Egg-eating Hens 
I notice in The R. N.-Y. that quite a 
number of poultrymen are having trouble 
with hens eating eggs. That is a prob¬ 
lem that needs to be solved at once; with 
the very first sign of an egg having been 
broken in the nest, the hens should be 
carefully looked over as soon as they 
have gone to roost, to find the culprit. 
This is not difficult, for there will be some 
of the yolk on her beak, usually. Then 
take the hen under your left arm, with 
her head in your left hand, and with 
thumb and finger open her mouth, and 
with the sharpest blade of your penknife 
paie the hard shell of the beak down to 
the “quick”—not enough to make it bleed, 
but so that it will be tender. Do this to 
both upper and lower mandible, but only 
at the front end. If you have ever pared 
a fingernail a little too close, then hap¬ 
pened to hit that finger end against any¬ 
thing, you will not have forgotten the 
pain. A small file is better than a knife 
to pare down the beak; the knife may 
cut too deep. Then put some china or 
glass nest eggs in the nest and one or two 
on the floor. When the hen picks at them 
she feels a sharp pain, and it doesn’t take 
her long to learn not to pick at an egg. 
In my 20 years of poultry keeping on my 
farm I found this cure for egg-eating 
operating perfectly every time. It is not 
ci uel, it does not hurt the hen except 
when she picks at something hard, and 
her beak grows out again in a few days, 
the same as your finger nail does. The 
hen doesn’t have to go hungry, for she can 
eat the dry mash without any pain. 
Sometimes the nest is to blame for 
making egg eaters. If there are several 
eggs in a nest that a hen has to jump 
down into, a heavy lien is quite liable to 
break one, especially if one happens to be 
thinner shelled than the others. Then 
the hen starts to eat the most delicious 
thing she ever tasted, and when it is all 
eaten scratches in the nest to find more, 
probably breaking one or two more and 
eating them. The remedy is, don’t have 
any nests that the hens have to jump 
down into. If you use orange boxes for 
nests, saw a hole in the side for the hen 
to enter, nail a board on top, and nail a 
cleat on each end of the bottom, letting 
them extend 8 in. or so beyond the bot¬ 
tom, so that a strip can be nailed to 
them for a landing place for the hen 
when she flies up, and from which she 
can step into the nest. And don’t put in 
too much nest stuff; there must be room 
for the hen to stand up. A hen never 
lays an egg when she is sitting; she has 
to stand upon her feet to extrude the 
egg- GEORGE A. COSGROVE 
Vitamine D 
Positively Prevents and Cures 
Leg Weakness in Chicks 
Experiments at Storrs (Conn.), Wisconsin and Cornell Agr Experi¬ 
ment stations prove that leg weakness in chicks is prevented and cured by 
ieedmg A itamme D, found in greatest quantities in choice cod liver oil. 
The Storrs bulletin, No. 72, says—“The essential element in Cod Diver 
Uil that controls leg weakness is the antirachitic substance, or Vitamine D. 
it is therefore important to use only pure raw cod liver oil (not an emul- 
sion) I or experiments conducted at Storrs, cod liver oil that has been 
tested for this particular Vitamine has been purchased from the Harris 
Laboratories at Tuckahoe, N. Y.” 
Another Storrs test shows that when cod liver oil is mixed with certain 
starchy feeds it loses its Vitamine content and fails to cure leg weakness. 
Avoid untested oils and mixtures. 
Cod Liver Oil—Harris 
is Guaranteed to Contain Vitamine D 
as well as the highly important Vitamine A. It is tested —every lot contains 
the Vitamines. Ordinary commercial cod liver oils may or may not contain 
them. We know of no other brand of Vit amine-tested cod liver oil. 
Cod Liver Oil-Harris should form 1% of the chick mash, (only one 
pint to each 100 lbs. of mash) until the chicks are four to five weeks old. 
For such small amounts the cost is practically nothing. 
Remember, the wonderful results secured are due to the Vitamines, not 
the oil. Order on the basis of known Vitamine content and be sure of re¬ 
sults. Cod Liver Oil-Harris costs little if any more than commercial oils 
of unknown value. And the price we quote includes delivery to your station. 
Get your supply of Cod Liver Oil- 
Harris at once. Mix it with the mash 
you prefer and grow better chicks 
than you ever owned. We will ship 
immediately on receipt of your order.

Inbreeding Poultry 
If I should purchase chicks from a 
dealer out of his first pen, what would I 
do for mates to mate them to next year? 
The Breeder claims to have the best in 
the breed. Anconas, so would not want to 
cross with inferior stock. To use the 
males I raised or get others from him 
would be close inbreeding, it seems. How 
do breeders with famous strains of poul¬ 
try handle this situation? It seems as 
though the original strain would soon be 
far in the background if they introduced 
new blood into the flock. f. w. c. 
Professional poultry breeders are not 
as afraid of inbreeding as amateurs usu- 
allly are; in fact, they inbreed as a mat¬ 
ter of choice. It is the only way in 
which a distinct strain can be built up. 
It requires skill in selection, to avoid per¬ 
petuating and increasing defects, but it 
also furnishes the means of increasing 
and perpetuating desirable qualities. Get 
your flock-and then select one or more 
males next year from the progeny and 
use them in your breeding pen. Select 
carefully for size, vigor, closeness to 
type, productivity of dams and any other 
qualities which you wish to preserve. If 
you will learn to select for desirable qual¬ 
ities in both males and females, it will 
be many years before you will need to 
introduce “new blood.” Careless and 
unintelligent inbreeding, however, will 
soon lead to deterioration of the flock. It 
is this latter type of inbreeding that has 
made the name a bugbear. M. b. d.
