dairying, the kccpinn of cows fur milk. You know in the 

 poultry business you have the whole world to draw 

 from. If you have something i^nod to offer the world 

 will make a beaten path to your door. 



Just a brief cuniinu-ison. Take the professions enum- 

 erated above. It requires seven years to go through 

 school and four years to acquire a degree, eleven years. 

 Then what? Vou either annex yourself to some hospital in 

 order to become more prolieient or join forces with some 

 other practitioner, or you strike out alone and rent a 

 small office, furnish it and wait for business to come. 

 You can in your own mind draw the pictm-e of the 

 young doctor, or dentist or lawyer just out, sitting and 

 waiting in his office for business to eonie. Thousands 

 see the sign, the "shingle" as it is called, but pass on 

 by; occasionally one drops in, and so it lakes years to 

 build up, to acquire fame, to attain success. .\nil then, even 

 in a large city, the circle is limited, you can't treat a 

 patient in Canada, nor in South .\nierica, nor can you 

 argue a law case in Mexico, but you can advertise, do 

 an international busine-^s. sell eggs or live poultry any- 



where, in Canada, South America, Mexico, etc. You 

 have the whole world to draw from. Then, tou, one can 

 build up, start small and grow big, in remarkably less 

 time than a professional man. 



How many of us have tlie money lu esl.'iblish a man- 

 ufacturing plant? It requires large capital. When es- 

 tablished it requires nicirc money along with brains to 

 meet eunipctition, introduce the new line to the trade, 

 to the jobber, the wholesaler and the retailer. .Ml these 

 take a slice out of the original profit. It requires high 

 salaried, exiiert salesmen along with traveling expenses, 

 to introduce the goods. 



General farming. It is not every one who has the 

 health, the strength, the brawn, the muscular power 

 sufficient to take hold (.>f the plow handle, to harrow, to 

 cultivate and tn harvest the crop. This spells work — I 

 believe farmers are born and not made. Of all the busi- 

 nesses the farmer's lot is a serious one, with a sequence 

 of either too much rain to damage the crops, or no rain 

 at all, with severe drought and the growing produce 

 parches up; or there is the 17 year locust after the

Fanciers throughout the country are showing much pleasure over the Interesting- color pattern of plumage 

 that these Belgian beauties present, and no one can help admiring their sturdy, plump forms. There are plenty 

 of problems in breeding- them to Standard ideals that fascinate the fancier, and their big white eggs say volumes 

 to those who cater to the highest paying markets, of their value during the seasons when their eggs do not trade 

 even for dollars for the purpose of hatching show fowls. It takes but a glance at the above models to see that Dr. 

 Prudhomme has gone in for the best, and the more you study them the more vou are impressed that there is a 

 good future (or the Campines and that their success in America depends onlv on the way in which breeders place 

 them before the public. — F. L. Sewell.
