SELECT HENS WITH RECORDS

. Laying Strains and Hatch From
Them-Presress Slow.

The hen as we have her today has
been developed very rapidly as an egg
producer. The jungle fowl from which
our laying hens have been developed
probably laid about two dozen eggs
year at most. Perhaps many only
raised one brood. Hens of anything
like good type and breeding today
may average 14O eggs a year. There
are, Of course. 20o-egg hens and few
that have made records much higher.
But these high records are by no
means common.
1t is said that a high average for a
pullet is $50 eggs a year, for a hen
140. But We must remember that
hens, like COWS. have their own indi.
viduality and 1t ls not easy to find q
flock Of high producers.
The way to increase the production
of eggs is to select pullets or hens
with high records, mate them with
cockerels from good laying strains
and hatch from them. Even then, the
progress must be slow, for there is apt
to be a large per cent that will be
poor producers. But this is the only
safe way to raise hens that lay large
number Of eggs year.
