Wliat 'this adds up to depends on the current cost of feed btit îe au go as high as 30 cents a dozeni or even higher. If grain is home- grown it will, of course, bring the cost of feeding dowu cousiderabiy and so will large amounts of green feed, if available. Mortality of stock is another big item and will amount to between two and tliree cents on each dozen eggs. This figure is based ou from 15 to 20 hens dieing during the year out of each- 100. This is a cost item whicli varies greatly and one which1 can be reduiced by good manage ment. Strict culling is possby h simplest wa'y of kecpinigitow while good stock and proper s-anP;- tary conditions are aLlso,,importanL. Although a lot of people forget or neglect to do so, interest on money invested, taxes and insurance should always be taken into con- sideration, especially by those who mnake a business of egg producing. This item will accounit for between, three and four cents a dozen, ac- cording to those woshould know., Buildings and equipment will cost in the neigliborliood of a cent and a haîf per doDzen eggs, or thereabouts. This is maînly because of the necessity of, replacing worn- out equipment and making repairs to buildings.- It is slightly less tha'n this with good houses, more with buildings that are, just temporary. Labor costs, of course, vary with the locality and liow mucli "outside help" is required.
