FEW years ago, while~ living on_a poultry farm in New York state, I be- came dissatisfied = with. the prices we,_ were re- ceiving for our produce, so thought to perfect a selling ‘plan whereby I could make the same profit ‘| the dealer made. I had thought of about every method under the sun, but none seemed to answer so decided to try a method of my own. The thought came to me that money, properly in- vested, begets more money, so decided that I must invest some money in my idea. The first thing I did was to weed out all of the scrubs and keep only pure- bred hens so that the eggs would be _uniform in color and size as far as”’ possible. I now had a fine assortment of white leghorns. § always wash dirty eggs in spite of the advice given by so many poultrymen. I find that the dif- ference in the looks of an egg more than repays “me for any trouble or damage that might result. I first had 500 cartons printed with the name of my farm and my address and a guarantee that every egg was strictly fresh. On every egg 1 used a rubber stamp with the name of my farm on it. The cartons held one dozen eggs each and had a seal so that each package could be properly sealed. I next secured the names of about 100 housekeepers in our nearest city and sent to them a typewritten letter asking for their trade the rest of the season. The re- sult was marvelous. In two weeks I had more trade and call for eggs than I could possibly handle. I pasted a return postal order blank in each car- ton and each week tried to reach my customers on the same day. This plan may. have been worked before, but it was new in our section and I am sure would prove successful anywhere. DRY FEEDING SHEEP Sheep carried through the winter on wheat straw or timothy hay are liable to impaction. Don McMadan, exten- sion veterinarian for the North Dako- ta Agricultural college, . states that this _condition can be prevented by feeding some succulent feed as roots or silage and a small amount of some nutritious food as oil meal, bran, oats or-alfalfa hay, with free access to salt and a good supply of water.
