to run my place. I have a well 170
feet deep with an Inexhaustible supply
of water. The well with pump cost
me $400. I have built a $125 chicken
house and put up nearly $50 worth of
poultry fencing; have built root cellars
to hold over 3,000 bushels of potatoes
and other vegetables. As to income, I
raise about ten acres of garden nnd
roots annually which net from $000 to
$1,000 total. I generally sell from
20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings
from $8 to $14 per ton. My grain is
most nil used on the farm except a
few hundred bushels sold to the neigh
bors for seed. My four milk cows bring
In from $50 to $80 each (counting calf).
Last year 80 hens laid 000 dozen eggs
which averaged more than 25 cents a
dozen (I always work for winter egg
production). The surplus hens were
sold in spring, dressed at $1 each. My
turkeys average $2.50 each In fall. By
having vegetables to feed my young
cattle, the two-year-old steers bring
$75 each in spring." Advertisement.
