Profit boosters for pullet raisers from Prairie Farmer tips
Prairie Farmer advises care of early sparked pullets as prices for eggs and poultry stay strong while feed costs ease. Range raising yields healthier birds that start laying earlier, boosting profits. A comparison shows how chick costs and sale price matter less than management, with fewer losses, heavier grow-out, and efficient feed use driving over 100 percent gains. Local note: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Schreiner Jr. hosted Milledgeville guests.

Itinerant cleaners warned to fix total cost in writing
Prairie Farmer advised in 1948 that travelers cleaning cisterns should agree on the total price upfront and in writing to avoid being gypped. An Illinois farm example shows cleaners quoting a little over 10 but charging 72 at completion. Local workers are recommended to stay with community-based services. Mr and Mrs David Smith of Flushing Michigan visited Miles Byers and Nancy Smith joined for a two week vacation.
