Buyinq the Ram.

The earlier the ram is selected the
more certain the buyer is to get what
he is looking after. A good many
farmers buy rams in the fall, but
wait till late before doing so. They
seldom take into consideration the
numerous delays that are likely to in
tervene before the ram is actually pur-
"ased and located on the farm. If the
buyers waits till late his order is sure
to get to the breeder at a time when
the latter has other such orders to fill.
If the breeder has more orders than
he can I.Il he has to decline to fill
the order and the buyer has to seek
another breeder. The second breeder
may he sold out as was the first and
the buyer has to try again. All this
time the weeks are slipping away
Then there are delays in shipping,
which can never be foreseen. So it
is altogether the part of wisdom for
the buyer to take steps to secure his
ram as soon as possible.

Shall Farmers Raise sroiiers? -?


The farmer frequently asks himself
il it will pay him to raise broilers
! The prices quoted for such are some
times very high and the farm reader
can but help thinking what revenue
he would have IL he had annually q
few thousand pounds of broilers to
sell. But, as a general thing, the
farmer that has gone into broiler pro-
duction has not made a success OF it.
mat is one branch of poultry raising
that seems to belong to the specialist.
The raising Of birds for the broiler
market requires very different set
OIL efforts than ooes the production OF
farm fowls generally. In the first
place the broiler raiser must do his
Matching in the Fall, and, of course,
for this work must have incubators
and brooders. Then comes the ques-
ton of an egg supply, which can sell
dom be answered satisfactorily with
out the farmer building up mock Of
hens that will produce him an ahun-
dance Of eggs in the late tall and ear
ly Winter.
Our specialists have found it ad-
visable 10 build brooder houses that
can be heated by steam. We know OF
one such recently build which cost
SI00. Whether it will pay an interest
on the investment we DO not know,
and neither does the builder. There
are few farmers that care to go so
deeply as this into the poultry busi
ness. Then the market for broilers
is confined to the cities and to a few
families and hotels IN each. The broil
ers have TO be handled a certain way
and be marketed through certain chan
nels II the profits are to be preserved
for the raiser. The farmer seldom
knows the inS and outs Of the. city
markets well enough to sell broilerS
to advantage.
In the raising of broilers great skill
is necessary, and the man that Is put
ting most of his time on other farm
work is little likely to take time to
become skillful with his poultry. This
IS the cause OF numerous failures with
raising broilers on farms. This has
led to the centralizing of the Droiler
business in the hands of comparative
ly few persons living near the larger
cities, and these have become spe.
cialists. II farmer wishes to under
take the business of broiler raising, it
would by all means be best for him to
make special investigation in person.
Let him first go to the markets in the
great cities and learn all there is to
learn about prices, time of market and
requirements and eXactions of the ul-
innate customers Then it would pay
him to visit some of the farms on
which broilers are being raised, and if
he can find some farms that are rails.

determined to get both sides OF the
story.
There is only one way for a novice
to begin the broiler business and that
is on small scale. If he depends on
the experience of others and goes
in on large scale the chances are
that he will lose all he puts into the
enterprise. There is money in the
broiler business, but it takes exper-
ience and skill to get it out
