EGG PRODUCTION
IN RELATION ID
VITALITY
Unusual Prolificacy Does Not
Necessarily Cause Impair
ment of Breeding Quality.
By J. F, SCHUREMAN.
XV can sea a tendency on the part of
some writers to set up the claim—by
Intimation at least that the poultry
men of the country are sacrificing vi
tality and vigor for fecundity, and that
unless a check is put upon the prac
tice of breeding and feeding for heavj
egg production solely, dire results will
follow anti strains of birds that are now
famous as prolific layers will go
“bump," or words to that effect. Our
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 be 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 In the least, although she
today is producing several times as
many eggs in a year as did her remote
ancestors.
200-Egg Hon 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 be lacking The very foundation
upon which a flock of heavy egg pro
ducers Is btillded 1s 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 not necessarily
follow' that because hens are vigorous
and healthy they are extraordinary lay
ers. Not every vigorous hen possesses
the qualities of fecundity, but. whhout
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 twelve months than for the same hen
to lay a couple of dozen eggs in a like
period, but, while it almost seems a re
pudiation of her own decrees. Nature
comes to the assistance of man In bls
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 state lays only a
clutch or two of eggs during an entire
year—Just enough to perpetuate her
species—and these are laid at breeding
time In the spring. There. Is a reason
for this. The maternal Instinct pos
sessed by the female fowl of whatever
kind prompts within her a desire to
bring into the world young of her own
kind—to perpetuate her species. This
Is why our domestic hens become
broody at a certain season of the year,
at which time they will guard their
eggs as eagerly and carefully as they
do the chicks after they are hatched,
althoiigh at other times they pay prac
tically no attention to the eggs they
lay or that may be In the nest
Coercing Nature.
In a wild state the fowls most of
which are migratory —simply lay enough
eggs for a hatch or two and then quit
Because this is true, the argument is
advanced that it is unnatural for fowls
of any kind to lay more than one or
two clutches of eggs a year, and that
man has worked contrary to Nature In
developing our domestic heavy laying
fowl. In a sense this may be true, and
In another sense it is not true. It is
said that Nature will not be coerced
Perhaps not, but it is either possible to
coerce her or else she is more than
willing to co-operate with man In his
efforts to change her plans and meth
ods Look at Luther Burbank, th" j
plant wizard, who during the last few |
years has astounded the world with his (
feats in changing the very nature of i

coercion on the part of Burbank, or
co-operation on tin part of Nature’!
Undoubtedly the latter, and if she will!
co-operate with Burbank in his work!
we may reasonably expect h< r to co

The Growing Popularity of the
Thick Orpington
By WALTER F. CORMISH.
For a long time the Buff variety was
the leading Orpington in this country,
until a business man with a lot of
money hack of him took to booming
the Whites with great success.
There Is more or loss criticism as to
the Blacks. Referring to color. I may
say there is a class of people w ho don’t
like Black chickens. “For why?” Do
they suppose the skin is black, or the
meat? Or do they mean they don't like
black feathers? If the latter is 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 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 1
have seen Whites as wild as Leghorns.
I know people who wore 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 Whiles looking like
scrubs, the result of birds being yarded
In muddy runs, with no grass. Such
runs, if impossible to Improve, have lit
tle effect on the Black variety.
For eggs, the Blacks still want to be
beaten. 1 have kept several varieties
in my time and nothing has come up to
their yield yet. I have had visitors
come to my place who were thinking
of buying White Orpington eggs ami
to satisfy their curiosity they dropped
gees to it that she gets both, if possi
ble a heavy layer requires more food
than a moderate layer or a non-pro
dueer. 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, than feeding i'n
iess the offspring of vigorous ances
tors, with good, rich, red blood cours
ing through her veins, a vigorous hen is
the exception, and not the rule. The
same is true of all animal life. While
food and exercise and proper care will
increase and Intensify the vigor and
stamina of a flock of fowls, these qual
itles 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 eared for so that these organs
may be properly nourished one of
the immutable rules of Nature is to
strengthen the organs in all animal life
that most need st lengthening and in
.her wise distribution of the strength
derived from the food consumed, the
organs that are used most are given
strength according to their needs. In
the human family, the man who Is
employed at blacksmithing or heavy
lifting develops extraordinarily strong
muscles of the arms and back and the
harder and more strenuous his work
the stronger he becomes. Why” Be
cause. first, he must have the strength
In order to do his work, and, second,
constant use of his arms and back and
legs develops this needed strength in
these organs Nature looks after the
needs of all animals the same as she
dots the needs of man. and she doe.'-
nut overlook even the humble hen. but
strengthens her according to her needs
Tli - method-- employed by some potil
trymen to forte' egg production is an
entirely different question, and we are
free to say that w e belie ve these prac
tices detrimental to the guttural health
and vigor of th< hen- In fact, we be

breeding qualities ..f a flock by feeding

HIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
White Rock- pullet owned by
Bacon & Heyward, Guyton. Ga.
In to look at the Black variety, with the
result on several occasions that they
went away yvith 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 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 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 I am acquainted the next best
to the Black Orpingtons in winter lay
ing qualities are the Langshans.
I know workingmen tvho have man
aged to buy a setting of eggs at half
price late iii 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 him his price for a
setting of eggs and found, to my sur
prise. he was charging more for them
than I 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
Is 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 yvhole lot to satisfy his thirst fo>
blooded chickens. The Blacks are be
coming more popular every day. They
ire bred by the millionaire and the mil)
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
lyxlee a week during hot weather.
Dispose of the sickly, puny chicks.
They are better off a couple of feet un
der ground and the balance of the flock
yvlll 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
bleeders another season. In this yvay
you can build up the stamina of your
flock.
Exercise Is good for both man and
fowl The poultryman can get his by
spading up a patch in the poultry yard
m . asionally, and the fowls will in turn
get theirs by scratching in the fresh
earth for worms and bugs
Muggy” days are the worst for the
young chicks and the older fowls as
well. <>n these days they should be
kept as quiet as possible and not com
pelled to ■■hustle" for their food. Keep
cool waler before them all the time.
\ write- In an exchange ridicules the
idea of poke-root being a remedy for
chicken cholera. We have never tried
it ourselves, but have no reason to

who claim to have cured the disease

Its efficiency try It should they be so
unfortunate as to get the disease In

Success With Poultry—ls It an
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
KJ MAXxSBAX-T.
make 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. He 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 a-mov
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 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 -11 the little ins and outs
of the work that go to make up the one
successful yvhole.
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. But
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 sections of grit and bulldog tenacity,
you are the one for the place. Make
your 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, 3,000. You must not expect your
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 fine, 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.
three and so on until we now have
over 100, all told. They never came
by chance, not one of them. They rep
resent y ears 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 e-’"’ain points in egg pro
duction. in fine form, fine feathers and
so on if von are willing to devote thi
best you have in the cause, working
along the conservative lines here indi
cated, I believe you will succeed, and 1
believe it is the only safe way to get
there.
The "get - rich-quick” route is always
strewn more or less with w recks of the
ovet-confident. ■ specially the fellows

from the start?
Not all of us have the gift 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. 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
1 Hawks take fewer chickens than
j carelessness and neglect.
I always feed some kind of fresh
meat if insects can not be picked up.
l
■ For worms in chickens I have found
. nothing better than surphuric acid in
( the drinking water.
Pure-bred stock pays even though
1 you only- raise for the market. The
young chicks mature quickly and the
l hens lay well.
i Nature is all right. You give the hen
f 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
I beyond the natural supply.
, 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
1 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.
r 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.
