An AMes HEN MAKES GOOD.
"Fresh Eggs Every Day" II the Other
Iowa Hons viii Follow
Her Example.

Her Example.
A hen at the Iowa State College
poultry farm has laid 2SO eggs during
the past year. She isn't so very much
of a hen either-to look at. No feath-
cred legs nor ruffled topknot. Just q
plain ordinary Plymouth Rock hen.
But she was right there on the nest
23O days out OF the year. Two hum
dred and thirty fresh egg breakfasts
who wouldn't keep a hen for that?
Those 23O eggs weigh Sc pounds, or
more than eleven times as much as
the hen herself. At an average price
of 25 cents dozen for the eggs, the
hens work for the year amounted to
$4.75 Her feed cost a dollar and
a half. A net profit of 1925 a year
isn't so bad for q hen. Some men
don't do so very much more than
that. Four hundred hens like this
one would give q yearly profit of
$780, There are a great many men
in Iowa to whom a salary of that
size would look pretty big. 1t might
be hard to find four hundred mems
that would lay 230 eggs apiece dur
ing the year, but four hundred hens of
any kind scratching around in the
back yard would add right COM
Portable chunk to anyone's salary.
As a matter Of fact eggs from a
hen like this don't have to be sold
for Is cents a dozen. They are worth
that much apiece for Matching pur-
poses Cockerels out Of her are worth
$40 each, and are cheap at that.
When Iowa's 100000 hens get to
laying 200 eggs apiece every year, in
stead of 81 as at present, the cold
