Last year (1912) we kept 150 brown Leghorn hens from which wc gathered 12,708 eggs (or 1,509 dozen) and sold 968 dozen at an average of cents per dozen, amounting to $162.14. Our neighbor from Garden township certainly must have found a much better market for her eggs than Leon pays, or sold quite an amount of them for setting purposes et a good round price. For the year 1911 we had 85 hens from which we gathered 10,850 egg" (or 904 dozen and 2 eggs) and sold doz6n at an average of 13.91 cents per dozen, amounting to $92.33. Our hens averaged about 128 eggs each, and at the average price for which they were sold would amout to $1.49 per hen.

For tho year 1912 our hens did not do so well, the average was about 85 eggs per ben, and at the price received would amount to about $1.18 each. Who will be next? j. nyjj Geo. Sanger. It will pay to get our prices on coal before buying.
