and a half years old ; and sixty-five pullets hatched April 28th, 

 1913. 



Following on this page are the exact figures for feed 

 purchased. This feed was used to raise the young stock as 

 well as being fed for egg production. 



The writer will cheerfully admit some waste in feeding; 

 but, as an explanation, of this waste, he had to leave home 

 every morning (except Sunday) before seven a. m., and did 

 not return home again before seven-thirty p. m., and often not 

 before ten p. m. Under these circumstances, in order to make 

 the best production, he decided to provide an excess rather 

 than a shortage of feed — hence some waste. 



The detail records of the egg production and comments 

 on them will appear in the following pages :
