Too Much Emphasis Cannot Be Plac ed Upon the Importance of
 Early Matching.

 Early hatcned chickens are best and most profitable because the cock erels are ready for the market when prices are highest and early matched bullets lay when eggs are selling for the most
 Early Chickens More Vigorous.
 Early matched chickens give the best results. They are usually the strongest and most vigorous be- cause they are produced from eggs laid while the hens are in their best breeding condition. After long pc riod of laying, hens lose something of their vitality and their capacity to transmit vigor to their offspring, and so late matched chicks are, as a rule, decidedly inferior to early matched in vigor and constitution.
 Make Better and Cheaper Growth.
 Because they are more thrifty and
 
 quicker, better and cheaper growth than late chickens. Weak and under sized chickens often consume as much feed as much larger and better de veloped birds, and still make no per ceptible growth.
 More Healthy.
 Early chickens develop to the stage where they can withstand extreme heat and the attacks of parasites, which are numerous and troublesome in hot weather. Late chickens are likely to be caught by severe heat just at the stage of their growth where heat is most facilitating to them. In their weakened condition they then become all easy prey to lice and mites, their growth is interrupted and when the cold, wet weather comes in the fall they are peculiarly sus ceptible to it and likely to develop colds, while vigorous early chicks find the coolness stimulating and are not Injured by the dalnpness.
 Early hatchfng reduces the rlsks due to the vicissitudes of matching. When eggs do not hatch we'll early in the season there is time to find the reason for poor matching and correct it before the season is too far ad vanced to get reasonably early chicks in the numbers desired. In that case poultry production may not be re duced at all, and egg production is retarded only a few weeks. When late matching is not satisfactory the crop of poultry is cut short and egs production fails.
 Remember, March, April and Hay are the best months in which to ! hatch chickens.
