emergency cases and nearly all various
forms Of ailments can be treated far better
than in any homes. The hospitals not
only have trained nurses but everything In
the way of the latest scientific equipment
and conveniences for caring for the
injured and sick. The idea Of hospital
has changed greatly in the public MIND.
Formerly people felt misgivings and dread
on being taken to a hospital Now II Is
understood that these institutions are
havens Of refuge and help. and IN times
of illness people welcome the idea OF 60
Ing to hospital. with the assurances
that by doing SO they are taking the
right step toward getting back on thei'

in spite Of the fact that the price of feed
of every kind was the highest on record
During the year the hens laid 1854 eggs.
There was not one day during the entire
year when they did not lay at least two
eggs and the lowest number reached for
any month was 80 for December. The best
record was made in March when 525 eggs
were laid. The owner met with poor sue
cess in Matching chicken, only raising q
for the season.
The hens were Of two breeds, Plymouth
Rocks and Rhode Island Reds. They were
fed twice each day and given plenty OF
fresh water and oyster shell in the winter,
A few minutes each day is all that Is re-
Quired to attend to each flock of hens and
there is a good market for all the eggs not
eaten by the family.
During the months of April and May 40
dozen eggs were packed in jars for winter
