THE FAMILY MARKET.
why 1t Pays to Raise Poultry for Homo
Consumption.

If the markets are dull and prices
low, the cheapest place to sell is at
hon c. 1t pays to raise chickens for the
family table. When poultry and eggs
are consumed at home there are no
transportation expenses, no coops for
shipping required, no hauling to the
depot, and no commissions to, pay for
selling. There is no reason why a
farmer should pay fifteen cents, or
more, for beef and sell his poultry for
less, nor should he be content with
pork and potatoes when lie can have
poultry on his table.
Poultry on the farmers able Is more
wholesome, and a greater luxury, than
the poultry on the tables of the con-
sumers in the cities, as the supply sent
to the city markets is not always of the
best quality, much being consumed
that is very inferior. The farmer can
select the choicest and best for his use,
and can have it in fresh and whole
some condition. Ft' Z
The home market is the best and
most important The farmer should
sell only the surplus, and not allow
any poultry or eggs to be sent to the
cities until after his own wants are
supplied. 1t will be saving in some
other direction when poultry is used,
and the family will enjoy the gather.
ing around the table when the diet is
more varied.
1t is not advisable to overlook high
prices. The farmer is wise to sell his
poultry when he can get good prices
1t is not proper, however, for farmer
to sell at sacrifice when he can find a
market on his own table. The home
market is always the remedy for low
prices. When there are one or two fat
hens that do not lay, it will not pay tc
ship them, but it pays to eat them ano
save the cost of their food. Younl
fowls that will not mature in time t.
lay before winter, and which take W
room that the laying hens should have
will do more service if used on thu
table than if retained. The surplus
should be reduced before winter, il
order to save expenses. - Farm ant

There should be as much neatness
and taste displayed in all the buildings
which farmer erects on his farm as
possible, and it does not always mean
additional expense to do SO. 1t can be
kept within limit when you need to
look at the item of expense first before
you act. Very often this point is car
ried too far and with more or less igno-
rance on the part of the farmer as to
what he must expend. Economy in
building can be overdone and the point
sought entirely overreached. Instead
of its being less, the poor material put
into the building in few years falls to
pieces and repairing is the only way to
keep the tlimsy structure from falling
