The Poultry Yard.
THE FARM POULTRY.

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Although many make a speciality
of poultry, and devote their time ex-
clusively to the birds, / feel con-
WINGED that the farm is the proper
place for poultry raising, and that
more can be accomplished in this
way than on poultry places where
nothing else is attempted. The lat
ter is like putting all your eggs in
one basket, while the former is like
throwing a sheet anchor to the wind
ward for a violent gale. Some day
the poultry will fail US, and then if
we are depending upon them exclu-
sively we become bankrupt. But
the farmer who raises enough food
for his own table, has a few pigs for
market, a few COWS for milk and but
ter, and a horse to do general work,
with hay and corr to feed him on, is
not totally lost when a bad season
for poultry comes. He can weather
the storm, and if he owns his own
farm he is not likely to abandon the
work simply because one season has
proved disastrous.
More than this, the farm seems to
be the natural place for the poultry
because every crop we raise con-
tributes directly or indirectly to their
support. You. cannot raise corn or
hay for the cattle or horses without
producing d large amount of waste
product which the hens alone can eat
and profit thereby. The seeds of the
grass, the waste of the corn field,
and the broken heads of wheat and
oats T all appreciated by the hens.
The milk which the COWS give also
provide food for the poultry. The
sOuEmilk or the butter milk mixed
witt bread crumbs and scraps from
the table are excellent for the chick
ems. The COWS thus furnish distinct
food for the poultry that would other
wise be wasted.
Then again the orchard and the
garden furnish illimitable supplies
for the poultry, and mostly in the
form Of waste products that is, all
the waste parts of fruits and vege-
tables IA be fed to the fowls in one
form OF another. l have yet to find
anything from garden or orchard
that cannot be fed profitably to the
chickens either in the green natural
form or cooked and mixed with other
foods. Fruits and vegetables are
sure to attract worms, bugs and in
sects, all Of which the poultry need
and relish. None or very few of
these things can be raised On the
poultry farm that is distinct from a
farm, and is intended for poultry
alone. The farm is the place for the
poultry, and one possessing such a
plant is in a fair way to increase the
profits on poultry much better than
another who starts in with a poultry
plant built primarily for this and no
other purpose.

FEEDING.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1900-11-13

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
One of the most difficult things the
farmer and breeder Of cattle has to
face is the changing demand of mar
kets. Buyers are constantly chang
ing their demands, and one class of
animals will be popular a few seasons
and then another will come into
fashion. In order to make the bust
ness successful the producter must
keep abreast of the times and even
anticipate these marked changes.
This, I say, is difficult, and something
that often tries the patience and
courage severely. Nevertheless it is
something that we must grasp and
solve.
Probably the live stock market
changes in it's wants fully as much
as any branch of farming, and the
changes are so constant and imper-
ceptible that it is all the more diff
cult TO keep up with them. If it
was definitely announced that such
and such changes, no matter how
radical, would take place next season
we would be much better able to
adapt our work to them. But no
such announcement can be made,
and it is only the sharp, wide-awake
man who sees the coming change
early and changes his business &C
cOrdingly. When the heavy, lard
making hogs were in active demand
a few years ago they brought better
prices than the lighter and leaner
weights. Then there was a change.
The public wanted lean hogs, and
those who first changed their breed
ing and fattening methods to meet
this new demand made the most
money. Bacon hogs are the fashion
today, and the breeder must devote
himself to producing the finest there
is to be obtained. Canadians have
long made a speciality of bacon hogs,
and they have for years secured the
cream of the trade.
Our sheep have undergone similar
changes. At one time it was fine
wool sheep, then wool and mutton
sheep that payed. Finally we turned
to all mutton sheep, and then to the
breeds that would yield the best
spring lambs. just now there IS an
Indication that medium grade woods
will be in special demand, and it may
be that this will mean another
change. These changes in the mar
kets can be traced through the whole
history of other live stOck-pOultry,
horses and cattle. We need to be on
the alert and see which way the mar
kets are moving. When they drift
in one direction it is wise to prepare
for it and look out for a new demand
that will decide the profit and loss
for many a breeder.

Live Stock.
PURE BRED AND GRADED sTOCK

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
While there may be a difference of
opinion as to whether the average
farmer should raise pure bred stock,
I do not believe any intelligent
over of stock has any doubt about
sticking at least to good graded ami
mails. There are where it
would hardly pay a farmer to stick
exclusively to pure bred stock. I
doubt if in the majority of cases it
would prove profitable. But by on
stantly grading up the herd or flock
by the use of pure sires we come S
near pure bred animals as the condi-
tions in most cases warrant. This is
a policy that no III can neglect or
contradict. If "a man sticks to it he
is bound to have stock that will in
nearly every respect meet the de-
mands Of the day.
There are those who believe that
the average farmer should raise only
pure bred stock, and they fortify
their position with arguments that
are pretty strong. For instance pure
bred cattle will sell higher in nearly
every market, and even the beef
that ome from pure bred cattle
commands an extra premium. This
of itself is a strong argument for
the pure bloOded animals. But there is
vast difference between scrubs and
pure bred stock, and usually the
comparisons of prices are made be-
tween these two extremes. A we'll
graded herd of cattle will sell nearly
as we'll in any market as the pure
blood, and when the beef is offered
for sale IL good deal Of it will pass as
that from pure bred cattle. There is
Of cOurse all the difference in the
world between different graded
herds. One man will consider that
he is grading up his herd if he in
PRODUCES d full blooded sire once in
every two or three years, while an
! other will mean by graded stock that
which has been raised directly from
pure bred sires. The breeding to
such sires must be constant and not
occasional and spas1nodic. If this is
done there is little reason for n to
imagine that there is anything of
the scrub in the cattle, sheep or
swine. The tendency Of course is to
start in all right, and after "a few
years of successful grading to fall
back into old ways. When the ami
mails have reached a point where
they as good as any in the
market, it is very natural to think
that you can fall back upon some
second rate sire for a season, and
thus save d little money. But this
backward step is always fatal, and
may do more harm in one year than
can be rectifed in four years Of care
full grading again. E. P. SMITH.
