| Ed. HOME COLUMN: Now that the
farmers are beginning TO think about
and prepare for their spring work, it's
no more than fair that the wives and
daughters should have some out
door work of protit-pecuniary-and
of interest. There's no other busi~
ness connected with Turning which
seems so we'll adapted to the care of
the farmers wives and daughters as
"poultry raising" If all would on
ly realize the fact quite little com~
petence may be secured each year,
from the profits of the poultry yard;
at least, with but little care, all those
little luxurics that are craved for the
household could he obtained. The
profits in poultry lies III keeping
small flocks; from such it is easy to
make an income Of one or two hum
dred dollars annually, after buying
their feed And upon farm enough
goes to waste every year to feed sew
eral hundred chickens and turkeys.
Give them a warm house in winter,
and plenty Of room where they will
not be crowded; in the summer large
pasturage; if there is any thing a
chicken enjoys it is to roam at large.
Let them have access to lime-old

of meal or shorts with plenty of pep
per put in, corn, oats and hay seed !;
throw down every day torkfull of
the hay siftings for them to scratch
among to find the seeds; poultry like
chickens need to be kept busy. They
will repay such kindness by furnish
ing all the eggs for home use and a
surplus to send to market. Surely
in this land of the Minnesotians
where eggs bring from 20 to 25 cents
per dozen, from the 1st Of December
to the lst Of April, it will amply re-
pay the care Of poultry; besides
bringing the over-workcl wives and
daughters out of the hot kitchen into
the cool air. We hope those who are
taking steps toward q county fair to
be held next fill in Wadena county
will give extra premiums for poultry
exhibition. Among the best fowls to
raise for market are the Light B:ah-
mas; they are good layers and being
large in size will bring almost and
sometimes quite as much as young
turkeys: The Buff Cochins are
another good fowl, being good layers
are smaller in size but not such raw
enous eaters as the Brahmas. But
the common fowl, if we'll c,red for,
will amply repay all trouble. The
guinea fowl is also desirable; when
