In Europe the women are not only

trades and occupations. but are act

MAKE THE HENS PAY THE BILLS

A goodIy flock of good hens is an
absolute necessity in any Fat1onal
farming system for the South. Rightly
managed, chickens not only furnish
wholesome meat and eggs for nome
consumption, but surplus for paying
the grocery bills as well.
We do not advise, for the average
farmer. poultry raising on large
scale: but we do hold that from % TO
100 producing hens should be found on
every farm of average size in the
ESouth. In fact, on most farms there
are enough waste materials to keep
this number OF hens without any more
than a very nominal expense for addl-
Itional feeds.
But. as is the case with cattle and
hogs, there are certain fundamentals
that we must look to if we are to get
the maximum pro fitsNfr0m puripoulfry.
Among the most important points are
the following:
/. Wen bred fowls. Production,
either of meat or eggs, is the aim IN
poultry raising, and any fowl that
fails to measure up has no business III
: the flock. AS with other kinds of live
stock. there is no one best breeds o.
chickens, though there are undoubted-
ly breeds and strains best suited 10
particular conditions. We must re-
: iIne1nbe4 TOO that The very hest pI0
fdcGt,ts Unless ri5id selection is plaG
ticed will soon degenerate into
! scrubs.
2. Proper feeding is essential JUS
z as we must feed the dairy COW for the
l special purpose of producing milk ahC
z butter. or the beef animals for the lay
I ing on of flesh. or the horse that ~
may do the work required OF MN. s.
must we study the needs of our poul

3. House the poultry. Fresh a
