ton market:

It will thus be seen at a glance that a
common dunghin fowl, if allowed to
raise one or two broods of chicks, will
lay about nine and one-sixth dozen eggs,
which, at an average Of Is cents
per dozen, will amount to $3.50. The
average amount Of manure derived from
each hen when allowed to run at large I
find to be about one bushel per year.
This is readily sold at the door, in this
vicinity at IS cents per bushel, making
the return from each hen to be about
SGT per year. Deduct from this the
keeping, which I find to average about
81. 10 per year, and you have neat lit
tie income Of $1.35 per year from each
hen. I can readily dispose Of all the
eggs at from to 10 cents per dozen ad-
vance on the regular retail price, thus
making my profits average about g
per year from each hen, and this could
be still further raised by saving the
eggs raised in April, May and June un-
til about Thanksgiving time and then
putting them on the Market"

not. Then comes the question why is
it! Is it because he will not allow

blame the reotori II he has done his
duty, and no charge can be brought
against him for neglect OF duty toward
the church, then why is this persecu-
tioni Perhaps it is because he will not
lot them run the church under their
manner of enforcing the ritual and
this is againt the decree OF the Bishop.
Why ia it the Bishop takes sides with
them when he knows that they want
to run the church against his rules and
against his belief! Will some one
of them please answer, through the
REPUBLICAN,, and oblige a mem Der of
the church but rot vestryman' The
people needn't think that "Jay Bird"
