EGG PRODUCTION
IN RELATION TO
VITALITY
Unusual Prolificacy Does Not
Necessarily Cause Impair
ment of Breeding Quality.
By J. F. SCHUREMAN.
We can see a tendency on the part of
t ,,me writers to set tip 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 heavy
production solely, dire results will
follow and strains of birds that are now
famous as prolific layers will go
'bump.” or words to that effect. Our
jrlvate 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 wonde.rful 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 Hen No Curiosity.
Instead of sacrificing vigor for fe
cundity. the two qualities have been so
niCy 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'2oo-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 builded is vigor and stamina,
tnd without these heavy egg produc?
;■->!> is out of the question. The very
fai-t that a flock of hens are heavy
■vers is indisputable proof that they
possess p'enty of vigor. On the other
and, however, it does not necessarily
follow that because hens are vigorous
id healthy they are extraordinary lay
■ i'-. Not every vigorous hen possesses
qualities of fecundity, but, without
ii 1 vception, every hen possessing the
■ • lit.v of fecundity is vigorous and
healthy.
We must admit that it takes more

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
■K
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 he 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 Iwo
or three thousand laying hens to
look after.
How long do you suppose he could
keep them laving? I imagine ft 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 win ther you will bo
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 arc 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,
(’are 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 ne*xt
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 s<> did.
Did you ever stop to think as you
looked over the scores of dlffe ent
breeds of fine, pure-bred chickens one
sees at the poultry snows, where thev
came from, or rather how they came
about? All have been developed from
the original jungle fowl as the fountain

Not all of ns 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 knestion. Can I make
