The theory that one must have male birds with the lieno in order to yet eggs is now pretty well eradicated, although n nil", pouitrymen in general do not pay very much attention to this, and let the roosters run with the hens ail the time. We can fay that it has no good eU'ects, for the very best results we liav*> ever gotten in the way of a large number of eggs in winter, was from hens, or pullets, rather, where there was no nml..; birds.

They will develop bullet', and can be fed according as is seen (It; while in the Hock they may or may not get what they should have. For table use the eggs are more desirable, and, taking all in all, we heartily recommend having the male birds in the flocks only during the breeding season,
