children usually like to help about chickens, and
the mother can nearly always count on her boys
and girls taking an interest In the poultry farm.

an interesting and significant fact The cash value
of the cotton products OF the United States for
certain year was given at sil0,Ococ"o the dairy
products s254OoOO while the poultry products
showed the robust sum of soGooo,co. Surely this
tells the value OF the poultry farm.

s4s 900 worth OF poultry and eggs every year. and
the United States consumes about 100000. Eng.
