best breeds of poultry pigs etc may be e seen and as a great I 1 r number of people from the country are likely to be iu in this thia city for the next few days to attend conference we suggest the propriety of their visiting these places that they may satisfy themselves by personal inspection of the superiority of choice imported over home breeds of the various domestic animals upon the successful propagation and raising of which the welfare of the farmer and people in the rural and agricultural districts so largely depends silk and fish can also be raised in large quantities with little labor and expense in many portions of the territory the soil boli and circumstances of the people being just adapted to the former and the many streams and lake lets in the territory offering the finest i tuni ties for the latter these later lat er pursuits have not been started practically in this city but it is likely that they soon will be for the necessary preliminaries are being made and books containing the actual modus operandi which have been successfully pursued in other places can be obtained at awyers book store on ou east temple tempie st at a very low figure and by the
