MAKE THE HENS EAT MASH.

As soon as hot weather sets n, egg
production goes down and egg prices
90 up but that is all the more reason
why it pays to manage the hens to Sc
cure production during the summer
A number of our folks find it best to
shut the hens in the house until ten
O'Clock or noon because this forces
them to eat more mash and makes sure
that the eggs will be laid in the nests
This makes 1t much easier to gather
the eggs and makes 1t possible to man
