Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Poultry Poultry Keeping Suited to ail - Poultry keeping is one of the most valuable industries carried on in connection with every well-con ducted farm or rural home. The money-making possibilities of poultry farms may be in doubt, but hens can be made pay on even the poorest farm in the Province. Probably no class of live stock is so widely scattered and universally reared. From the warmest regions of the tropics to the cold, bleak regions of the Yukon, man demands eggs as one Of the staple articles necessary to sustain life. Fresh eggs are pre ferred, therefore the hen has been introduced, and poultry has become adapted and acclimatized to all regions inhabited by civilized man. The flesh of fowls is delicious and nutritious; and eggs, one of the most per fect of human foods, are being used more and more. In former times poultry keeping was, and in many places is yet, a side issue, a mere incident to general farming, its responsibilities and cares falling on the overworked housewife or some of the very small chil dren. The fowls gathered their own subsistence, stole their nests, brought forth a few chickens, which lived or died according to conditions. The poultry was compelled to roost in the trees, on the fences, or perchance in the barn. About the only care given was to occasionally throw them a little food.

Comparatively few farmers attempt to make poultry keeping the principal activity on the farm, but content themselves With keeping a small flock. Such a flock works into the economy of the farm to the best advantage, being maintained at a small cost and making use of many materials which would otherwise go to waste, and provides a valuable adjunct to the home meat supply. It also provides a source of income which, While composed of small amounts individually, is Spread over practically the entire year, and is often sufficient 1 to clothe the family and pay the grocery bill.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fowls, Care and Feeding The wide distribution of domestic fowls throughout the United States and the general use made of their products make poultry of interest to a large number of people. Breeders are continually striving to improve the fowls for some particular purpose, and to excel all predecessors in producing just what the market demands for beauty or utility; but the mass of people look at the poultry products solely as supplying the necessary elements of food in an economical and palatable form. For a considerable tims each year eggs are sought instead of meat by people of moderate means, because at the market price eggs are a cheaper food than the various kinds of fresh meat. Large numbers of the rural population live more or less isolated, and find it inconvenient, if not impossible, to supply fresh meat daily for the table aside from that slaughtered on the farm; and of all live stock poultry furnishes the most convenient means of supplying an excellent quality of food in suitable quantities. This is particularly true during the hot summer months, when fresh meat will keep only a short time with the conveniences usually at the farmer's command. The general consumption of poultry and poultry products by nearly all classes of people furnishes home markets in almost every city and town in the United States, and at prices which are usually remunerative if good judgment is exercised in the management of the business.
