THE  HENYARD 
Eggs  with  Tough  Membrane 
■What,  in  your  opinion,  is  the  cause  of 
the  inside  lining  in  most  of  our  hens’ 
eggs  being  so  tough  and  rubbery?  I  had 
two  sittings  of  eggs  hatch  last  week,  and 
out  of  the  two  sittings  only  got  12  chicks. 
Two  days  before  the  hatch  I  examined 
the  eggs,  and  all,  with  the  exception  of 
three,  had  chicks  in  them,  but  some  way 
or  other  they  seem  to  die  in  the  shell.  I 
do  not  believe  the  hens  were  off  the  nests 
long  enough  for  the  eggs  to  get  cold.  I 
noticed  one  eg«-  in  particular  where  the 
shell  was  all  off  and  nothing  left  but  the 
inside  lining,  and  the  chick  was  strug¬ 
gling  to  break  through  it.  it.  j.  o. 
Connecticut. 
My  opinion  is  that  this  is  not  a  case 
of  extraordinarily  tough  membranes,  but 
one  of  unusually  weak  chicks.  There  are 
many  causes  of  lack  of  vigor  in  the  em¬ 
bryos,  making  them  unable  to  leave  the 
shells  after  reaching  full  development. 
Faults  in  incubation  and  faulty  care  of 
the  breeding  stock  before  the  eggs  are 
laid.  Where  hens  are  used  for  incubat¬ 
ing,  and  attend  to  their  business,  1  should 
look  for  the  cause  of  the  trouble  in  close 
confinement  and  heavy  laying  of  the 
breeders  through  the  Winter,  or  other 
conditions  lessening  their  vitality,  but 
there  are  other  things  that  might  easily 
affect  the  hatchability  of  the  eggs,  such 
as  chilling,  overeating,  keeping  too  long 
before  sitting,  etc.  Only  a  review  of  all 
conditions  surrounding  the  attempt  to 
hatch  certain  eggs  could  enable  one  to 
point  out  possible  sources  of  trouble. 
M.  B.  D. 
Weak  Chicks 
I  have  hatched  lo  chicks;  do  well  the 
first  few  days,  then  stand  around  with 
eyes  closed,  as  if  asleep,  and  sway  on 
their  feet.  I  have  lost  three  so  far.  Last 
year  they  did  the  same  thing,  losing  some 
until  they  were  eight,  to  10  weeks  old. 
The  rest  did  not  grow  well.  Can  you 
tell  me  what  the  trouble  is  and  how  to 
prevent  it?  mbs.  l.  o.  h. 
New  York. 
This  lack  of  thrift  in  newly-hatched 
chicks  may  be  due  to  many  causes,  from 
inherent  lack  of  vigor  to  actual  disease 
of  some  kind.  There  are  always  losses 
among  the  weak  members  of  the  flock, 
these  dying,  its  said,  from  a  variety  of. 
causes,  (live  your  chicks  sour  milk  or 
buttermilk  from  the  start  and  tender 
green  stuff  of  some  kind.  If  raised  under 
hens,  grease  their  heads  with  some  simple 
grease,  and  see  to  it  that  the  mothers  are 
free  from  lice.  They  will  not  be  unless 
you  have  taken  special  precautions  to 
free  them  while  sitting.  A  bit  of  blue 
ointment  the  size  of  a  large  pea  smeared 
over  the  skin  just  below  the  vent  will 
free  the  old  fowls  from  lice  for  a  long 
time.  This  should  not  be  applied  to  the 
young  chicks,  but  a  little  lard  or  vaseline 
upon  the  head  and  beneath  each  wing  will 
protect  them.  M.  n.  i>. 
The  Business  in  Broilers 
How  old  must  a  chick  be  to  be  called 
a  broiler?  IIow  many  would  one  have  to 
place  on  market  every  week  to  make  a 
comfortable  living?  Do  you  think  rais¬ 
ing  broilers  the  year  around  would  be  a 
profitable  proposition?  b.  s.  S. 
Madison,  N.  J. 
