CHAPTER XXYVI 
GENERAL REMARKS 
An additional source of revenue is the 
manure which if taken of and stored as 
already described will sell for considerable 
money in the spring when farmers sow their 
corn, etc. Little as well as large things help 
to success. The manure item is one of the 
small things that will help your books to 
look well at the end of the year. 
Another source of profit, provided the land 
is your own, is the extra growth that fruit 
trees will make on ground run over and fer- 
tilized by the droppings. If you purchase a 
place that is not already blessed with fruit, 
plant the very first year trees in the hen yard 
so as to gain every year possible in growth 
and age at which they will bear fruit. Ihave 
15 two year old fine, large, thrifty peach trees 
which average 8 inches circumference, 6 
inches from the ground, and 25 set out this 
spring. Two of these latter measure 5 inches 
in circumference, 6 inches from the ground.
