killing on Old Hens.

After an experience of a dozen years
in poultry raising. all the way from
raising the mongrel of the barDyard
to raising thoroushbredS which sold
for enormous sums. the writer has
reached the conclusion that the idea
that the so-called old hen is a profit
less bird is not correct. At present
we have a large number Of tive-year-
old hens on the place, and the last
winter all but one Of them has laid
as many eggs as the pullets. and their
eggs were much larger. True it is
that their lives of usefulness are
nearly yer as egg producers. Il that
they will not bring much Of 4 price
in the carcass market. but they have
paid we'll enough to have kept them
even though their carcasseS do not
bring enough to pay for killing them.
While il is not advised that all the
hens be kept until they are five years
old. i. is claimed that there is too
much of this turning two and three
ycar-old hens into the market to make
room for puilets. Treat the hen as an
individual. If she lays as we'll or
better than the pullets, keep her for
laying. If she falls off perceptib]y
when she is in condition to lay, market
Ter. The same rule should be applied
to pullets. for there are many that Are
so POOR layers that their greatest value
is in the carcass market.
