The Georgian’s Poultry and Live Stock Page Edted by dodge F. J. MARSHALL 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 i tysical vigor for a hen to lay 200 eggs m twelve months than for the same hen to lava couple of dozen eggs in a like Period, but. while it almost seems a re pudiation of her own decrees. Nature ■"ines to the assistance of man in his • : <>’ts to develop a heavy laying strain "f fowls and makes it possible by sup : ins the necessary additional vigor and vitality. We all know that the for. I in a natural state lays only a ut' or two of eggs during an entire yea; just enough to perpetuate her species—and these are laid at breeding ; ’me in the spring. There is a reason for this The maternal instinct pos •essed by the female fowl of whatever kind prompts within her a desire to >ng 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, ft which time they will guard their eggs as eagerly and carefully as they the chicks after they are hatched, tough at other times they pay prac i’flly no attention to the eggs they * or thSt may be in the nest. Coercing Nature. 1 a wild state the fowls—most of are migratory—simply lay enough ' sgs fo r a hatch or two and then quit ■ f ause this is true, the argument is need that it is unnatural for fowl* •' kind to lay more than one or lutehes of eggs a year, and that n worked contrary to Nature in 'ping our domestic heavy laying in a sense this may be true, and ' ■"tiler sense it is not true.

White Rock pullet owned by Bacon & Heyward. Guyton, Ga. 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 head What work has been accom plished! One new breed, then two. three and so on. until we now have] over 100, all told.

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.
