I could name perhaps twenty docks of regis tered sheep wtich have been scattered, principally on account oEdogs."
 ldessrs R. and ". POsfle of Frank lin county, O., have been in the sheep business aba1t twenty years. They say, "A good many more around here would keep sheep if it were not for the dogs.'' R. B.

in fertility and producing good, strong chicks. The importance of a strong constitution cannot be emphasized too much.
 The farmer should keep standard bred fowls only to begin with, the 1ni- tial cost, of sitting of eggs from standard bred fowls CT 8 pen of such birds today being very little higher than the cost of scrub stock. They are more beautiful than the common run of fowls, and there is no question that a person takes more interest in caring for such stonk than for mixed breeds. Then, again, the opportunities for selling eggs for matching and stock from such fozEIs are many times in creased over those to be had with the common stock. Such stock as we have mentioned often produces prize win ming specimens that sell for compara- lively large sums-
 It is no unusual thing taday for. the farmer poultryman who is specializ- ing in standard bred poultry to secure from $1.50 to $5 per sitting for Eeggs and from $2 to $5 for single specimens from his flock. If one is fortunate enough to have 8 flock which pro- duces a fair per cent of fine birds the income to be derived from such goes a long way toward buying the clothes, groceries and many luxuries for the family and home. Standard bred fowls produce uniform products, which, if properly marketed. bring much high CT returns than those from the mixed flock. For instance, the selected, clean, large white egg and the selected, clean, large, brown egg will bring "a higher return on most markets than the mixed brown and white egg. The same Is true of the uniformity in shape of the dressed standard bred as against the mixed bred fowl. Dressed poultry of the same size, weight and color brings more on many markets than dressed poultry uneven in size and mixed in color.

MONEY IN POULTRY
 FOR THE FARMER

Prepared hg United States department of
 agx4cSlture.1 The faxm ts the e1dealt place for chick, ems, and the foundation upon which all successful poultry operations rest is constitutional vtgor. Without high degree of health it ts utterly impossible to progress in poultry work. Such be- ing the case, nowhere are conditions so conducive to poultry success as they are on the farm.
 Generally the farmer has some old building that can be AEeRup with very little expense and will make a good poultry house. He is not4compelled by a limited amounted space to put his poultry house or houses on a certain spot, but can select a nices htghs dry location for this purpose, with the building facing the south. These two advantages mean a good deal to the average poultTyman.
 In addition, the farmer has the ad- vantage in that his birds can have free range, thereby securing bugs, insects, green feed and grit In abundance, the equivalent of which, if it had to be purchased, would amount to considera- ble in tIfe course of year. In most instances he can put a wire fence around the garden instead of yarding the fowls. giving him the opportunity of producing birds of strong constitu- ton, eggs from such stock being high
