Nothing but 
Good Chicks 
You could not produce these 
chicks yourself at twice the 
cost, and we take all the 
risk. We guarantee to de¬ 
liver every chick you buy 
alive and healthy. We will 
replace it or refund your 
money in case of loss. 
Every hen in the Hocks that 
lay Kerr Chickery eggs is 
a pure bred, heavy laying, 
utility type, vigorous bird. 
They have the run of open 
farms, which .keeps them in 
good condition. Many of 
our customers have won 
prizes with chickens raised 
from the chicks of these 
good breeders. 
The eggs are incubated by ex¬ 
perts who do nothing else. 
One reason why Kerr Chicks 
are sold so cheap is, the skill 
of these men keeps produc¬ 
tion cost low by hatching a 
very high percentage of 
sturdy little chicks out of 
each setting. Our selling 
expense is low because we 
sell direct to you. 
Order the breed you like best. 
We have all the favorites.

Hatching Troubles 
What is the cause of roy hatchiug 
troubles? My eggs tested very well, in¬ 
cubator ran well, after second week 
usually a little above 103, but I have very 
few chicks, aud they seetn to have a 
gummy liquid that is like paste. I 
opened some of the eggs, aud nearly all 
had a fully developed chick, but dead. 
Pennsylvania. b. f. h. 
The failure of fully developed chicks to 
emerge from ‘the shell at hatching time, 
if incubator has been run properly, is 
probably due to lack of vigor in the hatch¬ 
iug stock, and this, of course, may have 
many causes. Improper care of hatching 
pggs before they are incubated may. of 
course, be responsible also. There are so 
many conditions affecting hatches, from 
start to finish, that only close acquaint¬ 
ance with all of them will suffice in find¬ 
ing the source of many troubles.

least once daily. Turning them twice 
has slightly improved hatching percent¬ 
ages. Cording is not practiced as much 
as formerly, experiments apparently show¬ 
ing that tile only effect of this is to slow 
down the hatch. Eggs will be sufficiently 
cooled in the process of turning, unless 
the temperature of the machine has been 
running too high, and it is desired to re¬ 
duce that of the eggs rather quickly.
