Hens Pay if They Lay.

What is more aggravating than the
refusal of the biddy to lay when eggs
are high?
The poultryman oftentimes sputters
and scolds and proposes to live on
poultry until every hen is eaten, for
getting that the biddy always does her
duty when she is supplied with the
necessary ingredients for producing
eggs. She likes TO lay and then talk
about it after she has done the job,
but che does not like to work when
she is cold, chilly and poorly supplied
with warm stimulating food. If she
could speak good English, she would
tell you that she would like few ra-
tions each week of green cut bone
and meat; that she would like warm,
clean home to live ina home with
plenty of sunshine and southern ex-
posure. Carroll s. Page of Hyde PARK,

The efforts of certain misguided
poultry reformers to make hens lay
an egg every day for 365 consecutive
days is flying in the face of nature
and necessarily will prove abortive.
They must have time to moult and
recuperate or they will not be able to
produce at all. The hen or hens that
laid an egg every day would soon be
in the shape of the geese that are fat
tened to make the famous Strasburg
pies. When the process is finished
they have been turned entirely into
liver and it is diseased liver at that.
