140 HOW I MADE $10,000 IN ONE YEAR 



hens laid an average of 120.4 eggs in Iiy 2 months. The 

 table following shows the spread of the yield from the 145 

 egg pullets and from the hens : 



Egg Yield Egg Yield 



Month per Pullet per Hen 



September, 1917 1.1 6. 



October w 5.6 3.7 



November 10.5 3.2 



December 13.7 6. 



January, 1918 13.1 10.3 



February 12.8 12.2 



March 17.2 16.8 



April 17.3 17.4 



May 16.7 16.

July 12.6 10.3 



August . 11.1 6.5* 



Total 145.1 120.4 



This table is presented for the benefit of the beginner 

 who may wish to know what he might expect as to egg 

 yield from month to month. Its use as a guide is only 

 relative, however. Weather conditions, both during the 

 growing period and during the laying season, will ma- 

 terially affect the egg-flow. Some seasons there will be 

 a heavier production during October and November with 

 a decline in January, and in such case the yield in the 

 following season is apt to be lighter, especially during the 

 summer and fall. 



*NOTE: The hens were sold on August 15, 1918, on which day they failed to pay 

 their feed bill.
