EGG PRODUCTION
IN RELATION TO
rain
Unusual Prolificacy Does Not
Necessarily Cause Impair
ment of Breeding Quality.
By J. F SCHUREMAN.
We can see a tendency on the part of
some writers to set up the claim —by
intimation at lea«t—that the poultry
men of the countr' arc sacrificing vi
tality and vlgoi for fecundity, and that
tinlea« a check is put upon the prac
tice of breeding and feeding for heavy
egg product ion solely , dire results will
follow and strains of birds that are now |
famous as prolific layers will go
"bump," or words to that effect. Oui
private opinion, publicly expressed, is
that this argument is the far-fetched,
pessimistic cry of would-be "poultry
men" who either have been unsuccess
ful in developing strains of heavy lay
ers or else who do not know what they
are talking about, and while those ex
perienced in the breeding of poultry will
pass it by as unworthy' of notice, there
are thousands of amateur breeders who
might he influenced by’ such argument
unless Its utter fallaciousness is shown.
That there has been wonderful im
provement in the egg-producing pro
clivities of the domestic hen during the
last quarter of a century we all know.
Every one who has given the subject
any attention and study also knows that
the vitality and vigor of the hen—where
properly housed and cared for—have not
been impaired tn the least, although she
today Is producing several times as
many' eggs in a year as did her remote
ancestors.
200-Egg Hen No Curiosity.
Instead of sacrificing vigor for fe
cundity, the two qualities have been so
nicely and uniformly developed- each
keeping pace with the other—that the
natural result has been eggs, and then
more eggs, and vigor and more vigor,
until today the 200-egg hen is no longer
a curiosity. The fact of the matter is.
vigor and fecundity are twin qualities,
and if vigor is lacking, fecundity also
will he lacking The very foundation
upon which a flock of heavy egg pro
ducers Is builded is vigor and stamina,
and without these heavy egg produc
tion is out of the question. The very
fact that a flock of hens are heavy
layers is indisputable proof that they
possess plenty of vigor. On the other
hand, however. It does nrft necessarily
follow that because liens are vigorous
and healthy they are extraordinary lay
er- Not every vigorous hen possesses
the qualities of fecundity, but. without
an exception, every hen possessing the
quality of fecundity' Is vigorous and
healthy.
We must admit that It takes more
physical vigor for a hen to lay 200 eggs
In twelvi months than for the same hen
to lay a couple of dozen eggs in a like
period, but. while il almost seem« a re
pudiation of her own decrees. Nature
comes to the assistance of man in bis
efforts to develop a heavy laying st t ain
of fowls and make- it possible by sup
plying tin- neees-ir\ additional vigor
and vitality We all know that the
fowl in a natural stale lays only a
clutch or two of eggs during an entire
vear just enough to pe i < tuate her
species ind the--, aie laid al breeding
time in the spring. There is a reason
for this. Tiie maternal instinct pos
sessed by the !• nal< fowl of whatevei
kind prompts within her a desiie to
bring into the world young* of tier own
kind to perpetuate hei species. Thi;
is why out domestic hens become
broody at a certain season of the year,
at which tone they will guard their
egg.- a- eagerly and carefully as they
do tin Chicks after titey aie halt lied,
although at other times they pay prat •
tically no attention to the eggs they
lay or that may be in the nest
Coercing Nature.
In a wild siatt the fowls most of
which are mig- slot y simply lay enough
eggs for a hutch or two and t ten quit
Because this is trm the argument is
advanced that it is unnatural lor fowl?
of any kind to lay more than one or
two clutches ~f . gg- a year, add that
man has worked contrary io Nature in
developing onr domestic heavy laying
fowl. In a sense this may be true, and
in another sense it Is not true. It is
said that Naturt will not be coerced
Peril ips not, but it is either possible to
coerce hei or else she ; s mot e than

efforts to change her plans and meth

plant wizard, who during the last few
years has astounded the work! with his
. feats in changing the very natute o'
plant life ol * minus kind-s Has it been
coercion on the j u t of But bank, or
co-operation on the part of Nature.'
Undoubtedly the latter, and it she will

we may reasonably expect het to >o
operate w ith the poultry man In his ef
forts. though the work that he is tty
ing to accomplish is not exactly in lim

