How to Get Fertile Eggs.

This is a very important question to
every poultry man. The directions
given by a correspondent Of the Prac-
tical Farmer are SO good that we give
them now, though somewhat out Of
season If they seem valuable to you
file them away for future use.
The most profitable birds are the
early Matched chickens, because at ten
weeks the cockerels will bring IS cents
per pound in April Pullets, if from
bred-to-lay stock, will lay eggs in July
or August, when strictly fresh eggs
are scarce and sell readily at high
price with big profits. Hatch your
own eggs in January, February and
March, Reserve only the best pullets
from first two months; cockerels and
pullets in March Sell your eggs for
Matching in April, May and June, etc.
You will ask how to get fertile eggs
in these months. By careful attention
and thoughtfulness In January, Feb
ruary and March, when other work
is not SO pressing, you can give the
poultry more attention and reap your
pay for it, which otherwise would go
to waste. My eggs have tested high
in the oos by feeding and caring for
my stock thus. Give each hen about
ten square feet of floor space, fifteen
hens to a pen, with window facing the
south. Use two cockerels, changing
cockerels every two days. Feed
oyster shell, grit charcoal, cut clover
hay and best grade of beef
scrap in self-feed hoppers. Put straw
on floor one foot deep, in which feed
literally of any grain except corn,
which feed on very cold days; in warm
weather not more than twice a week.
Give fresh water daily; warm when
necessary; do not compel chickens to
drink ice water. Green food is abso-
lutely necessary, in the form of beets,
sugar beets, mangels, carrots, cabbage,
apples, etc. | feed celery waste. I
sell the hearts of the celery at good

A State Prison Offense.

Do any Of Our readers know the
law iii this state as to stealing chick
ems? We do not, but see no reason
why it should be any different from
stealing anything else. 1t seems that
1t is IN some states, as will be seen
from the following item from Green's
Fruit Grower:
We do not recommend guns for
chickens thieves, for the reason that
most men under such circumstances
are not as cool headed as they would
be were they hunting ducks, and are
liable to "shoot to kill" For the sake
Of defending a few chickens it would
be an awful thing to add murder to
ones life. Could man be cool and
shoot SO as to bag the game without
causing death it would be more toler-
able, but there is even then more or
less danger.
Iowa has a law which went into
effect July 1st making chicken thieving
penitentiary ofense and many who
stole once with a feeling that nothing
could be done will now engage in
other industries
The country telephone is a great
help in killing off the chicken thieves
vocation. When a suspicious char
acter is seen in a neighborhood, the
neighbors along the line can be mott
fed, and should one be detected there
can be a general chicken thief call''
on that line, which will call out all
the members in a short time.

Capons for Brooding Chicks.

A Louisiana correspondent Of the
Rural New Yorker says:
Did the Hope Farm man ever try
giving his incubator chicks to capons?
Capons will hover chicks as affection
ately as the best old mother hen he
has, and carry from One-third to half
as many more chicks. They will cluck,
scratch and fight for their brood, and
never wean them until the thicks quit
of their own accord. When the first
brood is old enough put capon in
coop with a new brood and in another
part of the yard, and the capon will
as readily care for the new brood as
he did his first. When your incubator
chicks are about old enough to take
out of the machine, about dark get
a box two feet square, about eight
inches deep, or deep enough SO that
the capOn cannot stand up when inside
with cover over top Of box; take capon
by the feet and whirl him around about
As or so times, which makes him
dizzy; Immediately put him in the box
with four or five little chicks under
him and cover box, making it dark,
and allow capon to sit there all night.
Next morning push cover back slight
ly to let in light and drop in little
feed If capon tries to call his chicks
and feed them he is all fight. Then
YOU can give him 80 or 40 chicks in
box, and leave him all the first day
and following night with entire brood,
and the following morning can move
capon and chicks to coop in yard. In
a day or two he will begin to c1uck
to his brood, and will ever afterwards
care for chicks as affectionately as
any old hen. Sometimes a capon when
starting them with broods will peck
at the chicks and not hover them
in case he does swing him again as
before and try him again. When you
have become accustomed to raising
chicks with incubator and capon you
will never again set another hen. l
never have any chicken mites in my
houses, and the only remedy | ever
use is to whitewash my chicken houses
about twice every summer, and keep
the houses clean. | have long since
concluded the brooders are a failure
with the small chicken raisers. They
2re all right if the plant is large
enough to Justify continual watching.

Summer and Fall Chicks.

What has been the experience of our
readers with little chicks in summer
and fall? Have you tried to raise them
after this time of the year, and if SO,
with what success?
We shall be very much obliged to our
readers if number will answer this
question. Do not wait for your neigh
Dor to answer, but send in an account
of your experience. What we want
is results, not theories, whether the
result was failure or success is not i'm
portant. What were your surround
lngs, did the chicks have grass and
shade? There is no doubt that late
fall chicks would be very profitable, if
a reasonable percentage can be raised.
Let us hear from you at once and to
save time send all poultry articles di-
rect to Switzerland, Fla We wish to
know in each case whether you used
an incubator and brOOder or Matched
and raised with hens.

Helping Chicks out of the Shell.

| wish to tell the readers of the
Agricultural Epitomist how I helped
out the chicks that cannot get out Of
the shell owing to the tough coating
over the head The remedy is very
simple. Have a small bottle Of olive
oil, pour drop or two on the opening.
Spread the oil around the shell with
the finger; tenderly remove little of
the shell, pour out drop or two
more of oil; remove a little of the
shell and SO on until the shell is off
over the chicks head Now, remove
the coating of the chicks head, pour
III a few drops of oil around the cav
ity between the chick and the shell,
put the chick under the hen twelve
hours, and he will be as spry and
active as those that got out of the
shell themselves. If you take the chick
out of the shell without using oil you
break an artery and it bleeds to death:

Cure for Sorehead.
Editor Poultry Department:

badly every one of them standing
drawn up out of shape and looking
as if they would die in spite of every
thing I had done and out Of shear des-
peration applied "Tetterine ointment
| rubbed it we'll on the head after
they had gone to roost-they could
scarcely see to get to the coop-the
next morning they came out as lively as
one could wish but [ treated them for
three nights and that was the last of
sorehead on our place. l felt so thank
ful that I had found something to
cure the dreaded disease that [ had
it put in Our local papers and others
have just as good results as [ had.
Ii those who are troubled with jig
ger heas will mix ashes with tobacco
dust and throw it into the coop and
all around it they need not be troubled
with them. We enjoy reading the Agri
culturist very much.
