The Averaqe Hen.

The average American hen lays 66 eggs a year. As these are mostly laid when eggs are cheap, her earning ca pacity is probably not more than S1. Her feed. housing. care, etc, cost fully half cent day. or s1S2 a year. Therefore, 1t does not pay to keep av- craze hens for egg laying The mum Der of farmers who keep hens above the average is still increasing. No one has put himself on record as ia voring poor hens when good ones cost no more to keep.

So when Snring comes.

So when Spring comes, And sunshine comes again like an old smile And the fresh waters and awakened birds And budding woods await us shall be Prepared and we will go and think again, And all old loves shall come to us, but changed As some sweet thought which harsh word yelled before. Feeling God loves us, and all that errS Is a strange dream which death will dissipate,
