was a statement made oy J-.
Schroedor living just this side of
Island City, and who bus u poultry
farm this summer of considerable
proportions.
"One mistake made by those who
I go into the poultry business," said
Mr. Hchoeder, "is, that they want
to go Into It on too largo a scale.
They read (tf some such enterprise
that la now firmly established and
on a pa y I ng ba sis and the thing
appeals to them. Then they urn
lempted to go in too heavily. They
way to go into the poultry business
is to sturt with a very few chick
ens, . then If successful, keep in
creasing the number of fowls und
enlarging the size of the plant, un
til your business reaches the pro
portions where it Is worth-while."

months. As slated above, Mr.
Hchoeder believes It profitable to
feed the milk to the chickens, even
going to the extent of saying that
he believes that the milk will go
5n per cent further If fed to chiclys
thun to hogs.
