Excerpt from Notes on Utility Poultry Farming These notes, of necessity somewhat fragmentary, have been written to encourage people in the National importance of Utility Poultry Keeping, and to indicate the way how poultry may be kept as a business, and at the same time made an interesting hobby. My wife started her farm first of all to help her country, by producing food for the community; secondly, to show the farmers and our neighbours what could be done with poultry if worked on scientific and business lines; and thirdly, not being able to leave home to undertake war work at a distance, she thought as we lived in the country, and having been devoted to poultry all her life, it was the right thing to do. Further, she has the advantage in having an experienced poultry-man. The farm is one of 10 acres, and I have no hesitation in saying that the results, so far, have amply justified the expenditure of capital made, and that Commercial Poultry Farming, when carefully conducted as a business, is not only of daily increasing interest, but a sound commercial investment, the return more than compensating for the time and labour expended upon it. The Poultry Farmer will, naturally, as in other business undertakings, have difficulties to face from time to time. Let his or her motto be "Nil desperandum," and further, remember, that by supplying a much-needed and useful article of food, this is certainly helping to counteract the foreign importation of eggs, and keeping money in circulation at borne.
