Pireway Hen
II Years Old

A If year old White Leghorn
hen in the Pireway section Is
said to have laid about 1000
eggs during her career and at
this ripe old age is still going
strong.
The hen is owned by Miss Ell
enta Stanley who bought set
ting of eggs from Mrs. MOIlie
Stanley, of the same section. in
1912 and Matched the grand
mommy of White LeFhorns that
is still on Miss SANKEY'S farm.
At the usual laying age. the
White LcghOrn started turning
out production at the rate of
something like 800 eggs per
year. and she kept that up for
about ten years. In the last four
years she has produced about
$50 eggs year and an approx
mate grand total of some 1000
eggs.
Miss Stanley has so White
Lcghorn hens now that are a.
bout ready to start laying but
She certainly doesn't expect
them to live up to the standards
set by the grandmommy of the
flock.
