BETTER FARMING HINTS
Keep Eggs From Actioe Fouls
For Matching.

Only eggs from vigorous
fowls should be used for hatch
ing is the advice Of H. B. Lans-
den, poultry specialist with the
Agricultural Extension Division
Strong, active fowls produce
more fertile eggs from which
sturdy healthy chicks are hatch
ed. Eggs from fowls Of strong
vitality are not only more fertile
but they also hatch better and
the chicks are easier to raise.
A few breeding fowls select
ed for their superior vigor and
stronger vitality, will often re-
turn a greater profit than a
much larger number of fowls
which are lacking in these char
acterS.
Strong vitality is indicated by
a head that is short, oroad, deep
and compact; an eye that is
bright, full clear and prominent;
a Deak snort, stout. broad and
we'll curved; comb and wattles
well developed and frey red.
The body of the bird should be
well balanced and compact; the
back long and broad, carrying
its width we'll out to the end
The individual should have good
capacity, as shown by the length
depth and width Of the body.
This will give room for develop
ment of good digestive and re-
productive systems.
The stronger birds usually
stand with legs placed squarely
under the body and wide apart
