POULTRY ON AVERAGE FARM
Makes No Great Demands on Strength
and Any Person Of Intelligence
May Make Success.

In thist country poultry includes
chickens, turkeys, geese. ducks. guis
nea fowls. pigeons and occasionally
pea fowls. pheasants. quail and
swans--chlckens OF course, being the
most Important, Something like =
quarter of a billion chickens and other
poultry are consumed In the United
States every year. The consumption
of eggs Is about eighteen dozen per
capita. The last census gave the
value of chickens raised on American
farms in 1899 as $1S6.S91. 877-of eggs
as $14A286. 1853. Today the American
people consume about half a billion
dollars. worth of poultry and eggs
per annum Exports are increasing
and one may enter on the raising of
poultry and eggs with little fear Of
not realizing good prices on all Pro
duce.
Probably 80 per cent. of the farms
in the United States raise poultry as
side line; feeding is more econom,
ical where general farming is pur-
sued Still there are manifest ad-
vantages in specializing greater at
tention, knowledge and skill achieve
better results.
Poultry raising makessne great de
mands on strength, and any person
of intelligence may hope to make
success of 1t. But some have made
the mistake of supposing that the
business can be taken up on a con-
siderable scale without any expert
ence. Hens lay all the way from
none to ESQ eggs year, and It takes
some experience to tell with what
kind of hens and under what condi-
tions. the upper limit can be reached.
Probably the best course for the
intending poultry raiser would be to
work for year or more on one of
the large chicken ranches in order to
learn the important points of breeds,
feeding. fattening. housing, brooding,
incubating. etc. The raising of broil-
ers, Toasters and capons for the market
may be a paying occupation on an
egg farm, If one secures the. right kind
of stock and gives the work. the
proper attention and management. No
kind of poultry is more profitable
than turkeys.
