PROFIT I'm Poultry.

One farmer down East, In order to
find out where the leaks and where the
gains were, kept an exact account with
every department OF his farm. He dis
covered that he was losing money on
his beef cattle, that hogs just paid for
themselves, that sheep were good II
his lambs came early, and that the
poultry made the largest per cent Of
profit of any feature of his farm. The
result was that he quit fooling with
beef and hogs and put more money and
time into poultry. The increased pros
perlty on that farm was so marked that
he wrote out for publication his expe-
rience.
Because a hen is small and steer
Is big Is a child's reason for having
contempt for the former and respect
for the latter, says Farmers Voice.
One Of the biggest money makers in
