How MANY EGGS A YEAR?

How MANY EGGS A YEAR?
From the Farmers Voice.
How many eggs hen will lay in
year depends upon her breeding
feed and age. A hen Matched in
the fall. says writer, is dwarfed
and loses all her first winter; but
if she is Matched in the spring she
comes into service by the end of
the year. As she begins on the
second year she has already lost one
year in growth, and, beginning
with the first egg at any time, a
record may be kept from the first
day of her laying 20 the end. AS
there are sos days in year, hen
can not possibly lay over that num-
Der, supposing she lay one a day.
1t is preposterous to state that a
hen will lay an egg every day in
the year, for she requires about
100 days for moulting, which re-
duces the number to 265. Usually
she lays a batch of fromI2 to 20
eggs, and then ceases for a few
days, or tries to set, and begins on
another batch. If she lays on an
average S days a week, she will be
doing wonderfully well, which is
equivalent to division of 265 days
by seven, in order to get at the
number of weeks, which are about
sc, and 5 eggs a week will make
the number $50. Here (on paper
we have $50 eggs from one hen in a
year, but even after such calcula-
ton we must acknowledge that
hens do not produce so many. If
the hens in a flock average 100
eggs in a year they will be doing
as we'll as can be expected; still
there are instances known in which
certain hens have laid asmany as
IT'S, perhaps more; but such cases
are the exception and not the rule.
1t is not expected that hens which
receive no care will lay as well as
those cared for nor will overfat
hens do we'll; and hence we say
that, considering the many disad-
vantages to be encountered, and
the many ills and drawbacks that
stand in the way, it is safe to say
that 100 eggs are fully up to the
average Of what is usually done by
an ordinary flock.

BENTON HARBOR ICE-ROUND.
The Ludiington, Which Went i'm Search of

BENTON HAEBoR Mich, Feb. 2-Tte
steamer Ludington, which left Milwaukee
for a cruise along the east shore in search
of whatever may be found of the steamer
Chicora's wreck, failed to reach 1t. Joseph
harbor. She was sighted about four or
five miles away at $40 in the afternoon,
and when Just about opposite the harbor
put out into the lake in the direction of
Chicago. II is supposed that the Luding
ton gave up the attempt to make the
harbor on account of the miles of ice
which yet lay between her and the shore.
A code of signals had been arranged to
communicate with persons on the shore
should she succeed in finding anything.
and as she was flying none when she
passed here it is believed that her efforts
were fruitless. Hundreds o. people anx-
iousiy awaited her arrival at st. Joseph

Tue delegates from the silver states to
the next national conventions of the
two old parties may be called upon by
the people they will represent to per-
form most disagreeable duty. They
should attend those conventions with
the avowed purpose OF securing an I'M
qualified free coinage plank in the plat
forms. Failing in this they should be
instructed to walk out OF the convention
in body and proceed with the organ
'zation OF new party with the free
coinage OF silver as its primary object.
To do this might be painful and dis
agreeable duty to them, yet it would be
the only true and proper course for the
friends OF silver, the money OF the peo-
pie, to pursue. Now is the time to
discuss the matter. The old parties
must do something for silver or lose the
support of its friends.
