A WORD FROM UNCLE SAM 



In every household, no matter how economical 

 the housewife, there is a certain amount of table 

 scraps and kitchen waste which has feeding value 

 but which, if not fed, finds its way into the garbage 

 pail. 



Poultry is the only class of domestic animals 

 which is suitable for converting this waste mate- 

 rial, right where it is produced in the city, into 

 wholesome and nutritious food in the form of eggs 

 and poultry meat. 



Each hen in her pullet year should produce ten 

 dozen eggs. The average size of the back-yard 

 flock should be at least ten hens. Thus each flock 

 would produce in a year loo dozen of eggs which, 

 at the conservative value of 25 cents a dozen would 

 be worth S25.00. 



By keeping a back-yard poultry flock the family 

 would not only help in reducing the cost of living
