There Is no one breed Of poultry that

bros for years past and have brought the
laying qualities to the front This means
that one may select to-day almost any
variety OF fowl and md strains that are
excellent for egg production.
The thing TO do is 10 make the selection
OF tho breed and variety according to
your own taste for large or small bird
or for some particular color The matter

HARD TO BREAK BAD HABIT.

The habit some hens have OF eating
the eggs as they lie in the nest is YER,

usually is caused by overcrowding, lack

are too low 10 the ground and too light

food AS a rule the hen acquires "A taste
FOR eggs by pecking at soft shelled
egg or one that has been broken In the
nest.

once she has acquired "A taste for the
eggs. The best thing to do is to sell
her or eat her. II you wish TO try

succ, ssful methods are either to use
number OF china eggs or loaded eggs
in your nest where the bird will be sure

ful attacks on these eggs the hens prob
ably will become discouraged and leave
the rest OF them alone. The most ef-
fective way OF preventing hens from ac-

build the nests dark and about two fee

there IS no danger OF the eggs being

LITTLE ONES SHOW INTEREST.
Eleven boys and Girls Clubs Are
Formed In First Year.

The boys and girls poultry clubs which
were started In Virginia by the United
states Department Of Agriculture In No
vember, 1919, have proved more popular
than was expected. the children having
shown great interest in this work since
its inception. Il has not been the purpose
Of the Department to see how many clubs
1t was possible To form this last year. but
to start in few counties In which It was
thought good progress could be made and
lay II foundation FOR future work.
Throughout the three counties chosen
eleven clubs were formed. consisting nf
about 200 members, who pursued the
course OF study and carried out the in
struct!ons laid down ny the Departmert
officers This consisted Of reading the
Department bulletins. writing a compost
t!on. on poultry management. followed
later by the actual work OF securing set
tngs of eggs from standard bred stock
and raising the chicks During the win
ter meetings OF the clubs were held, and
among other things the children were
taught the value OF producing the infert.le
egg and how 70 grade and pack eggs prop
erly for market.
In several instances the instructor in
charge OF club work assembled the chill
dren Of neiShhorhood ON Saturday on
one of the farms 81 their section and gave
them practical demonstration showing
how to set hem feed the chickens, care
for the poultry houses &c. At the State
fair held In Richmond, Va, the first exhi-
billion OF poultry raised by members of the
boys and girls poultry clubs was held
This exhibit numbered about $50 birds
and was feature of the poultry show
In the main poultry building. Besides
several handsome silver cups and other
special prizes donated ny public spirited
citizens ~ the state the club members
competed for and received the same prize
money from the fair association as the
other exhibitors but did not have to com
pete with them. This generous treatment
by the Virginia State Fair officials 4. an
incentive for the children to raise better
poultry, and many of the club members
already are planning for larger and better
exhibits for the coming year.
