HATCH CHICKENS. EARLY.
Remedy for Shortage Is in Hands
of the Poultry Man.

Did ii ever occur to you that nature
requires her children TO take an annual
vacation? She does. and nowhere do
human beings puzzle their brains over
this fact more than when the hens be-
gin their yearly holiday. This vacation
is technically called the "molting sea-
son. " 1t begins during the late summer.
The hens stop laying, and change their
suits of feathers for new ones. Usually
they consume three or four months in
the process. Most OF US know this per-
fectly well, but are apt to overlook the
fact that very important feature OF
the molting period is that egg laying
stops. We are unreasonable and
expect the hens to lay all the time.
When the hens take a vacation new
laid fresh eggs are scarce and remain
scarce until the pullets hatched during
the preceding spring begin to lay.
THE REMEDY.
The remedy is very simple, and is
under the control OF the poultry man.
The first step is to have chickens hatch
ed early, so that the pullets begin to lay
when the hens begin TO molt. This is
not difficult. Pullets OF the American
breeds begin laying at about z months
Of age. Leghorn pullets begin when
about months old. North of the Ohio
River this means that all Matching must
be over by May at the latest. The
best plan is to have the chickens COM
ing at intervals during March and April.
The earliest hatched pullets will, Of
course, begin to lay. first. II any of
them begin to molt, their places will be
taken by the later ones and steady
supply Of eggs will he more certain.
THE DIFFICULTY.
The difficulty in the way of the prac.
tical application of this matter is that so
many poultry keepers are dependent
on hens for Matching. As long as we
have late hatched chickens we will have
late sitters. The poultry keeper who
wants to change from late Matching to
early Matching must therefore either
get broody hens from some one else or
use an incubator. After he has chang
ed the dates" on his flock he will have
no trouble, especially with the Ameri.
can breeds.
CAN 1T BE DONE?
Every progressive poultry raiser who
has tried it, every agricultural college
and the Government, have data show
ing that early Matching will produce
fall and winter layers. In the Govern
ment flock during the past winter the
pullets of the entire flock averaged
over 20 per cent in egg production, and
some pens made 35 per cent. That
means, in plain language, that the egg
production for ali the pullets was one
egg daily for every five hens, and for
some pens one egg daily for every three
hens. This, too, when fresh eggs sold
up to rs cents per dozen in Washing
ton. This could not have been done
except by early Matching.
