WHITE WYANDOTTES 115 
you’ve dug the hole. The incubators will be here 
in good time, and we want everything ready for 
work as soon as the eggs arrive.” 
Sam was pleased with his job; it was exactly 
to his liking. He took real delight in caring for 
fowls, and he was especially anxious to prove to 
me that it was not so much lack of knowledge 
as lack of capital that had caused the downfall 
of his previous efforts. Sam could not then 
understand why one man could sell his eggs at 
thirty-six cents a dozen when his neighbor could 
get only sixteen; he found out later. 
The mason’s work for the incubator house and 
the foundation wall for the brooder house cost 
$290. The lumber bill for these two, including 
doors and windows, was $464. The five incu- 
bators, $65, and the hot-water heater for the 
brooder house, $68, made the total $897. Add 
to this $400 paid during two months for eggs, 
and we have $1297 as the cost of starting the 
poultry plant.
