POULTRY POINTERS. Here are a few ) vale s fer you, under the fecimal system. Though not exactly eor- sect, they are about what should be the case. Ten hens tm a house 10 by 16 fect are mough. _ The yard should be at least ten times as large as the floor of the house. Ten weeks from shell to market time allotted a chick. Ten cents per pound is about the aver- age price of hens in market for the whole year. Ten cents should feed achick ten weeks, and it should then weigh two pounds, if highly fed, the 10 cents covering the great- est abundance of food. Ten months in the year is usually the highest limit of time during which a hen will lay. Ten hens with one male is about the proportion. Ten quarts of corn or its cquivalent should i a hen ten weeks, if she is of a large breed, but ten quarts months is a fairer proportion. Tea pounds ts A good weight for males of the larger breeds, 1 year old. Ten eggs is the average number to each pound, Ten flocks, each consisting of ten hens, are enough for an acre. Ten chicks, when just hatched, weigh about one pound. Ten hens should lay about 1,000 eggs during the rear. This allows for some laying more than 100 eggs each, while others may not lay so many.—Poultry Ixeeper. is the in three TOWN TOPICS.
