Fowls Do Not Lay 
My chickens do not lay at all. I feed 
ilieiu on sea'lllcli feed, also some well-rec¬ 
ommended laying' masli. and leavings of 
tile table, (hie bird I found dead in the 
morning, -which had appeared well the 
day before. Another lingered around sev¬ 
eral days. I gave it red pepper and fat, 
also castor oil. Its crop was hard as 
stone. The rest are all well, hut do not 
lay any eggs. There is a stonecutter’s 
yard adjoining our place. Could die noise 
of ilial interfere with them? I have 10 
so-called laying hens, hut get. one or two 
eggs a day ; some days none. They have 
all gained in weight sinee 1 have had 
them. A. w. 
If 10 hens that were well fed did not 
lay more lhan one or two eggs daily at 
this season of tile year. I should suspect, 
if I did not know their ago. that 1 had 
gotten hold of 10 pretty old fowls. The 
noise of a stone yard should not interfere 
with rgg production, li is possible, of 
course, that you do not feed them enough, 
but, as you say that they have gained 
weight sinee coining into your possession, 
I assume that they have all that they 
want to eat. If yon bought these fowls 
without Knowing their age. you may have 
secured some "layers” that have passed 
the laying age- M. R. h.
