200-E.gg Hen No Curiosity.
Instead of .sacrificing vigor for fe
cundity, the two qualities have been .«o
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 larking, fecundity also
will be lacking. The very foundation
upon which a flock of heavy egg pro
ducers is bullded Is vigor and stamina,
and without these heavy egg produc
tion is out of th< question Tile very
fact that a flock of liens are heavy
layers is indisputable proof that they
possess plenty of vigor. On the other
hand, however. It does not necessarily
follow that because hens are vigorous
and healthy they are extraordinary lav
er-. Not every vigorous In n 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 2<>n eggs

to lay a couple of dozen regs in a like
period, but. while it almost seem* a re

7 'he Growing Popularity of the
Black Orpington
By WALTER F. CORMISH.
For it long time the Buff variet'- was
the leading Orpington in this country.
I until a business man with a lot of
I money back of hint took to booming
the Whites with great success.
There is more or less criticism as to
the Blacks. Referring to color, I may
say there is a class of people who don't
like Black chickens. “For why?'' Do
th y suppose the skin is black, or the
meat'.' Or do they mean they don't like
black feathers? If the latter Ist the
case, the Black Orpington has any oth
er variety “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
but admire.
There is no other black chicken in
existence that I 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 to their regret
and with the result that they drop the
Whites and stick to the Blacks, al
though, on the other hand, some breed
ers are handling all three with suc
cess. I have seen Whites looking like
scrubs, the result of bit ds being y arded
in muddy runs with no grass Such
runs. If Impossible to improve. have lit
tle effect on the Black variety
For egg®, the Blacks still want to be
beaten. I have kept several varieties
in my time and nothing has come up to
their yield yet I have had visitors
come to my pktce who were thinking ,
of buying While Orpington eggff and
to satisfy their curiosity they dropped
sees to It that ’he gets both, if possi
ble A heavy layer reunites more food
than i moderate layer or a non-pro
ducer. as in addition to supplying the
needs of her body, she must consume
sufficient food to form the eggs she
lays.
Breeding and Feeding.
Breeding has a whole lot to do with
the vigor and vitality of a flock of
fowls more. In fact 'ban feeding I'n
tess the offspring of vigorous ances
tors. with good. r'ch. ted blood eovrs
ing through her veins, a vigorous hen is
tlm exception, and not the rule. The
game is true of all animal lift While
food and ex-reise -n i propel tare will
Increase and intensify the vigor ami
stamina of a flock of fowls these qual
ities must be inherent with them to a
great degree
The natural tendency of beat y egg
production is the strengthening of the
egg producing organs of the hen. pro
viding of course, that she is properly
fed and eared for o that these organs
may be proper y nourished. tine of
the immutable rules of Nature is to
strengthen the otgatts in all animal life
that most need strengthening apd tn
her wise distribution of the strength
deriv'd f out the food consumed, lite
organs that are used most are given
strength according to their needs. In
the human family the man who |-

