Fable is Transforming into fact. 1t
has been customary in allegorical
statement only to allude to the hen
that lays the golden eggs. In view of
the present prices of eggs and poultry,
it begins to look as if the age of the
golden eggs had arrived. With mar
keting conditions for poultry products
better than ever before, with a stabil-
ICED demand for quality products, and
with prospects of larger amounts Of
feeds being available as a result of
the cessation of war, there Is every
incentive for the poultryman's best eff
forts.
A fundamental factor which makes
for greater success with hens is to
hatch early. The early chick catches
the worm both in the garden and in
the economies of poultry production.
The poultryman who aspires to beat
the calendar and to hatch several
weeks earlier than the cut-and-dried
practice gains an advantage which
permits him to market quality cock
erels at less cost and greater profit
much in advance of his associates who
are remiss in lighting their incubators
or setting their hens. Chicks thrive
and develop rapidly during the early
days of spring; the early Matched
fowls thus realize full benefits from
the propitious and longer growing sea-
son.

Poultry Studies Wide in Scope.

In it's efforts to encourage the broad
development of poultry raising in the
United States, the bureau of animal
industry of the United States depart
ment of agriculture is conducting in
vestigations to establish the best
methods of raising many varieties of
fowls. The present scope of the work
includes not only the feeding, breed.
ing, and care of ordinary poultry, but
also the raising of pigeons, squads,
guineas, turkeys, and many other
birds, including ostriches. The flesh
of squads, turkeys, guineas, geese and
ducks makes pleasing variety In the
diet, and with wild fowls now becom-
ing less available, it is important that
sufficient number of domestic birds
be raised to keep the market con-
stantly supplied. The problem now is
chiefly one of farm production, which
requires expert knowledge If adequate
supplies are to be continued.

Pure-Bred Bulls Are Needed to De-
velop Profitable Dairy Herd.

Ted the same investment would have
purchased the necessary bulls at an
average of 1888. On the farms men,
toned nearly four times as many bulls
were used as would have been required
under proper organization, The farm
ers were therefore feeding four bulls
when they should have been feeding
only one.
Data from one of the first bull asso-
Citations organized under the direction
of the department of agriculture il
lustrate this very well. Before the
association was formed the bulls in
use had an average market value of
$50. The average price paid by the
association for registered bulls was
S240 Price does not always CORE
spond to value, yet as the bulls were
carefully selected the price in this
case is doubtless a fair index of true
worth. In this association each farm
er's investment for a share in good
registered bull was S14 less than his
former investment in an animal of in
ferior breeding and doubtful merit.
Actual first-cOst figures from other
cooperative bull associations are even
more encouraging. In one association
having more than 100 members the
original cost to each member was only
SOB. The members already have had
the use of good pure-bred bulls for four
years and probably will have their use
additional
cost other than for maintenance. An
other association with more than %
members has had the use of good pure
bred bulls for more than seven years
ut an average investment of less than
$25 a member, with prospects of be-
ing able to use them for three or four
years more. Practically all dairymen
desire to raise pure-bred cattle, but
comparatively few can afford indivld'
ually to purchase such bulls as are
needed to develop a profitable pure
bred herd. The bull association over
comes the difficulty, and the money
saved can be used toward the pur'
chase of registered females.
When questioned regarding the value
of cooperative bull associations, 100
farmers in Maryland, Michigan and
Minnesota estimated that the use OF
bulls belonging to the organization In
creased the valhe of the offspring in
the first generation from 30 to so per
cent, with an average of 65 per cent,
Usually in business transactions in
which there is a probability of great
gain there is a possibility of heavy
loss, but in bull associations the
chances of profit are excellent, with
little probability of loss. The invest
ment is so small and the chance for
herd Improvement so great that the net
returns greatly exceed the small orig
inal investment.

Why to Hatch Early.

The early hatch spells sure profits,
other conditions being equal, because
it fosters the earlier maturity and egg
production of the pullets; it induces
a stream of eggs at the season when
eggs are highest in price; it gives the
chicks a chance to develop into strong
healthy birds before hot weather sets
in; it provides a supply of wage earn,
ing pullets to replace the ola hens in
the flock as soon as the latter birds
begin to develop star-boarder charac-
terjstics; it produces chicks which are
robust and rugged and better able to
withstand the attacks of lice and dis
ease; it means early cockerels for
market when the supply is scant and
the price CORRESPONDENCE attractive.
Hens take a three months vacation
every fall during the melting season
while they don new plumage. When
the hens are idle, the stream of eggs
ceases unless early Matched pullets
are ready to substitute for the older
fowl as egg-producers. AS fall and
winter eggs are always in demand at
profitable prices, early Matching re-
turns rapid dividends where the pull
lets are geared up for active service
when the hens begin their rest.
Less Disease Among Robust PuIlets.
Where lice attack the flock, the
smaller, weaker chickens are first to
succumb. Lice are worse during warm
than cold weather and hence the
early Matched chicks are less exposed
to such pests while still very young
Furthermore, immature pullets are
subject to colds during the fall and
are likely to spread colds throughout
the entire flock. To remedy this diff.
fculty, hatch early and have the pull
let's reasonably well matured when
they are placed in winter quarters.
As more cockerels are produced
than are needed for breeding pur-
poses 1t is imperative that the surplus
stock be rapidly matured and sold as
broileTs and springers at early ages.
