POULTRY KEEPING 



Poultry keeping as a side line is a most profitable 

 source of income, and even a small flock near town 

 markets, as market gardeners' lands are usually situ- 

 ated, will pay relatively great returns for time and 

 labor expended. 



In the dead' of winter when the preceding season's 

 crops have been handled and disposed of, the poultry 

 crop, eggs, is at the highest premium. A flock of good, 

 well-cared-for hens w^ill do in the winter the very thing 

 that a good cultivator will do in the summer, namely, 

 "Profitable Scratching." 



In our extensive poultry department, we offer a com- 

 plete line of wholesome and nutritious feeds for young 

 and mature stock, and carry the most standard and ap- 

 proved up-to-date poultry house equipment and fixtures. 

 We will supply day old chicks and ducklings, and are in 

 especially good position to fill early orders of all lead- 

 ing breeds from strains of recognized merit for egg 

 production, meat production or fanciers' type.
