There are many other things that w
might ~particularize, but wish to Offer
word with regard to marketing. There ar
a number who keep a few COWS and mak
fresh butter for sale, while many rely upol
their poultry for income during winter
Butter-making in winter, though more prof
liable than in summer, requires a greatad
dition of labor and also additional sill
Some doubt if good, rich, firm, yellow Hut

Poultry can be made very profitable If
winter. In fact, it is better at this seaso1
than in summer. But it requires a goo(
poultry-house, and everything properlyar
ranged for the business. Like everything
else, it requires attention, but the time Ear

bear a good price. There is much depend
ing upon the temperature of the rooms,
quality of the food, ETC., and when the eggs
are produced there is some Judgment I'd be
used in marketing. Don't neglect to tell
your customers that the eggs are fresh.
Never mix them with packed eggs, Ind
never sell packed eggs without informing
your customers Of the fact. Many of bul
farmers make this mistake. They put an

ana store them away in a damp cellar. In
stead ofseliing at the first approach of cold
#ear.ler, with the first advance, they keep
vhem for Christmas, and as they have not
been dipped in any preservative they sell
them to the inexperienced consumer as fresh
eggs. When these eggs are needed for use
one-half are found to be rotten and the rest
so musty rs to be unfit for anything. Tits
a little singular that an intelligent man
would sacrifice his reputation for a few
cents advance OF the price of a dozen eeos,
yet it is done every season. Heed our warn
ing if you would be successful in your
calling.
The slight advantage of obtaining an adj
vance upon an inferior article is done at the
expense of ones good name. One little
misdeed of this kind will ruin a reputation
Which it has cost years to establish. In all
things use Judgment and good common
sense, and as the years come and go the
cares Of life grow less-its comforts being
multiplied.
