per fowl. That is true. It is also
true that 144 eggs per fowl is not
phenomenal, The right kind of
hens, properly attended, should av-
erage 160, and well-bred hens con-
siderably more. The average farm
flock will not average 120, probab-
ly not 100.
In the above experiments all the
food eaten was paid for at market
prices, and the cost averaged only
66 cents per hen. The cost would
have been only 80 cents if the wheat
had cost 90 cents per bushel. The
farmer, however, who keeps fifty
or a hundred hens can do better
than that, for on the average farm
that number of hens may be kept

WHY RAISE HOGS?
There are a number of reasons
why it does actually pay to raise
hogs. He multiplies rapidly and
matures quickly. The pig requires
little feed to produce a pound of
meat and the market hog is worth
good money, cured or fresh. The
hog does not require herding and
can build up 80 per cent. of his
emoaoip.k.set weight on grass and forage
He is naturally a healthy animal
and his only business is to repro.
due and turn feed into meat,
There is no need to worry over
the dual-purpose hog. You don't
have to consider if it is best to raise
him for meat or for milk, neither
do you have to worry over the ques-
tion svhother it is meat or eggs, or
meat and bristles.. The hog is
raised for meat alone, and when
you are driving one crop to mar-
ket another one ought to be well
on its way to marketable condition
and weight,
WHEAT STRAW BEST BEDDING

successful breeders are emphatic in
their assertion that wheat straw is
the only proper straw to be used
as bedding for young pigs. Thie
