The rates and assessments of these societies did not pretend to be based upon life ex,3,ectaucy, A man becom- ing a member paid a dollar assess- ment, whether Ile was 45 or 18 years ofeage. The bill would make it clear that benevolent or fraternal aooieties were not to be treated as ordinary life insurance companies in that respect, It would farther be made clear that in the case of the winding up of any, of these societies those who had paid their assessments should not rank upon the assets as for the value of au unmalurcd straight insurance pal - icy. Other clauses of the hill were irntended to clear the way of difficul- ties which had been encountered in the winding up of those societies.

It Is positively amazing to see with what rashness beginners approach the poultry business. The veriest tyro seta his figures at 8,000 chicks to be raised and marketed; a man of vigor and am. bitten is pretty sure to place the amount from 5,000 to 10,000, while oe- casionally a bold spirit soars as high as from 20,000 to 30,000-t]tes of course by persons wholly ignorant of thebust- neee. The experlenced and practical poultryman knows better without any advice on the subject. A word of warning to others may possibly result In some good, though there is no phase of insanity which seems so deeply in. grnined as the desire to produce an unlimited number of chickens to bo kept in very lbnited quarters. There may be somewhere In the United States a person who is produc- ing 30,000 cbiakens annually. There is more chance that some one is raising 20,000. The writer, however, has to humbly acknowledge ignorance of any, one who is successfully producing and marketing 10,000 in the course of any one year. When It Is taken Into con- sideration that plant after plant has I been devoted for years to the produc- . lion of poultry and that practical and experienced men find that from ora 2 00 f 0 to 3,000 or 4,000 chickens per year ars : n satisfactory product and one wince keeps them very busy, It sloes seem a little malt for the beginner to attempt anything over those figures. As a mai- 1 ter of feet, the man whorodue n ea 1,000 thoroughly good thickens In it season Is doing quite a business In poultry, and where this is done there certainly is a meth better chalice for the erode cer to go forward to larger numbers sue, eessfully than where more Is attempt 0d at the beginning without proper cal. culntioe as to the ultimate results. Too much stress is laid upon num' bees anti too little upon quality. A flock of 100 chickens properly housed and cared for will at maturity show a larger profit than three times that num. ber stunted and poorly matured through 'unwholesome restrictions In their housing, range or food. We may safely say that nine -tenths of the breeders would produce more pounds of poultry and would get more pra6ta. leo results If they would estimate the capacity of their plants according to the usual rating, reduce the estimate by 50 per cent and then confine them- selves strictly to that number, stopping all hatching operations when the given number Is reached and giving them the caro and attention that otherwise would ire bestowed on twice the num- ber of birds. It wonlcl not only mean a larger proportion raised, but the cost for eggs In production, food anti at, tcntiance would be proportionately less, while the profits would be very much larger than by the prevalent method of hatching too large numbers for the fa, citifies at band. -George H.
