of the doings of hen in his possession,

April she came off with 10 chickens, in
June with IA, and in September with 1
more, making total of 80 chickens.
Her first brood began to lay in August,
while the youngest are nearly full grown,
and the old matron did not use all her
eggs for incubation at that, and this win
