EARLY HATCHED BIRD
LAYS The FALL eggs
Has Advantage of Long Grow
ing Season in Which
to Develop

One chick Matched in February or
March is worth two hatched in June
or July The early hatched chickens
are stronger, thrive better and have
the advantage of longer growing
season. 1t is the early hatched pull
let that lays the fall and winter eggs.
Birds should be mated at least a
week before eggs are saved for hatch
ing. Females over year old make
the best breeders providing they are
strong and vigorous. 1t is better, how
ever, to breed from strong, well ma
tured pullets than old birds with poor
vitality. The male bird should be
especially active and from high lay
ing stock. When breeding from old
hens, it is advisable to use well
matured cockerel. When using pull
lets it is advisable to use a cock bird
which is male over one year old.
Use one male to twelve females in all
breeds except the Leghorns, Campines,
Anconas and Minorcas where one
male to fifteen females is sufficient
Breeding stock should have plenty OF
exercise If possible feed sour, skim
milk or buttermilk Fresh water and
oyster shells at all times are also very
essential. Feed sparingly in the
morning SO that birds will be active
all day. At night, however, feed
heavily, so that birds will go to roost
satisfied and contented. 1t is advis-
able to feed about twice as much at
night as in the morning.
During the Matching season eggs
should be collected twice a day and
kept at a temperature of SO or so
degrees. If eggs become chilled or
overheated, the germ dies and hence
the egg will not hatch. 1t is not ad-
visable to save eggs more than two
weeks for Matching purposes. The
fresher the egg, the stronger the
germ and therefore the more likely
to hatch a strong, healthy chick. Ii
eggs must be kept over two days they
should be turned once a day. Eat or
sell all eggs that are extra large or
small and eggs with deformed or de-
fective shells. Small eggs produce
small chickens Medium sized eggs
are best for Matching,
Select medium sized, quiet hens for
setting Provide her with roomy,
clean nest, which is well bedded with
hay, straw or leaves. Nest should be
placed in some quiet place which is
rat proof and away from other hens.
1t is best to move hen to new quar-
ters at night. Then try her out two
days before placing good eggs under
her Birds should be treated for lice
before being set. Lice irritate the
hen so that she will not set well. Lice
also retard the growth of small chicks
and often kill them.
The setting hen should have plenty
of food and fresh water at all times.
Corn is one of the best foods for set
ting hens, as it furnishes the requir-
ed heat Green food and oyster shell
are also essential.
If the breeding stock is healthy and
strong and care is taken of the eggs
and hen, good matches and strong
chicks are sure to be the reward

who failed to get the measles last
winter, have fallen a victim to them
and the entire community will be
swept clean.
The war is teaching US some good
lessons. We will have to get back to
the simple life. There has been un-
necessary waste and extravaganza in
rations and clothing. Our country
has been going at break neck speed
but are waking up to the fact that
we may actually face want.
1t is well enough to put on the
brakes.
Could it be so about the time we
get permanent roads built all of
our hauling and travelling will be
done by the flying machine? Not i'm
possible.
If all of our doctors are called a.
way we will have to get back to tur-
pentine and castor oil, TUFTS Pills,
penny royal mullen, hoar hound, and
other teas our mas made and poul-
tees that grand-mothers said would
cure all aches and pains.

the slogan in the Bethlehem League

that the steel organization will lie

when the Steelton club of the
Bethlehem Steel Company League
comes to this city to play, many ball
players we'll known locally will ap-
pear in their lineup. The team is

George has left nothing undone
to secure players of the best for the
Steelton club and a glance at the
lineup to represent that team this
season, will show that he has not
overlooked any. Cockill has most of
his men signed with the exception of
one or two.

negotiations with Eddie Plank, the
veteran big Lacquer, who has not yet

sented his best man of the afternoon,
three less than established by Kess-
