THE POULTRY FIELD

Poultry are raised with three Dos
slble ends in view. The first and one
OF the least importance to this county
is the fancier or showman's phase Of
the work. In certain respects this
side of the poultry game is beneficial.
IN others it does much harm. Too
much stress is laid upon appearances
and too little upon the egg and meat
producing power of an individual or
of flock.
The second phase of the poultry
raising industry and the one most
common to Salem County is the gem
eral purpose or egg producing line of
work. This is true of most farm
nocks thruout the country. The
farmer devotes only small amount
of his time to poultry raising and that
part of the work which furnish him
with the greatest return for the small
est amount of work He matches late
IN he spring, gives the chicks the run
of the farm and often times a portion
of someone elses and by feeding
little corn, wheat or oats, he is able
to sell his broilers or roasters in the
fall at good margin of profit. Phil
adelphia furnishes good market for
theSe brollers and roasters and as
there is not much difference at this
age, between Barred or White Rocks,
Wyanottes or Brahmas, this is the
reason why there are so many mon
grel fiocks in the county.
The third and most important phase
of all poultry raising is egg produc-
tion. All breeds of poultry lay eggs
to certain extent and even the meat
breeds lay during the spring and sum-
mer months. That is one reason why
eggs would not be worth the labor
involved in their production. The
hatcheries are to the egg market like
forest is to the water fall, they hold
the pressure back, during the spring
when the market is flooded.
