The EARMER,s POULTRY,
1t Never Received So Much Attention
as II Does AT Present.

It Never Received 81 Much Attention
as II Does at Present.
Poultry on the farm never received
50 much attention as is now being given
to 1t, Not SO very long ago those farm
ers who paid particular attention to
poultry were looked upon as being
"cranlls' and wasting a lot of time
on work that the women should be al
lowed t. attend to-. These men were
wiser than their generation, and to
them the poultry industry owes much.
They built good poultry houses, took
care Of the chicks, provided proper
food and made money out of their
Hocksi and others, becoming convinced
that it pays to take good care Of hens,
followed in their footsteps, until now
the man who neglects the hens Is the
II who creates remark.
There is no doubt that the hens have
helped out many a farmer during the
years Of depression, and now they are
profitable than ever before.
II is not necessary for the farmer to
start out as a poultry fancier in order
to make a success Of his poultry, but the
one who begins by taking good care of
the poultry he already has win, before
very long, ba looking after pure-bred
stock, because he will want to get the
greatest profit, and will become con.
WINGED that pure-bred poultry is SUI
perior to any mongrel stock he may
have.
One breed is enough for a farm, and
when all the hens look alike the flock
is much more attractive than it would
be IL made up of mixed coIors.
White Plymouth Rocks, Barred Ply
mouth Rocks or White Wyandottes are
all good breeds for the farmer. They
are easily bred to uniform color and are
the best all-round fowls we have.
Brahmas, light and dark Houdans, Leg.
horns or Langshnus are all good fowls
and are probably the best for the farm
er who gives good care to his hocks.-

about were many gentlemen who looked
upon her with establishment while she
produced the nickel
