In carrying on the business of profita
ble poultry raising there is buying and
selling to be done; the whole situation
must be studied; the outgo must be
regulated by the income, present and
prospective, the market must be
watched; the work from first to last
must be regularly aud systematically
done if the best results are to be ob
taiued; in other words, this business is
like any other business, the same fac
ulties and methods to the great mer
chant or manufacturer are called into
i action. Habits of regular application
are acquired, lessons in economy are
learned, carefulness is found to be the
watchword of success, and thus the
youth comes to manhood well equipped
for the work of life.
During the whiter, wlieu the hens
cannot be given a good range, it is a

It is said sumac berries will cure
cholera. A neighbor had cholera in
his flock, and soon as he commenced
feeding sumac they ceased dyiug and

How many of the farmers are there,

each year and depend on the early
hatched pullets for their egg supply?
And yet we cau assure them that the
egg supply will greatly increase with
the same number of pullets as of the
old birds.
