Matching 1900 chickens is the big propo-
sition that is now being done by o. D.
Wells, which he will add to his poultry
plant of 1850 hens. Probably this is the
biggest hatcn this spring .stor any indi-
vidual in Maine. He has realized a 80
per cent hatch, which is considered ex-
ira good. These chickens are now about
three weeks old. They are healthy and
vigorous. Mr.. Wells will raise them for
his own hen farm. anticipating that
about half of them will be pullets.
Though this man has been in the bust
ness seven years and has not changed
his breed or his breeders, yet he is
able to keep UP the vitality of his
chickens and hens by method that he
has in choosing eggs from his nests of
the very best type for setting purposes
and by choosing the very best hens and
he has an excellent knowledge of what
by results, for breeders. He has used
his own cockerels this year and he claims
he has had the best results and his
chickens are more vigorous The chick
ems he has Matched this year will go to
make up poultry that he will kill off so
that he plans to have between 1900 and
15O0 hens for his layers for the coming
season. He does all this business on
three acres of land. He declares there
is no secret in being able to make s.
per day profit from the plant throughout
the year, but he says man should
have lightning judgment. as he would
in any business that Is success.
