ON A SOUND BASIS.
From n Mere Pastilne Poultry Keep
ing Has Developed Into q Sound
and Safe Business.

Half century ago poultry keeping
was simply a fashionable amusement
and pastime. The beginning may be
said to be about 1S47 to 1850, at the
time of the Introduction OF the Shang-
hais. Those who have some knowledge
of the history of the past have a fair
idea of what poultry has accomplished.
The, casual observer Of years age, saw
only enough of it to disgust him with
the whole business. Men who were
engaged in it saw enough money in il,
and as many as had Judgment enough
to curtail expenses and reduce stock
at the right time came out with little
money and more or less experience, the
latter worth perhaps as much in the
long run as the money. A great many
so-called fanciers, however, went into
the business merely for the sake of the
speculation and excitement it afforded,
and went out of it without knowing
or caring anything about the ultimate
results. of the' poultry interest at large.
Fanciers of this type (and it is possible
that there are few of them in the
business yeti were interested only in
the proceeds. with no thought of what
poultry breeding has done for the i'm
provement of the general stock of the
country and the increase of the prod
ucts of the poultry yards of the nation.
There have always been some faneers
who were true fanciers not specu-
lators-who worked for nobler ends
than merely to make money. The
money end, of course, was not lost sight
of, but it was not the governing pur-
pose.-Farm and Fireside.

Life to the most favored is not
always full Of sunshine, but to tho
average American girl or woman who
is obliged to work for her living, and,
perhaps to help others ut home, life is
often a heavy drag in consequence Of
Illness.
Women who work, especially those
who are constantly on their feet, are
peculiarly liable to the development
of organic troubles, and should par
ticularly heed the first manifestations,
such as backache, pains in the lower
