168 Eggs Per Year 
My Hillpot chicks 
began to lay in 
November and in 
12 months from 
that date laid over- 
eleven thousand 
eggs. The average 
per hen was 168 
eggs. I think this 
was very good.

Chicks in Basement 
I have a cement basement about 25x10 
ft. under my chicken house. It is dry 
and warm, well ventilated, but gets no 
direct sunlight. Would this be suitable 
for raising chicks, and if so how long 
should they be kept, here? What* is the 
best brooder for 150 chicks? c. f. b. 
Young chicks could probably be kept in 
this place for two to three weeks, when 
they would begin to show signs of leg 
weakness and other indications of kick of 
thrift. Chicks need contact with tin 1 
earth, and as early as possible if they are 
to do well. A clean grass run is the 
ideal place for them. 
I know of no small brooder upon the 
market that will care for 150 chicks un¬ 
til all need for artificial heat is passed. 
A coal-burning brooder stove, installed in 
a portable brooder house or in a narti- 
tioned-off room of a stationary building, 
will care for from this number up-to 500 
chicks, and will make the most satisfac¬ 
tory single brooder installation that I 
know of. M. B. u.

| Who Are You Going to Buy 
Your Chicks From This Spring? 
The Lord Farms, we believe are the largest 
and most successful breeders and shippers of 
Single Combed White Leghorns in the Eastern 
or Middle States. From a small beginning, 
eleven years ago, we have grown from a 12 -acre 
farm, and today xve own 399 acres. This season 
we shall produce for our own use 40.000 to 00,000 
Leghorns. We have today also a capacity for 
incubating 103,600 eggs, devoted only to one 
breed. We have built this business up simply 
from giving customers satisfaction. We have 
never claimed to have the biggest layers in 
America, or the best show birds in America, but 
we have always claimed to have mighty good 
all round Leghorns that our customers invariably 
make money on. Our business is mostly with 
experienced poultrymen who want good stock— 
not necessarily high-priced stock. We try to 
sell chicks that will live, mature quick, above 
I he average size, and lay extra good eggs. Fur¬ 
thermore. we think that our birds will average 
as many eggs as any strain you can buy. 
If you are looking for some real sensible 
bred Leghorns of good size and strain. American 
bred, then write to Lord Farms for their 80- 
page eatalog. Dealing with us will eliminate a 
good part of the risk there is in going into the 
poultry business.
