lie should lot his children have a
share of it and the outcome from
them have n ohnnce TO earn their board
and clothes, and make some money under
ia influence. The boy is given n zig. o
horse or a patch Of lam to tend to interest
him and keep him on the farm; but the girl

taken for her to read, and no wonder aho

II she 10 ambitious there are many OPEN
inRs on the farm whero she could usc he
time and energy to good account. Are the
any chickens at Nil? Ia tho income from
the few hat may be lettering or playing

herself these questions, and II the answer IL
YES. then there is no opening there; but II
the answer is NO. then there 10 q chance for
her. There is always n demand for young
chickens. In winter eggs bring n fancy
price. A good poultry paper or q general
agricultural paper, with a good poultry de-
la,tment. will DO indispensable to start of
with. while many things must be learned
by experience.
Nice. wel!-dressed tn keys always sell
we'll and bring good piices. and II the farm
consists of many aores 1t would be profit
able to raise them. Some trouble will be
experienced In getting Thorn started, for
they are less hardy than chickens. but
when noe in good growing order they mar
tic allowed to range tho fields at will.
Grnsshoppers, bugs and grain will already
be scatter cd for them by tho lavish haud OF
nature. and these will be sufficient feed for
them until fall. when the addition Of grain

they are killed they should hare all the
grain they can cat.

ness. Everything must be we'll done, for
an old hon will repay neglect by giving a
small income, and Il turkey by dying right
