When Leander Brooks «ume to
town one day last week with 300
down eggs in a trailer, thus proving
that you couldn't drown out or snow
out a fltm flock of Bngiteh Leghorn*,
he mated quite a sensation on the
tfquare. Those high quality Infertile
eggs remained in perfect condition
during th* wook of snow and heavy
rains which prevented Mm from mak-
ing hi* customary marketing trip to
PUot Point; ha asually lik«> to bring
them tn several times a week.
80 many had suggested to the
Pilot that she see this flock of hens
that she wu glad to call out there, form
The fam, a short distance from the Child 1
old Light Bench bouse, is a tract of
over 800 acres. 200 of which la in
grain. The Broolu, who are raising
their third crop there, earns from
Tioga where they ran a dairy farm
for 8 years. Mr. Brook* finds that
raising chickens is less confining and
more interesting than working with
dairy stobk—in fact the family uro
milking only two cows at present.
Mr. Brooks has about 600 English
Whit* Leghorns which ho keeps far
egg produetion; is expecting e ship-
ment of 400 baby chick* on the 4th.
Though he could buy chick* for half
that price, b« pays 20c apiece for
them, preferring ta pay top price for
quality stock, 90 per cent of which
1M0 ar* guaranteed to be pullets. The
UM 300 infertile egg* which arc produc-
ed dally by those layer* command a
fancy price, especially in the summer
when there is fateraesed demand fer
the mfertiiea.
Whfl* Mr. Brooks has about 66
sheep, he hasn't gone in to the sheep ^*F-
hosineas on a large scale, aa have
some of the farmers out on Light's.
He seems to think though that with
his chickero, his 300 acres of land,
njost of which is under cnltivatic’-
and other farm duties he te a pnl
