sold and shipped out during January
and February sixty-five dollars ana
fifty cents worth of eggs and CHICK
ems. This is not much, but SHOWS
what YOU can do with pure-oreu
poultry. 1t is the worst sort oi
fooIishness TO raise poultry OF any
sort at any time or in any place il
not IN got the most profitable re-
suits. A great many people say
when they begin that they are not IN
the poultrv business for profit. but
merely as a recreation and pastime'
To admit this or say as much is to
admit that the experiment is fall
ure. as far as results are concerned
Raise poultry for profit. Get the
best results that can be had from
the most efficient service and you
have a success equal to any and a
pleasure that can be spelled in dol
lars and cents. 1t has been truly
said that we Americans are nation
of the almighty dollar. That is not
so very much to our discredit. the
old world is on quiet hunt for the
almighty dollar and is not condemned
simply because they failed in their
efforts to get it.
/ have a pen of twelve Barred
Rock pullets that | think are fine
They are the "Welles fluffy ruffles,
the greatest layers | ever saw.
have an f. B. Thompson cock that
heads this pen. All my pullets weigh
from seven and one-half 70 nine
pounds each A visit to my yards
will prove that my breeding pens are
made up of birds exactly as adver
tised and that they are kept under
satisfactory conditions. To my form
er customers l promise to continue
| tc merit their confidence; to pros
pective customers one order is suf
| ficient to inspire faith in the abso
late sincerely CT my methods. A
great many people ask me the ques
ton, does advertising pay? After {
| few years of almost continuous ad
vertising, / should say that it does
pay and pays we'll. If you doubt M
| word about it, you try an ad in the
Enterprise and see what success yor
fave. | have found out the Waxa
fachie Enterprise goes into hun
dreds of homes, yea into the thou
sands. IT pays the farmer, the bust
| ness man, the poultry raisers to ad
vertise. If you have stock or egg
TO sell that you know has merit
don't hesitate to let others know
about it. There are others just as
eager to buy as you are to sell, but
they will not buy of you unless yot
let them know what you have to sell
If you were the only person who hat
any eggs or stock to sell probably i
would be unnecessary for you TO ad
yertise. We all know and under
stand why the poultry experts o
SCHOOL gardens plans utilize small
spring and summer eggs and poultr,
will soar skyward. They are to TAKE
the place of meat, hence the advance
, in value. So let us equip ourselves
with necessary devices, throw off tina
lazy. woe-begone feeling, roll up GU
sleeves and with song in our moutl
SO forward and make ready TO NEE
