Butter and Egg Money
Who hasn’t heard a farm wife
proudly say: “I bought it with my
butter and egg money.”
Over the years, the income from
poultry flock and, in many cases,
from other sidelines on the general
form, has given many housewives a
feeling of security and independence.
It has bought home furnishings, new
conveniences, extra clothes for the
children, and other things that might
not have been forthcoming from the
regular farm income.
When taking stock of farm enter-
prize, it is only good business to de
vote the most time and attention to
the activity which promises the best
return. But it is not good business to
overlook lesser sources—to belittle
“butter and egg money” as something
only causual attention.
The wise farmer is one who finds
time to give his wife at least a reas
onable amount of cooperation as she
does her part to boost the family in
come, for even he might be surpris
ed, were he to keep track of this side
line income for a year. The Vermont
Experiment station made a survey in
1933 and found that chickens (one of
the most important sources of sup
plementary farm income throughout
the nation) returned twenty-four
Vermont housewives an average of
3290 each. Egg sales accounted fo'
sixty percent of their average gross
receipts. Now is the time to make
your plans for another poultry year.

Cellophane Curtains
Last week Mrs. Verona B. Domin
ick was showing me over her new
house,and when we came to the kitch
en and breakfast room, I told her how
pretty I thought her curtains were. I
was looking at them from a distance,
and she told me to go close and look
at them. Imagine my surprise to find
they were made of cellophane. Red,
blue, green and other color flowers on
a plain background. They really were
novel. “Instead of having to take my
curtains down and wash them,” Mrs.
Dominick said, “I just dust them off.”
