KEEPING OLD HENS.
It Does Not Pay and the Farmer Who
Sticks to the Practice Is Sure
to BE Loser.

Experiments along the line of egg
production show that the pullets from
the time they are six months old I'M
til they are is months old lay twice
as many eggs as will hens three and
tour years old in the same length Of
time.
1T has been found by keeping a care

that there is but little profit in keep.

she lays will all be left for profit, al

farmers do not give sufficient care in.
cold weather and do not expect to get
eggs except through spring and SUM
mer. At this time the old hens per-
haps lay as we'll as the pullets, but
it would be much more profitable to,
keep fowls that lay during the en-
tire year.
The hen that moults late in the falp
is most usually an invalid all winter,
and 1T would be economy to sell her
at any price unless she is a special
favorite for setting and raising chick
ems. Such hens Chose that are good
mothers), should be kept until they
die of old age, as they are useful and
usually very scarce. They should be
marked with metal leg bands.
One reason so many farmers allow
their fiocks to consist of hens of air
ages is that they cannot raise enough
in one year to replace the old ones.
II mixed breeds were kept the old

on hand In lieu of them eather hinges
might be used.
Next came the roof, which was made
large enough to project few inches
all around. Some were made Of
dressed pieces of board and the cracks
were battened; others of half-inch
rough lumber, covered with roofing
felt.
A few of those first built were pro-
rided with floors for half their area;
but the hen invariably chose to hover
her brood in the unfoored half, SO the
floors were removed.
These coops proved far more practi-
cal and satisfactory than the old-fash-
toned coops. Besides the greater COM
fort they afford the hen and her
brood, there is less danger of the
chicks being trampled to death.
1t was not unusual to find daily egg
in some of the coops when the chicks
were five to six weeks old. In such
cases the door was opened and the
hen given her liberty. She generally
abandoned her brood and reported for
duty in the ranks of the layers. The
chicks, after few hours of forlorn
and bewildered peeping, accepted the
situation and proceeded to scratch for
themselves, and invariably returned
to the coop every night for shelter.
The door was left open all the time
for them, and as soon as they were
fledged two fiat perches were fixed in
the coop, which they occupied until
old enough to take their places in the
roosting house. Of course, it is neces-
sary to remove the coop to fresh sit
uation every few days and to spray the
inside with gasoline occasionally.
At the end of the season the coops
were all picked up, cleaned and stored
in the loft of a wagon shed ready for
service another year. With very little
care they will do good service for many
years.-George A. Martin, in N. Y.

A letter from an enterprising
young man in the country announces
that he is sending some violets tied
in punches, and he requests that the
postmaster give one bunch to each
lady distributor and to tell her at
the same time that he is in the violet
business and can furnish them in flu
ture at the rate of five cents bunch.
1t is quite likely that the author of
