The Egg Factor in Raising Chickens 
(Continued from 'page ISO) 
warm will evaporate the contents of the 
egg to such an extent that the chick will 
be so small at the end of the incubation 
period, it is unable to exert pressure 
enough to free itself from the shell. The 
embryo during the period of incubation 
purifies its blood through the blood ves¬ 
sels that come in contact with the shell of 
the egg, and in eggs that are dirty or 
soiled the pores are so clogged that the 
embryo usually dies from lack of oxygen. 
One more factor we take into consider¬ 
ation in selecting our hatching, and that 
is, having the eggs of uniform size, shape, 
color and texture of shell. We have found 
by doing this that each year we have 
more eggs that will grade as Extras and 
Firsts from our flocks. 
Points to Consider in Buying 
Hatching Eggs 
If we are to depend upon hens to hatch 
eggs that we buy we must order them 
shipped when we know we will have 
plenty of broody hens, as the eggs deterio¬ 
rate very rapidly, but if we expect to use 
incubators we need only to have them 
ready for the eggs. 
It is well to lfet the eggs stand 24 hours 
after we receive them to allow the fibers 
that hold the germ in place to return to 
normal position after being jarred by 
rough handling in shipment. 
We insist that the eggs be fresh, uni¬ 
form in size, shape, color and from high 
producing strains of pure-bred poultry. 
We can get these necessary qualities by 
buying only from good reliable breeders. 
SHALL I BUY OR HATCH MY 
CHICKS? 
T HERE is one question that every 
poultry raiser must work out for 
himself. Persons that do not have the 
room necessary to keep breeders to 
produce their own hatching eggs or ones 
wishing to work into purebred poultry, 
will find that they can purchase chicks 
of very good quality by buying from 
reliable persons or hatcheries. Some of 
our largest commercial egg farms depend- 
upon the hatcheries for their chicks. 
If we had a flock of poultry with ex¬ 
ceptionally good qualities, we would 
hatch our own chicks, providing we had 
the time, space and the equipment for 
doing it. If we want only a few chicks 
we find that the hen is a good reliable 
way to hatch them, but if we want a 
large number of early hatched chicks we 
must depend upon incubators or buy the 
baby chicks, and unless we have a good 
incubator and understand running it, 
we would rather buy the chicks ready 
made; we can at least expect full count.— J 
W. L. D., New York. 
WOULD NOT GO BACK TO 
HATCHING 
W E don’t keep a very large flock.' 
At least we don’t think it is very 
large compared to most of the farmers’ 
’round about. We live on the edge of 
the village and keep just enough hens to 
supply our family needs and a couple of 
families in town. It all helps these days 
and the price of eggs has been very satis¬ 
factory this year. 
We have a small place and as I am not 
home during the day it falls pretty hard 
on my wife to bother with an incubator. 
The housework takes all her time. For 
that reason we have never hatched our 
chicks by hen or by incubator. First 
we used to hire our hatching done, but 
that was not satisfactory because the 
man who did it (or didn’t it) always ran
