Now and then. a merchant will
get hold of aline of ‘goods that
he finds unprofitable. He. imme-|

diately drops them and puts his
capital. into something more sala:

ble and profitable. The. beginner.
in poultry work will find that
there are profitable and ‘unprofi-
table: “birda,, and he must pass
judgment: on them,: so- that. the
ledger may show a balance: on
the right side at the close. of the

The hen that lays but tew egg
is an unprofitable one and should
not be kept fora day. If you
are in a position’ to trap nest
your birds, the productiveness of
each individual will soon be dis-
covered.” ‘A hen’ to ‘be a. fair
producer should lay a dozen: errs
per month, ‘and if she does: better
than this she. may be considered
an extra good one. . This is count-
ing as an ‘average right through
the. year. Of course there will
be some nioriths- when she will
do. much. better than this and
then again there will be months
when the production will be very
low. ‘The hen that tays only now
and then, and is seldom seen on
the nest is ‘a’ loss to the owner.,
At the: present: price of grain,
only good producers should be
kept.» Even if you’ do ‘not use
