W. S. Mansfield
Today Mr. Mansfield is going to talk about poultry with his own poultry manager. On the University Farm at Cambridge there is a poultry farm consisting of some thousand head of laying hens. Many of the birds are moved about the fields, and the poultry department fits in with the general scheme of farming. However, as Mr. Mansfield said in his talk last week, the turnover from eggs is high but the profit is not what it might be, owing to the fact that even he is not independent of imported feeding stuffs. This problem of the rising cost of feeding stuffs has become so serious of recent years that any remarks Mr. Mansfield and his poultry manager make will be of general interest to poultry keepers.
