EARLY MATCHING BRINGS WIN
TER EGGS
4 Simple Way For Poultry Owners to
Profit From High Prices iii Fall
And Winter.

Early Matching is the secret of
winter egg production, say special
lists in the U. S. Department OF Agrl-
culture. The pullet that is Matched
early natures early and is ready to
lay eggs in the fall when the supply
is scarcest and prices highest.
Chickens that are expected to be
revenue producers for their owners
later in the year should be out OF
their shells by April 80 at the latest.
If they are properly cared for there
after they will begin to lay eggs at
the very time that eggs are most
wanted.
To a great extent the pOultrymen
of the country have overlooked this
simple fact. For one thing, birds
Matched later in the spring or sum
mer are not inclined to become broody
until late the following season and
thus an Improbable circle is formed.
Each year pullets mature too late to
produce in the fall and winter, and
they set too late for their offspring to
do any better. The poultryman who
wishes to get really good return :
from his flock must break this circle.
The growing use of incubaCors has
There is no reason why incubatOra
should not be filled in March and
early April and the Matching over be-
fore May /. If no incubator is avail
able it may be possible to secure
broody hens in the neighborhood.
That they will repay the trouble and
expense necessary to obtain them,
is indicated by results at the govern
ment poultry farm in Maryland. There
it is not unusual to get a daily aver
age OF one egg for every five hens
throughout the fall and winter, and
in some pens the average has been as
high as one egg for three birds. If
anything like this percentage could
be obtained on farms, the ordinary
poultry farmer would derive real
benefit from the high prices which
eggs invariably bring for period OF
several months.

P. Reiss, of Haverstraw, is a sadder
but a wiser man.
Mr.. Reiss, who conducts a butcher
shop, made the mistake of declaring
that he had enough Germans in his
employ to lick all the Yankees in
HaVerStraW.
Village Treasurer Patrick McGrath,
who was near by, thought Reiss was
kidding, but when the butcher per-
sisted in his declaration McGrath
sailed into him and administered a
sound thrashing. Reiss retired to a
hospital for repairs. Haverstraw
housewives have declared a boycott
against his butcher shop, and public
sentiment may compel him to discon-
