Does Poultry Payc

The question may be faithfully answered
yes by some, and no by others. The profits
and losses from keeping fowls depend entire
Jy upon the facilities of the business. Those
who have poultry. houses constructed so that
their Accks may be confined and liberated

mont OF breeds, can make the business pay ;
but the farmer who Lac no other conYen-
fences for them than pole put up in the

bic. He will lose dollars where dimes are re
ceivtd.

ing for it. On the other hand, the tendency
OF the present mode of handling and push
ing the new breeds is to degenerate their
laying qualities as also their vig9r OF body.
The admirers and breeders OF Shorthorn
cattle made the same mistake in ignoring
their milking qualities. Poultry, maturing
in q single year. is easily changed in any OF
its characteristics. Fsnciers are doing q
good work in fixing the type of each breed,
establishing standard regulating the colo;
and all that gives the breed individuality.
Their facilities in yarding and communica
tons with each other enable them to do this
effectually. Should not the farmers wive:
attend TO the improvement of the laying
qualities, select eggs for Matching purpose:
only from the beet LAYERS. which are gen
orally known to them? Experience teaches
that il can easily be done, and self interest
should prompt the move in that direction.

Motion VS.. wool.


Some OF our exchanges hold that too much
importance is attached to the production of
wool and too little to mutton. In the years
gone by the greatest profit in sheep came
from OF their backs; now it comes from
under the hide. We think the thoughtful
sheep-man will endsavor to hold on TO both
the wool and mutton products of his sheep,
and by utilizing both to their full
capacity be will not find sheep raising
an improbable calling. The attention
Of the Western and Southern States has
been directed 10 securing batter facili.
ties for transportation by double decked
cars, so that mutton is becoming the primary
factor in sheep growing. Many localities can
not succeed in mutton production as well as
wool growing, hence the they viii retain
their merinos, raise large f0cks, and depend
On wool mainly, but in the summer and
early fall, they can secure by the aid OF
reasonable rates of transportation some re-
turns for their mutton. a mixed sheep, one
that will shear well and ct the same time can
be afterwards mnttoned. with carcass going
nd to 125 to $50 pounds, will be foand the
best sheep for profit.
