rRAp NEST YOUR HENS.

The Oregon experiment station after
long and thorough experiments with
map nests declares that from % to 80
per cent OF hens In average i0cks dc
cot lay enough eggs 10 pay their board
We often blame the weather, the
feed or our human bungling when
hens don't lay. but IT'S sometimes the
hen.
She can't lay. It's not in her.
The Missouri and Storrs egg compe-
titions show up the hen aud the practi-
cal value OF the trap nest.
The hens at these contests are en-
tered In competition by poultrymen
who think they know q layer when
they see her. But the revelation OF
the trap nest has shown that mighty
few humans can pick layer and that
there Is no particular shape or type
that indicates good laying qualities so
far as our present knowledge goes. :"
That's what the Missouri bulletin
says, and results seem TO prove II.
We have before us photographs OF
thirty-two OF the hens that competed
at the Missouri contest.
There Is little difference In their APP
pearance, but their trap nest egg rec
ords show difference Of from 2sl
eggs clear down 10 seven.
One hen didn't lay all year.
The hen that laid onl! twenty eggs
looks just AS good as the one that won
the individual egg record with 2sl
egg record
Here appearances are certainly de
ceptiye. and really the only way to
catch the drones is TO trap nest them.
and the time to trap nest them Is from
the time they start 10 lay In October
or November TO April, for then is the
time that hen shows whether she's
profitable or not
Trap nests pay. Better buy or make
one

And soon your granddad cut swell
