. Egg money, how to increase it; a book of complete and reliable information on the more profitable production of eggs on the city lot, the village acre and the farm . Some of the Coops and Yards Used on the Summer Egg Farm Describ- ed by R. G. Williams. are obtained which furnish sufficient animal food when the supply is adequate. At other times beef scraps are sup- plied. It is understood that fresh water, grit, charcoal and oyster shells are always before each flock. From these fowls a liberal egg yield is obtained all summer and the product is sorted and shipped to New Haven, Conn., where an average of 30 cents a dozen is received. When the writer visited the plant about September first, the price received was 32 cents. In the fall when the price is up and just before the hens begin to molt, selling is begun, and before the weather becomes too cold for the fowls to stay in the coops the last one has been shipped and the season's profits counted. A few are sold alive, but the bulk are dressed and shipped wherever the best prices can be obtained.
