For the Record

Paula gave to me, an old egg collection record book dated from 1921. An example of an entry is February 14, when 25 eggs were laid. She must have had a large number of chickens! By the end of the month, the total eggs laid were 28 dozen with a total revenue of $15.39. Besides being a record book it also advertised Wirthmore Feeds and doled out chicken raising advise, including such harsh words as "Don't feed the slackers and cull out the drones"
