Old-Fashioned Notions on Poultry
Raising That Have Been Exploded
Scientific Methods of Today
Have Upset Ant'qnateri Ideas
Single Comb Buff Orpingtons a
Famous English Utility Fowl
By Michael K. Boyer
Poultry Editor of The Farm Journal.
(Copyright, 1914, by The Eugene
McGuckin Co.)
Hundreds of pet theories of old
have been exploded by recent years of
experimentation and research. Many
poultry raisers recall the beliefs that
the position of the egg during setting
or the shape of the egg had a direct
connection with sex.
Such ideas date back to Roman days
hut through the centuries nature has
guarded her secrets jealously, and not
even today is one iota more known
about the subject than 2,000 years ago
except that man cannot influence or
fortell sex
The writer of the following article
has compiled some highly interesting
piatter on the subject.
The illustration shows the beautiful
ly feathered Single Comb Buff Or
pingtons.
During the thirty or more years
that I have been engaged in poultry
culture as a business, I have witness
ed the death of hundreds of pet theo
ries, such as the egg-type, the nest
egg, controlling sex in eggs, thunder
storms destroying hatches, the pres
ence of the male for egg production,
etc. In these days nothing could
have destroyed those theories hut
subsequent experimenting and inves
tigation have turned the pet ideas of
our forefathers into jokes.
I well remember a theory my father
held firmly to regarding the cause of
the gape worm. He was engaged in
poultry work on quite an extensive
scale, about 1870. He contended that
lice produced gapes. When a chick
was infested with vermin they grad
ually crawled up to trie head of the
bird, entered its nostrils, and got
down into the throat! This caused
the chick to gape—hence the name!
Another theory that is even hard to
down at the present day is the nest
egg. It has been contended for years,
and, as I said, still upheld by certain
classes, that unless t: ere are eggs in
a nest the hen will not lay. One old
lady once told me that the wav she
induces her hens to lay plentifully is
to put a half dozen china nest eggs
in the nest. Old Biddy, seeing the
collection, grows enthusiastic and
adds another, and so on. It was not
until the trap nest came into general
use that this theory began to totter.
Nest eggs are not used in trap nests,
and our phenomenal records all come
from trap-nested stock.
Male* Don’t Help Egg Laying.
An equally popular theory was that
the presence of the male is necessary
In the pen to encourage egg produc
tion. On some of the largest poultry
egg farms In the country no males are
kept, except In the breeding pens. Ii
the attentions of the male are neces
sary Tor egg laying these large farms
would have failed The mission of
the male is to fertilize and not make
eggs.
We have a theory today that Is
equally as bad as any Just mentioned,
namely, the theory that the color of
the shell indicates the richness of
the contents oT the egg. In some sec
tions the demand is heavy for brown
eggs, and in others for white eggs.
Kach champion will declare his choice
Is one of fine flavor. The truth Is.
nothing flavors the egg but food..
Would a brown egg laid by a hen that
had been feasting heavily on fish, or
onions, be superior to a white egg
laid by a hen that was given pure,
sound grain, and vice versa?
The egg-type theory received a se
vere knockout when the trap nest
?.ave the phenomenal record to a
"»hma hen, and subsequently to
irr's of the American class, and yet
the famous "egg-type” was a hen In
shape and style much of the Leghorn
order.

