Book excerpt: Excerpt from Egg Money, How to Increase It: A Book of Complete and Reliable Information on the More Profitable Production of Eggs on the City Lot, the Village Acre and the Farm The production of eggs to be consumed as food has been, is, and probably always will be the mainstay of the poultry industry. The fancy poultry business, or the breeding of fowls primarily for exhibition, interests but a small per cent of the total number of poultry keepers; the production of poultry meat, as a separate branch of the industry, is comparatively small - the greater part of the immense supply that finds its way to market annually is furnished by those who make the rearing of it secondary, or incidental to the production of eggs. For no product of agricultural or animal industry is there a more stable demand, year in, year out, than for this product of the domestic hen. Within the past few years the number marketed and consumed has increased tremendously; yet the prices have increased also, proving that the demand is more than keeping pace with the supply, and indicating very positively that the business will not be overdone or become unprofitable, certainly not during the lifetime of the present generation. As will be noted in following chapters, the equipment required is neither extensive nor costly; no one breed or variety of fowls is pre-eminently superior for the purpose; the main requirements are knowledge of how to conduct the business and willingness to attend faithfully to the work.
