1 high-priced pure-bred Dire*. Mrs. W.
County, has succeeded in bulKliug up
a valuable poultry busiucss.
As reported by Mr. A. G. Oliver,
Extension Poultry Specialist. 'Airs..
Strickland began lier work iu the
spring of 1910 with only two pure-bred
liens aud one coke re 1. From these
were raised fcti chicks during the tirst
year. In November the flock was
culled to 20 hens aud two cockerels.
Two additional cockerels were pur
chased early in 11*11 for $25. which
were used to further strengthen the
old 1910 flock.
In 11*11. a pen of five srrong. vigor
ous birds was purchased for $75. and
to this pen was added six of the best
hens, making?stl*at Mrs. Strickland
designated as pen No. 1. From these
she sold a large number of eggs at $4
per sitting, and later in October sent
exhibit to the ;3taie Fair, taking many
premiums ainl four blue ribbons for
the best pullets in the snow.
So encouraging were the results of
the lv* 12 work that in 1913 she decid
!ed to further improve the flock by buy
ing a cockerel for which she paid $100.
With this bird aud the four blue rib
bon pullets of the previous year and
six of her best hens. Mrs. Strickland
made up pen No.* 2. with which she
again took several premiums at the
State Fair.
In a)l. daring 1912. 1913, and 1914.
$2.200 worth of birds and eggs were
sold from Orpington Farm. Good re
sults were secured because these pure
bred hens were often laying wnen their
chicks were only three weeks old,
though they still took ?are of the
young.
?Aggressive work with ;ne different?
pens was suspended in February, 1915.
because of Mrs. Strickland's being af
flicted with blindness and being un
able to give the flock good attention.
However, new blood, was Introduced
each year, and in tlTe spring of 1919.,
when her sight ?was-partially restored.
Mrs. Strickland took up ht-r work"
again, having on hand*tine bunch of
