POULTRY NOTES.

They ;iavo well grasped the ' fact that united action of the cirI cle» i* the most feasible method of J f.uiccess. Air ilnmby, one of the largest poultry producers, hnu recently joiiii-d that body. This is very gratifying, a« hitherto, it has been difficult to persuade those in a. big way to see the economic; advantages thereof : but now that an example has been, set, others will not be long in following.
