THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTOKIA, OREGON. TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 1909. Mr. Bowser And Poultry He Reads All About Vast For j tunes Made Out of the Chicken Business. DECIDES TO ATTLMPT IT Tells Mrs. Bowser to Prepare to Mov and Goes Out to Consult Butcher About Hens. l- OP) M' Copyright 19ns. by It B. McClure R. BOWSER lmd Iwn reading his evening imper for half an hour wheur he suddeuly brought bis fist down on his knee and exclaimed: "By thunder, but that proves what I have always told you!" "What have you always told me?" queried Mrs. Bowser. "That there was money big money lots of money lu raising cbickeus. 1 was a fool not to go Into it ten years ago." "What have you found In the paper?" "llere Is a column or more devoted to the subject, and it makes me waut to kick myself when I see what a chauce I have missed. The man who lets his wife out-argtie him in matters of com- "DOM G1UEVE, PooB W01U.N. mon sense is an Idiot. I've wanted to go into poultry sewral times, but you always opposed it and blocked my plans." "Well, does the article say there Is money In It?" "Of course It does. Here Is the ease cf a young married couple who started ten years ago with six hens. What do you suppose they are worth now?" "If they have lived on raw turnips 1 for ten years and he has had steady work at a dollar a day they may be worth ? 1,000.'" i "Woman, I'd advise you not to fool . with this question. You may find It a ' serious one before you get through. In ten years, starting In with six hens, they have sold enough eggs and poultry to come to $2i.,000, and their income next year will be at least $15,000. They Lave bought a fine farm, built a new house and now ride in their own car riage. Suppose we had started with six hens when we were first married?" "We'd have owned a whole state by this time and we could give away a million eggs and not miss them." "Sneering again, are you? V'e, you can sneer and be hanged.

Here is (mother case. A uiotvunnt falls in business and commit suicide. After his funeral expenses are paid his wld ov has just $7 left. She use?." ol that to build a hencoop, and the othet goes to buy chickens. She starts with four hens and a rooster. That was nlue years ago. Today she Is worth ?1S,000 and rides about after a spanking team. I wanted t go iuto poultry twenty years ago. but you hnd your arguiueuts all ready to dissuade me. If I bad gone my owu way then I'd have a barrel of nioney by this time." , "Any further instances?" quietly asked Mrs. Bowser as he grunted his disgust. "A dozen of them, madam. You dou't class me as a boru fool, do you?" "Certainly uot." "Weil, here is an instance where a bom idiot escaped from au asylum. He stole two hens and weut into poultry. That was thirteen years ago, and today he has 000,000 hens and Is selling a thousand eggs per day. Thluk of that If a fool eau do that, what couldn't I have made In the thirteen years? By the seveu knee sprung cows, but I'se let a woman pull me this way aud that, aud here's the result of It! One more instance. A woman sixty years old who has asthma and rheumatism so that she can hardly get around is ad vised by her doctor to go Into the eouu try for a year or so. She goes, aud one day she finds a lame ben In the road. She takes it home to make a pet of, aud when the hen began to lay from twenty-four to thirty-six eggs per day the woman got the idea that there was money in it. That was nine years ago. It was not believed that she could live a year, and she had only 70 cents to her name. Today she is tn the best of health, not looking a day over thirty, and her Income from the sales of eggs, chickens, milk and butter Is over $306 a day. Think of that over $300 a day, aud mine is not $10!" 'How does she manage to milk the hens?" was asked. "What! What!" "Yon satd milk and butter. I was wondering how sh did it" "I said nothing of the kind, or if I did it was a slip of the tongue. I see you are ready to pick up the slightest thing, but let me tell you that I'm not to b turned aside from my purpose this time. I'll put uu ad. in the papers touior row," "For a lame hen to start the poultry business on?" ".No, madam!" he thundered. "You are determined to treat this matter in sarcasm, but I want to tell you that within a mouth I'll have this house sold and le in the chicken business. When a person can sit lu a rocking chair and see money coining in at the rate of $l.i 0 per mouth he's a fool to keep on uigj.'eriiig for a bare liviug. We won't start with a lame hen, but with a thou sand healthy nud ambitious birds." Mrs. Bowser made no reply. She could have gone at It aud destroyed bis arguments in a mlmita-, but she decided not to do so. He turned to his paper and reread the poultry statements, made either In sarcasm or by some one who didn't know a heu from a brindled calf, and bis ambition and greed be came so great that he couldn't sit still. He got up and walked around the room for several minutes and then paused to say; "Yes, you can begin to pack up. We will be sold out in two weeks." "Very well," she replied. "And I think I'll drop over and sef the butcher for a few minutes. He'll know the best breed of fowls to star' in with, and I might as well advertise for them at once. We can keep a thou sand of them down cellar for a moutli if we have to, and during that time we ought to have half a million eggs." He took his hat from the rack and started off for the butcher's, and when the door had closed behind him the cat came out from under the lounge and sat up and looked at Mrs. Bowser In a sorrowful way aud seemed to say: "Don't grieve, poor woman. The butcher is a hard headed man, and Mr. Bowser will hear something drop be fore he comes back." The butcher was about closing up for the evening, but he cheerfully agreed that he would answer a few questions about poultry. He had known all about poultry since he was a chicken himself. Mr. Bowrfex handed him the paper and asked him to read the artf cle. He did so, and when he had finish ed he burst into a guffaw and saidr "That was written by a fool for fools to read. Tou slou't tell me that you be lieve such statements?" "They strike me as reasonable and truthful." "Then the fool killer ought to strike you with a club. Did you ever see s hen?" "Sir, don't insult me!" "I'm not Insulting you. Did you ever have a flock of bens around your house'" "No." "Well, if you bad you would realize what nonsense this is. Why, Bowser, you couldn't make your salt at the poultry business. There are twenty failures to one success, and It's harder work than sawlug hickory wood with a dull saw." "I beg to differ with you. I say there Is money in it. If a woman sixty years old can start with one ben, and n lame one at thut, and make" 'Make your grandmother:" www mm c "But do you uiean to say that I'm a fool:" ' .o, Bowser, but you are an oa. mark, a good thing. You want wMglit 011 your feet to keep them down, tilve it up. Co home aud ask Mrs. Bowser to make you some catnip ten aud tuck you up In your truudle bed." "You are a liar, sir! You are you are" But the smiling and good nntured butcher pushed him out of the door aud looked It against htm, aud Mr. Bowser was forced to walk uwny. Ho thought of appealing to the druggist, but be knew what the man would say and say It gladly. The plumber might pos sibly sympathize with Ills desire to make $'Ji 1,000 lu two years out of ten or twenty hens and a blind rooster, but he had closed his shop ami gone home. There was the tailor. But what did a tailor know about liens that laid twen ty eggs a day and were ambitious to do bettor? The world was against the man who w anted to go Iuto poultry. The April breeses sighed and moaned, the last of the January snowdrifts were runulng Into the gutter, and with his hands locked behind him he walked up and down nud thought of the thou sands of dollars that were slipping away from him, nud lu Imagination he was followed by a Hock of hens that cried out to him to grasp his fortune at the flood aud uot change off poultry for coonsklns.
