Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 188, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 August 1918 — HENS THAT HELP ENEMY. [ARTICLE]

HENS THAT HELP ENEMY.

Every hen that does not lay except for a little while in the spring consumes more than ?he produces. Such a hen not only does nothing toward winning the war, but actually aids the enemy. In times of peace and plenty the slacker hen might be tolerated, but she must be handled ruthlessly now. Go over your flock carefully and continuously. Eliminate until you have got rid of all except the good egg producers.
