sheep raising, manufacturing shoes, stockings or watches, because so 

 much depends on the person himself. If one has but httle capital, he 

 must work, and work hard, until he gets everything to do with, then 

 it will go along very easily; but if one has money enough to hire all the 

 hard work done, of course it is just so much easier. 



There is one thing that would be of inestimable value and help to 

 the poultrymen of this State, and that is, to have a Massachusetts 

 Poultry Association, one such as every one who is interested in any 

 branch of the business, and even their friends, would be glad to join, 

 that we might work together for the common good of the whole 

 poultry fraternity. For an idea of the many things that might be ac- 

 complished, the reader is referred to the Connecticut Poultry Associa- 

 tion, which has done and is doing a great deal for this important 

 industry in that State. With a good, strong organization of this kind, 

 we could go before the Legislature and expect to accomplish any 

 reasonable object that we might desire; in fact, we could force the 

 recognition that an industry of such proportions as this rightlj' de- 

 serves.
