By doing this tho stock brings more money because they are uniform in color and size. In marketing these products command a premium and dealers realize that they are moro in demand than the small chickens. Often these large chickens net s1 each to the farmer after they have iayed out.
 Not only Is this true with chickens but dairy products are being handled the same way. Now that business conditions are hack to what they were before tho war, tho farmers are beginning to realize that after all 1t is the little things that mako the big ones and it was by those methods that the farm wealth of the country was built up and by these same methods they will be maintained.
