We know what terrible strain it is
upon the Constitutional yiyor OF d hen
TO produce - AAny as $50 to 200 eggs
in year. This most likely to be done
by pullets in fhcir irst year. and we
believe tim. ii these same pullcts
would be properly carol for and kept

Mncn IN ,c tantion IS given to Sc
citing .he a;3ck from which fias mloh
cows are grown than We recommenu for
producing a Is! in;s strain of poultry.
When the Time comes to hatch the
chicks in the spring, many OF us are
much to anxious to place the first eggs
we can lay uu- hands on under the hen
to b, Matched or iuto the incubator, as
MAJ be; bat If we would select in I'D
vance these heavy g-producing pull
lets OF the yea: before aud keep them
for the ucHt wiuter, we would be sur
prsed NJ the startling Increase of egg
yield that We would have as a result OF
such selection.
Pallets hotched from eggs that coma
from hons that only produce thirty. five
or forty eggs year do not Inherit the
laying instinct, rather would they in
herit the propensity OF the mother hens
not 10 lay 50 many eggs. While, on
the other hand, eggs from the contin-
uous aud large egg producers would
naturally become large egg PRODUCERS
thems selves.
That like will produce like is very
old saying. 1t is saying worthy Of
consideration in the poultry business.
Hens that are heavy egg producers are
more than likely to produce their own
kind, while hens that are poor egg pro-
ducers7 are doubly certain TO produce
thos less prolific than themselves.
Another feature OF vital importance is
the selection of male birds from the
hens that have been free egg producers
in line for several generations. If the
pro .,er amount OF attention is given 10
both of these necessary requirements,
people will find that tn, increased egg
production In their hockS will be SO
marked as to be beyond all expectations.
Hun lreds of people complain that their
poultry DOES not produce any eggs dur
ing the white. months, aud that they
lay so few eggs during the entire year
as to mako them Improbable as egg
producers; and while complaining oil
this kaown fact they will continue year
aft year to hatch their pullets from
the same hens that have never laid
enough eggs to pay for the corn they
eat. Then, again, many people will
read 10 their papers how poultry should
be kept, fed aad cared for, and pay nc
attention to it whatever, and yet expect
the hons to give them a profitable re-
turn 10 eggs,
