KEEPING POULTRY IN BACK YARD
One Way of Increasing country's Sup
ply OF Meat and Eggs.

Increase the countrys supply OF
meat and eggs and reduce the high
cost Of living! Poultry can be kept
in small nocks in back Yards at least
onelhlrd cheaper than II can in large
commercial nocks says A. L. Smith,
Poultry Extension Specialist of the
United States Department Of Agri
culture. who Is now working in CO.
operation with the Extension Service
Of the University Of Vermont and
State Agricultural College. With
eggs now selling az fifty cents per
dozen and going higher, it is apparent
that there is n good margin of profit
in hack yard poultry. Your home
garden plot viii soon be beyond the
producing point why not utilize and
enrich this land by keeping a few
hens.
The size Of the flock which can
most efficiently be kept depends upon
the space available and the amount of
table scraps or other waste material
which can he fed. For a Hook Of
twenty to twenty-five hens a space
twenty-five by thirty feet would be
necessary, or about twenty to thirty
square feet per bird. If YOU have not
raised any young chicks. the only
