C. Sheppard. Considerable of my time Is spent on the road ns traveling salesman for a wholesale manufacturing corn pnny. Turing my travels last winter through a number of states I uiadu Inquiries of poultrynten regarding amount of eggs their fowls were pro ducing, when eggs were selling for to to CO cents per doton. I found re ports varied. Some were getting a k,ood yield; some fair, and othere scarcely any. The ones getting a goccl yield were the ones who hal their birds in extra warm houses and took great pains in caring for their stock. They cocked much cf their teed nnd fed them warm mashes twice daily, adding "dope" to force egg production. The ones getting a small yield I found had their birds in less comfortable quarters, but took much pains with their teed, by mixing mashes and dopes. The ones get ting very few eggs generally had large flocks In comfortable quarters, but hadn't the time to fuss with their stock and cock them a meal twice a day. and mix up a hot mash doped with powders to force egg production. Almost any breed of fowls will lay when forced in this manner. It la ohjecUouable (or two reasons First, because it U in violation of the laws of nature, and thereby weakens the vitality of tho fowl. Second, be cause It takes too much time. Yon say what am I going to do? My re ply Is. get a breed that Will pro- dues eggs liberally tn cold weather, t^ider favorable conditions, without this extra care and work. It la the only way to get good returns, be cam ft Is not practical or profltablc fer Ihe man with the large utility flock to take such trouble In caring for Uls birds. 1 The winter months find me busy ,on tho road, when my chicken re- i quire the most attention. My flocks jure left tinder tho care of my faith 'ful servant. She is busy with he- household duties, but always find( -time to throw them grain three times ja day and seven days in the weak. , The morning and coon feeds con sist of mixed grain in litter, and wheat at night (occasionally corn during the cold weather.) I keep be fore tnem constantly in a bopp* r grit, oyster shell, charccal. bran and bee! scrap. A poultry judge with a wide ex- perlence called on me in December. He saw the large number of eggs In the nests. He advised me to stop them laying, as hj thought they would bo apt to “lay out" by hatching sea son. They had started in the fail, laid heavy through the winter and spring, and still continue their good work. I am getting these splendid results without dopes or mashes. If you have the right breed you can do the same. After having several breeds 1 have discarded all except Ing my handsome Anconaa. They have earned the proud distinction of being the greatest layers In poultry- dom. They mature early, lay when about flTe months old (sometimes at '4H). They lay almost lh« yw round only stopping a short period during 'moulting season. They lay a large white egg. Eggs as they run from [my imported stock weigh 1 to I 1-i pounds to the dosen. Milledgeville, Georgia# FERTILITY OF EGGS IMPORTANT MATTER Success in Poultry Work Can Only be Attained Through Good Eggs. WE L LL LEGAL HANKS Officials of the department of agri culture have been collecting data re garding the factors which affect the fertility of eggH, tde que3tlon having been carefully studied at a number of experiment stations in the United States and elsewhere. Too warm quarters for laying stock and overfeeding are commonly be lieved to exerciRe an unfavorable in fluence on egg fertility as well as does a cold season. The way eggs are handled or stored Is- also be lieved to nffect the proportion whlcp will'hatch, as will also the condition under which incubation occur*. The vigor and character of the pa rent slock and the length of time th; male bird has been with the flock ure also Important questions with re spect to egg fertility. At the out set it should be poluted out that fert ility and hatch-ability are not ue cessarily Identical. An egg may bo fertile and still thu germ does not have sufficient vital ity to produce a healthy chick un der tho ordinary conditions of Inc’j batlon. In a aerie; cf incubator ex periments at the Rhode Island sta tion, of 8,077 egga tested, 8.1 per cent wero found to be fertile, while only 46 per cent of the futile eggs, or 28.6 per cent, of the total number of cage, hatched under the conditions of tho tests. Tho various observations made while not entirely conclusive, indi cate that in order to secure fertile (gga, which will hatch, the laying stock must not be kept in very want quarters or overfed; the males must he kept with the hens continuously Mid that only eggs should be us >d which are produced after the mate has been with the hen several davr. Only the fowls from very vigorous parent stork and those known to pro duce a high percentage of fertile eggs, hens vary widely In this re spect. should be used; the hem should be allowed a rest after each laving period, while the eggs should be handled carefully, not subjected to extremes of temperature in stor age and used only when comparative ly fresh.—Texas Stockman ued Farm er.
