Buvinu PuIIeta-

mark that they can buy the stock of
pullets wanted much more cheapIy
than they can raise them. But II the
pullets are slow to lay. and lay but
few eggs finally, it were far cheaper
to have them raised at home from
carefully selected stock, even at great
er expense. for we want eggs, not
food consumers.
