Woman Started Big Business
(Mr*. C.ul \V. HolTmuii, in Farm & Fireside)
We hava put a beautiful new Colonial dwelling here on the farm
• home hatched, ,1 like to tell my husband, from 150 pure-bred c^gs.
"Carl, X said one day, "I'm going to aall < ir scrub hens and get
■mna good eggs and laise some purebred White Leghorns."
He grinned. "Humph " 'he said, "another poultry failure!"
It's seven years uow since that flay he *ot my dander up with his
husbandly grins and grunts. I was as mad as a wet hen—so mad that
] sand nothing but just stuck Ito it until I had done not only what 1 had
an mind but a good deal more.
1 cleared over $5.00 a hen on 2,000 \\ liite/Leghorn pullets la-it year.
They sav I'm the biggest |ioultry-woman in the Southwest.
I don't know as to that, but the thing has grown so fast it takes
my breath sometimes to look back and see myself as I was when I began,
a city bride crying on Hubby's shoulder (because a mean old mule had
ateppad on one of the cate little baby chicks she wanted so awfully to
aaise-
1><day my plant covers 20 acres of,my husband's 320_acre farm. 1
don't pay rent for it, but I buy all |he grain he can grow, paying him
twice the market prifce at threshing time. The business is mine. Since
I'm his best |CU >tomer he gives me a hand with t*he bnbv chicks. He
doeen't eapecially care for jwultry but does a mighty urood job once
the chicks reach the broiler stage; he loses interest until one is placed
< n his plate at dinner.
I keop two other men ami a girl (busy the year round and am on the
jvmp eleven months of the year sujKirvising, selling my products, answer-
ing the some 10,000 letters I get from all ,l>arts of the country. 1 take
a month's vacation, away from the farm every year. I t'hink ovory farm
wife should do the same.
Several thousand customers, located mostly in the Southwest, take all
of tha hatching ^eggs, baby |chicks And breeding stock 1 enn produce.
Daring the other six manths of the year I sell my eggs to a Dallas grocer
at a premium of 10 centa |a dozen. I now have in mind extending my
trade territory a little to the north so as to spread the hatching season
a longer period. Already I have anecesafully shipped stuff a& far
north aa Illinois.
year I sold about 100,000 baby chicks from 20 cents to $1.0>
Quotations are based on production as indicated by daily tr*[>-
reeorda. Hatching tgga sell at 91040 to 915.00 ja hundred, in
lots, vHk t^e beet at $15.00 par aetting. Breeding hens will fcrit't,
•flO.no t > $15.00; cockerels upward of $25.00.
I've had a lot to learn. Still have. It hasn't been easy. When we
moved to the faiin alter we were married ir 1014 I was as green ns^the
trrav on our lawn. City horn and reared, 1 had never set a hen or seen
an incubator. ,
(ios«ips in (own (-aid I, a hclioo. teacher, accustomed kto travel a !
irt'ddin.' about a bit, would never be contented to live on the S'aiin.
M hnslia'ii: in i'.:'. haw tliinuhl il.e Mine 11: uiir for i.e nn

look back now, it was ciiminal the wax I .handled those babies.
But my husband tau<;lit me tie iiidiments ot handlinu a H'.ck. e\i-

OLDEST ROADS IN UNITED STATES
One of these highways is at Swpmpacott, in Massachusetts, near
Boston, where the summer White House is beitti; maintained with Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolldtte at home there.
This road is called the Bench Komi, and is interesting because ot the
distinction of being one of the oldest roads in the I nited States. It wis
formerly an Indian trail, used in )(i28, in within eigh' years alter the
landing of the Pilgrim's.

COTTON SHOWERS
Sbaikelford county got some light cotton showers tins week, in spots
over the county. H. I Rogers rejiorted an inch rain, but very light else-
where in the county. However, where it struck, it helped the cotton clop
some at least.
'FORTY TO ONE"
One gond, pure-bred cow has been known
to produce more than forty of the other
kind.
It costs no more to feed a good cow than
the other kind—the difference is in the
farmer's bank account.
Purebred Live Stock is always a good in-
vestment. It assures year-round profts,
adds permanent prosperity and increases
deposits in the bank.
We will be glad to help you in every way
we can to secure More and Better Live
Stock for your farm and ranch.
