Just why poultry should be regarded
as one OF the luxurles TO be reserved
for special occasions In so many farm
ers' families Il would be rather hard to
decide. A pound Of poultry can be pro-
duced by the farmer as oheaply as a
pound Of beef. mutton or pork. says the
Gencsee Farmer. and there Is no good
reason why poultry should not be found
very often on the farmers table. II is
Just as profitable to eat the poultry ana
sell the pork. and a great deal more
wholesome, for as a nation. we eat en-
tirely too much pork for the general
good. The most Il the pork eaten Is
principally fat. and this does not add
TO the health or strength Of the con
sumer nearly as much as the consump-
ton OF an equal amount OF poultry
would. With a supply Of chickens,
ducks. turkeys. and geese, the farmer
could have a variety In the way Of mea;
food that makes Il possible for the cook
TO add much 70 the attraction OF the
table. Pork h hard TO digest. and this
makes II 30 much the more unfit for use
when nard work is pushing the farmer.
for all the energy uselessly wasted In
digesting food is lost In the amount Of
work one Is able TO perform. Poultry
Of all kinds Il easily dlgested and has
iess tendency to create heat than fat
pork. and the farmer who has care for
the health Of HE family viii use more
poultry than pork.--Texas Farm Jour
