their own adaptabilities are enabled to select at 

 the outset the line of work that is likely to prove 

 the most satisfactory. 



To carry out this idea somewhat further by 

 means of an illustration, it will readily be seen 

 that if a poultryman had a somewhat limited space 

 for fowls, including both buildings and yards, so 

 that it would be quite impossible to keep to advan- 

 tage more than a few hundred at most, he should 

 either devote his energy to the production of fowls 

 of high merit for breeding purposes or confine him- 

 self to egg production. The rearing of young fowls 

 for market demands more space both in- and out- 

 of-doors than a business of the same magnitude in 

 which egg production is the chief object. The 

 various classes of domestic hen, with turkeys, 

 ducks, geese, and pigeons, furnish a great variety of 

 products that find ready sale in the markets. From 

 these the farmer or poultryman may select those 

 that offer to him the greatest special inducements. 



PRODUCTS EASY TO MARKET 



With modern facilities for rapid transportation, 

 the various poultry products may be sent to market 

 hundreds of miles distant and be placed before 

 the consumer in excellent condition. Eggs only 

 a few days old may be served as food after being 

 shipped hundreds of miles by express.
