Farm Fowls.

Fowls on the farm should in the very
nature of things be the most profitable
of all fowls. They cost little to. feed
and the space they range over costs no
more on account of the presence of the
fowls. Most of them have free range
and forage for their food; this is profit
able for the owner and enjoyable to the
fowls. .5..i5. 81 ~it,j.
Most farm focks are too small. They
might easily be increased in size with
little effort and small expenditure. 1t
has been said that fowl will pay a
dollar year clear profit under such
conditions as prevail on the average
farm if they are rightly housed and
cared for. This is surely large enough
a profit to be interesting to any farmer.
Usually the farm fowls do not get cred
it for all they really do, for the farmer
seldom figures In the eggs and other
poultry products used by his own fam
lily, which make quite an item in the
course of year.
Not only the quantity should be in
creased, but also the quality. There are
vastly greater possibilities for profit in
pure-bred fowls than in scrubs. They
look better, weigh and lay better, and
really are better in every way.-Agri-
cultural Epitomist.

A SpecuIatOr's Trick.

When a COW is seen standing in a
market with young calf by her side,
the pair displaying a mutual affection
toward each other, it is not a guarantee
that there is any relationship between
the two. They may be no more akin
to each other than the poor little
founding is to the professional baby
farmer, who has adopted it for con-
sideration, except that the COW, hav-
ing acquiesced in the substitution, dis
plays some affection for her foster calf,
and is prepared to do her duty by it.
1t is not at all uncommon for a calf
to be put to cow that has been some
time calved, or, more commonly, that
has given birth prenaturely to a dead
calf. Buyers vat the cattle markets
need to be on the lookout for numer-
GUS tricks of the kind.
