CHICKENS .... expenie
five months ago in this column
1 toUi annul having become the
proud papa of a hatch oj baby
chu Ks and ot my c perience,
«uii no equipment and no previ
uus knowledge 0f chicken raising
m bringing cause chicks through
-heir first pg’-dous weeks ot life.
U ell. today 1 an ceioblaung
having become a grandpa — the
lust of those little chickens has
lam an egg!
Alter the excitement over the
first ggg ever raised by our fum_
dy had died down, 1 began figur
ing how much it costs to raise a
chicken to the egg-laying stage.
I had kept careful records, think
ing that 1 some day might want
to expand my backyard enter
piise. The figures at first seemed
rather discouraging. Disregard
ing all costs of equipment and
labor, which was plenty, the
cost
ly
Per chicken was $1.1
broken down this way

1 admit that through inexperi
ence I may have wasted consider
able feed, hut if costs which 1
didn’t consider were taken into
consideration I doubt if even an
authority , on chicken raising
could- do it for much less.
Of course, 1 may have expected
too much. I had the idea that
chickens sort of supported them
selves like birds do. Hut I soon
found that they act as if their
sole dutv in life is to eat as much
as possible. .And as for roosteis
—when they go at their eating

Although the investment in
raising a chicken to eggjiood
seemed high to me at first, an
analysis of future possibilities
became intriguing. in fact ac
cording to the arvertisements. I
cOlild nrohablv sell those chick
ens right now for at least S'.!.00
apiece—which would mean a
profit of almost 10 i ei cent in a
months.
Uut to look into it further. I
figured that if 1 kept the chick
ens and let them lay eggs for a
year, normal expectations should
mean a profit of about jet. 00 per
chicken and 1 would still have
the chicken to eat or sell 1 think
I have figured that $3.00 profit

One Job Well Done Begets Another
THERE'S no satisfaction in all the world like the feeling of
having done a job well — of being able to see the results of
your work This is one thing that all producers of useful things have
in common.
‘ And those of us whose job is production — whether of goods on
farms and in factories, or of ser vices in stores and banks and utilities
- can best see the results of our work in the high standard of living
which we have helped to create in America. For this standard is
budt on our ability to produce more per person thun any other
nation on earth. And the people of every country, who are looking
hopefully to us for food and weapons, cun count on America because
it has this great productive might.
After the war is over? Many people are talking about a richer life
for all of us then. And they’re right! For that richer life will be
brought about, not by promises, but by hard work on the part of
America’s producers. And they those who grow and make and do
things—can do this post war job better if they work together and
understand each olner. General Electric Co , Schenectady, N. Y.

conservatively. I estimate that
the chickens will average 13 doz
en eggs each over a year, that
the eggs will be worth 50 cents
a dozen and that the cost of
feeding won’t be over 7 cents
per chicken per week.
On this basis, if I made n
clear $3.00 profit on eggs and
then sold the chicken for $3.00
—it would mean a total return
of $5.00 on my original st. 15
investment—or more than triple
my money.
This thing is getting more and
more fascinating. Maybe my
arithmetic is all wrong Maybe I
ought to think more about euuip
mont, chicken diseases. casual
ties, cuts in egg prices, teed
scarcities and all those pessimis
tic things farmers talk' about.
But if I’m right I ought to be
able to make a killing on Wall

When I told a man who was
raised on a farm that 1 had fig

raising 5,000 chickens, tie just
laughed at me. He didn’t tel! me
