During the seven succeeding days they lost per cent of what they weighed at the end of the fifth day, and during the next seven daj-s lost per cent of their weight on the twelfth day. One hundred infertile eggs will lose grams, or ounces, during the first five days; grams, or ounces during the next seven days; grams, or 10 82 ounces, during the next seven daj'S. PULLETS VS. HENS AS LAYERS RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS SHOWING THE RELATIVE VALUE OF HENS AND PULLETS FOR EGG PRODUCTION JAMES DRYDEN PROBABLY no question is of more importance in commercial poultry keeping than that of the value of the hen at different ages. Successful poultrymen, of course, understand that the hen does not improve with the keeping or with the training, as some men do. They fully realize that they can get no profit out of their business unless they renew their flock every two j-ears or at most every three years, but it is safe to s y that the vast majority of the iens of the country have reached the unprofitable age, or at any rate are of doubtful age, and it would be millions of dollars in the pockets of the keepers of poultry in the United States if they would at once kill off and market every hen that had not an unmistakable mark of being a spring chicken, and start new.
