breeds to keep, says:
In my experience have found that
one of the first considerations in select
ing birds for poultry yard ought to be
the kind of soil on which they are to be
kept This is point which believe
has as yet not been touched upon by
your various correspondents, but con-
slider it an important factor of success
If it chances that the would be poultry
keeper has dry, sandy or gravelly soil
he can then select any breeds to place
therein that he may fancy. Should his
soil, however, be cold, damp or clayey.
great care will have to be observed in
the selection of stock. for there are
many breeds that will not thrive on such
lands. On wet, low lying lands would
keep only ducks or geese. These will
thrive and return a fair profit.
When practicable it Is certainly adj
visable to select for ones poultry yards
and runs sandy or gravelly soil. But
as this is not always possible will sug-
gest, where one has damp clay soil to
contend with, that the Leghorns, Plym-
outh Rocks, Cochins, Brahmas or
Houdans will do better on such soil
than will the Spanish, Dorkings and La
Fleche. Another point Of importance to
be settled before selecting ones birds Is
whether the fowls are to have extended
runs or be confined to small quarters.
While plenty of room is essential to best
results, there are breeds that do fairly
well in small runs. The Minorcas and
Leghorns, Houdans and Plymouth Rocks
will. for instance, be found more profit
able in restricted quarters than will the
Hamburgs, the lighter varieties of the
Spanish tribe, etc.

Manure is money. See that it is put
where it can draw interest.
1t is said that Q per cent. Of the corn
crop is lost if it is held in the granary
over eight months
The farmer should not own farm SO
large that he cannot find time to devote
to his grounds. yards and garden. A
farmer with too much land is more the
slave than the lord of his domain.
1t is generally supposed that such
thingsas sawdust have little or no value:
but when they are used as absorbents to
collect the liquid manure they at once
attain commercial value not to be de-
spised.
New land is advocated if turnips high
in quality and free from worms are de-
sired.
According to the live stock report, the
imports of wool for the year will be
