ber Just passed, were the largest in the
history of the Office, being 81 per cent
more than for the corresponding month
of 1895, so per cent more than sor the |
same month of 1896, 80 per cent more
than for the same month of 1897 and 27
per cent more than for the same month
of 1898 or for. any other month since the
establishment of the Office.

OF the demand for poultry products for
years to come. There are other features
of farm work that require more labor
than little attention to the poultry !
yards, with much less profit. .=.
