Book Description
Excerpt from Poultry West of the Rockies Will the poultry business pay in the West? And Why are there not more large poultry plants? And similar questions, meet us very often from people coming from the East, and indeed many who have lived west of the divide for years can not yet understand why we should send hundreds of thou sands of dollars each year across the mountains to enrich our prosperous Kansas cousins. There are many reasons why these things are so, and one is the very prevalent idea that the chicken business is a very small thing, and hardly worth the time of a man of any abil ity, but just fit for the puttering of the women and children, to get a little pocket money out of. But what of the business of one man in Central California, who, during one year, has sold eggs, none lower than per 100, and many single settings at for fifteen? Is that a business worthy of a man? The same can be done in almost any neighborhood, but remember the old advice of Poor Richard, He that by the plow would thrive, himself must either hold or drive.
