FARMERS WIFE MAKES MONEY.
Mrs. John Jensen Sells s1,o53.as Worth
of Butter, Cream, Eggs and Poultry.


Ida Grove, Jan. 27.-Mrs. John Jen-
the year 1912 s1.053ss worth of but
ter, cream, eggs and chickens. She
kept an accurate account Of all she
marketed, thus demonstrating that she
is also good business woman.
The value of the butter. made from
eight cows. was s599,G6. To this must
be added s14 worth of cream, which
brings the dairy total up to S6l3.6G. or
an average of s5l.13 per month. To
put il in another way. the value of the
butter and cream sold during the year
eaualled the value of the cows.
But the poultry end Of the business
was fully as satisfactory as the dairy
end Mrs Jensen started the year with
200 chickens. and after marketing
s15650 worth Of poultry. she had 200
chickens left at the end of the year.
The value of the eggs sold was s244.72,
making the total for chickens and eggs
s401.22. And, remember, she had as
many chickens left as she started with.
Placing the value of the eight cows
at $500 and that Of the 200 chickens
at s12O, Mrs Jensens investment was
s72O. Her gross income was. as above
stated, more than $1,000 Just how
much should be deducted from this for
feed and labor is rather difficult to de-
tern1ine. but the feed was produced on
the farm and the labor-well, that
doesn't really count for much as Mrs.
Jensen had a good deal Of fun all the
time she was making this record with
her COWS and chickens.
