Choice of Breed Depends 
on Market 
{Continued, from page 10If) 
factory. I consider the large breeds far 
ahead of the Leghorn for table use and it 
is very easy to raise a few for that especial 
purpose, but as it is eggs we want, many 
large white eggs that command the high¬ 
est market price, the White Leghorn is 
without question the breed for us.— 
Mrs. H. B. McK., New York. 
WHY I PREFER WHITE 
WYANDOTTES 
F OR five years we have raised White 
Wyandotte hens. We like them for 
many reasons. They are strong healthy 
chickens to raise, are very quiet and easy 
to handle. They make fine broilers. 
Their feathers are nicer to use than 
Leghorns or colored hens. . When the 
hens are dressed for market, they are 
fine yellow-skinned fowls. If pin feathers 
stick and cannot be removed, they do not 
spoil the looks of the fowl as do colored 
They are good winter layers. 
ones. 
With a small flock of them on hand, one 
need never be without eggs as they lay 
fine the year through. Some of them are 
always on the job. They are good setters 
and good mothers but are not such per¬ 
sistent setters but that they are easily 
broken up.—Mrs. E. M. C., New York. 
WE COUNT OUR CHICKS BE¬ 
FORE THEY’RE HATCHED 
1 AST year we were pretty much up 
against it along about hatching time 
and our experience has made up our 
minds for us for evermore. You will recall * 
what an awful winter we had. Well, 
spring was late coming ’round and before 
we knew it, hatching time was on us and 
we didn’t have a single setting hen. We 
have always hatched our chicks fairly 
early, not too early, but early enough to 
get good growth before they go into win¬ 
ter quarters. Last year it looked as 
though we were in for a disappointment. 
Hens are a mighty unreliable lot anyway. 
They will fly across the road in front of an 
automobile without a moment’s hesitation 
when it would be a lot safer to stand still. 
I have seen them race a car for some dis¬ 
tance and finally fetch up in a thicket 
with more commotion than a dozen should 
be capable of. 
Well, to get back to baby chicks. It 
got quite late. Several days passed. My 
wife kept saying that perhaps the big 
Barred Rock would set soon, she always 
did her setting early. Putting it off soon 
meant that a couple of weeks had slipped 
by and we soon should have chicks, let 
alone only setting the eggs. Finally I got 
desperate and said I was going to town to 
buy me an incubator. But our local 
dealer had sold the last one a few days 
before. That left me without anything. 
As a Last Resort 
It was then that I thought of trying 
day-old chicks. We had never bought 
any but we made up our minds that we 
would try it once anyway. We wrote to 
several places, got prices and a lot of 
catalogs and literature. Finally we 
picked one that looked good to us as far 
as we could tell on paper. This particular 
man said his breeders were specially se¬ 
lected birds. I had heard the farm 
bureau man say something about se¬ 
lected birds at one of our.district meet¬ 
ings so I told my wife I thought we would 
try that dealer. Then we saw some ads. 
in another farm paper we take and there 
were several there that mentioned se¬ 
lected breeders. Before we finished we 
divided our order into four parts and in-
