MIXED POULTRY RAISING.

There will always be some poultry
raisers that will find II 10 their adj.

production OF one kind OF poultry pro.
duct and that too from one breed But
there will always be moro who will
take pleasure In raising a variety of
breeds and producing various things

his intensive efforts into money. but
his plant will be idle n large part OF
the year. Whether a poultryman is 10
be n specialist or follow some plan for
putting on tho market n variety OF
poultry products must depend on the
person. especially on HIS particular

that follows mixed poultry raising has

The amount OF damage TO farm
crops by these little pests is very
great. II Is estimated that Ia 1901 the
damage TO the alfalfa growers OF Kan.
sas from the rayages OF the pocket

Is OF two-fold character ia that they
