SPECIAL NOTICE 
We believe every advertiser in oor Poultry Department U 
honest and reliable. Wo stand back of these classihed adver¬ 
tisements with our ** Square Deal Guarantee/* as we do the 
display advertisements. Those purchasing eggs for batching 
and baby chicka must understand that they are assuming 
some risk when ordering from a distance. For the most part 
eggs and chicka 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 controversy 
buyer and seller should have a definite understanding aa to 
the responsibility assumed in case of dissatisfaction.

Forcing Early Laying 
On page 202 you say “an experienced 
poultry man can delay somewhat his 
early birds and force his later hatches.” 
I have some Leghorn chicks hatched in 
May, will you tell how they can be 
forced so as to lay in Winter? 
Virginia. ll. J. W. 
Chickens may be forced for early lay¬ 
ing by feeding a large proportion of 
meat in their ration, and their maturity 
may be delayed by withholding meat 
and feeding them largely upon corn, and 
like fattening foods. There are limits, 
of course, to which these methods can 
be safely carried, but, if it is desired to 
make early layers of May hatched 
chicks, they should have a liberal amount 
of meat of some kind, or of skim-milk, 
in their ration from the start. They 
will thus develop and “ripen” quickly 
and will lay correspondingly early. 
Some poultrymen feed a dry mash con¬ 
taining one-fourth part, by weight, of the 
best beef scrap and keep it constantly 
before their growing chicks; others keep 
the scrap in open hoppers where the 
chicks can help themselves at will. If 
young chicks can have free range, th^ 
will not overeat from hoppers always 
open before them. m. b. d.
