VIGOR IN THE FLOCK.

One of the most important thing
for the poultryman. is to maintain an,
Increase the Constitutional vigor Of tn,
flock. So much complaint is handed IL
every year about eggs not hatchihl
well and chicks not being healthy. "
some cases eggs do not hatch well be
cause they have not been properly kept
and incubated. Only about two third.
of all the eggs set ever hatch and only
about one half or all the chicks Matched
ever raised
We expect more Of the hen than OF
airy of the animals on the farm, she is
expected in years time to lay abou,
five times her weight in eggs. and this
is continuous strain on them, and in
order to perform this task she must be
in the very best Of health. This lack
Of constitutional vigor is not with any
/ certain variety or strain but is found
among mixed breeds as much as any
where else, and is all due to handling
and the surroundings. To have vigor
and produce as many eggs as We want
them to, We must giard against some
of the things which tend to lower the
physical body.
The attempt to Increase egg produc-
tiveness is one great mistake. have
heard grea. many people suggest the
feeding Of pepper and other stimuierts
to hens for egg production. This is a
great mistake, for these things are
Obstructive to the oviduct. but for the
time being will increase it in its work
OF production. but will break down the
health of the flows and so irritate the
oyiduct. the fowl will be great deal
longer in starting on her next cluster
of eggs The wild jungle fowls. from
which our present domestic fowls origi-
mated. Were said to lay less than dozen
eggs in wear, and now we expect them
TO. lay at least l25 or $50 eggs a year and
at the same time impart to the chick
the same vigor Of the parent stock.
ln-breeding is another way Of loosing
vigor, one should change male birds
often and in this wsv import new blood
in the flock. ln-breeding is practiced
mostly by exhibitors who wish to re-
tain in their flock certain show quail.
ties.
Another mistake made by many is
overcrowding the flock or trying 10
keep too many on a small area. II this
must be done, plough or turn over the
soil often to keep IL fresh. and grow
fruit trees or some form Of vegetation
on il the greater part of the year. To
those who are on farms there is no
danger of crowding except in the hen
house. There should be at least two
square feet Of floor space to each fowl.
Lack Of exercise is another danger.
Have either the hen house or some
separate shed for them TO scratch in.
In this have straw or hay about eight
or twelve inches deep, and feed all
grain food in this. Suspend from the
ceiling about foot above the fowls
head some vegetables so that they will
lump for them. Remember the work

The rebuff given the democratic

ally a democrat of prominence now
arises and proceeds to criticise the

democrats who dared even disagree
with the president were branded as
traitors to the party, condition
which has no right to exist in a
democratic form of government,
where every man is a peer and
where every man has the right to
disagree with or even criticise the

Colquitt of Texas is something Of
