Women in Poultry Culture.

1t is a gratifying fact that the poultry
industry is attracting many women to
it. Our poultry associations have many
lady members. and many have won
prizes at our exhibitions. Woman, by
her gentleness and large stock of pa

hocks. Many woman suffering from
the ill-effects of close confinement in
doors is recovering her health and
cheerfulness in this interesting and
pleasing occupation. The time is COM

where attention to detail Ill small things
is an imperative demand woman excels

ness, for the space of fifteen or twenty
minutes. When at last the young dam
sci re-entered the paternal dwelling
the domestic conundrum she encoun-
tered was shot off in this summary
fashion:
where have you been all this time.
Mary Jane? Does it take you half an
hour to shake the crumbs out of table

''No, mamma" demurely replied the
ingenious miss; "but I remained out to
