If farmers and others who have

would give their stock to their
young sons and daughters, with
permission to enjoy and own any
profit that might accrue therefrom,
they would soon be convinced that
there is something in it. There is
certainly no more health-prOmoting
exercise than that afforded by car
ing for or having the management
of a flock of poultry; and if til c
flock is one of any of the pure
breeds, there is an addition to the
exhilerating infuence-an enthusi
asm that causes what might other
wise be considerated task to be
come q pleasure, and therefore,
profit and pleasure are combined.
Another advantage is, that raising
poultry on the farm can be attended
to quite as well, if not better, by
women and children than by men,
thus economizing the labor of the
whele family, and directing it into
the production of profit for the gen
