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 previous year 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 run during the past two month* than 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 trying to hosrd their finances and •forking In every way lo make both ends meet will put a few chtrkens tn their .hack yards lo eat the table grraps and thu* cut down the coat of living It la eaay and requires com paratively llltle experience or money to make a small stsrt with a few fowls In ope'* back yard. There will he hundreds of new rslsers of jmultry tn •tt hur smaller towns and suburban cities during the next six months War Will Increase Prices. 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 this war baa thus far had much effVct In increasing the price of eggs, ex cept aa It ha* Increased the price if •II food products, as the cause for the Increase In price Is really the shortage In production reused by fewer femglca being raised during the twist season than In previous yours.

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 In the price of wheat, hut with the re establishment of normal shipping conditions wheat dropped baek ami FOOD SOURING IN STOMACH CAUSES INDIGESTION.

Date 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! A MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15. erts, says: “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 lutes the enemy with the sabre Instead of striking him with it.
