EARLY MATCHING FOR EGGS

early Matching is the secret of win

ready TO lay eggs in the fall when the

Chickens that are expected to be rcvc-

shells by April goth, at the latest. If
! they are properly cared for thereafter
! 'neE VIII begin to lay eggs at the very
time that eggs are most wanted.
To great extent the poultrymcn OF
the country have overlooked this sim
pic fact. For one thing, birds Matched
later III the spring or summer arc not
inclined TO become broody until late
the following season and thus an un-
profitable circle is formed. Each year
pullc;s mature too late TO produce in
the fall and winter. and they sit too
late for their offspring to do any bet
ter. The poultryman who wishes to
get really Sood returns from his flock
must break this circle.
The growing use of incubators has
made this comparatively easier There

II anything like this percentage could
be obtained OIL farms. the ordinary
poultry farmer would derive real benc-
Fl from the high prices which eggs
invariably bring for a period of sew
eral months.
The question of the use or incubators
resolves itself into this: DO YOU want
the maximum OF profit from the num-
bcr of fowls which YOU keep? If so.
an incubator is necessity. If the
amount of profit is Of no Importance,
then there is no real need for ma
chine. March and April are the two
most profitable months for Matching,
and not enough hens will become
broody before the last of March TO
satisfy the demands of the average
farm flock. The incubator enables the
owner to control the date of Matching
and maturity OF his chicks-a very
important item in the success Of the
business.
