530 POULTEY CULTURE 



Egg Record ; Page 2. — The number of eggs gathered should 

 be recorded daily. 



Poultry Debits; Pages 3-9. — ^All items of expense or any- 

 thing received by the poultry such as birds purchased or 

 received as gifts, and feed, etc., should be recorded daily when 

 the business is done; do not wait until payment is made. The 

 number of pounds of feed and values of same should be 

 entered in the separate columns so designated; all else should 

 be entered in the Misc. column, unless it is desired to separate 

 some other class of items such as cost of constructing certain 

 buildings, cost of rearing chicks, etc., when the middle column 

 may be so marked and used. 



The estimated value of all labor besides the operator's, in- 

 cluding horse and man labor, whether actually hired or 

 donated, should be entered at least monthly. Do this regu- 

 larly so it will not be forgotten. 



A simple method of recording the settlement of accounts 

 with outside persons is to place a check ( v ) just after the item 

 when settlement has been made. In this way one can easily 

 see if all transactions with any particular party have been 

 settled. 



Poultry Credits; Page 6. — ^Entries should be made daily 

 when the transactions occur. All transactions in which the 

 poultry produces something of value, should be noted here, 

 such as eggs sold, used at home, or given away; feathers sold, 

 etc. The values and number of dozens of eggs disposed of 

 should be placed in the columns so designated; all else should 

 be entered in the Misc. column unless it is desired to separate 

 some other class of items such as meat, breeding stock, day-old 

 chicks, etc., when the middle column may be so marked 

 and used. 



No entries should be made for eggs used for hatching or 

 for any other such operations which are neither poultry 

 credits nor debits; merely the use of one form of finished 

 product as a raw product for the production of another. 



Show settlements of accounts by V as for the debits. 



Incubation Record; Page 4. — The column headed "identi- 

 fication" is intended for any mark or name by which the
