20 the production of the COW pea. On
good land two tons of this plant can
be produced per acre, yielding 4S1.6
pounds of protein, costing asa cents
a pound. Besides this, it stores up
nitrogen in the soil which it gathers
from the air. In view of it's value
in feeding it should be cultivated
much more extensively for this pur
pose.
2. Cotton seed meal gave the bet
ter results when combined with corn
meal in the proportion of 1 pound of
the former to ~ pounds of the lat
ter than when fed alone.
8. This experimet indicates that
native steers can be successfully fed
at home at a fair profit. Itfurther
indicates that all the n stover
now wasting in the fields should be
shredded and fed.
9. The tables bring out the i'm
portance of individuality in the ami
NAL and show the necessity of i'm
proving our feeding stocks by cross
ing with purebred sires.
10. The results of this experiment
favor the use of a ration of corn

The Poultry Yard.
POULTRY MEAT INCREASING IN DE-
MAND.

Correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
If one was inclined to be pessimis-
tic it would be easy to harbor a fear
that in a few years the great number
of people raising poultry for market
would cause such a surplus that
prices would drop below the point of
profit. Despite the fact that more
people are engaged in raising poul-
try and eggs for market than any
other farm product, the industry is
about the only one that has never
been overdone and probably never
will be. The demand seems to grow
faster than the supply. A few years
ago brOilers and fine roasting chick
ems were considered luxuries only
for the rich. To day in every city
and town they are ordinary articles
of diet. This is due to the fact that
new methods have enabled the grow
ers to produce brOilers and rOasters
at prices never before dreamed of,
and at the same time sell them at a
fair profit so they can be bought by
all.
Poultry was never eaten so gener-
ally as to-day and the demand is
steadily increasing. In thousands
of homes chickens are eaten today
where a few years ago meat of COWS,
sheep and swine was the ordinary
daily food, with poultry on Sunday.
The incubator and broOder have en-
abled the producer TO raise poultry
so that the poorest families of cities
can afford to buy them. This has
been the great cause for the rapid
increase in the demand. The mar
ket has simply been brOadened by
these inventions. Anything that
helps the grower to raise chickens at
less expense, or that assists in the
more general distribution of the
poultry, tends to broaden the mar
ket and increase the demand. At
present the distribution of poultry
is one of the most serious problems
confronting those interested in this
business. In spite of cold storage
houses, fast expresses and refrigerat-
ing cars, some city markets are
glutted with poultry while others
have not enough for ordinary use.
This always works an injustice to
the poultry raiser. If he happens to
send his products to the overstocked
market he loses. No matter how
good his poultry is or how carefully
it be dressed and packed, the prices
received Will be inadequate. The
hope of the poultry raiser is in the
improvement of distribution and the
broadening of the markets, while at
home he has the problem to study of
finding cheaper ways to raise the
birds and more scientific methods of
preparing them for the market.
These questions are all broad ones,
but they will be slowly solved by
those who have taken up the work
as a life study.
