Early vs. Medium Hatching.

1t has been demonstrated by prac-
tical poultrymen time and again that
chicks hatched too early in the spring
do not thrive as readily nor grow so
well as those hatched when nature is
more mild and kindly towards them
If the breeding pens of birds are mated
up in the latter part of December or
January and fertile eggs are secured
nothing but the very best of artificial
means of bringing about the conditions
that effect good fertility in the spring.
will avail of results The average
poultry keeper tries to hatch too early
in the season and to secure fertile
eggs too near the dead of winter
Chicks hatched in April and May will
attain as much size as those hatcned
in March unless the very best of con-
ditions exist in the caring for the
earlier Matched birds. The average
poultry grower can set few hens iE
March and take off chicks the fore
part Of April and if they have good
dry quarters the April showers will not
bother them considerably. If the eggs
are set April /, however, the chicks
will come out in time to take advant-
age Of a season that is more favorable
for their growing. Leghorns hatched
in April will lay in October if they
are well cared for. Those hatched in
February will scarcely commence lay
ing before the first of October and it
costs in time and money twice as much
to care for them the first two mon his
than it does the later Matched chicks.
A good deal depends on the poultry
man or poultry woman as a feeder I
know of several poultry growers who
raise as large Wyandottes and Ply
mouth Rocks from their April and
May Matched broods as do others who
breed the same varieties, from broods
Matched in February and March Sue
cessful poultry growing depends more
on the man of woman behind the work
than it does on the breed that is
selected. The biggest half of the work
is in the feeding and care. This APP
piled intelligently to a good breed will
double CT TRIBE the receipts usually
earned by keeping ordinary barn-yard
fowls.

setting Hens Correctly.

One chicken man declares that there
is a science in setting hens. Any way
it is more or less work to set hen
properly and take care of her in man
ner that will help her to perform her
duty in good shape. No hen will set
well If she is forced to incubate her
eggs in a noisy place where she may be
disturbed by any other fowls or farm
animals Some years ago there was an
invention put on the market which
claimed to be a natural hen incubator
1t was nothing more nor less tnan
series of small nest boxes attached one
to the other and in front of each nest
box was a small yard. This was to be
set under tree on well sdralned
piece of ground and the nest was easily
gotten at and the hens could be taken
out and put in at will There was a
sliding door in front of the nest which
could be closed during the last day or
two of the Matching when the hen
would need to be kept on the nest to
keep the chicks warm and to keep her
from getting off when but few OF
them were hatched This was good
plan but we found it to be too expen-
sive to buy lumber for such device,
SO instead we used the small brood
coops and placed a hen in each one of
them and set the brood coop in shady
place and provided each hen with wa
ter and feed and couple of handfuls
of fine gravel for grit We secured for
each nest box, a duplicate box exactly
the same size which could be inverted
and placed over the hen on her nest
during the last day or two of Matching.
This was just as effective and as good
a scheme as the other and had the ad-
vantage of allowing the hens to be
placed each in a separate location, thus
reducing the danger of having hen
worry over the noise and disturbance
of another A hen must set peaceably
in order to do her work well. II she is
covered with lice and mites, for which
the nest boxes are good breeding places,
she will not perform her duty in a sat-
isfactory manner. When she COM
mences to set, give her thorough
busting with a good tobacco dust lice
powder and then in a few days repeat
the operation. Two or three days be-
fore Matching repeat the dustins again
and she will be thoroughly rid of all
lice and vermin Do not make the nests
for Matching in too dark location but
give them plenty of light and above all
see that they are quiet and unmoested

Health in the Flock.

A poultry man said TO me the other
day that he had just been to visit a
poultry plant where the fowls were
found to be exceedingly healthy. He
said that they looked so much different
from his that he noticed it Immediately
on going into the poultry house and
yards of the party he referred to-
About three or four weeks previous the
writer had also been through the same
flock and house ana yards and had no.

healthy There was no secret about
this good health of the inmates of the
yards and houses declared the owner
of them to the writer. He worked %
keep his fowls in fresh air and the
houses dry the year round Firstly,
noted that his chicks were started on
the right plan Each hen with a brood
of chicks had a small brood coop to
herself, this brood coop having d tight
floor and being so arranged that it was
easily cleaned. 1t was kept clean and
in front of it was a small attached
yard covered with netting to keep the
chicks in during the first week or two
when they were too small TO run out
and search for bugs and worms for
themselves Each one of these individ-
ual coops and yards was set under a
tree i'm the orchard which sloped south
and east. This is an ideal slope of
ground for poultry keeping. IT was the
first ground on this farm that was
warm in the spring The slope and it's
perfect drainage are To be taken into
account for this when we search for
me cause. After the chicks were
weaned from the hens these coops were
left in the same location and tho

