Eggs Every Day.

Some people say that you can't raise
chickens and garden on the same lot.
but Mr.. Bowden has proved that 1t can
be done and he has the figures to prove
it, Last November he bought T. pure
blood barred rock hens which he put
in an unused spot about 10 or II feet
square adjoining his pack lot, and ON
Christmas day he gathered II eggs,
and from the time the hens began to
lay he says he has never gathered less
than seven eggs nor more than Ii per
day. His family has had all the fresh
eggs they wanted and they haven't
bought an egg since that time. He
has kept an accurate account of all
the eggs he has gathered at the pre-
vailing price of eggs In the stores at
the time, and he has also kept al &C
count Of what he has paid out for feed,
for he had never believed that chick
ems would pay in the city, and he
wanted to know. According to Mr..
Bowden's figures. the eggs he has
gathered would have cost hing $40,G2
at the stores, and he has spent not
quite Sc for feed. so he figures his II
hens have netted him about $34 in about
five months. And this Is his first ex-
perience with poultry.
