Eomicide--A case of killing occurred
In Greenville on Thursday night. The

HENSGET STARTED
Some Suggestions About Eggs
and the Hens That Make
the Same.
ny WALTER G. sCHAAF

To start with there is vast diff
ference between the utility poultry
man and the fancier. as regards win
ter eggs. The former wants eggs for
ga ting or market purposes, while the
latter wants his eggs 10 be strongly
fertlized, so as to produce strong and
vigorous chicks. In consequences, the
fancier likes TO delay the beginning OF
the laying season for his best pullets.
for in so doing he allows his pullets
to fully mature before laying, there
by causing the germs OF life In the
egg to be stronger Not only this, but
by Keeping them back in laying until,
say January, he will get eggs through
January, February, March, April before
his pullets get the sitting fever. This
gives him the four best months of the
year for selling his eggs for hatch
ing purposes, whereas, II he would

then want to sit at the time he rs

large utility egg farms around New
York City and out West. where they
have from 5000 10 10000 layers on one

ing pullets only the first season, keep
Ing only as many yearling hens as
they need to furnish eggs enough to
