If the usual protit lu a flock of hens is $1 each above the cost of food the nlm should be to increase egg pro duction and the sale of broilers or i other kinds of fancy poultry so that j mere win ie n pront or n ror each hen kept This Is to be accomplished by selecting pullets from the best lay- J ing mothers and by breeding up with full blooded mules. If the cows lu a dairy herd are pay- j lng an average of $100 a year, make an effort to raise It to $100. Perhaps I the quickest way to gain this end Is j by discarding nil animals that fall to give live gallons of milk per day for j the greater part of the year. The stock j may be gradually Improved by selee- j tlon nnd breeding. It mny be possible also to sell u part of the milk or cream to private customers who will puy double the wholesale rate.

With tbe present knowledge of alfalfa grow ing no farmer, even in the strictly corn states, can Dud a reasonable ex cuse for not having some of this to feed his hogs.
