertising being

In the same months In 1»1S. Another
pointer: The quotations for largo,
whits, new-laid eggs In New York
City, the largest and highest priced
«gg market In the world? show an ox
<c*e* on an average of three cent* a
dosen above those of IMS. September
t« not the highest price month for
fresh eggs, either. It Is October and
November usually when eggs reach
tkelr hlgheat market price. These
high price* of eggs ha\e attracted
more people, and will continue to at
tract more people during the coming
Mason to the hustneaa of egg farming
•g a paying commercial proposition.
Aa an evidence of this tt may he
cited that all manufacturer* of Incu
bators, brooders and poultry supplies
•re reporting increased Inquiries and
demands for their good*. There Is no
doubt that the hlah price of eggs and
poultry will cause men who have the
time and Inclination to turn to the
poultry business. It Is a fact, too,
that In aome Industries there are many
unemployed, and these prove rcadv
recruits to the poultry Industry.
It Is died by old-timers thsl* the
best year in poultry history followed
the panic of IM7. as people who sre

No mention has yet been made of
an Important factor In keeping up the
price of eggs end poultry, namely the
great European war. Tt I* douhtful ts

as the European war goes on It will
have a marked effect on all food prices
and eggs and poultry will prove no
exception. As meats climb higher
eggs and poultry will climb with them,
because people are beginning more and
more to realize that eggs and poultry
nr i not only healthy but the most eco
nomical meat foods In the world.
The reason for this Is that dressed'
fowls, Moiling now In New York mar
ket at from 2(1 to 25 cent* a poilYvd.
contain more net meat nnd food value
than beefsteaks at HO to 10 cents a
pound The European war will remove
all danger of competition from foreign
eggs nnd poultry products, ns these
will be demanded at home. In fact,
many optimists believe that American
eggs will be exported and American
dressed fowls, In cold storage, will go
to the warring nations As a large
area of country will be devastated by
the war, all fowls there will be de
stroyed ns also the accommodations for
raising them, and no doubt these opti
mists have good ground for their ex
pectations. The development In tho
next few months of a good Amer
ican merchant marine will undoubt
edly help to accomplish this end.
Grain Prices Now Steadied.
Some pessimists may fear that the
Increased price of grain will affect the
cost of production of egg* and poultry,
but a cnreful comparison of the in
creased prices of poultry feeds, such
as bran. corn, oats, middlings, etc.
will show that these have Increased
not over ten p#r cent above normal,
while eggs and poultry products are
from fifteen to twenty per cent above
the usual prices. It Is true that at
one time there was a decided flurry

Tn view of all the above It may be
safely asserted that the poultry busi

statement, for the poultry business haa
been growing wonderfully in the past
ten years.

PRAISE ROBERTS
IN GERMAN PRESS
Berlin, (via Amsterdam and London,
7:43 a. m.) —The Lokal Anzeiger in
an editorial on the death of Lord Rob
When Dreams Come True
"I dreamed,” said the cynic, ‘‘that I
sold a $300,000 bill of goods. And,” he
laughed scornfully, “had it lasted five min
utes longer, it would have been a clear mil
lion.”
He thought he had dreamed the im
possible !
But the great successful manufactur
ers of this country—men who started busi
ness with a small capital, and who are to
day ranked among the millionaires, would
not have laughed!
Years ago they realized that anything
is possible!
They knew that with a good product
to place upon the market, and a good ad
vertising medium in which to send a daily
message to the public about this product,
they could sell, without difficulty, many
$300,000 worth of goods.
A careful study of one’s product, a
knowledge of local conditions, the adver
tising columns of THE DAILY NEWS
PAPER—and without a doubt the time will
arrive when dreams come true!

“On the occasion of the death of
Lord Roberts the whole German press
expresses itself alike, appreciatively,
about the fallen enemy. Even in wal
moments occur when the fighter sa

of striking him with it. Sucht
ment has arisen with the departure ol
Roberts.”
