W. Reese (Vocational Agricultural Teacher Sycamore, S. C.) ' 9 Raising More . Poultry For '1 he Home And The Market Relatively small s|'ze and adaptability to a variety of conditions has given poultry an important place not only on the farm, but in the back yards' of city and town residents. . I In nearly every household there are tabk scraps and .jnateriaP from the kitchen which have feeding cable, but which, if not utilized, find their way rnto the garbage pail. Poultry Is the oniy class of domestic animals that is suitable for converting this waste material, right where, it is produced, into wholesome and nutritious food. * . By raising more poultry, the family not only reduces the, cost dC livi ng but is supplied with eggs and poultry moat of a quality and freshness often cliihcult to obtain. The profits in farm-poultry rais ing are largely aifveted by . the number ol ?.ggs produced during the fall and early months of winter and by the number of broilers an,< toasters that can be marketed when juices are highest. The larger pyfiits can be best obtain ed by-hatching early and by having early maturing strains. Most of "th'e rcvenue-frem-Tarm. (locks is obtained from eggs. The laying stock should therefore be of the highest possible bred-tolay quality. It should also be purebred and free from the majoi s la r.da rd disfuali fications. The cost of footing is the most important item of expense in producing eggs and market poultry. For that reason it is very important for farm poultrymen to feed efficiently.To keep up the flock from year to year great care should be taken in selecting and managing the breeding stock. The best of attentiwi must also be given to the ncubation of the eggs and the rearing of the chicks. Factors of management, such as housing and sanitation, are important in getting best results and should receive very careful consideration.
