about as well as anything on the farm
From IS hens last year we sold over $52OO
worth Of eggs, besides using in our family
moro than we sold; also raising many
chickens Tor the table and to keep up our
stock. Their principal food is picked mp
around stacks and after the horses, cattle
and hogs. seldom feed them, except IN
cold weather and early summer. It pays
better to keep them for eggs than to
raise chickens for market at the price OF
poultry IN our western towns. / saw
young chickens sell in this town last sum-
mer for SLIGO per dozen. At the same
time, l was getting 1211k cents per dozen
for eggs.
Farmers should study the markets bet
ter. By keeping a record of the markets
for while, you will be able to tell quite
closely which kind of stock will pay the
best. But my idea is to keep some OF
each kind. AS you should raise variety
OF crops, SO should you keep variety OF
stock to work it over. IF you make but
ter, make the very best, and put your
name on each package, and guarantee it
to be good. IT, by some unavoidable ac-
cident, it should prove inferior, replace it
or pay back the price. Do the same If
you produce cheese. Find out the kind
that suits your customers best, and what
size they want, and then make that kind,
and guarantee every cheese. In this way
your produce soon gets reputation, and
then there is demand for it. Whatever
you put up for sale, put it up in the most
attractive form possible. If you take
eggs to market, see that they are clean
and fresh. Some sort them, putting the
white ones in one basket and the dark
ones in another. You may not get any
more for them in this market, but they
will look nicer, and often, when the mar
ket is glutted, you can sell when others
cannot. Never sell doubtful article.
Always be sure that all eggs are fresh
and good. will tell how I marketed my
hogs this winter. One, for example,
weighed, dressed, 29O pounds. I could
get offered only 4 cents per pound, or
SLIGO. We made SO pounds of good
homemade sausage, which sold readily,
in sacks of about pounds each, at 10
cents per pound; 80 pounds of lard, at 10
cents, and 1917 pounds of hams, at 10
cents. Total, in cash, $l9.25, besides we
had the head, liver, feet and scrapple
meat, worth at least $500 for our own
use. In other words, we cleared $1O.65
by manufacturing that hog ourselves.
Do you wonder that the farmers kicked,
and kicked hard, when the butchers got
up that spoiled petition, and want
ed to charge $500 day to sell our prod
uce in Wa-Keeney?
The farmer must not only be thought
full, brainy worker, but he must be good
salesman and tinancier, to make farming
success. Tact goes good ways in
making the most out of everything we
produce. and we all want to get all we
can,

half. But this is an argument which
will not weigh with the present body,
however influential it might have been
a year or two ago. "Ihere is nc

largely a burlesque upon the Grand

peculiar features that would, apart
from that saiiric purpose, commend it
to men Of humor. That eminent H-
bernian poet and ornament Of the
