. The Eastern poultryman . that the present prospects are better than ever before. Daniel Stewart spoke of his combined dairy and poultry buisness, and said the poultry gave best returns for less labor, and less capital invested than in the dairy. Mr. West spoke of his experience with poultry and small fruit and adaptability of this combination. Mr. Otis, the proprietor of Elm Hill Dairy Farm, agreed with Mr. Stewart as to relative profits of cows and poultry.
