GATHER UP THE cockERELS.
As soon as the cockerels can be identified
Shey should be separated from the rest of
the flock and herded by themselves. If
this can be done before they get to fight
ing among themselves there will be little
or no trouble afterward. IF the stock one
has is first class then the cockerels should
be watched so as to pick out the best 1 or
moro needed for breeding another season
n the rest sold to the best advantage.
as soon as the cockerels are selected
TO keep. If the rest are to go to the carcass
market they should be placed in small en-
and pushed hard to get them
as plump as possible and then market
them as roasters. There Is more profit in
this than In carrying them through the
summer to sell at holiday time. Get them
out of the way as soon as possible so that
time may be given to the pullets who
will produce the eggs the coming fall and
winter.
BREEDING FOR CONDITIONS.
If one raises milk to sell to
the year around it is most profitable for
him to arrange his herd so that a portion
Of them will calye in the fall and a portion
in the spring. If he makes butter, we be-
lieve the breeding for fall calves to be
the most profitable for the simple reason
butter brings a higher price in cool
weather and IL the cows are dry or par
TALLY so during the summer the loss Is less
and the food costs less. With swine and
sheep one should breed according to the
market he is to supply. AS a rule we do
not believe h a two litters of pigs a year
Is profitable in the end, though this is
something each n must decide for him
self. We are too much given to follow
ing along accustomed ines instead Of
watching the demands of our own partic-
ula market and catering to them. The
writer Is located neal a number Of popu-
summer resorts, SO, while we know
that eggs bring good prices during the
winter, u poultry venture Is run largely
for the benefit of h summer trade and
we find it more profitable thar raising
eggs in winter to sell to the permanent
of these towns. Were condi-
tons different we should operate differ
emily n probably as probably under
such conditions. Watch your own market
and. work for It regardless Of what the
other fellow does whose surrounding con-
ditions may be entirely different
