For trio of fowls in this class with statement of produce 

 for one year, with cost of feeding, showing profit. No com- 

 petitors. 



Your Committee having had considerable experience in 

 breeding poultry, for flesh and eggs, believe there is nothing 

 produced on the farm that pays a greater percentage upon the 

 capital invested, than fowls, if proper attention is paid to 

 breeding, feeding and housing. Yet Essex County farmers, 

 with a ready market at their doors for all they can produce in 

 this line, appear to be rather averse to such enterprises. 



Geo. W. Chadwick, /or the Committee.
