on corn fodder (cut in finch lengths,
with heavy, single-knife cutting box),
and hay at noon. Each night at milk

as many OF the impurities as can toe re-

The steam then goes into the condenser
and the water thus condensed flows

tank, where any impurities carried
over by the mechanical force OF the

IT IL Pays to Raise other BIoodsd stock
Why Not Fowls?
Every poultry keeper who has accu-
mulated money in the poultry business

fowl is worth more per ounce than a
mongrel is per pound But why is this
so? Simply because the pure bred
fowl has been cultivated for years and
through generation after generation
Tor specific purpose, while the mon
grel or scrub is but the product of
chance, has no fixed traits or charac-
teristics peculiar to itself, and conse-
quently is unreliable. / sometimes

Does the man who keeps pigs which
will convert n bushel of corn into four
teen pounds of pork, and weigh two
hundred pounds at six months of age
say that hogs are Improbable stock?
Neither does the man who raises any
variety of pure bred poultry and keeps
them up to the highest standard say
that fowls are Improbable. He knows
they are exceedingly profitable. If
there is anything in agriculture or
stock-raising which has been more
thoroughly or clearly demonstrated TO
