die in the shell, has been answered
by hundreds Of breeders, and almost
as many different reasons given for
it, many claiming they are absolutely
correct. We do not claim to know
it all, nor even half of it, for we
have not lived long enou gh. We
have, however, given this question
considerable thought, and have made
numerous experiments, with the hope
Of acquiring positive knowledge on
the subject. There are, of course,
other causes besides the one we call
your attention to, but we are conf
dent that the greatest trouble with
chicks maturing and dying in the
shell, is, weak parent stock. Whether
1t be your own or that Of your
neighbour If you have eggs from
strong, healthy, vigorous stock and
you operate your incubator correctly,
you will undoubtedly have successful
matches, and you will not be ready to
burn the incubator, quit the poultry
business and tell your friends there
is no money in it,
Not long since, a party who had
been in the poultry business for a
ollOll lllIle, lOllCtQ d1l dlllCle Ill SOlHe
poultry paper by a man of many
years experience. He wrote to him:
asking to what he attributed his sue
cess in Matching such large percent
ages. His reply was, "Healthy, Wig
orous breeding stock, properly mated
and properly taken care Of" That's
the secret IN nutshell.
Look over your stock, see if you
have stock fit to breed from, and if
not, buy stock or eggs from RESPONSE
bic breeders who charge you enough
to be able to supply good stock. You
cannot buy breeding stock for small
money. Pay the price and get the
best Then study your birds, work
with them, attend to their wants;
treat them right in every respect, and
you will be surprised at results.

perhaps none would recover sufficient
ly to ever be great, vigorous fowls.
If you want to succeed with fowls
you must look after little things, learn
to hear and understand the different
cries. They have about eight differ
ent peeps" One for hunger and an
other for fright; one for cold and one
for sorrow. Have you never seen Q
little chick stand and look around and
cry pitifully? He has lost his little
chum and will not stop till he finds
him. Yes, they have their little
chums and their little games and
sometimes their little fights, too
Learn to hear and understand their
cries and their wants, and you will
make a success of the chicken bust
ness.
But suppose I had hardened my
heart, turned on my pillow and gone
to sleep, leaving the chick to fare as
best he could, what would I have done
the next day. For one thing would
have felt provoked at myself, and then
I would have carefully looked over
the chicks until I found one that stay
ed under the hover, or up in corner
hunched up, or with his head down
acting sleepy. I would have taken
him right away from the others, put
him in warm box with bottle or
jar Of warm water, fed him some
bread and milk with some cayenne
pepper, and kept him for a day or
two and if he was not we'll then,
killed him. Never leave a dumpy
chick in with the others. Kill it or
keep it by itself. If you have several
you might put them under hen or
in another brooder but never leave
them with the others or all may be
infected. A cold, especially an inf1u-
enza cold, is very infectious. The
germs are communicated in the drink
ing water as we'll as by the breath,
and by the discharges of the nostrlls
and by the droppings. One sick, all
ing chick is little bit of poison, go
ing around poisoning the others TN,
Intentionally but surely.

Mosquitoes as Hen-Food.

"A New York man, William A..
Woodbury., has at last found a use
for the mosquito, the bane OF all the
suburbs of the metropolis, and he de-
clares that the much-maligned insect
should be cultivated instead Of eradl-
Gated.
The gentleman in question has a
summer home on Long Island where
the little pests-or blessings abound
in great numbers. One night he set
up a net with large opening and a
brilliant light at the small end. In
the morning the net was full Of mos
quitoes and other insects.
These he fed to the hens, and &C
cording to veracious chroniclers, the
fowls throve wonderfully on the food
and proceeded to lay eggs at furious
rate in order to show their apprecla-
ton
Mr.. Woodbury. estimates that he has
caught about a ton OF mosquitoes for
his hens and ducks since summer be-
gan, and he advises all farmers to go
in for his cheap brand Of hen food.
This information comes from met
ropolitan paper and is respectfully re-
ferred to the experts OF the Depart
ment OF Agriculture as a suitable topic

Are You Sure It's the Incubator?

Of course you use an incubator,
and equally of course, you do not
always get as good matches as you
would like. Do you feel as though
you would like to talk strongly to
the maker Or agent who sold you the
incubator? The following from the
Florida Poultry and Agricultural
Journal is worth reading and remem-
bering:
Before you consign the incubator
and the manufactured Of it to warm
er climate, Or at least wish you had
the man who sold it to you where
you could hand him few remarks
concerning the machine and the man
himself, think just a minute and see
if you are not at fault yourself, in
the quality of eggs you expected to
make that o5 per cent hatch from
There is always possibility of your
being wrong, no matter how much
you think otherwise.

