12 The Georgian’s Poultry and Live Stock Paore Edited by dodge F. J. MARSHALL 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 w illing to co-op. rate with man In his efforts to change her plans and meth ods. Look at Luther Burbank, the 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 co-operate w ith Bui bank in his Work 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 with her plans and methods As a gem ral rule, the hen that lays the most eggs is the most robust look ing hen in the flock, the most active and the greatest "rustler." She seems t<* know that the demands being made uptm b'-r require a strong constitution, with plenty of vlgoi. and as thes. at. accelerated by food and excreta., «h< LA TRIO OF HIGH-SCORING FANCY BIRDS | wWMrX t J, Bull’ (.’orliin bantam cock own White .Rock pullet owned by Buff Orj. rigton hen owned l»\ rd by John Low Smith.

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.

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 the stronger he becomes.

OCTOBER 5. 1912. 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.

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 resent years of careful, plodding, hard.; ntifle work in the breeding N" such a thing as fail" ever entered the I heads of the poultrymen w ho were bent . on pr 'during c- 'am points in ■gg p ■■ . duction.

' • 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 a success in the grocery business'? The Lord only knows until you try it. The person who is not possessed of the faculty for detail work, looking after the little things and working out matters in concrete form, I am fearful will not 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.
