POULtRY. 



Throughout this month poultry is on fall sale. I 

 made the following memoranda at Mr. Boys's, if* 

 Kent- 



Mrs. Boys, who is as intelligent in her walk of 



management as her husband is in his, conducts her 



poultry with greater success than any person I have 



met with. ' While I was at Betshanger, a higler's- 



cart carried off above 1 2 dozen of fowls for one 



draught: inquiring what could be the process that 



commanded such plenty, I found it so simple as to 



fee explained rn a moment the labourers' wives and 



families who live on Mr. Boys r s farm, do the whole ; 



he supplies them with what offal corn is necessary, 



and they return Mrs. Boys the grown fowls, ready 



for market, at 3d. each, 6d. for turkies and geese, 



and 3d. for ducks ; and her accompt, well kept, 



states a profit of 2Ol. a year, after alt expences are 



paid, and the family well supplied : have also alt 



the eggs without any payment. It answers as well 



to the people as it does to the farmer. A fat tur- 



key, 1 lib. alive is 14lb. dead. The climate and 



soil here both agree with poultry : for here is a far- 



mer of the name of Kelly, who rears and sells 14O 



turkies per annum*
