Pembina county have the right
idea Of road building and are
sure of making a success OF it.

It is said that people don't
make their money work half as
hard for them as they work for
their money. The homely old
virtues of thrift and economy
are gone. Those old virtues made
for peace and contentment but
are recalled by many as quite a
bore.

SPECIMENS OF INTELLIGENT POULTRY
BREEDING.
q fact, there is more a to sup,
pose that the 200 egg commercial hen
Is coming.
This achievement with the hen is OF
more significance because it has come
so early in the history Of intelligent
poultry breeding. Improvement Of the
dairy cow dates back almost q CEN
tury: improvement of the hen for egg
production Is q matter Of less than a
generation. The ease with which con-
ditions surrounding the fowl can be
controlled and the rapidity with which
generations may be produced have. Of
course, made this quick improvement
possible. Yet we know SO little Of
the principles of breeding with respect
to fowls that the optimist is justified
in predicting ONE startling records
for the future. when the real utility
hen is developed.
The poultryman must be faithful to
his task. He needs to stick to a plan
Of breeding with the same tenacity
that the. early stockmen used, and re-
suits will be just as surely forthcom-
ing. The hen is no more subject to
chance than other live stock.
