The special bens compare favorable with domestic bens laying about four or five a week He feeds all his bens grit which is actually course sand This is used to manufacture the egg shell and helps the bens to digest their food They are also fed regular chicken food too It is not known which ben lays which color but each ben lays the same color ell the time When purchasing the hens the buyer must wait until the first lay to determine what color eggs he Is going to get He supposes if he took notice of which eggs be took from which chicken be would know who laid the green and who laid the blue

in the case of the northsouth line through Town and said this area had been exempted by the provincial Cabinet not having an environmental assessment hearing He emphasized by requiring confor mity
