POULTRY RAISING

Benjamin F. Siever, 11 

Perhaps I can say a few things on poultry raising that will be of interest to its readers.

On our home farm we have chickens, turkeys, and ducks.
We have two hundred chickens, which lay about fifty or sixty eggs a day.

We do not raise very many young chickens, only enough to furnish us with young hens to keep for the following year.

We usually raise a flock of about twenty turkeys. These being very difficult to raise, we do not have very much success with them.