bred in England and in the American
colonies. They lay brown eggs The
hens become broody, sit and rear
chicks. Matured males weight from
eight to ten pounds and females from
six to seven pounds. They have white
skin and flesh, and excepting the
blacks and blues, which have dark
shanks and toes, the rest of the breed
For years there existed a theory
that in case a heavy thunder storm
arose, towards the end of a hatch, all
life in those eggs would be destroyed.
Repeated experiments proved that
such ideas were without foundation,
and one of the best tests I ever knew
happened while I was one year visit
ing poultry farms in New ' England.
A very heavy thunder storm and
lightning storm came up one after
noon. The thunder fairly shook the
buildings. Up in the hay loft a hen
had stolen a nest, and being very de
termined to set, the farmer had given
her some eggs. The hatch was about
due when this storm arose. The
lightning came dowm and struck the
barn, and within a short distance of
her tore off the weather boarding,
but, fortunately, did not set fire to
the building. After the storm was
over the farmer crept up to the loft,
expecting to find Biddy dead. Instead
she was peacefully setting on her egg*
and in a day or two afterwards
brought out a good hatch.
As to Broody Mated Hens.
There are still many who believe
that mated hens will become broody
before unmated ones. I have had oc
casion to watch this theory for th«
past ten years, and have found that
there is nothing to it. Each year we
have quite a number of hens unmat
ed. selling these eggs for table pur
poses. Carefully kept records show
that we get as many broodies from
our unmated flocks as we do from ou r
breeding pens. We have also learn
ed (we use trap nests) that the early
broodies are those that have given us
the heaviest egg production during
the winter months.
Another old theory is that the small
or “pigeon” sized eggs, is the last of
the litter. It was generally believed
that that particular hen had wound
up her laying for the season. On the
contrary, our records show that two
days after laying these eggs the nor
mal size is again produced. I remem
ber how some of the farmers looked
upon such eggs with suspicion. They
were declared "unlucky” and must not
be brought into the house. In order
to break the spell the command was
to throw them over the house chim
ney.
Anotner theory was that when the
egg is smooth on the end it will pro
duce a lullet, and when it had a zig
zag mark or quirl on one end it was
sure to produce a rooster. Repeated
experiments have proved that there
Is notning whatever in such a belief.
No Way to Foretell Sex.
There is no method known to fore
tell the sex of eggs, and yet this
theory dales back to the early ages.
Even Columella, the grand source of
poultry antiquity, wrote; "IT all males
Another version was that eggs
if ail females, set the rounded ones.”
Another version what that eggs
long and thin will produce cockerels
while the short, dumpy ones pullets.
Again, it used to be claimed that
eggs produced before noon are re
sponsible for a certain sex, while
those laid after noon will be of the
opposite gender. Also, many former
ly believed If the newly laid egg is at
once placed under Incubation it will
hatch a cockerel; but If held for
four or five days the result will be
a pullet.
Also the position of the eggs in the
nest determines the sex, aceording to
old notions Should the end of the
egg point south the result will be a
pullet, and If to the north, a cockerel,
was another old fashioned Idea.
Ancient Roman writers asserted
that the round eggs produced fe
males. and the rest males, but Arls
toie believed the contrary to be tho
cage.

It Is needless to add, that even

theory, not one bit of it has to date

S»gHT WEIGHT
Year’s Service Has Not Suggested
One Single Mechanical Improvement
The Chandler enters into its second
season a tried and true car.
Everywhere, it has made good. So
good, that we have not found- nor has
any one of the hundreds of Chandler
owners found a single mechanical
weakness. Men marvel at its power,
Its flexibility, its economy.
We have not had to make a single
chassis change. The only change for
1914 i» in body design and in this we
have achieved the ultimate.
Here is a car that in its first season
met nothing but praise from the critical
men who paid their money for it and
expected great things of it. Not one
of these buyers was disappointed.
And why should the record of the
Chandler be otherwise.
Who build the Chandler ?
Men who had bean building the
highest grade six-cylinder cars for seven
years. Men who knew sixes. Men
who knew that a high grade, light
weight, economical six could be built
to sell at a low price. Men who were
competent to build such a car.
Why shouldn’t such men win out ?
Just because six-cylinder cars always
had been heavy, and high-priced and
expensive to run was no reason. Some
folks thought it was, but it wasn’t. We
have proved that it wasn’t.
The advent of the Chandler —in the
Spring of 1913—truly marked one of the
important Epochs of Motor History.
For here was a real six, built by a
group of men who knew sixes if any
group of men in the world knew.
It was a six that weighed only 2985
pounds completely equipped.
It was a stx that did anything that
any six could do, and did it economi
cally.
Still It told lot $1785.
