Of your life.
A good many moving IN and some
of our best citizens moving out F.
+. Hutchinson has about sold out and
will soon 90 back 20 Arizona, TO the
regret Of his many friends and kin
Mr. and Mrs Mike S. Burnside are
moving back to Glrrard county We
regret very much to see them 20
| May our loss be- their gain Lancaster
IS their old home and they need no
recommendation. nevertheless we
feel there will hc a vacancy in losing
such families as the Hutchison, Burn
side and Hiatt. The two latter will
make old Garrard mighty good citi-
zens and may they cherish these fam
lies as citizens. as We have seen their
goodness The Interior Journal will
/ loose one Of It's best reporters in
Mrs. James Hiatt from Mt. Moriah.
, May be she will still give us few
lines from Hyattsvillr.
! will give YOU by actual count
eggs used in cooking and sold Sold
S163.l4 worth Of eggs during the
year of 1917, total Of 5i4 dozen
at 30 cents per dozen Prices fluctu-
ated during year from 30 to soc per
dozen. hence average price zoe. We
used right close to 100 dozen during
the year in pastry cooking and eat
ing. We set ~ - dozen, making "A
ground total of 69l - dozens. II
We sold them all at zoe would have
been S20s 80. Number Of laying
hens Is, an average Of Is dozen and
seven to hen. or 2l6 TO hen. This is
actual facts and furthermore our hens
did not lay anything extra. II was n
very bad year on layers and any re
liable poultry man will say the same.
But bear in mind we have the old
brown leghorn chickens. hatched from
old trusty incubator. madeby Harry
Johnson and mother. We believe in
ubator chickens commence laying
sooner than those hatched by hens.
Our incubator chicks commence to
lay at hvc months old. Those hatchcd
by hen generally at seven and eight
months, that is the Leghorn. The
white Wyandottc is our second
choice layers. In fact they both go
to laying nj five months old. Now
from a two-year-old heifer We sold |
$500 worth of butter beside the |
calf we sold for $3.50 at our sale !
and the COW for $6S50. making n to-
tai of Sl46.2O and when she was five !
months old ! was offered SIS. | kept |
her 10 months and sold her for near
ly ten times as much. Now does it
pay to keep your heifer calves? ! on
ly make mention of this TO see if
some other good woman can't do the
same or better. Anyone that does
not believe the eggs and butter ac-
count, can write Mobcrly, Of Nc
Creary, and VIM. Dickerson, of Ian
caster, and also Bailey a Moss, they
are the ones who bought them. Total
sold by me S2S7.47. II | should count
my COW il would be $355.97. This
was my pin money or what ! made
independent of my husbands help. !
urge all housewives in the county to
get good strain of chickens and go
TO work and not be depending on
their husbands for everything, The
best feed that we have ever gotten
hold Of is Purina Chowder chick feed.
II will make hens lay when nothing
else will. We got ours from w. II.
Higgins, of Stanford. During the
year of 1917 sold sos worth of
chickens. want to see what other {
lady can beat my record, although
am not running a race with any one,
My advice is to get the pure strain of {
chickens of some kind, they are the (
best. With best wishes to all the /
readers.
