Plan that each pupil who starts with scrub poultry shall try to work 
into pure-bred stock, if possible. This may be done by substitutions

or " Feeding my flock of laying hens." The labor, feed, egg, and 
other records should be compiled and balanced each month as arith- 
metic practice. Toward the end of the school year have the pupils
