III OF the most profitable side lines
on the farm Indeed, many
farms are run at u profit with poultry
alone. If poultry is profitable on n
place where all the feed must be
bought it should be doubly SO on
the general farm, where much of its
feed is made up Of waste products.
TOO often the work Of caring for tho
poultry is left to tie wuinen and chill

they can do all right, but the man Of
the place should not consider it be
meath his dignity to lend Il helping
hand when it is needed.
If poultry is to be kept at profit

machine shed, the apple trees on the

too far from the dwelling either, in

fairly high and naturally well drained.

Animal Swimming.

Although all reptiles and most an
imals and insects are able to swim
in varying degrees, few possess the
swimming power of human beings.
A man has been known to swim thir-
ty miles without a pause, and the
only land animal who approaches
this performance is the American
black bear.
The American deer, however, will
swim twelve or four
teen miles at stretch. 1t is note
worthy that, whereas the hare is a
proficient swimmer, the rabbit can
not swim at all. The common
mouse and the field mouse can swim
lly few yards, and often browns
;. yhe act, yet rats can swim splen-
idly. Lions and tigers swim well,
although only from necessity, to
cross a river, for example. The
horse can swim for miles without
becoming exhausted, and shows a
wonderful instinct in choosing the
best available landing place. Bears
and moles can swim well, but bats
and monkeys are helpless in the wa
