Keeping Hens Profitably 
UCCESS in keeping chickens is only 
in proportion to the amount of care 
the hens receive.. During cold weather 
mine are housed in a part of the stable where 
the air is not too warm, which has been 
partitioned off from the rest of the building. 
In the summer they are at large in a strip 
of woods near the house. Their feed con- 
sists of oats, wheat, buckwheat and corn, 
given to them in a deep litter of forest leaves; 
and a mash of warm milk, corn meal or 
chopped bran and middlings, mixed to a 
crumbly consistency, to which a little salt 
has been added, is given three times a week. 
I have a bone grinder and also give the hens 
cut green bone three times a week. Be 
sure that the bones are perfectly fresh. 
Cabbage is used for greens and clover heads 
and leaves cut fine and steamed are also 
excellent. 
My flock originally numbered twelve 
White and Barred Plymouth Rocks, but 
on the first pf July I sold five. During the 
year I got the following number of eggs 
for which I received amounts as given below: 
January . 0 - 194 eggs, $4.85 
February .- : = 1a 3.15 
March : 2 Sub verona 6.70 
April 3 : ES Onis 3-92 
May : Pe ecto ty Deis 
June - : E oe. 1.6%

August 5 2 : Bal «90 
September . A a Bole 62 
October . 0 : Bis 64 
November . 5 2 hig 1.05 
December .- : C aA 1.0G 
During the year I got 1,378 eggs, giving 
an average of 138 eggs per hen. I set 76 
eggs, hatched 55 chicks, of which I success- 
fully raised 48. I realized $31.43 from the 
sale of fowls and $30.09 from eggs, and the 
following year had 12 hens and 2 cockerels. 
Feed cost me $9.35, and deducting all minor 
expenses my net profit was $4.684 per hen. 
But in order to have such a result from a 
small flock of hens, regular care must be 
given to them, and they must never be Beg: 
lected in any way.
