per dozen, will amount to $3.50. The
average amount Of manure derived from
each hen when allowed to run at large I

This is readily sold at the door, in this
vicinity at As cents per bushel, making
the return from each hen to be about
s2.75 per year. Deduct from this the
keeping, which I find to average about
$l.4O per year, and you have neat lit
tie income Of $1.35 per year from each
hen. / can readily dispose Of all the
eggs at from to 10 cents per dozen adj
vance on the regular retail price, thus
making my profits average about 81
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"
