[Poultry Letterj
Mr. Editor:—
I have written about a good
many phases of poultry culture
ttiat is of interest to those engaged
in the business, both from the util
ity and fancy standpoints. Of the
fancy there are, perhaps, a few
who would devote their time and
money to the line, if there was no
such thing as profit to be derived ;
from it. But there would not be i
enough of that class to hold to our 1
standard and fancy breeds. Now
the truth is, if it were not for the
profit to be obtained, the poultry
interest never could have reached
the magnitude that it has attained
at the present time It has been
stated that there arc greater profits
made from poultry, considering the
amount of money invested aud
labor expended, than from any
other branch of business. This is
110 doubt true, and it is a fact that
the returns are realized in a shorter
time than from any other of
live stock that the farmer keeps.
Poultry Is handled largely by peo
ple not engaged in farming, and
for this class of men it is usually a
good investment. It would seem
that the farmer could raise poultry
at a greater profit, because of the
free range and the opportunity of
•economizing! the waste'that would
otherwise occur. Very often it is
true that the farmer pays less at
tention to his poultry than any
thing elye on the farm, yet it seems
to be profitable to him at that; how
cnuch more profitable it might be
if proper care was given. Ido not
mean to say that success is always
easy in the poultry business, for
there are often trials and tribula
tions as in other lines of business.
But with the present development
and progress in the poultry busi
iness, I consider that most of the
troubles need not be experienced
by the careful poultry man or
woman. There aie many diseases
that occur among poultry, about as
til amy as trouble people, but they
can be as effectually treated with
ordinary care.
I have during the many years of
experience, l>ecome acquainted with
many of the serious ailments that
the fowl flesh is heir to. During
the early years of my experience,
I will confess that there were times
when discouragement was near at
hand; but now when I look back it
does not seem as serious as I
thought then In fact, I can see
that if I had exercised proper care,
the most of the serious trouble
would not have been experienced.
I will say to the beginner, go slow,
go sure —that is the key to success
in the poultry business.
