Especial to the kennebec JournaD
Winslow, Me-, March 14.-Miss
Rebekah Reed Of Winslow, won the
State Boys and Girls club
championship in poultry for 1928
and she tells in an interesting man
3rer, how she achieved this success.
II did not join the poultry man
agement club until January, as the
understanding with my sister was
that she should have that project
three years or until she won State
championship; then l was to take it,
when l took over the hens they
were laying from three to five eggs
day and by the last of the month
they had reached thirty eight and
continued to increase for the next
four months. They have averaged
to lay one hundred and forty eggs
per hen and the total receipts from
eggs was two hundred fifty.
I'm March | purchased four hun
dred egg incubator and set it in
April with three hundred and forty
eggs as they were SO large it would
hold no more. | watched it closely
as this was my first experience run
ming an incubator. On May second
which was one day early, the chick
ems began to hatch in spite of the
fact that often nights it ran quite
low.
II ran the incubator twice and
fatched four hundred chicks. Near
ly all were strong and healthy. I
lost about 80 chickens. most of
them from accidents such as being
run over by automobiles
When the chickens got to be a
month or two old they kept me
nusy making mash boxes, keeping
them filled and keeping the brooder
house clean.
About the middle of August 7
began to sell the cockerels and
from then on we have dressed from
Twelve to twenty-five chickens n
week. At first l sold all of them
10 the store hut there were so
many chickens raised around here
that soon the market was glutted
ana the price began to drop so I
mad to look farther for a market.
Il telephoned to some of the peo.
pie that my father was acquainted
with and the first week sold about
Fone half dozen. Since then the
oIuerS nave increased so that now
l nave no trouble in selling all that
we can dress and also get much
better price for them.
L have sold five hundred and
seventy dozen of eggs, besides four
hundred and twelve eggs for set-
ting and in spite of the high nricss
OF grain my poultry has netted me
over six hundred and fifty dollars
at the rate of one dollar and
seventy-five cents per hour for INV
own labor. my
MY eighty-four hens netted over
elght dollars per hen and I expect
10 winter about 200 pullets, some
OF which are now laying.
