22 $4223.00 PROFIT IN ONE YEAR 



Making the $4,223.00 



I kept about ninety females for my breeding pens, and about ten 

 males, selling off my culls for table use. I farmed out a lot of utility 

 stock to farmers. By doing this I was enabled to supply a heavy demand 

 for utility eggs that came from birds that had plenty of range and eggs 

 strong in fertility that produced vigorous stock. I sold many eggs from 

 $2.50 to $30.00 per setting, and raised about five hundred youngsters. I 

 followed the ideas described in this book. At the end of the year I 

 found I had sold $9,515.00 worth of stock and eggs. My expenses, in- 

 cluding advertising, feed bills, boy's wages, etc., amounted to $5,292.00, 

 leaving a balance of $4,223.00. 



These figures do not include the eggs and springers used on my table. 

 The eggs and stock sold to the market would run about five hundred dol- 

 lars. The balance of $9,015.00 was from sales of hatching eggs, baby 

 chicks and standard bred stock.
