Raise Some Poultry
In Your Back Yard.
1t Will Surely Pay
Eggs Alone Will More Than Pay
for the Feed and
Trouble.
Edited by JUDGE F. J. MARSHALL.

Edited by JUDGE F. J. MARSHALL.
We need more poultry keepers IN
this country. Not necessarily the
great poultry plants, They are all
right in their places, but it is the
keepers of from 10 to 100 hens that
we have reference to now. The man
in the city with a back lot. the vii
lager who has a larger lot and the
average farmer. These are the ones
who should be maintaining what hens
their premises will hold without
crowding, producing eggs Of the finest
quality supplying first their family's
demands. selling any extras at good
prices. How many places are void
Of chickens in this country, both in
town and country? There are many
farmers who do not keep hens enough
to supply their own tables, but run
TO town and buy salt pork instead.
Some keep no chickens at all, claim
ing that poultry does not pay or
that they have not the time to bother
with ii. We need the interest in
poultry keeping awakened. A good
part Of the year eggs are beyond
reach Of the average person who
wants to supply his family. Poultry
meat is the same way. Why not be
independent and fix your own prem
ises so you can keep a few chickens,
thus supplying your table all the year
around. The average sized city lot
Is capable of keeping 20 to 80 hens
and producing so young ones during
the season. The villager with an acre
at his command may easily keep 100
hens by JuoiciOus management and
raise at least 200 chicks to broiler OF
trying size during the season. His
possibilities will surprise the average
person who is not familiar with what
he can or is able to do with poultry
On the farm the question is how far
to go with the enterprise. There is
room for almost any sized under

taking. We do not, however, advise
going too deep into such an UNDER
taking in the start, but increase 1t as
circumstances and your working ex-
perienCe would warrant. There is no
reason in the world why the average
farmer in the South should not make
half as much from the sale Of eggs
and chickens as he does with his cot
ton and with a good deal less trouble
and expense. True, some system and
management must be introduced
where results are TO be obtained
THAI haphazard take care of-youT-
self way will not work where any
number are kept, while a very few
might live through in that way In
the New England States many small
farmers would not be able to square
their accounts at the end Of the year
II It were not for his crop in poultry
In fact, in many places there It Is
the stock Of trade. Any route one
might take IN going from New York
to Boston through Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut oDB
will fnd tho way lined with poultry
plants all sizes from the city lot raiser
to the great specialist who produces
1000 per year But the surprising
part Of the trip is the number Of
places containing DuL from One-udlL
to one acre upon which is raised an
nually from 500 to 900 chickens, and
$50 to $50 hens kept all the time. I
wish to insert right here that the
greater part Of these one-acre egg
producers use either high-grade
crosses or pure-bred stock Of some
variety. Those who use the pure
stock have a trade on incubator eggs
for two or three months in the year
at from IS to 81 per hundred. There
is a growing demand for eggs for this
purpose all over this country and
should be fostered along with the
other branches Of the industry. We
hope to see these small poultry farm
ers in the South constantly on the
increase. It will be a paying propo-
sition for them and 1t will benefit the
community in which they live.
What has and is being done in New
England can be done here in the
South. not as easily, but much
easier, for the simple reason that the
climatic conditions are so much bet
ter all the year through
It can not only be done more easily
but much cheaper. from the fact that
less housing is required, and feed can
be raised cheaper with an easy supply
Of green food all the year. The fact
of the matter IS, we of the South
have been frittering our time away
when we have failed to take advan-
tage Of our advantages.
