That the legislation of 1903 is such as will stand the test theggecan be no ques- tion. .

Mr. Hare says that even on small con signments freight rates from St. John and Halifax would not be more than 1c a pound. There is an old saying about the game a man sees when he hasn't a gun. Chickens might be selling at $2 a piece in London, and few of our farmers would be able to make money if the slightest quality were required. The reason for the scar city of good poultry on the farms of this country is found in the fact that the average farmer doesn't know that! it is possible for him to raise such an article. To his way of thinking fowl may be divided into two classes--the scrub variety in breed like the Houdan. The latter, he hears, sometimes sells for a much as $50 or $100, but he decides that it is a breed for the fancier exclu- sively and so 'falls'back on his own mongrels.
