PouitrY on the Farmer. Table.

There is not great deal OF differ
ence in the price of meats; and poul-
try, which is easily digested, ought to
be more on farmers tables than it is.
The staple meat product used on the
farm is pork. That is always hard to
digest, and if more of the vital energy
expended IN digesting pork were used
in pushing farm work and planning
better methods, farming would pay
better than it does. The poultry yard
tould not be regarded as only q
Iheans to make more money IT it
makes farm life more attractive it will
be no less profitable than If it added
directly to the bank account. -Ameri.

A World Herald reporter was attracted BY

the older inhabitants of the village of Bruce,

ing explanation 30 far as he himself Is con-
cerned:
SIN July, 1865, while my company was on

until it seemed my head would burst, and
it caused ringing in my ears, and palpita-

noise would set my heart humping. Sew

Those who can answer those perth

are utterly unable to give any detailed
account of their farming opera
tions, or whether the balance Is
on the right or wrong side OF the

management would wreck any CONNER

complaint that farming doesn't pay"
