the farm to swell the current Of the city.
1t is possible that during the last
century the American farmer was the
most iinprDvidcnt and wasteful man on
earth. The useless SUMS he put III fences
that could have been advantageously
dispensed with would pay every nation
al debt in the world twice over. This
folly caused a vandal waste Of forests

been spared; but the American farmer
impoverished the soil in the same reck-

There was waste, waste. waste every

As their fathers committed desolation.
Farming is a business that calls for
brains and culture. No man is fit
for the farm that cannot get from it

battle with drouth, with weeds, with

What is more aggravating than the
refusal of the biddy to lay when eggs are
high?
The poultryman oftentimes sputters
and scolds and proposes to live on poul-
try until every hen is eaten, forgetting
that the biddy always does her duty
when she is supplied with the necessary
ingredients for producing eggs. She
likes to lay and then talk about it after
she has done the job, but she does not
like to work when she is cold, chilly and
poorly supplied with warm, stimulating
food. If she could speak good English,
she would tell you that she would like a
few rations each week Of green cut bone
and meat; that she would like warm,
clean home to live ina home with
plenty of sunshine and southern exposure
CARROLL S. PAGE of Hyde Park, VT,
supplies fresh green cut bone and meat
at $3.50 for 200-pound barrel freights
prepaid to any station in New England

Bone and Meat for Poultry,

The development of the poultry and
egg business is something simply wonder
full The fact is coming to be known
that if poultry can have clean, warm,
well ventilated home, with plenty of
sunshine and the right kind of food, they
will usually lay. During the extremely
cold months it is very essential that they
have the stimulating, strengthening
nourishment afforded by green cut bone.
Carroll S. Page Of Hyde Park, Vermont,
is probably the largest producer of green
cut bone and meat in the United States
and he will send a 20O-pound barrel to
any one on receipt of $3.50 and will
prepay the freights to any railroad
station in New England or the Middle
States.

Feeding Green Cut Bone Pays.

Mr.. A. F. Hunter, who is one of the
regular contributors to the New England
Farmer not long ago said in the columns
of that paper: Feeding fresh cut bone
to fowls, to induce abundant laying, has
proved decidedly profitable thing The
bones are rich in animal matter, and
contain lime of which egg shells are
made, and hens fed on fresh cut bone will
lay larger number of eggs than if fed
no bone. Not only will they lay larger
number of eggs, but the eggs will be
stronger oded, will be better eggs, and
if incubated will have better and
stronger chicks" c.. S. Page, of Hyde
Park, VT, on receipt of So so will for
ward to anyone a 200 pound barrel OF
Green Cut Bone, preparing railroad
freights to any station i'll New England
or Middle States.
