When a breeder or farmer starts in with Conlin= poultry ---common only so far as not !being pure 'bred is concerned -- he watches everything earefully, and works every known point to make a good profit. With those who commence with pure-bred fowls, however, most be. gainers firet figure on getting a big price for all the eurplue birds they can raise, basing tide on what they paid for the stock they commenced with. Many good birds may have been. bred, but the orders at good prices come in very Woody, and soon the breeder gets out of heart, and his castles in the air are dispelled, for- getting that it take 6 time to build up a reputation, and trade. Let the breeding of pure-bred poultry be conducted so thateit will pay a, fair profit, even if all the eurplus birds have to be sold for food, and then whatever number of birds are sold at good figures for breeding stook will be so muelt clear gain.

The truth dawns on many of our farmers' that a buebel of grain will net more money, put through the gizzards of poultry, than if fed to any other stock. They put up buildinga to accommodate fowls and design to extend this branch of their industry. Suoh men will not err by oltivating two breeds, say, Brea. ms and Legliorne.
