A SELF-SUPPORTING HOME 



at Jenkintown. Here an appointment should 

 be made two days ahead, to insure the keeper 

 being in attendance. 



Even if you do not care to undertake 

 another business, at least keep one colony 

 for honey for home consumption. 



THE POULTRY YARD 



The breeding flocks must now be made 

 up. If possible, confine every fifteen hens 

 in separate enclosures, and for each two such 

 enclosures buy three cockerels. Put one in 

 each, and provide a small separate coop and 

 yard for the third one, alternating the three 

 birds each week. 



If thirty or forty hens must be kept together, 

 buy six cockerels. Put three with the hens, 

 and keep the other three all together in a 

 small yard, alternating each trio every week. 



If all the hens are running free, still alter- 

 nate the males, for by doing so no favoritism 

 can be shown.
