Mrs. Newton Collected Almost 3,000 Eggs, June 5, 1923

Good Yield of Eggs. . . Mrs. W.G. Newton Has a Number of Smart Hens

Mrs. W.G. Newton, Oxford Route 6, has a flock of barnyard chickens. From a number of industrious hens she collected 2,891 eggs during the last five months.

There is nothing fancy about Mrs. Newton’s chickens. They are the kind that mother used to have, and they don’t crow or cackle quite as loud as the present day fancy fowl.
