How Old Should Hens Be Kept?

The age to which a hen may be
kept and still be profitable as an
egg producer Is determined largely
by the bird. have owned hens that
were not more than two or three
years old that were by no means
profitable egg producers, while 9TH
ers were good layers at three and
four years OF age. | especially no.
ticed a Brown Leghorn hen which
laid eggs from early spring till late
fall the summer she was four years
old She did not stop laying more
than a week at a time, and much Of
the time she laid every day. When
considering the age to which a hen
is to be kept, the cost OF raising a
hen up to the time she begins to lay
should be considered. This cost is
distributed over as many years as
the hen is kept and 1t is evident
that with a hen kept three years the
first cost will be only one-third OF
the hen kept only one year. Hens
cannot be expected to produce eggs
a whole year without stopping, and
they eat the year round, but grown
hen does not require the careful at
tention when not laying that q
young chick does. UNCLE 10.

them, though most people come and
take it from the honey house at my
home. There is nothing else so easy
to sell as good honey.
Bee keepers who have large guam
titles Of honey sometimes go to the
city with nice samples and canvass
for orders among grocery merchants
or directly with the consumers in
their homes. Some persons feel a
delicacy in doing what they call a
peddling business, but taking orders
for fine honey by sample is just as
respectable and business-like as to
take orders for drygoods or any 9TH