As a gem ral rule, the hen that lays
the most eggs is the most robust look

The Growing Popularity of the
Black Orpington
By WALTER F. CORMISH.
For a long time the Buff variety was
the Ipading Orpington in tills country,
until a business man with a lot of
money back of him took to booming
the Whites with greaU success.
There Is more or less criticism as to
the Blacks. Referring lo color. I may
say there is a class of peopl< who don't
like Black chickens. "For why?" Do
they suppose the skin is black, or tlx
meat? Or do they mean they don't like
black feathers? If the hitter is the
case, the Black Orpington lias any oth
er varfetj "beaten to a frazzle" for
color a nice deep black bird with a
beautiful green sheen which even those
who don't like black chickens can't help
hut admit' .
There Is no other black chicken in
existence that 1 know of that is gain
ing ground like the Black" Orpington,
and there are many reasons why.
They were the first originated and are
the easiest to breed to shape and to
obtain size; they seem more Inclined to
be tame than Whites or Buffs, as I
have seen Whites as wild as Leghorns.
I know people who were breeding
Blacks and thought they would take up
the Whites also much io their regret
and with the result that they drop the
Whites and stick to tl.i Blacks, al
though, on the otlu r hand, some breed
ers are handling all tjiree with suc
cess. 1 have seen Wiiites looking like
aiTubs. ilie resuit of birds being .'.aided
in muddy runs, with no gr. - Such
runs, if impossible to improve, have lit
tle effect on the Black variety
For eggs, the BUu !.s still want to lie
beaten. I have kept several Varieties

of buying White OrUngton eggg and

dmii as in addition to supply ing the
needs of her body, she must consume
sufficient food to form the eggs she
lays.
Breeding and Feeding.
Breeding lias a whole bit to do with
the vigor and vitality of a flock ot
fowls moie. in fact, than feeding I’ti
less the offspring of vigorous ances
tors. with good. rich, red blood r nurs
ing ihrough her vein . a vigorous In n is

food and exercise and i "op.ci care will
increase and intensify the vigor and
stamina of a flock of fowls, these qual
ities must be inherent with them to a
great degree
The natural tendency of heavy egg
production is the strengthening of the
egg producing' organs of the hen pro
viding. of course, that she is properly
fed and cared fol so that these organs
may tie proper y nourished. One of
the Immutable rules of Nature is to
strengthen the organs in all animal life
that most ne.-d strengthening, and in
hi i wise distribution of the strength
■li rived from the food consumed, the
organs tbit are used most at. given
strength ai cording to their needs In
the human family, the man who i«
employ, d at blacksmithing or heavy
lifting develops extraordinarily strong
muscles of the arms and back and the
; harder and more strenuous his w ork

I cause, first, he must have the strength

in to look at tho Black variety, with the
result on several occasions that they
went away with a setting of eggs “tic
kled to death” at the future prospects.
And another very important point in
the egg line is that where birds are
trap-nested and the best layers bred
from 1 have found not more than twen
ty per cent of the Hock become broody.
1 don't want any one to think that
the Black Orpington is the only chick
en in the world—no. not by any means.
I'm re are other breeds which, if given
prop, r care and feed, will also turn out
good results, although I want to make
plain that to my mind there is no other
variety of Orpington which has the
Blacks beaten on the egg line, espe
cially In winter. Around this section
where 1 am acquainted the next best
to the Black Orpingtons in winter lay
ing qualities are the Langshans.
1 know workingmen who have man
aged to buy a setting of eggs at half
price late in the season and have re
fused five times as much for one pullet
as the setting of eggs cost, although
they needed the money. There is such
n thing as overcharging for stock and
eggs. For - instance, one time I was
showing some birds and in the pullet
class won first and second and another
breeder in the same class won nothing.
There being one point about his birds I
liked, wrote asking him his price for a
j setting of eggs and found, to my sur
| prise, he was charging more for them
I than I was myself. I have visited
places where they wanted $5 to S2O a
setting and 15 eggs were utility birds
with minor defects. The working class
of people like nice chickens and in very
few oases can they afford more than $2
or and even then at a pinch; and it
is only fair that they get the worth of
their money. When the chicken fevel
gets settled on a man once, it's hard
to shake it off and he finds he can pinch
a whole lot to satisfy his thirst foi
blootled chickens. Trie. Blacks are be
coming more popular every day. They
are bred by the millionaire and the mill
hand and they have come to stay.
Poultry Pickings
Give the pullets a little extra care
and they will repay you when eggs are
bringing good prices next winter.
The drinking vessels should be thor
oughly cleansed by scalding once or
twice a week during hot weather.
Dispose of the sickly. puny chirks.
They are belter off a couple of feet un
der ground and the balance of the flock I
will do better.
A good, fat hen will support a few
hundred lice all right for a while, but
. she shouldn’t bo expected to lay any
' eggs w bile doing it.
If there are pullets or cockerels in
some of the broods that grow faster
I than the rest, mark and keep them for
breeders another season. In tlys way
you can build up the stamina of your
‘ ' flock.
Exercise is good for both man and
I fowl Tiie poultry man can get his by
spading up i patch in the poultry yard
occasionally, and thi fowls ip turn
get theirs by scratching in the fresh
eartli for worms and bugs.

