Eggs Falling to Hatch.

Whenever eggs fail to hatch there is
some cause Tor the failure. II the male is
active, and the hens healthy, failure to
secure chicks is n very annoying matter,
but, MS rule, the difficulty may be traced to
the mode of feeding. There is tendency
to feed hens heavily, under the supposition
that the more feed the more eggs, and
such practice has caused an enormous
waste of feed and corresponding
diminution in the number of eggs. When
oyer-fed hens lay, they cannot be relied
upon for producing strong and vigorous
chicks. The eggs do not hatch well, sim.
ply because, though the hens may be in
good healthy condition, they are not in
proper breeding condition. This fact
should not be overlooked, for the breeding
hen demands special feeding and care. 60
