 The number of birds in the above flocks 

 is as follows: — Hillside 618; Parsons 170; 

 Witt 240; Steele 224; Ehvell 24. This 

 shows that high egg production need not 

 be confined to small flocks. Two having 

 over 1,000 birds each had an average egg 

 production of over 10 eggs per bird in 

 Januarv. 



HOW TO MAKE A PROFIT 



It Will Cost You 50 cents to Find Out 



Could you use a little more money? 

 Most people could but the trouble seems 

 to be to get it. There are lots of farmers 

 who know they have taken in a lot of 

 money. They also know that there is 

 little or nothing left after the bills are 

 paid. It would help every farmer to 

 know where his money comes from and 

 where it goes. 



In the past elaboiate systems of farm 

 book keeping have been advocated which 

 would need a ceitified public accountant 

 to keep and then would take three of 

 them to tell what all the figures meant. 

 It is little wonder that farmers have not 

 kept such systems. After a man has 

 worked hard all day he is not wildly en- 

 thusiastic about pushing a pencil for sev- 

 eral hours to find out where the ten cents 

 he made yesterday has gone._ Fortun- 

 ately it is not necessary. We have a 



farm account book which will show you 

 where your money came from and where 

 it goes if y.ou will use ten minutes a day 

 setting down the figures. 



We will go even further than this. 

 Every account book that is kept for a 

 year will be summarized so that you can 

 see .just how well you have done and why. 

 When the book is returned a statement 

 will be enclosed suggesting how you may 

 increase your profits. 



For these books we are charging 50 

 ci-nts to cover cost of printing. This is 

 the only expense for this service to you. 

 Send your order in to-day, to the Ham- 

 shire County Extension Service, 59 Main 

 Street, Northampton, Mass. If, after you 

 have looked the book over, you do not 

 think it fits your needs, send it back and 

 your money will be refunded.

 New England and are in a position to give you valuable information on how to mix your own
