saving in this article of diet is well
worth considering.
1t has always been a well-known
fact that a few hens will produce a
greater amount of profit than larger
flocks, and also that each hen will
lay larger number of eggs when
kept in small flock than when run
ming with large humber of others
This fact has often been the cause
OF many failures in the poultry in
dustry, because unfortunately the
majority of persons figure that If the
profits on ten hens is ten dollars the
profits on a thousand hens will be a
thousand dollars. This delusion has
led many beginners upon the rocks
of disaster.
The average production from a
flock of ten hens Is about two and
one-half dozens of eggs each week
the leading egg laying contests in
various sections of the world This
estimate was taken from the latest
report sent out by the Connecticut
Agricultural College Experiment Sta
tion and comprises all of the popular
breeds of fowls. In these flocks
there are no male birds and it has
been proven that egg production has
not been curtailed by their absence.
For a small flock or hens the euuip-
ment need not be elaborate, but the
quarters should be comfortable and
placed in such position that there will
be plenty of sunlight and fresh air
always present. While a small run
is of great benefit to the birds, it is
not absolutely essential. Many small
flocks are kept in their laying house
the entire year, and if their quarters
are kept clean and sanitary there is
very little cause for complaint from
neighbors.
All fowls deligh. in. a variety of
diet. They will grow and thrive bet
ter, produce more eggs and keep in
better health and physical condition
For this reason table scraps with their
mixture of bread, meat and vegetables
make an ideal ration. 1t is surprising
how much of this food will be con-
sumed and relished by the hens.
Cereals. bread, pastry and crumbs
Will supply the necessary grain diet
in concentrated form, and will pro-
mote the formation of fat and muscle
which insures rapid growth, also fur
nishes bodily heat and an excess to-
ward the formation of eggs.
Tailings from steaks, roasts, chops
and other meats will supply elements
that are directly concerned with the

asking for his father.

formation of eggs, and nearly every
family will have enough of this form
of table waste to provide sufficient
animal food for small flock of fowls.
Small particles of bone are relished by
fowls, and bone is one of the best egg
producing foods known to poultry
men.
Milk in any form is highly nutri-
tious and forms an excellent egg-pro-
ducing diet. When there is sour milk,
put it on the back OF the stove and
allow it to come to clabbered state,
after which it may be fed to the hens.
Sour milk is more than a food for
fowls; it acts as a tonic, and keeps
the system in a generally healthy
condition.
Green foods is the natural tonic
for fowls. and where they are allowed
free range they eat large quantities
of grass, clover and weeds. Table
scraps furnish ample green food. in
the form of cabbage, celery beet-tops,
potato parings and fruit. They help
to digest the more concentrated foods
of grain and meat. Besides being ap-
petizing green food is a great regu-
lator and will keep the fowls at their
best during the period of heavy egg
production.
An excellent method of feeding
table scraps is to run the various
articles through a meat chopper and
feed them in the form of a warm
mash. especially in cold weather.
Boiled potatoes and other vegetables
with scraps of meat and bread will
form a well-balanced ration, from
which large supply of eggs is al
most certain to result.
Grit is essential to the diet of the
fowls, and it is surprising how much
the flock will consume in one day.
1t acts as teeth for the birds by grind
ing their food in the gizzard.
Broken dishes. eggshells and oyster
shells may be pounded into fine par
ticles and kept before the flock at all
times. Sifted coal ashes is still an
other form of grit, and besides act
ing as grit, it supplies a portion Of
the lime for the formation of egg
shells. AS dust bath there is moth
ing more suitable than sifted coal
ashes. The fowls Use this method of
cleansing their body and keeping it
free from vermin.

Perhaps it is true, as so many men
affirm, that women are a mass of in
consistencies.
a This feminine popularity may ac-
count for the subconscious chagrin
that Agnes Morley felt as day after
day passed and Philip Hale kept the
place that she had ordered him to
keep.
So strenuously did he obey her
mandates that, unless he and she were
brought face to face-as occasionally
happened when she was coming in or
going out-he appeared unaware of

He did not acknowledge TO himself
that he had an idea-common to older
men than he-that to seem to ignore
woman increases her desire to be
noticed.
Agnes, on her part, decided that
Philip could not care much for her
or he would not find it so easy to treat
her cavalierly. And the recollection
that she was not his social equal was
like a canker in her mind.

Small Flock Of Hens Will Help
to Reduce the High Cost of
Living
Convert This Waste Into a
Daily Supply Of Fresh Eggs
BY NJ. l.. Chapman
Judge, Breeder and Writer


Profitable poultry keeping is not
confined to the large commercial egg
farms nor to the person who is stu
ated on a large tract of land. Small
flocks kept in the backyard and fed
mostly table scraps are a profitable
investment and will keep the family
supplied with fresh eggs and an oc-
casional chicken dinner.
One of the most serious problems
that, confront the poultry keeper is
the high cost of feeding stuff. All
than they have been for years and as
these grains form the larger por-
tion of the feeding ration on the big
poultry plants it requires skillful man
agement to make a profit in egg pro-
duction.
With the small flock, which is US
ually kept in the backyard, these eX-
pensive foods are mostly eliminated.
What is usually thrown away, in the
forms of table scraps, may be used for
the bulk. of the food for the fowls.
OF recent years it has become a SER
ious problem for housekeepers to re-
duce the cost of living without low
ering its standard. The small poultry
flock offers exceptional advantages

Convert Waste Into Eggs
Strictly fresh eggs at certain sea-
sons of the year are a luxury to those
who are compelled to go into the mar
kets for their supply. Very often,
even after paying excessively high
prices, there is disappointment in the
quality received. The home poultry
flock insures an abundance of fresh
eggs for the ordinary needs of the
family, and when the eggs can be pro-
duced by feeding table scraps, the
