have from time to time seen in print
how many eggs a hen was capable of lay
ing in a year, so thought 1 would keep a
daily record of how many my "a hens laid
during the past year, commencing May LIST,
1899 continuing to May LIST 1900. would
give the daily record if it would not make
this article toe long, but will give the
record in months. May, 81; June, 749;
July, sos; August, 776; September, 491 ;
October, 220; November, 233; December,
24S; January, 155; February, 288; March,
400; April, 7O5. Total, GOT eggs or SOC 5-12
dozen. Now call those eggs worth Is cts.p
dozen and you would have $75.97, leaving a
pretty good margin for profits Besides
this have raised thirty chickens and have
just kept the number of hens good by send
ing to market my old ones and keeping the
pullets. If any one has beaten this L would
like to hear from them, and will gladly
answer any questions relating to this
record. I attribute my success to Bowker's
