About 100 hens are as many as farmer can
keep proitably, unless he gives special attes ton
to the business and then it is very unsafe bus
mess, owing to the liability of the fowls to be-
come diseased. In no case has any person, eth.
er in the United States, or in England or France,
ever kept 1000 fowls successfully in ore yard,
or forage range; but it has been done by keep
ing them in lots of 100 to $50 in separate places,
extending over number Of acres of land, each
lot having separate roostins house 20:to 30 roas
apart. No man should attempt the keeping of
over 100 or 200 fowls, until he is thoroughly in
formed in regard to all the difficulties p the bus
mess, as be would be sure to lose the most of the
money invested in it.
