Two EGGS PER DAY. have
read of the hen that laid SO
many eggs per day, down in Maryland,
but never gave it credit and do not now.
But my experience lately with pen of
Houdans, shows me that it may be a
point worth striving for to see if we can
get a breed of fowls that are not limited
to one egg day. Last March I picked
out my breeding stock of Houdans, and
separated them from any other fowls,
giving to each cock eight hens. They
have laid well all the spring. Occasion
ally I got more eggs than l had hens,
and did not know how to account for it;

box, to shut up each hen when she went
on to the nest. find that two hens of
The eight have laid two eggs each in q
single day, on q number Of occasions,
but they fail to lay the next day; then
hey lay two the next. On no occasion
have they laid on the succeeding day
after doing double duty. Could we not,
BY forcing to the utmost, get by breed
