Don’t imagine winning a cup and neglecting your fowls
Advice for fanciers on poultry care and marketing. Don’t overestimate luck, keep birds healthy, clean, and well fed. Tame your flock, avoid cruelty, and maintain neat shipping. Focus on quality, water, and timely sales to attract customers.
Bill of Fare for Young Turkeys
Mrs. Turkey offers feeding guidance for young poults from hatch to three months. Begin with boiled eggs ground with dry bread and grit, six poults after 24 hours, then add onion tops egg curd and grit for meals, progress to rolled wheat, avoid corn until three months, watch for overfeeding signs and correct with liver tonic and quinine as needed.

Preparing Chick Feed and Farm Odds and Ends
Get a good prepared chick feed to start the peeps and branch into cracked corn and wheat. A small grain mill, shelling and drying hare costs five dollars, paying for steels in a season. Two sad deaths in Pennsylvania from a trap incident reflect dangers in rural pursuits. A girl near Philadelphia area cleared 310 last year raising peafowl at 15 per pair, a boy nearby cleared 150 from White Rocks. Buy stock for boys to blend pleasure with profit. Ducks show promise at five dollars and chickens at one, though motives behind such claims may hide bias.
