 March 1st, I added 9 hens to my flock, making 18 in all, 

 which I enter for premium. They layed in 

 March, 28 dozen eggs.

As a part of the 171 doz. eggs were set by myself, and the 

 balance sold for the same purpose at $1 per dozen, I have 

 averaged the market price at 20 cents. 



I also present two coops of Brahma Chickens, one coop of 

 Muscovy Ducks, one Egyptian Bantam.
