The head Of each figure was de-

THE
POULTRY YARD.
POULTRY, arRUrr AND LAND.
Why it is Best to Combine Fruit and
Chicken Raising.

Why it is Best to Combine Fruit and
Chicken Raising.
In trying to make the most possi-
BILE out of the poultry business, it is
desirable to combine it with fruit
and to locate on land that will in
crease in value. A high priced pro-
duct like poultry and fruit will return
a big income from small lot of land
and will enable the owner to pay taxes
without much feeling the expense,
and the market for the products will
be enough better in such locations to
warrant the extra cost.
The land should be planted to such
fruits as sour cherries, Japanese
plums, ounces and pears. Start with
some of the best poultry stock in the
country almost regardless OF cost.
Pick out breed that has good practi-
cal qualities and, if possible, breed
that is not fully appreciated but for
which a market can be built up.
Most of the money in fancy poultry
has been made by the first breeders
who took up breed and brought It
into the public notice.
Put up low cost buildings. Better
put the capital into stock and adver-
Using than into high cost buildings.
If the poultryman is somewhat of a
beginner and afraid to invest in high
class stock because doubtful of his
ability to handle it the first few sea-
sons at a profit, the safer plan is to
buy a few hundred of the best eggs
that can be found and gradually learn
to breed and sell this stock. The
profit from plan of this kind will
come first and mainly from the poul-
try, second from the fruit and third
from the possible rise in the value OF
The land. The plan has worked out

tuck.
On the other hand, there is some
thing to be said for the man who To-
