He should commence in a small way, keeping only a few flocks at first, and gradually increase the number when he has satisfied himself of the financial success of the venture. It is most essential that from the very commencement a strict account should be kept of all expenses and receipts. There must be no guess work--nothin must be taken for granted. It will then be an easy matter to make a balance sheet at the end of the year, and ascertain whether a profit has been made. I am acquainted with an extensive agriculturist, who by a very simple system of management draws over 120 per annum from his poultry. This gentleman has very kindly placed at my disposal full particulars of his methods of management. He tells me he lays himself out entirely for egg production, only rearing enough chickens to replace old birds, and keep up his flocks to the required numbers. He possesses ten separate homesteads, and at each homestead 100 laying hens are kept, with six or eight male birds, making a total of about 1070 in all. They have the entire run of the homestead at each place, and also the adjoining fields and meadows. In reply to my question whether the fowls committed any damage to the growing crops in the adjacent fields, he said, that of course they did do a certain amount of damage, but it was of such a trifling nature as to be of little consequence. Every flock of fowls is allowed two bushels of sound head corn, or its equivalent in tailing corn, per week, or 13. quarters per annum, valued at 14 6s. od.

Excerpt from Profits in Poultry: Useful and Ornamental Breeds and Their Profitable Management; Profusely Illustrated As denoted by the title of the book, the editors have given most prominence to the side of poultry keeping which returns an income. The ways and means by which eggs or poultry can be grown at a profit are discussed in great detail. So many questions are constantly asked about the various breeds and also concerning diseases and their treatment, that these topics have been quite fully considered. The turkey department has been made as complete as possible on account of the increasing interest in that branch of poultry keeping. Incubators, care of chicks, feeding and care for eggs, or for meat, building coops and houses, caponizing, marketing, warfare against pests, raising waterfowl and ornamental poultry, are described at length. The reference matter and tables are a special feature of the, book. The present volume is nearly one-third larger than any previous edition. Experience of breeders and poultry farmers has been drawn upon freely, resulting in that breadth of view which can be obtained only by comparison of successful methods in actual practice. Among those who have directly assisted in furnishing the new matter are James Rankin, P. H. Jacobs, T. M. Ferris, M. C. Weld, Burr Knapp and W. H. Rudd. The entire material has been carefully prepared by Mr. George B. Fiske, poultry editor American Agriculturist. About 100 pages and many illustrations have been added to the new and enlarged edition, but without any increase in the price of this useful book.
