bear in mind that apples, pears and
peaches are bulky; therefore nearness to
transportation facilities is most impor-
tant. On the other hand, where capital
is limited, land farther from market
costs less, and as far as the fruit is
concerned, may be just as desirable.
Wherever chosen, the land should have a
fair elevation, not on top of high hill
exposed to strong winds, nor yet in the
bottom of narrow valley, but gently
sloping hillsides are ideal, and the direc-
tion is of slight Importance. The choice
will often lie between rough or rocky
fields costing but little or those much
easier to cultivate, and so more expen-
sive at the start. The latter are, as a
rule, cheaper to handle as time goes on,
but success may be had from either
Whichever spot is chosen, it should be
naturally or easily drained, for water
must never stand near the surface in
an orchard.
The apple allows wide latitude in
the matter of soil, and some varieties
will grow on almost any land strong
enough to grow trees. For the varieties
generally grown gravel or clay gravel
soils are very satisfactory, but lighter
lands are also successful when supplied
with humus. The particular nature of
the soil is less important than location
and drainage, and many so-called run
out farms can readily be fitted for fruit
growing.
Peach Trees Are Particular.
The needs of the peach are quite diff
ferent from the apple, and to start an
orchard in locality where the mercury
drops more than five degrees below zero
is very risky; also unless located near
a large body of water that tempers the
cold. Only elevated positions are safe
even in favorable localities, Good air
drainage must be had, hence the tops
of hills or the most elevated parts of
gently sloping hillsides must be chosen.
Then, too, the peach buds must be pro-
tected from sudden changes of tempera-
ture. Choice of soils is also restricted,
as success can only be assured where
there is natural drainage and warm,
sandy soil so congenial to the peach.

You Can't Be stingy About Your Dead.

In the February American Magazine,
Alfred Ollivant, author of Bob, Son Of
Battle" writes piece of fiction entitled
Hum Drum: A Slice from an Every
Day Life" in which he makes the fol
lowing comment on the troubles of the
poor, when death enters their ranks. lie
is speaking particularly of conditions in
England but what he says applies in
this country as well:
MANY poor family never RECEIVERS
from the expenditure forced upon it by
the burial of one of its members, an
expenditure sanctifed by usage, and en-
eouraged by those interested in main
tanning it.
apart from the undertaker's bill
there is the death certificate, the wreath,
the memorial cards, the blacks for
everyone, including baby, and above all
tips-tips to the gravedigger, tips TO
hearse attendants, tips to insurance
agents: all urgent for more and know
ing you cannot well refuse. For in An
gel street you may scrape and stint in
every other matter, but to be stingy
about your dead is to endanger your So
cial position"

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
POULTRY FARMING A DIVERSIFIED
INDUSTRY
H. R. LEWIS,

N j. Agricultural Experiment Station.
No branch of our present agricultural
development offers greater latitude in di-
versity of effort than poultry husbandry.
1t is made up of so many different
branches and has so many different
sources of income that the beginner may
select the line which will best fit his
particular conditions. Before selecting
or developing any branch of work, a
careful study of market conditions and
features of location and transportation
must be made. There is constant de-
mand for strictly fresh table eggs and
for nigh-class market poultry. The
problem, then, is to choose line of
production and by improved methods
produce high quality, and no anxiety
need be felt over distribution.
The most profitable and easily man
aged branch of poultry production is
market eggs, the aim being to so hatch,
rear and manage birds that maximum
of eggs are produced during winter,
when prices are high. The requisites
are strong, vigorous pullets, Matched dur
ing April and reared on free range and
given in winter plenty of good food and
a congenial environment. The latter me-
cessitates plenty of room, an abundance
of sunlight and fresh air, together with
entire freedom from moisture. Eggs
commanding highest prices are infertile
that is, males should be kept from
the pens except during breeding sea-
son.
Capons and Day-old Chicks.
Next in order of possibilities comes
the production of market poultry, such
as broilers, roasters, eapons and fowls.
Broilers may be produced as side line
or as specialized business, preferably the
former. The surplus males which occur
in the Matching and rearing of pullets
NAV be marketed young as broilers or
kept until fall and sold as roasting
chickens. With the lighter breeds the
former method usually brings the best
returns, while in the case of the Ameri-
can and Asiatic breeds it will often be
much more profitable to hold them for
roasting. The advantages OF capon pro-
duction are larger and heavier birds at
killing time, sweeter and finer fla
vored meat and a much higher selling
value, together with lower cost Of
production.
The day-old chick business offers ex-
ceptional opportunities to the man with
small piece of land, and custom hatch
ing is one of the modern developments
of the past decade.
Possibilities in raising of breeding
stock and in production of Matching eggs
are limitless. Success depends upon quail
ity and ability to advertise.

Intelligent people realize that common

there is sneezing and chilliness with

begin promptly the use of Foiey's Honey

pleasant to take, checks cold, and stops
the cough which causes loss of sleep
