WILLITTS, WESTON, ONT. (Continued.) rt is an astonishing fact than the farmers of Canada will continue to stand in the way of their own interests by keeping such a miserable class of poultry as is found on the average farm; those who have added thorough- bred fowls to their live stock resdily see the advantage of them, but the best stock on earth will not he profit- able unless managed with the same business discretion which should char- acterize all farming operations. Huv. ing given an inkling of the possibili- ties of poultry raising, 1e will now enter upon the practical details of the subject, and in order that all our readers may thoroughly, understand us we shall have to start at the "beginn- ing," and take nothing for granted ;those old veteran breeders who probably know ruore of this subject than the - writer, and who may. get tired of wading through so tnueh dementary detail can skip that portion of it, but it must appear for the benefit of those of our readers who= are more tyrone, anxious to learn anything that may prove of benefit to thein. If at any tune the writer advocates any method or makes any statement that dome not coincide with the readers views, please ren]entber that you are not bound to accept it as authority, and, it is given here simply as our ,opinion which we must stick to until c.nvinced that we are wrong. MAKING A START. We have frequently been asked which is the best general purpose breed ; now, if we mention any par- ticular breed as being the best, some of our brother breeders:might `take ex- ception to the statement, as there are several breeds that lay claim, to this honor. A doctor who takes the same medicine himself, that he prescribes for bis patients would at least be con- Fidered a consistent physician, similar- ly we say that after years of experi- menting with the various pure breeds iu our search for the most practivally useful fowl, we long ago decided 'that for our purpose the Plymouth Rocks were superior to all others ; the longrr we breed them the better we like theta, and we confidently recommend theta to all who want a general purpose breed. Plymouth Rocks are good lay- ers, particularly in cold weather when eggs bring the best price, they are good table fowls, being large and producing a fine quality of meat, urd very hardy at all ages, indeed we lind them with- out exception the hardiest of any breed we have ever experimented with ; the chicks grow fast and feather early and are fit to kill at any age from eight weeks old ; .they Make the most at- tractive table poultry of any breed with which we are acquainted and finally when well bred they aro alutnd- some variety. nix combination of good qualities will account for our preference of the Plymouth Rocks, but it is for you to select a breed that will suit you the best; a few suggestions may perhaps assist you in making the selection.- The election."TThe income from your fowls is to he derived from eggs, and market poultry, therefore it le important that you *elect a breed that produces an abun. •data a of eggs early in the ieason When , ..... ...._ ......._.._r -R. �. �. � .,... ,. -....._. _ .. _ _. ....._._, the weather iscold and m ` CORDON oat of the & MCINTYRE, heus in the country are doing nothing, you will obtain the best prices of the. year for such, eggs as you wish to sell and you will be enabled to hetoh your chickens early, the pullets being saved for next winter's laying stock, and the eeckerels being placed on the market early before the general supplies of of spring chicks appear, will bring a good price, and' often pay the cost of A Talk With Our Customers.
