ing up stock of cid hens, which lay one day
and stop three. instead of laying three days and
stopping one; in some parts of England it is the
invariabe rule to keep the pullets only one
year. Feeding will do a great deal-a surpris-
ing work indeed-in the production of eggs, but
not when old hens are concerned; they may
put on fat, but they cannot put down eggs.
Their tales are told, their work is over; nothing
remains to be done with them but to give them
smell of the kitchen fire, and the sooner they
get that the better. OF course there are some
old favorites whose lives are to be spared as long
as they can send forth their representatives
