In doing so O'Bleniss proves himself

Profit in Fowls.

l do not think there is anything on
the farm that pays better than chick
ems and turkeys, if properly cared for.
My wife had over 800 young chickens
and about 100 turkeys besides the old
ones, on the farm at one time. If we
could procure good all seasons layer
and setter. combined with good size,
there would be nothing on the farm
that would show greater profits for the
capital invested. Those who have
been successful enough to find such
breed might benefit others by giving
their experience. l have found that
meal is the best.feed for young chicks
and turkeys. Every farm should have
a mill with which to grind feed for
poultry. John H. Curl.
