SUCCESS WITH POULTRY.
Hazel Bursell Gives Some Interesting
Facts and Figures.

That there is money in poultry rails
ing has been demonstrated by Hazel
Bursell of the Monmouth section, who
makes considerable money, besides
riding daily about four miles to high
school and also studying music. Hav-
ing first become interested through ju-
venile fair work, for encouragement
she was given start from one OF the
best laying focks of White Wyan-
dottes in Portland. Last year she
kept complete daily record on twen-
ty-nine pullets from April 4 to Sep
tember l. The cost of feed, such as
grains, grit, oyster shell, bran, shorts
and some beefscrap, was $7.32. Moth
ing was charged against the flock for
green feed, sweet skim milk and table
scraps.
She was surprised to find the num-
ber of eggs received in that time,
nearly five months, were 1852, an av-
erage of S8 eggs per hen, and these
when sold brought %40.19. All mar
ketable feed was charged, and eggs
sold at Dallas market prices. The
profits were found to be greater in
August, when eggs were scarce, than
in April. She believes that any one
keeping flock records will be surprised
to find the profit there is in poultry
raising.
AS there is nothing so very difficult
about 1.-THE three essentials being,
a hen naturally intended for layer,
knowledge of proper feed and care,
and no "lazy bones any one can do
as well. She began the first of this
year to keep records on a larger flock.
and expects to have profted by last
years experience.
