HIGH-CLASS POULTRY.
Why the Progressive Farmer VIII
Rnisc No Other Kind.

No man has u better chance to keep
high-class poultry than the farmer. He
has unlimited range for them, and this
IS conducive to health and best results
in rearing the young. He produces at
first cost every necessary food product
that goes to keep a flock during the
year, and no one who desires to pur-
chase eggs for Matching would ever buy
of breeder who keeps his fowls penned
up if he knew where he could get eggs
from farmkept fowls.
There is just as good market for
high-class poultry as there is for
poultry for market, and the demand is
always good for good stock. The farmer
who keeps this kind of poultry has two
chances to make money His flock will
be profitable as an investment at mar
ket prices, and he viii make many sales
without effort at much above market
prices.
1t is no trouble at all, as the writer
knows from experience, to get from so
cents to one dollar a dozen for eggs
from high-class hens during the hatch
there is an immense profit in the bust
ness.
With the better care that is always
given to good stock comes a greater re-
turn in eggs and meat for the feed used,
and here is an additional profit on the
transaction.
There is no excuse in these days that
iustities any farmer in allowing his
flock of hens to remain mongrels. The
man who does this is landing in his
own light and does not live up to his
opportunities. 1t does not need fancy
houses, elaborate systems of yards nor
extraordinary skill in breeding to make
a success with fine poultry. Plain. hard
common sense, such as is needed to
raise good crops and conduct any farm
successfully, is better than any number

AN ELEPHANTS FOOT.


One of the Most POnderous Pieces OF
Animal Anatomy.
Anyone who ever glanced at the foot
OF an elephant must be aware that it is a
Ponderous piece of anatomy. but its
actual size is best illustrated by an
Hnecdote.
Two men in the Central park 700 were
speaking on this subject, and one of
them thought the circumference of the
foot must measure at least four feet.
His friend laughed at this, but the
younger man, after a second time gaug-
ing the size, insisted that his guess was
correct
"Nonsense-quite impossible!" ex-
claimed his friend
And then. as the younger man still
claimed that he was right, they laid a
wager and referred the matter to the
keeper.
What is the circumference of the
fore foot of that big elephant?" they
asked.
The circumference of an elephants
foot is very nearly half the animals
height.' replied the keeper.
"Will you be so good as to measure
it?' asked the amazed visitor.
And the keeper got a long cord and
went in beside the monster, Bazzle, who
stands eight feet five inches in height.
"Of course / measure while the ami
NAL is standing squarely on all tours"
he said. IF I were to take the foot up
