E'Ae  RURAL  NEW-YORKER 
One  of  the  groat  problems  of  to-day,  es¬ 
pecially  among  the  laboring  class,  is  bow 
to  reduce  the  high  cost  of  living.  A  family 
of  my  acquaintance,  living  in  a  small 
town  near  here,  have  solved  this  problem 
to  a  finish.  This  family  of  five  had,  until 
10  years  ago,  lived  in  the  country  and 
naturally,  had  been  used  to  good  living 
without  counting  the  cost.  The  first  year 
in  town,  however,  nppncd  their  eyes  to 
the  fact  that.  ‘  This  awful  high  cost  of  liv¬ 
ing  is  what  breaks  a  man  up,”  So  they 
got  busy,  each  member  of  the  family  try¬ 
ing  to  discover  a  way  to  solve  the  prob¬ 
lem. 
When  this  family  first  moved  to  town 
they  bought  live  lots.  Their  house  was 
built  on  tin*  corner  lot  and  the  rest  of  the 
the  hens  eat.  Potato  parings  and  all 
vegetable  scraps  are  cooked  for  the  hens 
and  scraps  from  the  table  also  find  their 
way  to  the  chickens’  park,  much  to  the 
delight  of  its  inhabitants. 
During  the  hatching  season  the  egg 
diet  is  cut  out  and  the  eggs  sold  for 
hatching  purposes.  Anno  aims  to  hatch 
from  00  to  75  chicks  for  the.  family  each 
Spring.  Of  course,  there  are  always 
some  losses,  hut  she  usually  succeeds  m 
bringing  about  50  to  maturity. 
As  soon  as  the  young  chickens  are  big 
enough  she  begins  culling  out  the  birds 
that  are  not  good  in  color  or  shape; 
these  culls  furnish  fries  for  the  family 
table.  The  better  ones  are  sold  for  breed¬ 
ing  purposes.  Ten  or  12  of  the  best  pul-

A  Suburban  Hen.  Woman  and  Her  Henhouse 
ground  wns  to  ho  devoted  to  the  raising 
of  truck  for  market,  hut  they  soon  found 
that  this  did  not  pay,  as  nearly  every¬ 
body’  in  this  town  raised  their  own  gar¬ 
den  truck.  About  this  time,  however, 
one  of  the  girls  received  quite  an  inter¬ 
esting  present  from  a  friend  down  in  the 
country.  This  present  was  nothing  less 
than  a  Rhode  Island  Red  hen  and  13 
little  chicks.  livery  chick  thrived  and 
soon  reached  the  adult  stage,  six  hand¬ 
some  cockerels  and  seven  beautiful  pullets. 
Two  of  the  cockerels  were  gold  for  one 
dollar  each,  the  other  four  found  the  fry¬ 
ing  pan.  much  to  the  satisfaction  of  the 
whole  family. 
Anne’s  success  with  this  first  chicken 
crop  set  the  whole  family  thinking,  and 
finally  resulted  in  the  building  of  a 
chicken  house  9x12  feet,  with  a  park  40 
feet  square  at  a  cost  of  $50.  The  seven 
pullets  ami  their  mother  took  up  their 
abode  in  this  now  home,  and  early  in 
February  began  to  show  their  apprecia¬ 
tion  by  furnishing  eggs  for  the  family’s 
breakfast.  Early  in  March  a  purebred 
R.  T.  R.  cockerel  was  installed  in  the 
park,  and  the  first  of  April  two  broody 
hens  were  each  given  15  eggs  for  incuba¬ 
tion.  and  in  due  time  27  little  chicks. came 
forth.  25  of  these  came  to  maturity.  12  of 
these  being  imllets  and  13  cockerels, 
which  furnished  as  many  fries,  thus  re¬ 
ducing  tin*  meat  hill  to  quite  an  extent. 
The  mother  hen,  now  weighing  six 
pounds,  was  sold  to  the  packers  at  10 
cents  per  pound  and  the  cock  was  sold  to 
a  poultry  fancier  for  $2.  Early  next 
Spring  two  tine  cockerels  were  purchased 
and  the  llock  of  19  hens  did  their  very 
best  to  furnish  an  abundant  supply  of 
eggs.  After  four  hens  were  each  given 
a  nest  of  15  eggs  tin*  neighbors  began  to 
clamor  for  eggs  to  set.  These  wore  fur¬ 
nished  at  $1  per  setting  up  to  the  amount 
of  10  settings,  Rut  with  all  their  efforts 
the  four  hens  brought  oil'  only  50  chicks. 
A  neighbor's  cat  helped  herself  t  >  15  of 
these  before  destroyed  and  poor  Anne  had 
only  15  little  pots  to  add  to  the  family 
flock,  blit  10  of  these  being  pullets  made 
quite  a  valuable  increase  in  the  egg  sup¬ 
ply. 
Anne,  with  the  family’s  assistance,  has 
now  been  in  the  chicken  business  seven 
years.  She  keeps  from  20  to  25  hens  dur¬ 
ing  the  Winter  and  the  family  has  fresh 
eggs  for  breakfast  every  morning,  be¬ 
sides  selling  enough  to  pay  for  the  grain 
lets  are  kept  each  year  to  replace  some 
of  the  laying  hens  which  have  found  the 
dinner  kettle  during  the  year.  The  liens 
are  kept  only  two  laying  seasons,  half  of 
them  being  replaced  by  pullets  each  year.

year,  starting  Jan.  1.  with  24  hens  and 
two  cockerels.

family  are  doing  can  he  done  h.v  almost

according  to  the  lot,  and  besides  reducing
