9 _.Pouurny. xp, Eacs.—Raising poul. try and marketing eggs seems to be a smalk ess, and yet it is a business by which large fortunes have been 430,878, eggs, the larger proportion for Prin , where “sciebtific mewn are ' used to produce them. From January to June isthe most productive part of the season. , In the Winter hens are fed on buckwheat and meat, and their’ apartments are warmed by artificial means. Pari#’aldtié Consumes 12,000, 000 francs worth of eggs, and even at ptibed! Yhere“the Business, is very profit ‘able. ee many, of the Eastern States,.considerable attention has been devoted to the work of producing eggs for murket. A’ numbér ‘of small enterprises lave been undertaken in California, but in most cases they ‘Hive failed, ‘for ‘the reason. that,.thoge undertaking’ them have neglected to provide for the fowls, With such a climate as California, and such prices, a well regulated hen nefy would produce a fortune in a-very. few, years, But if fowls are allowed to — Tive ,éaofilth and pick up living, they will begin to die off as soon as they gin to:increase. Fowls must be fed, and they will not live upon ‘grain alone, any imore than men, They should be given animal food at least three times a week, Their apartments must be cleaned frequently, whitewashed, and the nests ought to be secluded and separate ftom the roost — ing place. ‘They should have a constant supply of fresh water, and. changes in stock should be made te avdid the. deleterious influence of “breeding in.” If thesg; ules;are obseryed ‘by thip’é “who undertake the business of raising poul. try and producing eggs for market, chickens will be healthy. ond almost any breed will prove to be good layers. There are handreds of places in Nevada county, where the business might be carried on to advantage, and’ a ‘big profit. made, even if eggs should.be worth but one-third what they now bring in the market. It is a shame that with the advantages California possesses for this business, Chicago ean .
