POSTAGE RATES FOR EGGS
FAVOR PARCEL POST SALES

Average hens eggs will weigh
about IL pounds to the dozen, or 2
ounces apiece. The weight of a single
dozen of eggs in carton properly
packed and wrapped for mailing will
run from 2 to pounds, depending Oh
the nature of the particular contain
er, the size of the eggs, and the pack
ing and wrapping used. If the con-
tainer be avery light one and the egG
small, the parcel may fall within the
2-pound limit, and the postage, there
fore, within the first and second
zones, or 150mile limit, would be
6 cents. Most parcels containing a
dozen eggs will exceed 2 pounds but
will not reach 8; therefore the post
age on them will be cents within
the first and second zones. A par
eel containing 2 dozen eggs will add
perhaps 2 cents to the postage,
though sometimes only 1 cent, de-
pending on the nature of the con-
tainer and the packing and wrapping.

mouth Rock hens and pullets. In
the spring of 1916 they sold 1000 ca

Before the Farmville association
was formed, poultry keeping in that
locality was merely incidental, an
unimportant side line to other farm
activities Today poultry keeping is
one of the important industries Of
that region, and even the casual tray

EVERYBODY LIKE EGGS
WHAT HENS PRODUCE BEST

Egg production doubtless is the
leading branch of poultry keeping,
and, in addition, is very important
agricultural activity. According to
lie last census the eggs produced in
the United States in 1909 numbered
more than 1871 100000 dozens, with
!. Value OF more than $500, 10000.
Eggs, of course are produced where
ever chickens are kept and by far the
greater part OF the egg crop comes
from the general farm yet large So
called egg farms have been develop
ed with the main purpose of produc-
ing eggs for market. The largest
ef these egg farms and the greatest
Aumber OF them are located near
white eggs; and for this reason, to-
markets which pay q premium for
gcther with the fact that eggs are
primarily Desired that breeds kept
arc those known as the egg breeds,
such as the Leghorn, Campine, Min
orca, and Ancona. The Single Comb
White Lcghorn is undoubtedly the
most popular and the most widely
kept variety OF. the egg breeds. These
breeds comprise the Mediterranean
and Continental classes, as given in
the American Standard OF Perfection.
The egg breeds frequently are found
on general farms also, particularly in
those sections near markets prefer

Beginning of Egg Production

growth also operate to delay produc-
ton for several months. Any dis
turbance affecting the habits, quar-
tiers or comfort of the pullet at any
stage of her life may retard laying.
Shifting the birds from place to
place and abrupt changes in the diet
often disturb the fowl enough to
retard laying. In fact, poultry fam
ciers who desire to keep pullets in
condition for exhibition often use this
means of keping them from laying.
On the average, pullets about to be-
gin laying are more sensitive to dis
turbances than at any other stages
of their growth, and therefore require
greater care in handling, but disturb
ances rctarding the growth even of
small chicks are likely to postpone the
beginning of egg production.
1t is imperative that every poultry
keeper exercise the maximum of eau
ton from the time The chicks are
Matched until the pullets attain ma
turity, so that the fowl will make reg
ular growth and not be subjected to
any factors which will stunt or d.
vert the proper development of the
birds. The alphabet of proper man
agement of the pullets emphasizes
such factors as correct nourishment,
regularity, comfort, well-being, con-
stitution, exercise, and cleanliness.
Given the proper care and surround
ines, the early Matched chick will de-,
velop into a profitable, early and per-
sistent producer of eggs. This is
the goal toward which every poultry
man should work.

The growing pullet is a creature
of habit, thoroughly addicted to
regularity and vigorously opposed
to disturbance and unusual commo-
ton. 1t is essential for the good of
the flock in its entirety that the pull
lets should grow and improve like
clockwork, from the time of Matching
to maturity. Laying often re-
tarded by seemingly trivial disturb
ances, such as moving the fowl from
place to place and changing the
makeup of the ration.
In order to insure early eggs see to
it that the growth of the pullets is
not retarded in any manner whatever.
Almost without exception the pullet
whose growth from Matching to ma
turity has been regular, not subject
to checks and interruptions, is an
early layer. In support of the state
ment that checked growth results in
retarded laying, comes the fact that
May-Aatchcd puIlets often lay earlier
than others which were Matched in
April put retarded in the early stages
of their growth by unfavorable
weather.
Retardation by weather conditions,
however, is only one of many factors
which may stunt the normal growth
of pullet and defer her entrance to
the laying class.
AS a rule, egg production begins at
or before the cessation of the pul-
let's physical growth and develop
ment of the reproductive organs.
