THESE HENS SHOULD GO TO THE POT 



In the Hawkesbury Agricultural College competition the hen shown above laid only ten eggs 

 between April 1, 1913, and March 31, 1914. The hen below laid only twenty-three eggs in 

 the same period. Hens of this type should not be kept in a pen intended for egg produc- 

 tion. It is likely that their fatness shows they have kept all their nutrition for themselves, 

 while the lean hens on the opposite page have devoted much of their nutrition to producing 

 eggs. Photos from Agricultural Gazette. (Fig. 2.)
