The question is often asked,
can chickens be made to pay?
While not posing asan authority
can simply say that the small
flock | had in 1916 paid clear Of
all expenses $3.50 per head,
while those of this year, which
were on the whole not a good
sample of pullets, Melted Sl.00
per head, this in spite of the high
price of feed and having to pur-
chase same in small quantities.
But there is one item not gener-
ally reckoned in and that is in
the fertilizer they give, not only
from the dropping boards but in
the way they fertilize the ground
in their runs even if there was
no gain through egg production.
Yet the gain through the fertili-
cation of the runs in orchard and
other places means gain which
spells dollars. Vashon can un.
doubtedly produce results with
