A Pennsylvania Hen Record.— Mapes, 
the hen man, gives some hen records. I 
have two pens (75 hens) that laid 160 dozen 
eggs in three months, November, Decem¬ 
ber and January, at an average price of 
34 cents per dozen, or $51. The feed con¬ 
sisted of three quarts of wheat in morn¬ 
ing, six quarts of dry mash (com, wheat, 
oats and beef scrap) at noon and four 
quarts of corn at night. There were oyster 
shells, granulated bone, gravel, charcoal, 
ashes and dust before them all the time. 
The mash dishes are never empty. Table 
scraps were fed at noon, also clover hay. 
Water in milk pans fitted over an old po¬ 
tato crate, so litter could not be scratched 
into it. The feed cost or was worth 25 cents 
per day, or $23 for the 92 days. The mar¬ 
keting $10, leaving $18 for labor, also a 
quantity of valuable droppings and litter 
manure. The labor figured up to less than 
two days per month, leaving $3 per day for 
actual work, the manure fully paying for 
the straw, clover hay and table scraps. 
My hens are White Leghorn. The house is 
dry and comfortable, but quite cold, as 
there are frozen cockerel combs. The 
marketing was done on our regular trip to 
town. We sell our eggs to regular cus¬ 
tomers the year around; the price was still 
35 cents last week. We usually get a lit¬ 
tle more than market price when eggs are 
not too plenty or price too high. We sold 
all of our eggs during July at 25 cents per 
dozen. More profit in Summer eggs than 
Winter, but the rich peqple want eggs the 
whole year round. September and October 
are the hardest months to get eggs.
