can be easily filed away and referred to at any 

 time. 



A complete set of records, if accurately and 

 faithfuUy kept, will do away with the necessity 

 of keeping an elaborate set of books. 



The table on page 92 is an egg record for trap- 

 nested stock, and it should be posted in the pen 

 where the birds are kept. 



The table on page 93 is a feeding record and 

 should always be kept where exact records as 

 regards the cost of feeding and care are desired. 



The table on page 94 is a record showing cost 

 of egg production, profit, etc. 



The above is a combination of records I and II, 

 grouping them in such a way as to show at a 

 glance the exact egg yield, food consumed, selling 

 price, and profit per hen. 



The tables on pages 95 and 96 are a yearly 

 egg record showing number of hens and eggs laid 

 daily by each pen. This record should be posted 

 in the pen, and is especially desirable where only 

 the egg yield is kept. 



Note. — See incubation and brooder records, Exercises 

 Nos. 8 and 16.
