the country makes it possible for farmers 
or poultrymen with good flocks to market 
many of their eggs during the Spring 
months at a price better than secured on 
the commercial market. 
There are a few precautions that one 
should use if they care to handle eggs for 
this kind of a market. Poultrymen oper¬ 
ating hatcheries desire eggs from year-old 
hens generally, rather than pullets, so 
that if the pen of hens can be kept sepa¬ 
rate from the pullets, it will be possible 
to provide these wants. There should be 
one rooster to every 12 or 15 hens. We 
ordinarily do not force our flock to heavy 
Winter production; that is. the farm 
flock, of course, must produce some eggs 
through the Winter, but is not forced 
heavily, and therefore the eggs in the 
Spring months are more valuable than if 
the hens had been laying constantly. 
To ship to commercial hatcheries it is 
necessary to provide our own crates, 
which are made heavier than ordinary egg 
crates and stand the rack of shipping and 
returning much more safely than cheap 
crates. Our name is nicely stenciled on 
those crates so that they do not become 
lost and they may be used throughout the 
season. 
There is no particular feed that one 
needs to give for producing eggs for 
hatching purposes. Contrary to the opin¬ 
ion of many poultrymen. our experiment 
station men tell us that the hatchability 
of eggs is not influenced by the amount 
of meat scrap or tankage in the ration, as 
a good many think. They have found 
that hens on the rations with even an ex¬ 
cessive amount of meat scrap produce 
eggs with a fertility of about 70 per 
cent, which is about as high as any com¬ 
mercial hatchery can secure.
