200 Eggs 

 a Year 

 per Hen 



HOW TO GET THEM 



''FHE sixth edition of the book, "200 Eees a Year 

 -L per Hen. ' ' is now ready. Revised, enlarged, and 

 in part rewritten, 9G paires. Contains amoniz other 

 thluL's the method of feedinii by which Mr. S. D. Fox, 

 of Wolfboro, N. H., won the prize of $100 in gold of- 

 fered by the manufacturers of a well-known condition 

 powder for the best e^g record duriut,' the winter 

 months, Simple as a. b. c — and yetwe fruaranteeitto 

 start hfns to layinc earlier and to induce them to lay 

 more ei^tjs than any other method under the sun. Th€ 

 book also contains recipe for e^tr food and tonic used 

 by Mr. Fox, which brought him in one winter day 6b 

 ecES from 72 hens; and for flvedaysiu succession from 

 the same flock 64 et^trs a day. Mr. F. F. Chamberlain 

 of Wolfboro. N. H., says: "By followini: the methods 

 outlined in your book i obtained 1,400 etrus from 01 

 R. I. Reds in the month of January, 1902." From 

 14 pullets picked at random out of a farmer's flock 

 the author got 2,999 eggs in one year— an average of 

 over 214 etrirs apiece. It has been my ambition in 

 writing ' 'L'OO Eggs a Year per Hen' ' to make it the 

 standard book oh eptr production and profits in pooltry. 

 Tells all there is to know, and tella it in a plain com- 

 mon-sense way.

nan and Pride of Michigan. The best 

 among this list and the one that produces 

 the most and richest pollen is the Pride of 

 Michigan. 



3. The double-hedge row when fully 

 formed should be about twelve inches 

 wide from outer edge of plants. The 

 plants should stand about six or eight 

 incher apart. 



4. The Dunlap is one of the very 

 best bisexual varieties ever introduced, 

 and seems to do equally well in all 

 localities. 



J. T., Mexico, Ind. I did not get to clean up 

 one of my strawberry patches till quite late — 

 about the middle of August. I then mowed 

 them close to the ground, narrowed the rows 

 and cultivated thoroughly. They soon put 

 on new foliage and looked fine but sent out 

 few runners. About the middle of October 

 they began to bloom and have continued to 

 the present time and are now (November 

 15) covered with bloom, although we have 

 had several freezes. I fear they are ruined 

 for next year's crop. 



The reason your plants did not make 

 more runners was that you did not get 

 them prepared for the second crop until 

 so late in the season. Their blooming in 

 the fall will not injure the crop for next 

 season. 



G. R. P., Lawrence, Mich. Where and for 

 what price can I obtain nitrate of soda, mu- 

 riate of potash and bone meah' 



2. Is the bone meal the same as is used for 

 poultry food? 



3. Should not the ground be made quite 

 rich and plants set 24 inches apart for the 

 Klondike? 



4. Does the Pride of Michigan require rich 

 ground? 



5. Will the Gandy do well in this locality? 

 Have sandy loam that was in potatoes in 1906 

 and have very little manure to give it. Are 

 they as profitable a variety as Aroma and are 

 they later? Would the Oregon Iron Clad 

 every fourth row pollenize them? Is the Iron 

 Clad a heavy bearer and good shipper, and do 

 they require much manure, and are they as late 

 or later than the Gandy? 



6. Is the Parsons' Beauty a good shipper? 



7. How early in April is it safe and advis- 

 able to commence setting of plants? 



8. Are pistillates heavier bearers than bi- 

 sexuals? 



Nitrate of soda, muriate of potash and 

 bone meal may be purchased of any ferti- 

 lizer factory. As he is nearest to you we 

 refer you to Colon C. Lillie, of Coopers- 

 viUe, Mich. The nitrate of soda will 

 cost about $3 per hundred; muriate of 

 potash, about $2.50 per hundred, and 

 bone meal about $1.25 a hundred pounds. 

 These are staple articles and all factories 

 should quote about the same prices. 



2. Bone meal used for fertilizer is 

 finer ground than that used for chicken
