 COMBINATION OF FRUIT AND POULTRY 



husbandry farms with poultry production as the leading 

 feature. Under those conditions poultry-keeping has been 

 a profitable business for more than half a century. The 

 extensive system prevails; that is, there is wide range for 

 the fowls. The colony system of housing is used. The 

 hatching and rearing of the fowls is done by natural means 

 almost universally, and in feeding, the general practice is 

 to feed a moist mash in the morning. Farm crops are 

 grown to a limited extent.
