HATCH YOUR CHICKS EARLY

1t is very necessary to hatch pullets
in March and April in order to have
fall and winter eggs for the follow
ing winter. Early Matched pullets
are the ones that begin laying early in
the fall. If they are Matched late in
the season they will not mature in
time to begin laying before the fall
and winter is upon us. A dozen eggs
in the winter months are worth as
much as two dozen eggs in the spring
and summer months when they are
plentiful.
Early Matched chicks are, as rule,
the strongest and most vigorous be-
cause they are produced from eggs
laid while the hens are in their best
breeding condition, and hence they
make quicker, better, and cheaper
growth than late chickens; therefore,
they get more from a given quantity
of feed than late Matched chicks
Fairly chickens also develop to a stage
where they can withstand extreme
heat, and attacks of. parasites, which
are most numerous and troublesome
in hot weather.
Poultry keepers should select their
best laying hens for breeding par-
poses, preferably hens that are be-
ginning their second laying year, and
mate them with a good, vigorous
coekerel about one year old. If pull
let's are used for breeding purposes
a two year old male should be put
with them. If American, or general
purpose breeds, such as 4 Plymouth
Rock, R. 1. Reds, Orpingtons, Wyan-
dottes, ETC., are used put ten to
twelve females to the male; if Med
iterranean breeds, such as Minorcas,
Ieghorns, etc, are used, twelve to
fifteen females to the male. If birds
are confined to rather close quarters
it would be advisable to decrease the
number of females about nine or ten
20 one male for the first named breeds
and about twelve to the male in the
latter breeds.-H. L. Williams, Ex-
tension Poultry Specialist OF the
Mississippi A. e M. College.
