Show PouLTPYNoms In mating for market poultry select the best breasted birds. Summer or winter, the birds should have plenty of roosting space. Success with poultry depends more on god care than on the breed. Trust an old hen to know exactly where she ought not to scratch. Compare your poultry with that shown at the agricultural fair and see if yours can be improved. Don't keep a lot of young or old male birds in the flock to worry the rest of the birds and to eat expensive grain. Fowls should be killed just before they begin to moult, for when they begin be-gin to shed their feathers they befcln to lose flesh. It is poor economy to feed the poultry poul-try on one kind of grain. It Is more profitable in every way to give variety, vari-ety, of whirh corn, wheat and oajj should he the leading feeds. |
