Now the farâ€" mers (or more often the farmers‘ wives or daughters) who do this kind of work do not consider the expenditure of time and nervous force in dressing and preparing fowls, plus the time of going to deliver them from house to house, or delivering them to their cusâ€" tomers. If they did, I think they would realize that the extra price they got for fowls delivered to families har. ‘ dly paidfor time so expended. I have } always believed that I could earn that money far easier by increasing the number of chickens grown. I would rather grow six hundred roasting chickens and sell them to the buyer alive than grow four hundred and sell them picked, etc., to families. The same argument applies to selling eggs to families. Let us suppose one has | families that buy from one to three | dozen each a week, with an average 1 of two dozen each, one hundred dozâ€"| en a week. It takes quite a bit ofi time to go around to the different houses. two or ‘three minutes being. lost here and there by the servant beâ€"| ing in anouher part of the house and % possibly not hearing the first ring of| the door bell, and. again being met| with a request for an extra dozen | which means a trip out to the rig.
