A REVOLUTION IN EGG PRODUCTION 



63 



Allowing the meat sold to offset the feed used in raising 

 the young stock, and the cost of eggs for hatching at prices

The eggs were sold at an average price of 32.91c per 

 dozen, this pi-ice being 8.20c per dozen above the cost of feed. 



The reader is reminded that every item of feed for this 

 flock had to be purchased, because there was no opportunity, 

 at any time, for the birds to "pick up their living." They had 

 in addition to the feed purchased, a few table leavings from
