MARK FOR EACH HEN

Ten eggs a month —60 during the next six months —should be the mark set by poultry keepers at this season for each hen in their flocks. Hens that cannot produce that standard should not-be kept. Poultry keepers who cannot reach it with ordinary good stock should quit and stop using valuable feed and time to little purpose. But no one should admit that he-cannot reach it until he is sure that he has failed after doing his part intelligently and conscientiously, and no one who faithfully follows the instructions in this article will fail to reach the very moderate standard of production demanded.
