Ii is generally conceded by.those living
10 the Eastern States who farm 10 make a
living that farming under present condi-
tons IS not satisfactory. Legislation,
combination, and organization are some Of
the many plans suggested it'll which to
remedy existing evils. While these plans
suggest many valuable features, they can
not alone work ont a cure, since they fail
to recognize the necessity Of improvement
in the farmers themselves. The time is
fast approaching, if not already here, when
the eastern farmer, who depends upon the
product of a few acres TO pay current ex-
penses and afford a living for himself and
family, must make many radical changes.
If tic tine has arrived when corn and
wheat growing can no longer lee made
profitable, we must of necessity turn our
attention to some one or more Of the many
specialhes connected with farming that
may be made to Yield q fair return for
capital invested, and care and attention be-
slowed. The specialties referred TO are so
numerous that in their selection none need
choose an occupation that will prove dis
tasteful, for work Of any kind, if viewed as
so much drudgery, will yield tho one who
performs it slow returus.
In recent years when conditions and 10.
c~alities are favorable, many farmers have
changed their former rotations, ard dairy
ing, fruit growing, market gardening and
poultry raising are some OF The specialties
resortedto. We believe there is no other
branch Of busiuess connected with farm
ing that can be made TO yield as great a
return for the care bestowed as poultry,
if properly looked after and attended to.
We also believe, speaking ia a general
sense. that it is less cared Tor than any
other one thing the farmer seeks to pro-
duce, and because OF such neglect, and the
failur that must inevitably follow, has
originated The discussion that has proposed
this question for Onr consideration today;
and from the consequences OF this same
neglect can be CLEANED the reasons Why
this question.a as proposed ., SO often receives
a negative reply.
Having made the assertion that poaltFy
raising can be made profitable, we will
now consider how such success can best he
attained, and notice what conditions
exist when such success is not secured.
Nearly every ono engaged IN agricultural
pursuits is more deeply Interested in one
or two crops or kinds OF stock than in the
several others that should alike share his
care ard watchfulness. Some farmers may
aptlv be termed corn growers. With such,
corn is king, and obey magnify their pros

TO the amount of golden kernels they may

farmer We meet may be an enthusiasts
tic cattle breeder, who never wearies of
repeating the lengthy pedigrees to which
his handsome, sleek. thoroughbred aHi-
mails are entitled. Bat we very seldom find
a farmer who is equally and widely inter-
ested in all the farm crops and al The farm
stock alike, bat hen v do fad him the
discovery rewards the search, for N him
will you find the practical, progressive,
successful man.
