Occasionally cough depends upon an

(By T. E. ORR.)
The writer has before him the rec
,rds Of farmer who sold eggs from
q flock Of eight hens to the amount
of 1913 per hen. all this within one
year; and besides. this bunch Of hens
each raised brood of chicks in sum-
mer time-seventy.five chicks coming
to maturity, and the profits on these
chicks above food cost was equal to
the income from the eggs. In other
words, the profits above food cost
from these eight hens was more than
$500 per hen.
OF course the best of care and at.
tention was given and Of course, these
eight hens were pure-bred-bred to do
that very thing, but all three products
were reckoned at regular market
prices, not fancy prices. This is the
lesson we desire to impress on our
farmers: Good breeding. good feed.
Ing. good care will give good profits.
Since the chemical analysis Of an
egg and of young roasting chicken
Is almost identical. we may say in the
outset that there is little difference
In feeding for eggs and feeding for
flesh.
An egg is about two-thirds water
one-eightn albumen, one.tenth lime
and one-twelfth fat. 1t is giving the
hen the proper raw materials at the
proper time that constitutes goot
feeding.
Hens suffer more from lack oil

any other cause. Even the hen al
liberty is often compelled to drink the
filthy water in the cow-tracks in the
barn yard or do without. Such sup
ply Of water will not produce many
eggs Of any kind. and none that are
good.

from all the grains. but especially FROM
the corn-the carbohydrate food.
Without giving exact details, the
writer would want his feed bins sc

bran, three bushels Of oats, two bush
els of wheat, one bushel fcorn. one
bushel of lean meat or beef scrap, one
bushel OF cut bone and one bushel o

IMPORTANCE OF

Fences are an important part OF the

condition It is easy to Judge OF the
habits and circumstances OF their

Time has brought about great
changes in the methods OF fencing the
farm, and the old time stump fence
and Virginia rail fence have gradually
given place to more modern devices
chiefly of wire manufacture. But the
wonder Is that hedges. which 80 long

are not in more general use In this
country. Doubtless the time will come
when their worth will be recognized
