stead of ordering from one party we 
bought from four. We made up our 
minds that we would just see how they 
differed. Well, when the chicks came 
they were really fine. It was great, they 
looked just as though they had come from 
under a hen. We put them all together 
and for the life of us we couldn’t tell them 
apart. They grew splendidly, we had a 
place for them that was nice and warm 
and clean, and we followed a feeding ration 
that one of our neighbors gave us. He 
uses a lot of milk for his chicks, claims that 
it is the greatest thing for growing birds. 
I believe it, for you should see my flock now. 
No Question About This Year 
Shall I buy or hatch this year? There 
is no question about it. I am not going 
to be bothered any more with a pesky hen 
leaving the nest or breaking eggs getting 
on and off the nest. No more such bother 
for me. Last year, in spite of all the delay 
waiting for a hen to make up her mind to 
set, we got our day-old chicks just as 
early as though our hens had started to set 
when we first wished they would. And 
when we ordered the chicks we got just 
as many as we ordered, so unlike a hen 
that sets on 15 eggs and brings off 10. 
Day-old chicks actually made it possible 
for us to count our chicks before they 
were hatched.—G. A. F., New York. 
MAN FACTOR MEANS MORE 
THAN BREED 
T DON’T know as breed has a great deal 
-*■ to do with success in the poultry busi¬ 
ness. Of course, it has its bearing, but it 
is not all. There are a lot of fellows going 
into the poultry business every year 
because they believe there is money in it 
as long as they pick the right breed, and 
so on. And in a couple of years there is 
another poultry farm for sale, “equip¬ 
ment almost new.” I’ll admit that if a 
fellow wants to get anywhere in the New 
York egg market he has got to keep birds 
that lay white eggs. Boston prefers a 
brown egg. But if he wants to make a 
success of the venture he has got to realize 
that it takes knowledge of the business, 
not a lot of information picked up from 
books and what “so-and-so told him.” 
He has got to have the real practical 
knowledge that comes from years of 
experience working with birds. 
The man-factor in the poultry business 
is, I believe, as important if not more 
important than any other. It makes no 
difference what breed is selected and it 
makes no difference how fine the hens 
are, if the practical knowledge is not 
there, neither is success in the offing. 
You can take the finest flock of certified 
layers, and if the managment is not of a 
caliber equal to the caliber of the hens, 
you might just as well expect success with 
a flock of English sparrows. 
A sizable flock of poultry takes a lot of 
work, especially during the winter. When 
anyone calls to see me during these days, 
the good wife tells the visitor, “you will 
find him in one of two places. He is 
either in the cow barn or in the hen¬ 
house.” There is plenty of work in both 
places.—C. H. M., New Jersey. 
HEAVIER BREEDS SUPERIOR 
IUE find this breed to be pretty, large, 
» ’ healthy, strong and vigorous. They 
are good layers, requiring little attention 
when allowed free range. They set well 
and make good mothers. The chicks de¬ 
velop rapidly so that it is not necessary 
to wait for them to get over half grown 
before they are large enough to eat or sell 
as broilers. Ours are usually ready in 12 or 
14 weeks which is far from the case with 
Leghorns. We consider the heavier breeds 
superior in every way.—W. H. H.,Virginia. 
QUALITY 
CHICKS 
The Secret of Their Success 
lies in the strong, vigorous, healthy stock from which we breed them. 
The parent birds are kept on free farm range with maximum liberty. This 
practically amounts to a reversion to natural conditions, insuring offspring 
that cannot fail to bring unusually profitable results. 
No wonder our chicks live and thrive, maturing early with the pullets quickly 
getting down to the business of producing eggs in a manner that has always 
surprised as well as pleased our thousands of customers. Repeat orders year 
after year from numerous patrons have built this business from 5000 annual 
chick capacity to our present 2 , 000,000 annual production.
