CHICKS 



The eggs must be collected, the hard grain fed and the birds 

 must have their water, but this can all be done at one trip 

 with horse and cart nine months of the year. During the 

 balance of the season it will be necessary to make an extra 

 watering trip in the morning, ' but fortunately this extra 

 work comes when other work is not pressing. 



* If you are working a^ plant alone, how many more birds 

 can you care for on this system? If you are hiring labor, 

 does it not appeal to you that the birds will be cared for 

 in better shape with less high priced labor? If you are in 

 it for pleasure alone, will you not get more enjoyment out 

 of it if you do not have all the drudgery of the old system 

 to contend with?
