Breeding and rearing poultry, the pro
duetion of eggs and dressed fowls for the
market, has been a neglected industry
throughout this country. Deemed lnsig
nificant in its character, many a farmer
has devoted his attention to occupations
far less remunerative. No well ordered
farm should be considered complete with
out It's complement of poultry, while the
selection of breeds should not be hap
