THE Manufacture OF POULTRY AS A BUSINESS
Can this be done, and done probably, inside oil
city linitsl This ID the question Of female friend
ain want of something to do to aid in the support OF
her family" Sic says:
Wouli /. be proper for woman to establish q
benery anyw the face OF the earth ana Wouid
il be profitable 10 the small city where .ivel My
friends III ASSURE me that IL wond be exceedingly
improper and indicate for me or any other ,oo9'an
to enter into anything Of the kind; they say all me
town will laugh at You. Bot If this 10 the only oo-
rciioD l can mensge that
Unfortunately, that is not the only objection. The
grand election is that it don't pay, as general
thing. The, this is 90, proved more TO QUE salts
faction than in any other way by the fact that almost
every one who has stared the business has given 1t
Up after gears of trial. The mos successful poultry
manufacturers that we know Of in the United States
bfc tue lus-tffs DcittJ W fHNtNaNt ~'f -
are not strictly manufacturers, bu. Gnishers They
buy the manufactured article aud finish II Of ready
for market by careful feeding and neat cleaning and
packing. Tbis they do probably TO an immense OK
tent. Bat we do not know Of great poultry manu-
factory anywhere 10 this country, and do not believe
one can be established within the limits Of town
that will be profitable, becauso the birds are not
healthy in Stale Of confinement.
Poultry rs ing, and the production Of silk, belong
20 the families Of farmers, by right aud Devor can
DO taken from them. Neither can be manufactured
on large SCALE both belong TO the country. Poul-
try raising as practsed by the females Of some far
mers' families is delightful rural employment, and
is sometimes profitable. II ia much more often bill
Of exnensc 20 far ne it relates 10 direct profit. But
il Ia very profitable to Keep poultry on farm, on ac-
count Of the aid the birds Ia destroying insects
In some cases, keep poultry Is profitable, mainly
in the value Of the manure.
Our correspondent inquiries If there is hot some
particular breed of fowls that will produce sort Of
golden plumage' profit
That breed sickened in the hight Of "the hen
fsyer." and is now nearly extinct. The hens that
clay two eggs day" always cost rs much os the
eggs come b., and little more. II our fair friend
still desires to establish city poultry market, we
advise her to confno her efforts entirely 10 ducks,
and never let them see water enough to swim in.
Set the water for them 10 drink where the young
only gst their heads in. Water is for country ducks:
city ducks can DO without il.
In conclusion, we doGb. the chance Of our fair
friend to make henery profitable though eminenily
proper.
