HINTS FOR FARMERS
Profit In Poultry,

With fifty acre farm, one-half de-
voted to poultry culture and the other
to the raising of grain, a man can with
one hired assistant clear more money
in year than he could had he worked
a section of land for all ii was worth.
He can grow fowls--chickcns. turkeys,
ducks and geese-both for eggs and
meat, and with our rapidly growing
population and the consequent increas-
Ing demand there will never be Il time
when young chicken Will beg for n
place in the market Mt from - to 30
cents. On the contrary, the market
will beg for the fowls at prices from
25 to 80 per cent higher.
Poultry IS as sure crop as any that
may be grown on the farm. True, you
may have cholera or some other trou-
blesome, disease, and your flock may be
greatly reduced, but nrc not droughts
and cyclones likely to play equally as
much havoc with growing crops?-
