 ESTABLISHED
 FOR CHICKENS

Considering their productivity. chickens raised on Douglas Island haxe established an earning record which would be hard to beat as the following facts Will testify
 Miss Doris Simpson bought | AS outlets last August for the purrbse of starting Q small chicken ranch. They were April chickens, and on the 15th of September last year they began to lay and up to February 23 this year 206 dozen eggs were laid. During the month of December five of the hens died or were killed, which left only 49 since the first of Jan qlary. From January 22 to February 22 Miss Simpson got eos eggs. All the eggs have sold for 60 cents per dozen or cents apiece.
 Feed for the chickens during the last named period totaled S9.75, which deducted from the price ob- tained for the 605 eggs left a profit of $2O.50 for the month. The average proSit for the five months is about s1O per month.
 The chickens are all White Leg horns and cost, lad down here from Seattle, $S5.