Why Not Raise Poultry?

The editor of the Gainesville Sun,
asks this question and then proceeds
to give the reasons why he thinks it
would be we'll to go into this bust
ness. All that he says as to the re-
speciality and desirab1eness of the
poultry business, we heartily endorse.
We think, however, that he is mis-
taken as to the quantity of poultry
products which are brought into this
state. Some eggs are shipped in
from Georgia and Tennessee, and
probably few Chickens We do not
think that the importations of live
fowls, or dead ones either, for that
matter, are very heavy. Still it is
true that we ought to grow, not only
enough for Our own use, but large
quantities for shipment to other mar
kets No other state has as many
advantages for the poultry business
as Florida. In California they have
gone into it on large scale, and
those who are prudent and Use good
Judgment are making large profits,
yet we have many advantages over
that state.
It is just as honorable and respect
able business to raise poultry for
market as it is to produce any other
staple of the farm. The man who
dlversihes and converts the product
of his brain and labor into money
along the lines Of honest endeavor,
sets an example which is worthy Of
emulation by his neighbors.
At present high prices for these
products, the business presents an
inviting field and we hope that these
industries will be developed and
broadened to a much greater degree
in the future.
The price of an average hen in
the retail groceries at the present
time is o5 to IS cents, and we presume
the same prices hold good in all
other cities. Eggs are rs to 80 cents
per dozen and frying-size chickens
are from forty to sixty cents each
Most Of the poultry, eggs and butter
which come to the markets Of Our
large Southern cities to supply the
people are shipped from Northern
and Western states the same as our
corn, hay, beef and bacon. 1t is an
undeniable and irrefutable truth that
all Of these staple commodities and
necessary food supplies can be bet
ter raised in the South, especially
poultry.
Here is presented an opportunity
for diversi6cation on the farms of
the South which should no longer be
ignored, and it is decided reflection
upon the agricultural methods Of the
South that our border states should
be depended upon to supply the
steady and healthy demands of our
Leading towns and cities for such
necessary food supply as poultry.

Fresh Fish for Poultry.

A good food for growing chicks
Or laying hens is fish waste, if used
fresh, or young and inferior refuse
fish which can be had at canning and
packing plants, usually free of cost.
This food is rich in protein, and is a
remarkable egg and flesh producer.
A proper way of preparing this waste
or refuse is to steam or bake it quite
thoroughly, thus eliminating any Of
fensive odor, and mix it with the
daily mash of corn 60 or oatmeal or or
a meat diet, but should not be fed
too freely or too often, as it may
have tendency to lessen the amount
of exercise the fowls should take
When the fish are properly cooked
the flavor will not be perceptible in
the eggs.-Florida Poultry and Agri-
cultural Journal

Why Women Succeed With Poultry

A correspondent, Of the California
Cultivator, gives the following as
some Of the reasons why women are
SO successful as poultry keepers:
"Man's work is from sun to sun
woman's work is never done" was the
rejoinder to the que on, "Whatever
were you doing in the middle of the
night?"
"Mother heard a chicken cry, and
she went out to put it to bed again;
they sometimes tumble out and get
lost, especially on moonlight nights"
you don't mean to say that you
got out Of your warm bed and went
out to the brooder house in the mid
die of the night, just to make chick
en- comfortable" said my Eastern
friend in a tone of mournful SURPRISE
I could see she looked upon me as a
hopeless case; in fact pitifully weak
in the upper story or monomaniac
as far as chickens were concerned
"That is just what I did," was my
laughing reply. "Of course no one
likes to hear a chicken or a baby
cry, especially in the middle of the
night, but is was not merely matter
of sentiment on my part; it was also
matter of dollars and cents"
How much is that chicken WORTH"
was the next question.
"About fifty cents; it is thorough
bred White Rock"
81 fail to see where your dollars
come in; it seems to me you are car
rying things too far!"
"Wait till you are chicken fancier
then you will understands
When she is chicken fancier, she
will know that if had left that baby
chick out from under the warm hover,
he would have taken cold and next
day would have been feverish and
walked around all bumped up alter
nately drinking water and shivering,
and at night he would have felt SO
lonesome and sick that he would have
crowded up against or under some Of
his brothers and sisters and some Of
them would take the infection from
him, and the next day they would in

brooder or perhaps all of them might
be sick and there would be mysteri-

tor of Tonopah, among the men at it's

A noticeable factor in the geographi-
cal ~configuration of the acreage in the
property is the fact that almost at

been taken out and lie oil the dump

A gasoline hoist has been erected on
the property, and advantage is being
taken of the fact that among Nevada's
