We can see a tendency on the part of some writers to s>‘t up the claim by intimation at least that the poultry men of the country are sacrificing vi- i tallty and vigor for fecundity anti tliat I unlc -a check is put upon the prac- | tlce es breed ilia and feeding foi heavy > egg prod net ion e ly, *',.-*- result- will j follow and stud ns of birds (hat are now ' fam* u.« as prolific layers will go j "bur.ip," or words to that effect.

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 In twelve months than for the same hen to lay a couple of dozen regs in a like period, but. while it almost seem* a re pudiation of her own decrees Nautre comes to tin assistance of man in his efforts to develop a heavy laying strain of fowls and makes It possible by sup plying the necessary additional vigor and vitality We all know that the fowl in a natural “(ate lays only a clutch or two of eggs during an entire year just enough to perpetuate her species ind these are 'aid at breeding time In the spring. There is a reason for till-. The maternal instinct pos sessed In th'- female fowl ot w hatevet kind prompts within her a desire to bring into the world young of her own! kind- 10 perp* tuitte her -peeie.-- This I is why our domestic hens hecomr broody at a certain season of the year, at which time they will guard their eggs as eagerly and carefully as they do the * hicks ifter they aie hatched al.hough at other times they pay prac tically no attention to th' eggs they lav or that may be m the nest Coercing Nature. In a wild stat, the fowls most ot v hieh are niigratoi y simply '..y enough egg- for a hateo or two and th n quit Because this is tide, the argu 1 ent Is advanced that It is unnatural or sow li of any kind to lay more than on- or two dutches of egg- a year, ami that man has w nked contrary to Nature in developing our domestic heavy laying fowl. In a sense this may be true, and in anotin i sense it is not true. It is said that Nature will not be co* reed Perh ips not, but It is cither possible to coerce her 01 else she is more than willing to < i-operate with man In his efforts to change her plans and meth- 1 ods.

Bncou & Heyward. Guyton. G’a. \V. F. Fry, Birmingham, Ala. 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 |- employed at him ksmithing or heavy lifting deyelops extraordinarily strong museh sos the arms and back and the harder and more strenuous his work the stronger he becomes Why?

T’li< us. of these should be severely condemned 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. Edited by dodge F. d. MARSHALL 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.
