In dairying, there are special breeds

enough, so there Is no excuse for a
man who goes it blind and blames
luck and the weather for his failure.

with every fact which can be brought
to bear upon the quality of hts pro

The man with a olio will be in a

.Cultivation as the . plants develop re

the eggs are wanted for hatching.
As soon as the cockerels get old
enough to pay attention to the pul
