Pure Breeds For Profit.

1t must be admitted that to succeed
one must use pure breeds, but the pure
breeds for the show room are not al
ways the best for the ordinary poultry
man. The fancier gives his sole
thought to the plumage and outer quail
ifications. The poultryman should en-
deavor to secure hardness and vigor
in preference to high scores, yet there
is nothing to prevent the use of birds
with beautiful plumage, if by retaining
them there is no sacrifice in some i'm
portant and desirable characteristic
which may increase in the productive
ness of the flock. Fanciers are often
compelled to raise great many birds
in order to secure one prize winner,
yet those that may not be suitable for
the show room may have been Matched
from eggs laid by the same hen that
produces the prize winner. and al!
having the same SIRE The fancier
values only the one bird with the show
room points, but the poultryman
should select the most vigorous and
robust males and the largest and
healthiest pullets. 1t is we'll to get the
show room points if it can be done, but
keep the birds most suitable, for this
desire has induced beginners to the
show room, although with no inten-
ton Of ever showing them, which has
not benefited the flock in the matter
of producing the largest possible pro-
portion of meat and eggs.
The first quality to be sought in a
breed is hardness. for if the flock is
selected every season from the hardest
birds it renders them less liable to
disease. and lessons the time and labor
required in management. Many fan
ciers lose time in attending to birds
that are physically deficient. but strong
in show room requirements, which re-
suit in the expenses being large

1t is possible for man who has in:
telligence enough to learn; money
enough to meet the primary expenses:
and physical constitution strong enough
to bear the burden, to convert any kind
OF soil into good producing condition.
But he must know enough at the be-
ginning to figure out the results. to
know whether his venture will be
paying one or not Or whether the
outlay will not be greater than any
return that he may reasonably expect
from it,
A farmer can make a farm, but a
farm cannot make farmer. There is,
therefore. the possibility that an in
telllgent man may make a successful
farmer, even though he start out with
DOR farm.
But a man with small intellect. with
out education, and without knowledge
of his profession cannot farm success
fully, however good a farm he may
have to start with. He might raise one
or two fairly good crops, but it would
only be by chance if he should make
4 paying conversion of his crops into
cash. And without intelligent cultiva-
ton the best soil will not continue to
yield good crops. OF this we have
probably all seen enough without need
ing any further proof orexpianation. In.

sllrewd, intelligent farmers; and for
tunes have been lost on good farms by
those who did not understand the bust
ness.
believe that the intelligent, we'll
educated farmer may succeed against
very adverse conditions of the land.
But poor farmer cannot succeed at
this business. He must constantly
grow poorer, and finally fail.
Success in farming, as in every other
calling, depends first upon the man
his mental and his physical capacity,
his education; and his wife. With
these conditions to start out with. then
the better the farm, the greater will be
his degree of success. But he will
succeed. George Mcintosh, in the
