Do Your Hens Pay?

So many people are constantly going
into the poultry business, try first one
breed and then another and finally con-
clude that chickens do not pay. | want
to show you that in nine cases out of
ten it is your own fault.
Take a mixed lot of chickens and
they will do fairly well the first year.
And you start in to tear down the vi
tality right away, for when the cock
erels get large enough to crow and fry
you proceed to eat them, taking the
incest, most active and those having
the most vitality, leaving the culls to
breed from the next year. AS the
rooster is half of your pen he will get
chickens like himself, slow to develop
and the hens will be nearly a year old
before they go to laying and will be
poor layers when they do get at it.
Follow that up few years and see.
Can the chickens help that?
On the other hand. you pick out your
breeding rooster when he is half
grown. Pick the one that is the first
to crow and shows signs of being a
rooster. A hen like him would be the
first to lay of the lot, and will be a
good layer and will pay.
The bird that develops the first has
the most vitality, and that is what is
most desired, and you destroy that by
using the slow roosters and hens. Also
by inbreeding. The same thing is done
by the fancy chicken raiser, and you
are rather helpless sometimes wher
you want to raise chickens true tc
feather, for nine times out of ten the
cockerel with the most vigor has some
feathers so much off that you could not
think of keeping him and you will
have to get or pick out one that is the

To the Editor of the Glacier: In
reading the article in today's Glacier
by B. R. Richter in answer to A. N.
Rahm's letter a week ago | find this
statement: He says, "But thanks to
the divine impulse planted in the hu-
man soul, we are becoming cognizant
that right here we are going to run up
against a Divine law that sooner or
later will compel recognition" " Now
that is a fact as sure as God lives.

ally starving in the midst of plenty.
Gods storehouse is full to overfowing
and yet many of his professed follow
ers even are living on husks, to say
