BIG (MUTING RECORD AT DUNDEE
As two or three items concerning the
egg-producing qualities of our hens have
appeared in the Oraphic within the last
year, perhaps the result qf ths year's
laying will be of interest to its readers.
We culled out all but the best layers in
the summer, marketing all that had not
reached the 130 mark by the first of
August. This left us a small but indust
rious flock of seven hens. Those produc
ed in e year, 1,276 eggs, an average of
1 96 6-7 to hen, four of them laying
more than 200 and the banner hen No
29 has a record of 234, seconded b
No. 28 with 210.
Wt had decided to nurket a certain
hen but finding a number of her eggs in
e stolen nest we kept her to the detrb
ment of the record for without her and
her 161 eggs we would have the much
coveted 200-egg flock. Roe Robison in