From the LIST of January, 1907. TO the
10Th of March this year, Mrs. Herzogs
flock of about 140 hens laid 2,410 eggs
and she informs the writer that four
dozen Of these pnllets were not then
laying and that about twenty OF them
are not laying at yet They had been
hatched too late In 1906 to commence
their early laying this winter
The work that Mrs. Herzog has ac-
complished is nothing more than that
which may be done by any other wo-
men on the farm who has the inclinf-
tion to devote her spare time to the
breeding of good fowls.

1t is always interesting to learn of
the success of a woman who has made
go Of pure-bred poultry breeding.
Mrs. Emm ]. Herzog of Nebraska is
one of the type of women who has
taken up the breeding of poultry, COM
mencing in a small way and pushing
the work along until her business has
grown to be OF considerable import
ance.
Seven years ago Mrs Herzog pur-
chased her first setting of pure-bred
eggs from a breeder of Single Comb
Buff 0rpingtons back in Pennsylvania.
The price she paid was indeed large
for her, inasmuch as it was the first
time that she had ever purchased
pure-bred stock of any kind She paid
So III gold for the first fifteen eggs of
pure-bred Single Comb Buff Grping-
tons that were brought into her yards
but the results are that now she has
flock of something over one hundred
and fifty chickens which she is very
proud of and which many poultry
breeders ana enthusiasts 60 to visit.
Mrs. HerZog has been very fortunate
IN the selection Of a variety Of poultry
on which to spend her time and efforts.
The Orpingtons are now almost as we'll
known as the Plymouth Rocks
throughout the east and their pop-
ularity Is steadily extending westward
year by year The Orpington fowls
are large In size. the males weighing
from nine To twelve pounds each and
the females from seven to nine pounds.
They are excellent layers are vory

yards. Mrs. HerZog saw that the
great popularity of the Buff Orping-
tons was not going TO wane within Il
long term Of years so she pinned her
faith TO them and has made a great
success as a breeder Of Orpngtons in
there is as much difference between
the Orpingtons and the ordinary
fowls as there is between a finely
bred and gentle driving horse and
one that is vicious and unsafe, being
always on a bad behavior She makes
this assertion in view Of comment
which was made concerning the
domesticity of this most excellent
breed
The first poultry houses that Mrs
Herzog- built on her place were very
small and inexpensive. From year to
year the numbers of the fowls in her
pens have increased until now she has
three good houses The first is ten by
sixteen feet floor plan, the second ten
by thirty feet floor plan and the third
ten by twenty feet All have good
shingle roofs and are tight noored
They are in good locations. never be-
ing damp of floor or otherwise un-
sanitary for the fowls housed in them
The yards from these houses extend
number of birds kept in each breeding
and laying pen. TO the north of the
houses is another series Of Yards which
might be called small pastures be-
cause of their size and the excellent
forage provided fer the fowls in them
Attached to each house is a scratching
shed thirty feet long and eight feet
wide, where during cold, blustery
weather and rainy days the fowls can
scratch in the deep clean litter for
their grain, thus providing them
selves with good exercise and at the
same time being under cover All
houses and scratching pens have
southern exposures and are amply
lighted by larges windows which ad-
nit the sunlight to the floors of each
pen. There is goodly shade In the
yards and every convenience that can
be secured, which will aid in the sys-
tematic and facile care and work of
handling the birds in their pens
1T was with considerable temerity
that Mrs Herzog first exhibited her
birds in poultry show. 1t is no more
than natural that the first time out
with poultry at poultry show where
the competition is very keen and the
best breeders in the land have their
fowls on exhibition, that the amateur
or novice should be somewhat timid
and frightened when bringing birds in
to an exhibition, but Mrs Herzog
learned that the one secret of selling
pure-bred poultry was the test for
quality in the kecnest competition and
also the little interest which poultry
people knew OF. what she had in the
way Of good stock.
AT the Nebraska state poultry show
in 1906 she had some of her birds at
the exhibition here. They We're great

left at the top of the windows SO that
the temperature of the house could
nearly adjust itself with that outside
thus preventing frost from forming on
the walls. Breeding from good healthy
stock each year had more to do with
the general health of the flock than
could be estimated by the casual OBJ
server. Healthy, husky fowls are the
basis of successful utility poultry keep
ing or even fancy poultry breeding.
Good health and predisposition to it
are half the battle.
