Money In Swans.

Swans are now hard to raise. They sell at S4O to $75 per pair. A Yankee farmer at Blddeford, Me., is making quite a success at swan breeding, ana his profits must be quite large each season. The average hatch yields from three to six young swans. They hatch usually about J une and mature in fourteen months from birth. They are very cross when with a brood, and need watching constantly unless penned up closely.