Success With Poultry—ls It an
Endowment?
ITtnv many times are we asked the question: Do you think I
can make a success of poultry raising? Can I keep 3.000 hens
KJ M'AE*SHAL'L‘
make poultry raising on a large scale a success.
Os course anyone can keep a few hens in the back yard and
with Johnny’s help in feeding do very well with them. So can
almost anyone keep a grocery*
at the crossroads with no compe
tition within five miles and sell
some goods. tie would he a ]
mighty poor stick if he couldn't.
But put tliis grocery keeper in
a big city store with a dozen
clerks to manage and a hundred
and one things to keep a-mov
ing, where would he be in a
month's time? In the insane
asylum. About so with the av- i
erage man turned loose with two
or three thousand laying hens to I
look after.
How long ‘do you suppose he could |
keep them laying" I imagine it would
not be long before a good many of
them would be laid to their everlasting
rest.
It looks like a simple matter to care
for a lot of hens, but it is a mighty big
proposition unless one is fully ac
quainted with all the little ins and outs
of the work that go to make up the one
successful whole.
No one knows whether you will be
capable or not That is a problem you
will have to work out for yourself in
the same old school of experience. Bm
our advice as given for a good many
years has been to go slow. Do not
try to get your experience all in one
year. It costs too much. Do not try to
make history too fast. If, as I have
said, you feel that you are built along
careful, painstaking lines, ready to test
different, methods to a finish, profiting
by the results; with a backbone built
of section- of grit and bulldog tenacity,
you are the one for the place. Make
vour start with a few good hens —two
or three dozen, perhaps 100. not more.
Care for them well, test them and their
qualities to a finish If you succeed as
well as you expected, double the num
ber for the second year, and the next
until you get up to your coveted num
ber. 3,00'1. You must not expect yom
3,000. however, to give you as good an
average as your first 50 did. >
Did you ever stop to think as you
looked over the scores of different
breeds of tine, pure-bred chickens one
sees at the poultry shows, where they
came from, or rather how they came
about ? All have been developed from
the original jungle fowl as the fountain
head What work has been accom
plished! One new breed, then two.
th:ee and so on until we now have
over 100. all told. They never came
by chance, not one of them They rep- I

from the start?
Not al! of us have the erift of foresight, the
understanding, the grit and withal the courage
to succeed in this business. '
A failure after an effort or two in this line
does not prove that the desired end or point
sought after can not be attained. It only proves
that we have applied the wrong methods or
the proper methods have been carelessly ap
plied. There is always a just cause for a fail
ure. and if we would bring success out of fail
ure we must find the remedy and apply it to
the letter. As well ask the kuestion. (’an 1 make

Feed For Fanciers
Hawks take fewer chickens than
carelessness and neglect.
I always feed some kind of fresh
meat if insects can not be picked up.
For worms in chickens f have found
nothing - better than surphuric acid in
the diinking water.
Pure-bred stock pays even though
i you only raise for the market. The
j young chicks mature quickly and the
j hens lay well.
Nature is all right. You give the hen
the right material and she will turn out
plenty of results. Feed a sufficient sur
plus of natural egg-making food to en
able her to produce a surplus of eggs
beyond the natural supply.
In taking a record oif the hens give
them credit'for every egg laid. Each
night as the eggs are gathered, the
number is put down opposite the date
when tiie entry is made in the book,
and all eggs are valued at market
price.
There are no chickens more fine and
robust than those which are raised on
a farm, with ample - opportunity of
ranging over the fields and finding a
large portion of their own food in the
form of worms, insects, green leaves
and seeds.
Always keep hens scratching from
daylight until nightfall, and after they
go to roost go to the hen house and
scatter some grain in the litter, and as
soon as it is light enough for the hens
to see they are working hard at the lit
ter.
