though in height they are not far behind.
They are naturally quick, very indus
trious, will pick up most of their living
if allowed to forage. They do not grow
old and worthless as many of the larger
or less sprightly birds. At five years the
hens are good layers, better than most Of
breeds at two or three years. Once in
five years is often enough to hatch and
replenish the stock. They are gaining
in popularity every day.

What is a Fair Hatch?

Mr.. Editor-What do you consider q fair
hatch; or what is the average number of chicks
that can be got from 100 eggs? We hear very
much about 95 and 9S per cent matches in incuba-
tors and 1 suppose that is exceptional case;
they can't do that several times running, can
they? 1 took off two hens yesterday, one hatch
ed IL chickens from Is eggs, and the other only
7; but the two together Matched 10, which 1 am
we'll satisfied with. D. E. S.
Lynnfeld, Mass.
We asked an incubator manufacturer
that question once, and his reply was,
substantially, like this:
"Fifty per cent of all the eggs set, TAX
ing the season through. You'll get bet
ter matches than that in April and May,
of course, very much better; but you'll
get poor ones earlier and later, and if
the average for the whole year (hatch-
ing season. is fifty per cent. of eggs set,
you should be satisfied" and we offer
that as, practically, our own opinion.
1t is the great matches that we hear
about. We are all glad to tell of those,
but few OF us are courageous enough to
set 1 900 eggs with the honest expecta-
ton of getting but 500 chickens. If one
matches wholly under hens, and con-
fines his Matching to the two best
months of April and May, he may go
considerably above that figure. We
set an even hundred hens ore year on
1,26O eggs (some on -, some 13), and
Matched out 819 or 500 chicks (almost
exactly two-thirds); but a couple of

How to Tell a Good Layer.

out Il good laying hen from strange
flock? We will venture to say there is
not many that can do it, yet it can be
easily accomplished after short study
Of the makeup and characteristics of
your own best layers. And this study
will pay any man big return who is
raising hens to lay eggs for market.
How can we tell them? Easily. There
goes hen with a thick neck, large head,
i'll shaped, walks listlessly about, seem
ingly with no purpose or intention in
view. She don't care to scratch, but
hangs around the hen house, evidently
waiting for her next meal. She gets up
late in the morning and goes to bed gem
orally early in the evening. You may
safely set that hen down as poor layer.
The fact is the eggs of some other hen
go to help pay her keep. Here comes
another hen. She walks fast and there
is an elasticity in her movements that
denotes she has something in view. She
is neat and natty in appearance, small
head, with slim neck, nicely arched or
curved. She fOrages and scratches all
day long, and may be too busy to come
up for her evening feed. She is at the
door in the morning waiting for you to
let her out. She snatches few mouth
fuls of feed and is off to the meadow
looking for tid-bits. Before she gets out
in the morning she generally deposits her
daily egg in the nest or else she returns
after short forage. She is neat, clean
and tidy, with brightness and freshness
pleasing to the eye. That is the hen
that pays for her feed and gives you a
good profit all the year round. We have
noticed these traits since boyhood, and
we know that they are infallible. By
studying these traits any man may in a
few years by selection have fine laying
flock Of hens. Fanciers, perforce must
have good and poor layers, as they breed
for fea theirs in the main and the poor
layer may be the bird with the fine plum
age and markings. This is not wholly
the case, of course, but it is partially so.
In this connection mention can be
made of the color of eggs. Take the
Plymouth Rock for instance. They do
not all lay rich brown egg, but some Of
them do, and by selecting the eggs of
these that do and selecting the chicks
from those hens that lay the desired
colored egg, it is possible for man in a
few years to have a good laying flock of
all brown eggs. When cross is needed,
it is most desirable' to have a cOckerel
from hen laying brown eggs. Here is
where the trouble arises, but it can be
easily overcome if several poultry men
would pursue the course of grading up
their flocks for brown eggs as spoken OF
above. Cockerels can then be easily pro-
duced one from another. These subjects
are worthy Of substantial consideration,
and they both point to a better filled
purse and more satisfaction and enjoy
ment, for who is there that does not love
a good laying hen, with her merry cackle
and brown eggs. We leave the facts for
you to demonstrate.-Poul News.

as all along it's coasts and upon it's nu-
merOus islands are found fowls possessing
the same general characteristics, not
uniform, it is true, in size or feather,
mere mOngrels, many of them, from the
fanciers point of view, but in their di-
versity manifesting the indubitable Span
ish type in SO marked degree as to ire
sstibly suggest a common origin. Many
of the names by which they are known
also point to both a common and Medi-
terranean origin.
The high combs, long, pendulous wat
ties and prolonged and excessive mouths
Of these fowls, are all Indicative of an
origin under milder skies and more eQui-
table climes than our much vaunted New
England, or any similar northern coun-
try. If the doctrine Of ''the survival Of
the fittest" deserves any consideration, if
environment has any power to affect the
organizations of living creatures, then,
surely, immense combs and wattleS would
not be prOpa gated and long mouths would
not be undergone in northern ATTITUDES.
The severe frosts would trim down the
combs and shorten the wattles and those
specimens having the smallest append
ages Of this character would be the most
likely to be preserved. The long and eX-
haustive mouths which the black Spanish
undergoes would render the fowl utterly
untitled to survive the severity of a north
ern winter We are now speaking of ma
tural conditions. Under the care of man,
protected by warm houses and abund-
antly fed with nourishing food sheltered
from the storms and the cruel blasts, the
Spanish fowls are able not only to exist
but to preserve their towering combs and
pendulOus wattles from the attacks Of
frosts and cold. But sometimes, even
under these highly artificial conditions,
where the best of care is given, sudden
cold wave leaps down with unexpected
severity and the proud Spanish is shOrn
of his glory by the cutting edges Of Jack
FrOsts shears, as many fancier knows
only too well, and to his sorrow.-Ameri-

Spanish or Mediterranean Glass.

Under this term is grouped large
class of fowls possessing many character
istics in common, although separated by
well defined boundaries. That they pos
sess a common origin, an attentive
observer cannot doubt. The white faced
black Spanish, the red-faced MinOrca,
the blue Andalusian, the Ancona and the
various classes of Leghorns, have re
markable resemblance in symmetry,
style, carriage, comb, laying qualities and
an absence Of the incubating instinct.
While, therefore, we might justly claim
