How to Sell Poultry.

know Of its merits.
This is true. not alone of fancy DOul-

The fancicr must exhibit his stock
and show to the public that the fowls
are not only good. but that they have
been bred from strains that will re-
produce good fowls.
The man who sells eggs and poultry
must advertise and let the public know
what hr has to sell. When Il customer
is secured especial care must be given
so that no fault can hr found.
The time is at hand when publicity
must be given. and no one can hope to
succeed who hides his business from

FARM %
q MATTERS.



Weigh: is the main object OF the
farmer in fattrning stock for market,
and this weight is easiest obtained by
feeding corn in order to produce fat.
Farmers have long been taught by OK
prricncr that fat is Il desirable quality,
and that it adds to the attrnctivrncSS
of Il carcass OH the stall. 1t has been
demonstrated ut the experiment sta
tionS. however. that the weight can be
secured ut less cost. with greater pro-
portion OF lean intcrspcrSrd with the
fat by feeding Il more heterogeneous ia
ton. which means that, in addition to
II liberal supply of corn. an animal
should receive II variety of food that is
not so rich in oil, starch and sugar rs
corn. This fact is worthy OF consider.
