Ohio Poultry Journal. The answer I would give is, that it depends partly on the man and partly on the hens. From my first year’s experience alone I would have called them an unmitigated nuisance. At the close of> the second year my opin ion was undecided; now I have come to the conclusion that, •'Of all the stock that’s raised by men, Most money's in the laying hen." Not including spring chickens, my flock consists of twenty-seven hens and two cocks. One of the cocks and two of the hens are Partridge Cochins, large eaters, and so far, small layers, so they increase the average cost of the flock and reduce the average returns. They are splendid specimens of the breed, and were imported from Scot land last year. The remainder of my flock are mostly white and brown Leghorns; twenty-four are laying, the others are raising chickens. After close observation I came to the con elusion that my hens gave the best results if fed at the rate of one quart of oats or buckwheat and one quart of wheat middlings, or an equivolent, to every ten birds, with plenty of grass and an abundance of clean water. They get no meat except what is in cluded in the table scraps, and I ought to say that these setaps are always considered equivolent to an equal bulk of middlings. That is, if there are enough of them for the hens, they get no middlings, the object being to give two quarts of feed each day to every ten birds. I think fresh, dean water, and a clealiness in the food generally, are of prime consequence if delicately flavored eggs are wanted. Now for the results. Last year my hens averaged ten dozen apiece, dur ing the time the record was kept, that is, up to September. They molted early and continued laying until Christmas day, when they stopped. No record was kept after September, but as my family had what eggs were needed ior domestic purposes, there can be no doubt that the hens layed twelve dozen each. The hen house did not prove warm enough, and the hens did not resume laying until the middle of March. In the last fort night of that month they gave fourteen dozen and five eggs; in April, thirty- eight dozen and one; in the first three weeks of May, thirty dozen, and they have done better since, but 1 have not the memorandum in my office. The question of profit and loss becomes very simple In the first place, if you want eggs only, keep hens that will lay them. Select them carefully, and if they will not lay twelve dozen eggs each in a year get rid of them. Esti mating on a basts of ten hens, we find that the product ought to be tao dozen, worth, at 15 cents a dozen, $18 The daily cost of feeding, is 2 cents, for one quart of oats and one quart of middlings. They can be bought for this, not just now, possibly, but I got them for that last year and expect to do so later this year. Two cents a day is $7.30 a year, which leaves $10.70, and it may be added that the eggs are worth more than 15 cents a dozen on an average the year through. In other words, my experience is that hens can be made to yield a profit 0/ $1 per head each year. I have not made any allowance for the time and interest on the money, but the time required for a small flock of hens is not worth con sidering. I do not think mine take five minutes out of each day. Of course things are arranged conven iently; there is nothing expensive nor elaborate. Any sort of man, on an off day, with a few bunches of lathes and a pound or two of nails could produce nil tbe “special features’’ of my hen , The old saying that “money makes the mare go’’—docs -not refer to tbe nightmare.—Ex.
