The Poultry Flock.

Reports recently gathered concerning 5,298 flocks of poultry show that the' average number of hens per flock is 107, as- compared with 146, in 1914. This information, which was obtained by an incubator manufacturer in the middle West, indicates that shortage of supply has been an important factor in producing present high prices for poultry and eggs.
