Poor Hatch 
J am having quite a little trouble with 
my hatching this year. I have charge 
of 2,500 chickens. The losses so far 
in baby chicks have been terrible. The 
flock was in poor condition. Neverthe¬ 
less my percentage for five months of in¬ 
cubating last year was about 75. This 
year conditions are greatly improved; 
practically no sickness, clean coops and 
plenty of beets and sprouted oats. I feed 
them scratch grain at 4 p. m. and again 
at S p. m., so they will have it when the 
lights go on at 4 a. m.; green food at 11 
a. m., and slightly moist mash at 1 p. m. 
The scratch is an ordinary scratch mix¬ 
ture, and the mash the Cornell mix; of 
course the dry mash is also before them 
at all time, likewise grit, oyster shell and 
charcoal and good clean water. The in¬ 
cubator I am running just the same as I 
did last year, so I do not blame that. 
Rut this is what I think the trouble might 
be: My one pen of breeders consists of 
500 layers; 250 I had to keep over from 
last year; they are three years old; the 
other 250 are the remains of a June hatch 
of poor quality. The cockerels with the 
above pen are birds that I hatched from 
a flock of imported Leghorns. The leg- 
bands on these are marked 1921, so they 
were at least three years old last year, 
and perhaps four years old. Not getting 
enough eggs from this pen. I have had to 
use eggs from the pullets that I raised. 
New York. L. g. e. 
Your trouble is not uncommon with 
people who try to accomplish more than 
it is possible to under the existing con¬ 
ditions. Your desire to produce a large 
number of eggs has led you to use lights 
for forcing egg production. This- will al¬ 
most invariably unfit your birds for 
breeding purposes, giving you weak germs 
which will either die in the shell or soon 
after they come out. This experience 
should be a lesson to you never to use 
lights on breeding stock except perhaps 
an hour or so in the morning during the 
months of January and February to in¬ 
crease egg production a little for the 
early hatches. The age of your pullets, 
hatched last June, is also a big factor in 
causing your chicks to die. It is pos¬ 
sible to use pullets which have not been 
weakened by forced egg production for 
breeding purposes with fairly good results 
under favorable conditions; but when 
kept in large flocks and fed heavily, in¬ 
cluding a wet mash, for egg production, 
the mortality of the chicks is usually 
rather high, and when lights are used 
from 4 a. m. the loss is greatly increased. 
I do not think that inbreeding has hurt 
your stock as much as lack of selection, 
and, as you say, removing some of the 
best birds from the flock, instead of the 
culls. C. S. GREENE. 
A Bargain in Hen Manure 
My neighbor keeps 600 hens and wishes 
to sell their droppings. He suggests that I 
supply acid phosphate for drop boards, 
barrels for storage, and do the cartage. 
The haul is very convenient, and I need 
the manure. His price is 15 cents per 
bushel. l. k. c. 
Dover, N. J. 
We should call that a good bargain. 
We should get enough acid phosphate so 
as to make liberal use of it. The objec¬ 
tion we have heard to the use of this 
phosphate right on the droppings board 
is that it sometimes makes the hens’ feet 
sore. We should prefer plaster under the 
perches and then add the acid phosphate 
later. It is a good combination and a 
good bargain at the price.
