Upon this subject the Wts.ern Rural
makes the following just and sensible
remarks, giving some cogent reasons
why poultry should be kept on the farm.
and as to the profits arising therefrom:
For several years poultry have been
profitable, eggs and chickens command
ing high price. By little variation
In their breeding and management,
poultry may be made very valuable to
the farmer in many ways, one of the
most important being the excellent
manure which they make. A comfort.
able frostproof poultry house should
be constructed, in suck position that
the hens will have access to the orchard.
Tor they are exceedingly useful for de-
streying the curculio, the apple-worm.
and other hurtful insects. Plum trees
In a poultry yard generally yield an
abundant crop of fruit, perfectly free
from attacks of the curculio. The best
breed of fowls are always the most
profitable; but even these should not
be kept more than two or three years.
Old hens should be got rid of and Wig
orous pullets put into their places.
The floor of the poultry house should
be covered with wood ashes. dry muck.
or old saw-dust, for the purpose of alb
sorbng the offensive smell. The house
should be cleaned out frequently, and
the manure kept in . shed, or in large
casks or boxes, until required for use
in the spring; Its effect on the field or
garden Is remarkable"
