Guineh Fowls on Farms.

Every farmer ought to have few
guinea fowls to add to the variety of
feathered life on the farm. They are
also good protection against such
depredators as hawks and other enc
mics of young chickens, their loud
cries on the approach of any such in
truders giving signal to the weaker
fowl to make its escape. Guineas are
rather wild fowl and will not bear
confinement well. 1t is not best to
keep them unless there is good range.
The hens are great layers, but will
mostly steal their nests, and will bring
off very large broods. The young
guinea fowl are very hardy, and not
so subject to disease as are other
fowl

Henry Wallace says correct theory
of farming requires that the fertility
of the land be maintained. This is the
farmers capital, not the land itself,
but the valuable fertility of the land.
The exhaustion of this is the exhaus-
lion of the farmers capital stock. In
selling grain we simply sell our land
by picemeal, not the profits, but the
land itself. The correct theory, there
fore, Of farming involves not merely
grain production, but meat produc-
tion, and meat production primarily

our grain to the best market and can
thereby keep up the fertility Of the