Raising  broilers  as  a  business  is  one  of 
the  most  unprofitable  branches  of  the 
poultry  business,  and  the  more  you  raise 
the  poorer  you  will  become.  You  may  won¬ 
der  if  this  statement  is  really  true,  and  if 
so,  why?  The  reason  is  simply  that  there 
are  so  many  broilers  on  the  market  dur¬ 
ing  the  entire  year,  both  fresli-killed  and 
the  cold  storage  variety,  which  have  been 
raised  and  sold  as  a  side  line,  not  because 
there  is  money  to  be  made  by  their  pro¬ 
duction,  but  because  they  are  a  sort  of 
necessary  evil  when  raising  pullets  for 
layers.  Hundreds  of  thousands  of  these 
cull  cockerels  are  dumped  on  the  markets 
of  the  United  States  every  year  as  soon 
as  they  will  weigh  from  three-fourths  to 
a  pound  and  a  half  each,  and  sold  at  less 
than  the  cost  of  production  ;  so  the  man 
who  starts  out  to  raise  broilers  for  a 
living  is  up  against  this  competition, 
especially  if  he  sells  his  broilers  on  the 
New  York  wholesale  market,  as  most  of 
them  are  marketed.  Of  course,  if  yon 
have  a  special  Summer  resort  or  hotel 
trade,  it  is  possible  to  make  a  fair  profit 
during  the  rush  season,  which  usually 
lasts  only  a  couple  of  months  at  most,  if 
you  are  located  where  you  can  handle 
the  distribution  yourself,  and  not  depend 
on  dealers  or  peddlers  to  sell  them  for 
you.  The  dealer's  profit  in  this  line  of 
goods  runs  all  the  way  from  25  to  100 
per  cent,  so  it  is  quite  necessary  to  mar¬ 
ket  your  own  produce  if  you  expect  to 
make  any  money.  Growing  broilers  all 
the  year  around  is  quite  a  different  prop¬ 
osition,  however,  as  you  are  tip  against 
a  shortage  of  hatchable  eggs  during  the 
Fall  and  early  Winter  months,  during 
which  time  they  are  high  in  price,  and 
the  weather  is  usually  very  cold  and  un¬ 
favorable  for  making  quick  growth,  and 
you  have  to  fight  all  the  ailments  and 
pests  of  the  poultry  yard,  which  are 
always  with  us,  but  seem  to  flourish  ex¬ 
ceedingly  well  when  broiler  prices  are 
highest.  Rut,  to  my  mind,  the  most  dis¬ 
couraging  part  of  it  is  to  offer  first-class, 
fresh-killed  broilers  for  sale  at  00  cents 
per  pound  and  meet  with  the  competition 
of  cold  storage  stock,  which  are  often 
sold  as  fresh-killed  at  OS  cents  per  pound, 
or  about  in  that  proportion.  I  had  ex¬ 
actly  this  experience  only  yesterday,  so  I 
am  not  talking  theory.  C.  s.  G.

tors.  They  had  won.  Mingled  with  the 
thought  of  their  dead  was  the  glory  of 
success.  There  was  nothing  of  that  spirit 
about  these  men  before  the  court  house. 
They  fought  well,  did  all  that  men  could 
for  their  cause,  but  they  must  carry  to 
their  grave  the  sting  of  defeat.  They  were 
silent  and  sullen.  Men  who  seemed  so 
friendly  yesterday  looked  at  me  with  no 
kindly  eye.  I  could  not  blame  them.  1 
knew  just  how  they  felt.  A  young  fellow 
of  about  my  own  age,  with  whom  I  was 
more  than  friendly,  put  his  hand  on  my 
shoulder  and  said  kindly  : 
“Say,  old  man,  take  my  advice  and  go 
home.  This  is  no  place  for  you,  right 
now.  We  know  you  and  will  stand  by 
you,  but  some  of  these  crackers  and  hill¬ 
billies  don’t  know  you  as  we  do.  They 
don’t  like  where  you  came  from,  and  this 
is  a  hard  day  for  them  !’’ 
It  was  good  advice  and  well  meant,  and 
I  never  pretended  to  be  the  sort  of  a  hero 
who  stands  on  the  line  of  danger  just  be¬ 
cause  he  takes  a  dare.  1  was  just  at  the 
point  of  leaving  when  a  rough  hand 
caught  me  by  the  shoulder  and  turned  me 
around  it-  w.  c.
