TRY valuable to the fahlher7" gives the
following reasons:
| l. Because he ought. by their means.
to convert a~great deal Of the vase
Of. his farm into money in the shape
of eggs and chickens for market
/ Q. Because, with intelligent manage.
n,ent, they ought to be all-year rev
enue producers. with the exception OF
penhaps two months during the mpult-
Ing season.
3. Because poultry will yield him
quicker return foryt the capital invested
than any Of the other departments OF
agriculture.
1. Because the manure from the
poultry house will make valuable COM
post for use in either vegetable on gar
Gen orchard. The birds themselves. Il
allowed to run In plum or apple or
chard, will destroy all injurious insect
life.
s. Because, while cereals and FRUITS
can only be successfully grown In GER
tain sections. poultry can be raised for
table use or layers Of eggssin all parts
Of the country.
8. Because poultry raising is an en-
ployment IN whic hthe farmers daugh-
ters can engage, and leave. him free to
attend to other departments.
Z. Because 1t will bring him the best
results in the shape Of newlaid eggs

8. Because to start poultry rais.nS

spirit of the nation was evidenced to-

and marines as they marched along
to the strains of the national anthem.
The procession passed through dense
masses of cheering people, while win.
dows, balconies and roofs were very
generally utilized. and the larger open
places, such as Trafalgar square, were
crowded to their capacity.
In its origin the mayors procession
was intended as an assertion of the
importance of trade and commerce,
long previously ground down by kings
and mobiles. The city companies came
into existence, formed a powerful
municipality. and, making Guild hall
their Headquarters. took care, as a
warning to all whom it might con-
Germ. to have the mayor installed with
the utmost pomp. In the course OF
time the ceremony lost this particular
significance. II became a tawdry
napeant symbolizing the growth and
