There are ways of raising poultry on a small 

 place with economy in both time and expense. 

 Squabs yield a good profit and require very little 

 room. Belgian hares can be bred in large numbers 

 on a city lot. Pheasants bring good prices and are 

 really not difficult to raise. Moreover, the pens in 

 which they can be raised take up very little room. 

 Even a few pigs may be raised with profit on the 

 small farm.

It is impossible to say exactly what profits may 

 be expected from any particular crop or from any 

 particular kind of live stock, but it will be inter- 

 esting to know just what profit has been made by 

 other persons on small farms. The following 

 figures have been carefully compiled from the 

 recorded experiences of persons in various states 

 of the Union and will be suggestive to anyone in- 

 terested in this sort of farming, regardless of 

 where he lives. 



The income received from an acre of these 

 varied crops is figured, of course, on their market 

 value in the locality where the crops thrive and 

 yield well. The same crop planted in an unsuit- 

 able climate or on unfavorable soil would not pro- 

 duce the amount indicated here. 



The figures for various kinds of fruit follow —
