REVIEW 55 



The system of housing will also be governed by the amount 

 and character of land available on the present location. The several 

 paragraphs regarding the three systems of housing already given 

 in this chapter should be reread by the student with this type of 

 poultryman in mind. 



A general knowledge of the whole subject of poultry is neces- 

 sary before one can make a wise selection. One who already has 

 a farm can usually find at least one or more branches of the busi- 

 ness which will work out under his conditions. Those factors 

 which are not desirable can be eliminated or corrected, as drain- 

 age and windbreaks. In most cases the problem is one of situation 

 rather than one of location.
