(By ]. L. JONES. Mechanical Engineer

1t Is not necessary to dwell on the
advantages Of using trap nests. The
primary object is to develop a heavy
laying strain. It has been found by
the use OF trap nests that the number
OF eggs laid per hen in an average
flock varies from 40 to 245. Without
using trap nests, the results from
such a flock would be uncertain and
probably unsatisfactory. 1t is the OBJ
