TO MAKE THE HENS LAY

If the hens don't lay, turn them
out and let them dig and hunt in the
ground for food, is the advice of 7. F
McGrew, in the Country Gentleman.
Bury small grain where they can find
it when they dig. This will induce
them to hunt, and while thus employ
ed they will find bugs and worms that
will quicken the production of eggs.
1t is we'll to follow this plan as soon
as the spade will turn the ground,
for it adds vigor and strength, to the
hens and insures strong. healthy
chicks. The lazy, idle hen is of no
use but to sit about, eat and grow
fat. If she will not work she will not
lay. If she will not lay. her life
should end, and her fat carcass grace
the table. You can rest assured that
the indolent hen is a nonproducer-
soon she becomes too fat to lay and
too tough to be eaten.

He figures it in this way, that after

what they produce in the way of

the country in general with what we

have increased in value.
He feels that land here is held far
