POULTRY is GREAT FACTOR

A man very much interested in
chickens was heard the other day to
express uneasiness for fear the crop
reports might show the wheat crop OF
this year TO be of greater value than
the poultry crop. Few of us realize
how great a factor is poultry in the
success of the average farm. The bulk
Of the poultry supply does not come
from poultry farms, but from ordinary
farms where poultry is regarded as a
by-product.
Kentucky has every year one of the
best poultry shows in the country The
show this year will be held the week
of January 4th, at the Agricultural Col.
lege, at Lexington. A very handsome
premium list has been provided, and
on January 9Th the poultry raisers will
get together for a big convention. A
good time is promised to all who at
tend All is free.

BREED ONLY THE BEST SOWS,
Animals Showing Poor Feeding and Milking Qualities Should In All
 Cases Be Avoided.

It is of very great importance that you use for breeding purposes animals that are easy feeders and good suck lers. Sows in many lines of breeding show very poor feeding and milking qualities. The SOW that can produce through to weaning time in good con dition is much more valuable to you than the one that will produce that number of pigs and. on account of poor milking qualities. bring them to weaning time in poor condition. By all means avoid poor suckers and hard feeders.
