The egg has always been prime OBJ
ject in the breeding Of chickens, The
Jungle fowl of India lays an egg not
half as big as an up to date barnyard
fowl, while the eggs of the Plymouth
Rock or Light Brahma hen attain a sur
prising maximum in respect to dimen-
sions. Not only this, but the modern
hens egg has been artificinlly colored,
as it were, by choosing for breeding
purposes those chickens which laid the
darkest eggs. Thus very brown egg,
not at all tho color ontemplated by
nature, has been produced. There is a
popular notion, derived from nobody
knows what source. that brown eggs
are richer in flavor than white ones,
and they bring higher price in the
market. Similar means have been en-
ployed to increase the rate of egg lay
ing, so that now well bred pullet will
produce 200 or more eggs in the first
year after she has reached maturity. 1t
is obvious that nature never intended
the eggs to be laid ut such rate, mas
much Us the mother hen would not have
time enough to incubate them, much
less take care of the chicks after they
were Matched. Yet, with tho help of a
wooden box and an oil lamp, tho entire
product of eggs can be transformed in
to chicks, which are subsequently rear-
ed by an artificial mother.

There is but little profit in keeping
hens after they have passed through
their hen year. The White and Brown
Leghorns frequently continue to lay
well when or 3 years old, but it is an
exception and not the rule. Females of
all the heavy breeds deteriorate materi-
ally after their hen year. OF course there
is occasionally an exceptional hen, but
we never find her in large flocks for the
reason that breeders of these large flocks
have no time to study each old hem S
