Money in Poultry.
The opportunities offered in this
section for the energetic housewife
to make money by raising chickens
for the market are great. For ex
ample take Mrs. A. E. Rowe, of
Nebo. During the past year Mrs.
Rowe has sold $52.33 worth of
chickens und eggs. When she
started selling chickens she only
had about twenty-five hens, to-day
she has forty. She not only sup
plied her own household with
chickens and ggs but was able to
sell them at a good profit. Other
people in McDowell county would
find poultry raising profitable and
interesting-
