12 Farm Poultry 



While the best products may be sent long dis- 

 tances by express with profit, the poorer ones sel- 

 dom pay for the extra cost of rapid transit. Supe- 

 rior products create new demands. Since more 

 attention is now paid to poultry-raising in this 

 country than was given to the industry but a few 

 years ago, many highly prized special articles 

 have been produced which find a ready market 

 at remunerative prices in nearly all of the large 

 cities. As" better products are placed on the market 

 and as people of means become aware of this fact, 

 the demand for a good article soon becomes as 

 strong and constant as that for the cheaper and 

 more staple articles. As soon as a worthy article 

 is produced regularly, customers are ready to pur- 

 chase. The best on the market is usually sold first, 

 and at prices considerably in advance of that for 

 common or ordinary grades. Better work with 

 poultry will eventually insure better products, 

 which find ready sales, and, in turn, create new 

 demands. It should be the aim of each person who 

 is about to enter the poultry business to produce 

 the best which the market affords. The greatest 

 skill is required to furnish the best, but articles 

 which are produced with great skill and a thorough 

 knowledge of the business usually yield the greatest 

 profits.
