THE HENYARD 
Drop in Laying 
I have R. C. Brown Leghorn pullets 
which were hatched last May; com¬ 
menced to lay in November. They laid 
well until about six weeks ago, when I 
first noticed some had trouble in walk¬ 
ing; their shanks dry up and legs get 
stiff. They lay a soft shelled egg, ap¬ 
pear to be all right for a few days and 
then the same trouble again. It hap¬ 
pens to be the best layers. I have fed 
short cut oats, and let them run on sod. 
New York. i- f. 
Your plan of feeding short cut oats Is 
an excellent one if cut while the plant 
is young and tender. Lawn clippings 
may be used in the same way and both 
may be fed in as large quantity as the 
chicks will eat. A good sod is an ex¬ 
cellent thing for a chicken run and you 
are fortunate in having it, but breeders 
.should, of course, have as much liberty 
as possible in order that their vitality 
may not be impaired by close confine¬ 
ment. 
Young Breeding Stock 
I have a nice lot of Buff Wyahdotte 
pullets, just commencing to lay, about 
seven months old. I wish to raise about 
100 chicks. Would you advise me to 
breed from them or buy some eggs and 
pav .$1 or $2 a setting for some? I 
bought the pullets a few months ago and 
like the breed very much. .t. m. l. 
Massachusetts. 
While these pullets are rather young 
to use as breeders, if they are well de¬ 
veloped and vigorous there is no reason 
why you should not hatch from them this 
coming season. Continued hatching, year 
after year, from immature pullets would 
probably I'esult in deterioration of the 
stock and there are other reasons why it 
is better to use mature fowls in the breed¬ 
ing pen, still under your conditions. I 
know of no good reason for not hatching 
this season frtun the best of these pul¬ 
lets mated with a good cook. M. R. n. 
Marking for Identification 
We have 10 imported hens with good 
egg records. We are trapnesting same, 
and the eggs will be hatched out in pedi¬ 
greed egg trays. We wish to mark these 
chicks so we can give pedigrees with 
them. We have read of accounts of 
banding chicks with pigeon bands, plac¬ 
ing them in the bend of the wing. M hat 
do YOU think of the plan of marking? 
Ohio. -T. P. «• 
J. P. G. can get 10 combinations of 
toe punches if he desires. It is the sim¬ 
plest way of marking, but sometimes the 
holes are torn open or grow over, iind 
confusion results. Bands come for the 
purpose that can be put on the leg of the 
chick, but not sealed. When the chick is 
a month old or so, the bands are taken 
from the leg and put through the web 
of the -wing and sealed. I have not used 
them, but understand that this is the 
procedure. Francis f. Lincoln.

SPECIAL NOTICE 
We believe every advertiser In our Poultry 
Department is honest and reliable. We stand 
back of these classified advertisements with our 
“Square Deal Guarantee,” as we do the display 
advertisements. Those purchasing eggs for 
hatching and baby chicks must understand that 
they are assuming some risk when ordering from 
a distance. For the most part eggs and chicks 
carry safely, but sometimes rough handling by 
the express companies or exposure to heat and 
cold causes damage. That eggs fail to hatch or 
chicks die is not conclusive evidence of bad 
faith on the part of the seller, and we shall not 
consider claims on that basis. To avoid contro¬ 
versy buyer and seller should have a definite un¬ 
derstanding as to the responsibility assumed in 
case of dissatisfaction.
