uw c.vju-i imcui exienaou over a
penou ot two year?. The pen of Leg
horns having good grain laid more
eggs tho second year than the first;
while the other three pens fell off in
egg production for the second year.
r rom tue following records it will
be seen that for tho Cochins, whole
grain was best, and for Leghorns,
ground grain was the best:
The Coohins having ground grain
consumed an average of 3 4-10 ounces
of water-free food each per day, at a
cost of S102 1 15 per hen per year,
nu l averaged 41 J oggs weighing 95
4-10 ounces. For every pound of
oegs produced they consumed 13
pounds of water-free food at a cost of
17 1-7 cents, or 20 cents per dozen.
Cost of food per hen, $1.02 1-5 ; value
of eggs, "Scents; lost on each hen,
27 15 cents.
The Cochins having whole grain nte
nn nverage of 3 ounces a day, and
laid an average of 63 j eggs each. For
every pound of eggs produced they
ate 10 pounds of food costing 13 cents
19 4 -2 cents per dozen. Yearlv nnel
of food per hen, SI. 0,(1-3; value of
eggs laid, $1.05; proHt per hen,
nearly three cents.
The Leghorns having ground grain,
ate an average of 2 8-10 ounces food
per day and laid 93 eggs each, weigh
ing 194 1-07 ounces. For every
pound of eggs produced they nte 3 1-3
pounds of food costing seven cents
nearly 11 cents per dozen. Cost of
feeding each heu a jear, 54; cent ;
value of eggs laid, S1.33,i ; net profit
per heu, 4!)J cent.
The Leghorns fed oa whole prnin
ate an average of 3 ounces of food per
day, and produced 77 eggs each,
weighing 105 8 10 ounces. For one
pound of eggs produced they ato
C 1-12 pounds of food costing 8 1-12

Allowiug lor the cost of hatching

returned an average profit the first
