LESSONS ON POULTRY FOR RURAL SCHOOLS. 



Plan that each pupil who starts with scrub poultry shall try to work

 or "Feeding my flock of laying hens." The labor, feed, egg, and 

 other records should be compiled and balanced each month as arith- 

 metic practice. Toward the end of the school year have the pupils
