Synopsis
Excerpt from Popular Poultry-Keeping for Amateurs: A Practical and Complete Guide to Breeding and Keeping Poultry for Eggs or for the Table
Poultry-keeping has advanced in this country, during the last twenty years, with leaps and bounds. The number of fowls has probably quite doubled, and at the same time more rational methods of management have been adopted. Superior breeds have been introduced, and both the laying powers and the table quali ties of the birds themselves have been improved. But much yet remains to be done. Many people, especially those living in the country, still keep on in the old ruts, breeding and managing without any system. Now, if successful and profitable poultry are wanted, they must have attention and proper management, the same as any other stock. Those. Who think that there is nothing more to be done than to put a few fowls in a shed, and to throw a. Little corn at them two or three times a day, in order to secure an abundant harvest of eggs, are sadly mistaken. Fowls can only be kept profitably by systematic management, and any one who has not time or is not prepared to go to the trouble to keep them properly, should not keep them at all.
