HATCHING EGGS 
from 
Park & Tilford’s 
Laurelton Farms, Lakewood, N.J. 
Suburban dwellers should keep poultry 
to cut the high cost of living. Table 
waste would partially feed the birds. 
A small investment in Laurelton Farms 
Large Type Baby Chicks or Hatch¬ 
ing Eggs will give quick returns. We 
are placing before our customers and 
the public all the advantages that 
years of experience and careful breed¬ 
ing can offer. Years of trapnesting 
and breeding under the careful super¬ 
vision of recognized experts have built 
up for the Laurelton Farms the largest 
and most vigorous strain of Heavy 
Egg-Laying S. C. White Leghorns. Our 
breeding females weigh four pounds 
and upwards, and were bred to pro¬ 
duce Large, .Marketable White Eggs for 
Park & Tilford Stores in New York. 
We are now booking orders for 
Hatching Eggs and Baby Chicks, and 
in placing your orders several weeks 
in advance you may select your date 
of shipment.

Lame Chicks 
What causes lameness among little 
chicks, and what may be clone lor itV 
Last Spring I set three hens; all three 
Came out fine, hut in it week or several 
days I would find one or two chicks 
lame in one hip. I tried doctoring them, 
but with no luck. After another day or 
so they would die; then I would find 
more lying around the yard lame. 
MRS. j. E. A. 
Lameness, or leg weakness, is a com¬ 
mon trouble with little chicks kept too 
closely confined and upon board floors. 
The remedy is is to give then an outdoor 
run upon the ground as soon as possible 
after hatching, never trying to keep them 
indoors more than about two weeks. Ap¬ 
parent lameness, however, is frequently 
but an indication of growing weakness 
from some disease or inherited lack of 
vitality, the chicks finally losing the use 
of their legs and then dying. Lice and 
mites will also sap the vitality of little 
chicks if present in their coops. The 
remedy for this is obviously to clean and 
disinfect all coops and quarters used by 
the chicks before placing the birds in 
them. If none of these things account 
for your trouble of last year, I would 
suggest getting hatched eggs from some 
other source this season, trying to obtain 
them from vigorous hens that have not 
been closely confined and unduly forced 
for layiug through the Winter, m. b. d.
