Taxation Value of Hens 
Have you any figures on tax appraisals 
which would show the average value at 
which hens are taxed in New York and 
New England? Also, have you figures on 
valuation of dairy cows, to show correct 
ratio between value of cows and hens in 
some town ? In this town cows are listed 
this year at $30. What would you con¬ 
sider a fair valuation for a flock of 2,500 
Leghorn hens of all ages up to four years 
under the same conditions, taking the $30 
valuation of dairy cows as basis of valua¬ 
tion? H. P. G. 
Dorset, Yt. 
We have found it next to impossible to 
obtain accurate figures on this subject. 
A few reports are given below: 
Here in Brookfield. Conn., dairy cows 
are this year assessed at $40 each, and 
my flock of Barred Rock hens at approx¬ 
imately $1 each. I do not know at what 
figures Leghorn hens are listed. Poultry 
to value of $25 exempt from taxation in 
this State. m. m. c. 
Connecticut. 
We have no experience along this line, 
as hens nor cows are not assessed in our 
community. As a personal opinion, if a 
cow were to be assessed at $30 it would 
seem to the writer that $1 would not be 
far from a correct assessment for an aver¬ 
age hen. j. M. chase. 
Orange Co., N. Y. 
Here in the town of Clarendon, Vt„ 
cows were listed at $30 to $40, hens of all 
ages at 50 cents each. Whether this 
would be a fair valuation for hens I am 
not prepared to say, ae I have not the 
necessary figures to base a valuation on. 
Rutland Co., Vt. A. N. P. 
Our average valuation on cows for 1924 
is $51, and hens are rated at $1.30 each. 
The town of Epsom claims, undisputed, 
to be the largest poultry town, for its 
population, in New England. We have a 
population of a little over 500, with ap¬ 
proximately 35,000 hens, 98 per cent of 
which are Rhode Island Reds. I think 
our valuation on hens is a little high, and 
that $1.20 on the heavy breeds and $1.10 
on Iveghorns would be nearer right. 
Would be interested to learn the average 
as you find it. We appraised all hens 
and males alike, regardless of size or con¬ 
dition, provided they were six months or 
over in age, which I, myself, do not ap¬ 
prove of. I believe some flocks should be 
appraised higher than others, according 
to their condition and breeding, w. u. w. 
Merrimack Co., N. H. 
I telephoned to one of our assessors for 
an accurate answer to your question in 
regard to the taxation value of hens and 
cows in my town, Newbury, Mass. His 
reply was as follows: “Hens, value $1 
each, regardless of breed, except hens for 
hpme use, if such hens are not more than 
25 in number. These home flocks are not 
assessed at all. Cows, value from $20 to 
$100 each, according to their worth and 
age.” We have Cuernsey cows which are 
easily worth $400 or $500 each, probably 
more. On the other hand, people in this 
town own animals that would not bring 
more than $25 at best. The Guernsey 
cows are valued at $100 each and the 
cheap cows at $20. I might also say that 
our rate of taxation per $1,000 has been 
for years only $10, until last year, when 
it leaped to $22, due to some special con¬ 
ditions which we were unable to avoid. 
Essex Co., Mass. h. s. 
In the town of Randolph, Vt., this year, 
hens are valued at $1 each. A person is 
allowed 20 free of tax. Fowls are listed 
at the age of four months and over, but 
as the work of listing is usually done 
about April 1, only mature birds are 
taxed. In regard 'to cows, animals are 
taxed at the age of four months and over, 
no exemption being allowed on any num¬ 
ber over four months old. This year they 
are valued at from $25 to $50, with aver¬ 
age from $40 to $50. These figures are 
for ordinary cows, registered stock being 
listed at 50 per cent above this figure. In 
considering either hens or cows, condition 
is the factor which determines the value, 
and not breed. 
In order to answer H. P. G., let us 
take an average of the average, so to 
speak, which will be $45 for cows not reg¬ 
istered. This is 50 per cent higher than 
in H. P. G.’s town; or, looking at it the 
other way, cows in his town are valued 
at one-third less than they are in this 
town. If hens are to be considered worth 
one-third less in Dorset, they will be 
worth 66 2/3 cents each. We get the 
same answer if we say in Randolph 45 
hens are valued the same as one cow. 
Take the same 45 hens in Dorset and 
they will be valued the same as one cow, 
or $30. This is a value of 66 2/3 «cents 
each. This makes a total value on 2,500 
hens $166,66 2/3. 
H. P. G. has brought up the question 
of “fair” valuation. I believe in all cases 
such as he mentions the “market” value 
should be considered; that is, the price 
the animal would bring if shipped to mar¬ 
ket for meat purposes. I have just talked 
with a dealer in cattle, and he tells me 
the average market value for cows is 
about $45, so you see our lister has hit it 
just about right. When it comes to hens, 
I think we have a little different proposi¬ 
tion. We shipped some Reds last March 
and they netted us just $1.32 each, and 
the market is about the same now as 
then, so that a valuation on medium and 
heavy breeds of $1 each is fair enough. I 
believe the average Leghorn shipped to 
market would net the shipper about 75 
cents each. On such a basis the Leghorn 
breeder in this town might feel he was 
being taxed too much, but on a basis of 
66 2/3 cents each, a breeder in Dorset 
would be treated very well. On the other 
hand, considering that II. P. G. has some 
four years old, he must have some pretty 
good birds, so he should not feel he is hit 
too heavily if he is taxed at $1 each. Fur¬ 
thermore, the higher, egg production real¬ 
ized from the Leghorn should more than 
offset the decrease in market value; in 
other words, the value of all breeds should 
be about the same. D. H. H.

EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
In answer to many questions about this egg- 
lay i nr, contest, the following facts are given: 
It is held at Storrs Postoffice in connection 
with the Connecticut Agricultural College. The 
contest begins November 1. There are 10 pul¬ 
lets iu each pen. All the birds receive uniform 
treatment. The houses are all alike, and the 
feed is the same for all. The contest continues 
for one year. The weekly records cover the 
number of eggs laid for each pen in the current 
week, and also the total number of eggs laid 
since the first of last November. The contest 
will end November 1. at which time these birds 
will be removed, and another set of pullets 
entered for the next year. 
Week ending June 11, 1924.