IE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5. 1912.
In to look nt the 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 1s that where birds are
trap-nested and the best layers bred
from I have found not more than twen
ty per cent of the flock become broody.
I don’t want any one to think that
the Black Orpington is the only chick
en in the world no. not by any means.
There are other breeds which, If given
proper care and feed, will also turn out
good results, although T 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 I am acquainted the next best
to the Black Orpingtons in winter lay
ing qualities are the f.angshans.
I 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
a 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 hint his price for a
setting of eggs and found, to my sur
prise, he was charging more for them
than 1 was myself I have visited
places where they wanted $5 to S2O a
setting and $5 eggs were utility birds
with minor defects. The working class
of people like nice chickens and in very
few cases can they afford more than $2
or $3, and even then at a pinch; and it
Its only fair that they get the worth of
their money. When the chicken fever
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 fm
blooded chickens The Blacks are be
coming more popular every day They
ate bred by the millionaire and the mill
hand and they have come to stay.
Poultry Pickings
(live 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 chicks.
They ate better off a couple of feet un
der ground ami the balance of the flock
will do better
A good, fat hen will support a few
hundred lice all right for a while, but
she shouldn't be expected to lay any
eggs while doing it.
If there are pullets or cockerels in
some of the broods that grow faster
than the rest, mark and keep them for
breeders another ■season. In this way
you can build up the stamina of your
flock.
Exercise is good for both man and
fowl The poultryman .an get his by
spading up a patch in th. poultry yard
occasionally, and the fowls will in turn
get theirs by scratching in the fresh
earth for worms and bugs
Muggy days ate the worst for the
young .-hicks and the older fowls as
well On these days they should be
kept as quiet as possible and not com
pelled to ' hustle'' for their food. Keep
cool water before them all the time.
A write: in an exchange ridicules the
Idea of poke-root being a remedy for
chicken eho'era We have never tried
it ourselves, but have no reason to
doubt the word ot those who hav, and
who claim to have cured the disease
with it Let oynie of thus, who doubt
its efficiency try it should they he so
unfortunate as to got the disease in
th.-ir flock 1 it fails to cure o allay
th. disease, then will b< time enough
to condemn it.

Success With Poultry—ls It an
Endowment?
How many times are we asked the question: Do you think I
can make a success of poultry raising? Can I keep 3.000 hens
Bn
RJ MA-EtSHA-D-L
inake poultry raising on a large scale a success.
Os course anyone can keep a few hens in the hack 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. lie would be a
mighty poor stick if he couldn’t.
But put this grocery keeper in
a big city store with a dozen
clerks to manage and a hundred
and one things to keep amov
ing. where would he be in a
month's time? In the insane
asylum. About so with the av
erage man turned loose with two
or three thousand laying hens to
look after.
How long do you suppose he could
keep them laying? I imagine it would
not he long before a good many of
them would be laid to their everlasting
rest. i
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 whethe- 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. But
our advice a- 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 foci that you are built along
careful, painstaking linos, ready to test
different methods to a finish, profiting
by the results; with a backbone built
of sections of 1 grit and bulldog tenacity,
you are the one for the place. Make
your salt 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, 3.000. You must not expect you:
3.000, however, to give you as goo,l an
average as your first 50 did
Did you ever stop to think as you
looked over the scores of different
breeds of fine,
sees at the poultry shows, where they
came from, or rathet 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 <» and so on. until we now have
over 100, all told.'" They never came
by chance, not one of them. They rep
resent years of careful, plodding, hard,
scientific work in the breeding No
such a thing as "fail" ever entered the
heads of the poultrymen who were bent
on producing c»"’ain points in egg p;.-
duetion, in tine form, tine feather.- and
so on If you are willing to devote th
best vou hav, in the cause, working
along the conservative lines lie e indi
cated. 1 believe y ou will succeed, and I
believe it is the on v safe way to get
tliei e.
The "get-r . h-qui, k route Is always
strewn m ■ •< or less with wrecks of tile
we -i one,lent, specially 'he fellows
who belie,, they have found a sho’.’i
■ ut that tn, one ever 'bought of before.
These things Im t th,- business more
'than we can tell
from the start?
i Xot all of us have the gift of foresight, the
understanding, the grit and withal the courage
Ito 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 he attained. It only proves
that we have applied the wrong methods or
the proper methods have been carelessly ap
plied. There is Kjways 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. Can I 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
t~~ -
Feed For Fanciers
. i
Hawks take fewer chickens than
1 carelessness and neglect.
I always feed some kind of fresh
meat if insects can not be picked up.
> For worms in chickens I have found
nothing better than surphuric acid in
! the drinking water.
Pure-bred stock pays even though
' you only raise to the market. The
young chicks mature quickly and the
1 hens lay well.
I Nature is all right. You give the hen
t the right material and she will turn out
I 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.
s In taking a record of 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 the entry is made in the book.
1 and all eggs are valued at market
i 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
i 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 nen house and
. scatter some grain in the litter, and as
soon as it is light enough for the hens
, to see thev are working hard at the Ut
ter.
