THE POULTRY YARD.
THE PROFITS OF PoULTRY-KEEPING.

-"
Even at this late day it is hard to make
many farmers believe that there is any profit
in keeping poultry. Nearly every farmer
keeps a few hens Of some breed unknown to
the standard. They lay eggs enough
In the spring, but none in the winter when
eggs are high. The hens are not half fed,
and roost anywhere in the barns and out
houses.
We use enormous quantities Of eggs and
dressed poultry and the demand is steadily
increasing. The Secretary of the New
Hampshire State Board Of Agriculture esti-
mates from returns from nearly every
town. the production of poultry and eggs
for 1874 at 49, 600, 1000.
There is no stock on the farm that pays
so large a per cent. on the capiaal invested
as poultry. 1t will pay at least 100 percent.

ness, and in some cases much higher. /

side. It is worth at least one dollar per
bushel (f kept clear for all kinds of vines.
The locality has much to do with the variety
required. When there is range enough and
neighbors are not too near, turkeys pay bet
ter than chickens.
There is no one breed Of hens best for all
purposes, and all localities. If eggs, and
not poultry, is wanted, then keep some Of
the nonsetters. Ny own preference is for
the H%amburgs, although for poultry and
eggs combined L should keep the Houdan
breeds.
But usually the best and most profitable
breed for a man to keep is the breed he likes
best, for he will take better care of them,
and make them pay the best. Every farm
er should keep fowls enough for his own
use. We should use more eggs and chick
ems than we do now "A pound of chicken
can be grown in New Hampshire as cheap
as a pound of pork. Some farmers spend all
their strength in raising big hogs, but cam
not afford to eat chickens.-Co1respomden

WHICH ARE THE BEST IAYERs1At a
recent meeting of an agricultural a~ssocia-
ton in New Hampshire, the advantage of
the poultry and egg department. Of the farm
was presented in a very strong light by the
Secretary. The revenue from this branch
of the farm was said to exceed that Of the
potato product of the State. A bushel of
corn was said to produce nine bushels Of
live poultry. The amount of the product of
u bushel of corn fed to the hens for eggs was
nine dozen. The manure from the perch
was equivalent to guano, pound for pound,
and would well pay for attendance of hens.
The Secretary said this industry would fur
nish profitable employment for men too in
firm for field labor, and for women's active
hands and busy mind. For the egg de-
partment the non-setters were recommend
cd-Leghorns, Houdans and Black Spanish.
Good layers were found i'll other breeds, but
their product was small. The different va
riety Of hens, by experiment., were found to
lay the following number Of eggs yearly:
Dunghills, 40; Black Spanish, 40 to 100;
Brahmas, no; Leghorns, 200; Hamburgs,
$40; Houdans, $50. Tt was recommended
to feed moist food in the morning and dry
food at night. The liability to disease
should be prevented, as it might in a degree
by care and attention.
