For the first time accurate data was secured of third-year laying hens. Black Orpington and Langshans proved themselves the best thirdyear layers, returning a net profit of 6/ a bird. The Government expert' reports generally that though third-year layers do not become, unfruitful there is no ireason to doubt that , they become unprofitable.
