POULTRY FARMING.

A reader writing from Pennsylvania
owning farm located near the best of
markets wishes to know If he may
safely go into the poultry business on
a large scale. There is this about the
poultry business: A limited number of
fowls, say 125, given the range Of q
farm homestead will need but little
care and will almost always do well.
This is the common way Of raising
poultry. Then there Ia the other way,
where the raising Of fowls is made a
special business. where large numbers
are kept and the most scientific meth
DDS used. The average man or woman
cannot take up this latter method sue
cessfully all at once, but must be train
ed for it. Many such poultry farms are
In operation in the east, where as many
as 5000 hens or ducks are cared for on
one farm, and the business Is highly
profitable. We cannot conceive Of any
better use to make of a run down east
ern farm than to use 1t in the poultry
business and have often wondered why
more Of them were not 80 used. The
demand for poultry products is always
good. If we were thinking Of taking up
a business on the large scale we would
take a course Of practical instruction at
one Of the big farms before we COM
menced business on our own account.

HE WON OUT.

1t was grasshopper year in the
northwest. He was trying to hold on
to his farm in spite Of discourage
ments which were well nigh over
whelming. His house was a sod shack.
his barn few poles and pile of
straw. his grain and corn fields and his
garden stripped clean by the grasshOp-
per scourge. He was ragged and un-
kempt and his poor wife and little
ones, his team and entire outfit, seem
ed paralyZed with poverty. He had
nothing to offer us but some cold john
nycake and cup of cold water when
we sought to obtain some refreshments
at his place. But with ii all he was
gritty and said that he was going to
stick it out somehow. This was twenty
five years ago. Last year we were at
his place again. There was a nice large
and comfortable farm home, big red
barn. a wealth Of cereal crops, focks
and herds, the grasshopper claim had
become q model western farm worth
$50 per acre, and the grit and courage
of the pioneer were at last splendidly
rewarded
