THE YARD.

Regularity is the keynote of success.
Comfort brings health and productive
ness.
Study the art of egg production rather
than that of egg preservation.
Surplus stock, drones and unhealthy
fowls are leaks which tell upon the
profits.
France believes a hen is more valuable
as a meat and egg producer than a grow
er of fine feathers.
Better lose in satisfying a disgruntled
customer, than to have him cry his COM
plant on the highways.
One breed is enough, as a rule. Thor
oughly to learn and test a breed will re-
quire an ordinary lifetime.
The business hen is one bred for tho
production of a good supply of eggs and
meat, and not for fuss and feathers.
We hear very little nowadays about
allowing hens to mix their own rations.
The fact is, few creatures on the farm
can do that successfully. We must
study the hens and then feed according
to the light of experimentation Jour
nal.

Hen Profits.

A farmer in the Berkshire hills calcu-
lated on a profit of three dollars a year
on every hen. He matches the chickens
in April, which is the best month in the
year in which to hatch medium-sized
breeds. He makes production of cost
for market the foundation of profit and
strives to have eggs to sell in Novem-
Der and December. He carries but few
old hens over winter, relying on the pull
lets for winter laying. This friend OF
mine claims to have averaged ITO eggs
each hen yearly, producing eggs at a
cost of not far from ten cents a Dozen
