' A hen is more productive in pro- portion to her size than any animal on the farm. The average well fed hen will lay from 100 to 150 eggs in a year, each one of which will weigh two ounces or more, thus yielding in solid matter four times her own weinght in the twelve months. At the same rate of product, a cow would yield two tons ofccheese and butter in the same year, andfthis compari- son shows conspicuously the relative superiority of the hen over the cow. Moreover, in addition to her contri~ bution of eggs, she will rear :1 brood of ten or twelve chicks, and carexfor them until they are able to look af- ter _themselve:3, while the cow rears but one duplicate of herself yearly. If the hen fails in doing this; it is for want of her owner s care, and from '_t_horogi,gh mismanagement, which diverts success from her own well-meant and mo-therly care.

They were far enough down to warrant the use of four inch pipe. and the men were engaged in putting this size in place. A little over 600 feet had been lowered into the well 1 when the pipe suddenly began to come up of its own accord. One man was work- ing on top of the.G0 toot derrick, and he shouted to the others below: ' "What are you hoisting it for? They replied that they were not hoist- ing it. and the words were scarcely out of their months before there was the xnuflled sound or nn explosion and the. pipe shot into the air with terric force. About .300 feet of it was broken off and the remaining 300 feet forced into the air. Following the report a quantity of water was forced from the well, and aft er that came the oil. "l"Iu.

I It needs no argument to show that it requires good cows to secure a profit in duirying. Now cows are selected and maintained in many ( dairy herds. almost universally, on the E` judgment of the dairymnn. If a I cow pleases a man he takes and keeps her until her years of usefulness are l over. He does not inquire about her` record, as no records are kept. It! does not occur to the dairymm1.that ` there may be agreat difference in] the individuality of the herd thus; secured, a difference so great that some individuals only 7 will yield . :1 ;, profit and others will be kept at a 11 loss. If this question is .raised.,not` one dairyman in a thousand'tal;es the trouble to weigh and test the milk of each cow in order to s:1tisfactoril_v ! answer the question. Four years ago we secured a herdl of 25 cows. None of these cows hav-j ing records, they were purchased on! I the judgment of the men who selected them. A committee of Jersey breed-5 ers sent us four Jerseys. `In the same `i way three Guernseys and four Ayr- `shires were selected. The remainder` vl l of the herd were grades. Some were raised on the farm and others pur- chased. An accurate record was kept lof this herd. Each individualeow was ` charged with the food she consumed at market price, and in addition with `the cost or` labor expended in her, case.` Credit _\\'as given for the but-'; te.r produced and for the skimmilk.l The variation in the individualjty of] these cows was shown by the year s record. `In the production of mill; the ` range was from 8358 lbs, to 3141 lbs, 3 ; lr butter from; 509 lbs to 165 lbs, ini net.prof.i.t from $42.26 profit to $18.63; loss.
