PROFITABLE EGG FARMING. 
Feed and Cook House, Lakewood Farm. 
the winter is certainly remarkable. The eggs 
are shipped every day excepting Sunday, and 
the eggs of yesterday are being used by their 
customers today; from three to five cases being 
the daily shipment. 
In addition to their fancy “strictly fresh” 
egg trade they are raising summer broilers for 
the near-by sea-shore trade, and this line of 
work promises to be decidedly profitable. Here 
is a most promising poultry business already 
developed, and with the addition of the selling 
of eggs for hatching and breeding stock of their 
two popular varieties there is a brilliant future 
in store for Lakewood Poultry Farm.

work. 
In looking over the field of opportunities in 
the various branches of poultry culture, one 
cannot help noting the importance of the pro¬ 
duction and marketing of strictly fresh, new- 
laid eggs and it seems strange that this particu¬ 
lar field is comparatively unworked in propor¬ 
tion to its importance. Egg farming is today 
perhaps one of the best specialties in practical 
poultry keeping, in which large profits and quick
