The poultry business. and II we can in

for the poultry man. To show the
vast room there is for Improvement it
Is only necessary TO state that the av-
erage hen In the province of Ontario
does not produce more than 80 eggs
per year. Even at the experiment
stations the average per hen does not
exceed 100 eggs per year. The only
means of improving the Yield Is by q
careful selection OF The breeding stock
Al the experiment station in Maine
the average yield OF the whole flock
has been raised to 1874 eggs per hen.
This has been brought about by means
OF the trap nest, by which the indlvid-
ual records of the hens are obtained,
and then only those hens which come
up to their standard of production are
used as breeders. 4<
