PLAN No. 800. WHAT SHE DID WITH CHICKENS
Reading edition
This lady in Spokane, Washington, kept an accurate account of the cost of her poultry and reports the following average results per year:
Number of eggs per hen 105
Price received for eggs $0.37
Cost of feed per hen $1.74
Profit per hen from eggs $1.60
Total profit per hen, including eggs, fries and poultry sold $2.13
This is what you can do if out of employment or want to make your back yard and shed produce profit. The above figures are reliable. The example of what other people have done is the best argument in the world that you can do as well. These people do not bear charmed lives, but they are people who do not take a little discouragement as a barrier. The government stands ready to help you with excellent literature on this subject. Write to the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
