Davis famous strain of heavy producing White Leghorns. 
During the past 16 years I have bred for size, vigor and 
production. My chicks are hatched by the latest im¬ 
proved incubators, and quickly develop into prolific 
layers of large white eggs. Parent stock bred to 2o0 to 
315 egg strain. Quality chicks every time with us.

Our Record with White Leghorns 
{Continued from page f()7) 
fine sand charcoal, grit and oyster shells. 
I do not buy the grit but use the fine 
gravel and coarse sand, of which we have 
plenty on our place. 
Don’t Hatch Too Early 
I use a 350-egg incubator and the first 
eggs are hatched about the first week in 
March. We can have these chicks come 
off too early; in fact, I have had them 
come off earlier than they really should. 
These early hatched pullets especially, 
if they are grown rapidly, and I wouldn t. 
have them grow any other way, will molt 
early and then will not lay all winter. 
Last year my early pullets were hatched 
the first of April, and the first egg was 
laid the 30th of August. You will see that 
the first egg was laid five months from 
hatching time. This year the first cock¬ 
erel crowed when he was forty days old, 
and weighed 14 ounces. And here I 
believe I have won out through these 
years of raising poultry. These early 
developers are, to my mind, not neces¬ 
sarily the small birds but are the ones 
that can take the food and make the most 
out of it under the conditions. Either 
this or else they are the ones that are 
more ambitious, forage more and hence 
get more food. It doesn’t make any 
particular difference which one it is or 
whether it is a combination of both of 
them. The fact is that the early develop¬ 
ing pullet is the one that lays first and 
hence starts to bring in some income, and 
the early cockerel is the fellow that sires 
early-producing pullets, if we may be¬ 
lieve that like produces like. Develop¬ 
ment of a cockerel may be judged by his 
crow and I usually mark and save out for 
our own use the first three that crow. Of 
course if they are poor specimens, I do 
not keep them but I have usually found 
that these early developers are as good as 
any of those that develop later and nine 
cases out of ten one will not be far wrong 
in this assumption.

Combating Common Chick 
Diseases 
W. L. Dickson 
B ABY chicks are subject to many dis¬ 
eases, undoubtedly due to the mod¬ 
ern methods used in the raising of poul¬ 
try. We have bred and forced our flocks 
year after year for high egg production at 
the expense of vitality to a certain ex¬ 
tent. We are bound to meet failure 
sooner or later unless we are careful to 
choose breeders with plenty of constitu¬ 
tional vigor. 
Sick Chicks a Menace 
In raising chicks it seldom pays to 
bother with sick or weak ones as they are 
a menace to the rest of the flock. One 
rule that every poultry raiser should fol¬ 
low is, never let a chick die on your place. 
Kill it first and burn the carcass. We 
should aim for prevention more than 
cure. Should we find chicks that are dis¬ 
eased we examine our methods of man¬ 
agement, the houses, yards, feed and 
remove the cause. The sick chicks are 
removed from the rest, and houses, yards 
and drinking-pans are disinfected. The 
following are some of the causes of disease 
in baby chicks, crowding, chilling, over¬ 
heating, dampness, drafts, unsanitary 
drinking-pans and surroundings, damaged 
or decayed food, lice, mites, insufficient 
ventilation and sun-light in houses, over¬ 
feeding and neglect. _ . 
Ordinary diarrhea is a disease that is 
very common in baby chicks, resulting 
from some of the following causes lice, 
mites, crowding, chilling, over-heating,
