PROFIT FROM POULTRY.
4 Remunerative Business When Confined

Within Certain Limits.
Comparatively few farmers, who raise
more or less poultry, ever keep an ac-
count of expenditures and receipts
and so the real condition of the balance
sheet is practically unknow. Some
will imagine that the keeping of poul-
try results in profit. while others claim
that sit costs more than it comes to-.
neighboring farmer commenced, on
the first of January. 1887, with sixty
hens and roosters, and during the en-
tire years kept careful account OF all
expenses and receipts, and was well
satisfied with the result Not having
all the figures at hand we can only
give the general result On the first OF
January, 1885, he had seventy fowls,
ten more than he started with; had
sold nearly $50 worth of chickens,
enough to pay for all the food pro-
vided, and had sold between $40 and
$50 worth of eggs. In this trial the
feed was of the greatest variety and

at night was corn and buckwheat. In
this case the cost of keeping the fowls
fell somewhat below what is generally
considered an average. We have no

Of keeping fowls, and the average did
not fall great way below one dollar
per head, but in this case the cost varied
but little from eighty cents per head.
