THE RURAIS NEW-YORKER 
MARKETS 
Week Ending February 10, 1911. 
BUTTER 
The market on the better grades of 
creamery has improved. The surplus, of 
medium grade butter has been cleared out, 
and there is a better demand all along 
the line. Business in top grades of storage 
creamery is slow,, the price asked by hold¬ 
ers being considered excessive.

The Mortality Among Chicks. 
Many beginners find out, sooner or later, 
that it is easier to hatch chicks than to 
raise them. The mortality among newly- 
hatched chicks every year is enormous, and 
most of those that die succumb during the 
first three weeks. Those that live to be 
six weeks old without sickness have a very 
good chance to reach maturity. The death 
rate varies greatly under different condi¬ 
tions ; but taking them as they are, good, 
bad and indifferent, it would not be out of 
the way to say that half the chickens 
hatched do not live through the first six 
weeks. Trustworthy observers say that out 
of a hundred eggs incubated, either under 
hens or in a machine, 2r> may be expected 
to come to nothing on account of infertility, 
breakage or failure to develop, leaving 75 
to hatch ; and this should be accepted as a 
satisfactory result. They say, too, that the 
average poultry keeper will probably lose 
half of each hatch by the time the survivors 
are six to eight -weeks old, and therefore 
will have only .’18 birds fo show for the hun¬ 
dred eggs that he started with. Some go 
still further and shock the enthusiastic be¬ 
ginner by telling him that he should be sat¬ 
isfied if he succeeds in hatching and carry¬ 
ing to maturity one bird out of every four 
eggs. Of course these statements are based 
on averages. There are plenty of poultry 
keepers all over the country who get much 
better results than these r but, on the other 
hand, there are thousands of chicks that die 
off every Spring in flocks where tile mortal¬ 
ity runs up to 80 or 90 pec cent., or even 
more. The beginner should not be too easily 
discouraged if his results are not what he 
hopes for when he starts out to hatch.
