the success that Mrs. Walcott has en-
joyed since she has operated her en-
terprise on her farm near Angola, the
thrifty woman has shipped twenty-one
birds and collies to foreign countries,

dogs, and has purchased two fine
farms and other property. From time

thirteen eggs each day during the
month of January. He received 40
cents a dozen for most of the eggs.
