need to take up poultry work to keep
herself busy She was attracted ~
that work because It gave opportunity
to increase the cash income Of the
family, and, being well endowed with
the quality called faculty" she grasp
ed the opportunity. She found time to
build up "a poultry department" of l5O
layers. wlsich has paid her an average
net profit Of $1,000 year FOR years.
and she thoroughly enjoys the work.
The stock kept is Plymouth Rocks.
aud Mrs. Hitchcock grows about 1000
chicks each season. She soon learned
she must have early hatched and we,T|
matured pulets N she was TO get eggs
in the fall and winter dhe time wher
eggs pay rich profit, so she matches
the chicks the first half OF April and
grows them 10 laying maturity by ear

time for cleaning up and whitewashineX
the houses to be ready for new fiOcks
There are two poultry houses. One
IL 5ll5 feet long by 1919 feet wide
The other is 41la feet long by 1915 feet
wide. Two hundred and fifty birds
are honsed In one aud 200 ia the 9th
er. The birds OF each family all run,
together in the house and quarter acre
yard adjoining. This house room IN
limited. being but fraction over two
square feet OF door space per bird.
The authorities agree that four square
feet per bird Is as small as is safe.
Notwithstanding the crowded condi-
ton OF her poultry houses, Mrs. Hitch
cock has been Successful in getting
eggs at The time or highest prices. and
her yearly net profits have averaged
better than 81 apiece per bird The
sale or the hens To market each wear,
at an average price Of 30 cents to 81
apiece, has added that sum to the
gross returns from the poultry We
have been shown sale slips OF ship
ments or hens which showed n net re
turn OF Si.03 per bird, after express
charges and commission were deducted
A study of such decidedly successful
work with poultry is most encourag-
lug. 1t shows that intelligent faith
