134 EGGS AND POULTRY 
FEED COST OF EGGS 
According to my books for many months, 
the cost of feeding, if all the feed has to be 
bought, is 9 to 10 cents a month a hen. I 
feel safe in figuring at this rate. It is the 
basis of the estimate made for keeping the 
200 hens as in the plan laid down in this book. 
I have had to cart all my feed seven miles 
from the station at a cost of Io cents a bag.
