WOlIAN'S POULTRY PROVIDES
FINE PROFITS FOR SEASON

When the winter of 1923 and 1924
was drawing the curtains of brief
sunshine over the days, and the mud
on the rural roads was deep and
made travel tedious, if not unpleas-
ant, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter E. Moore,
who reside near Lewes, Del, read
the papers and also studied out sew
eral problems for the activities for
the year 1924. Each had their plans
and each wanted to help make the
business and work of the year result
in money success for them both.
Mrs. Anna B. Moore knew chickens
and how to handle them successfully,
but had never attempted to make a
business problem of it-other than
or the general benefit of the family
exchequor as a whole but, she form
ed her plans and laid them before
her husband for his criticism, which
he gave willingly and from what he
believed to be a practical point of
view; but Mrs. Moore believed in
poultry, for she had an intimate |
knowledge of what poultry means to |
a farm, when accurate account is
made of the receipts and expendi-
lures each season. They had not re-
quired much of her time to keep in
the past, so her faith was strong.
Mrs. Moore said-"If l can sell ST.
900 worth of eggs and meat from my
flock in 1924, L will take a trip in
February 1925 to Niagara Falls,
where have always wanted to visit
in the winter season" She maze
good and tomorrow, Saturday, Feb
nVsrr lot 10OE oh Loo r,I
LeWes for Niagara Falls, taking her
husband with her. She wants him to
enjoy the trip just as much as she :
does and their mutual satisfaction in
ler accomplishment of her business r
c
She started the season of 1924 with +
$50 Barred Rock hens, high grade
reese and 4 turkeys, with which to
5et one thousand dollars before Jan
larry 1925.
Every egg that was sold and the 2
mount received therefor was set
lown on her record. Every chicken,
roller or grown chicken that was
old for cash, and the sum so re-
eived, was added to the record of
ales. The feathers from the geese
nd the increase of her flock added l!
very considerable sum to her cash
ecord from poultry, while the tur- Z
eys finished the goal with their
leat sold at the holiday season. "a
No mention was made in this rec
rd of the chickens used at the fam G
y table, or the eggs consumed dur
lg the year for either table use,
axes, pies or donations to the
hurch-only the cash received from
le sale of eggs, feathers and flesh I
the poultry.
This means that Mrs. Moore gave
er time to the management of the 3
Oultry, as well as the care of her
0me and other social activities.
How many women in the cities or
WINS earned and had the same
mount of cash to show for their
ears work and business activities?
IN they equal the record of Mrs. Or
