First Aid” for Eggs 
(Continued from, page 579) 
the hens I took particular pains to turn 
the egg around to see that the tape was on 
securely. 
A good many times my husband and I 
argued the^ matter over, and I must con¬ 
fess I didn’t much believe a tiny strip of 
tape would do the work. 
Nevertheless the day finally came when 
the eggs began to hatch, I made numerous 
trips to the chicken-house, but the taped 
egg gave no sign of the coming event. 
. Howevbr, the next morning I found my 
nice little brood of turks, lively as could 
be, even the taped egg had hatched. 
Strange to say there was one White turk 
among them, and we often wondered if it 
came from the cracked egg. 
Why We Turned to Brown 
Leghorns 
Edna M. Northrup 
'T'WO years ago we decided to double 
our flock of about a hundred hens and 
at the same time to change from White 
Leghorns to Brown. The hawks’ nest 
in the woods on either side of our little 
valley and the white chicks made an easy 
mark for them as they soared overhead 
on the lookout for something to eat. 
We read somewhere that hawks could 
not see the colored chipkens as readily as 
the white ones and it sounded reasonable, 
so we decided to try it. Hence the 
change and as we shipped eggs to New 
City we wanted a breed that laid 
eggs, therefore the Brown Leg- 
We could not see why they would 
Lilt III. 
Accordingly we ordered 100 baby chicks 
y mail and they arrived May 26. They 
ere a fine bunch and did splendidly. We 
>st only a few of them and they made 
large hens. We were a little late with 
another order for 150 to another hatchery 
and delivery was not made until the latter 
part of June and the chicks proved infe¬ 
rior in nearly every way to the first lot. 
We had about eighty pullets when they 
were put into winter quarters in one end 
of the barn that was partitioned off for 
them. We got the first egg November 16 
and in a short time the first lot was laying 
at the rate of 50 per cent, and kept at it. 
A good many of the second lot were culled 
out last summer. Last year we ordered 
our chickens all at once and when they 
were ready to lay in the early winter our 
eighty pullets made a fine showing, being 
more uniform in size than the first year’s. 
Some people complain of Brown Leg¬ 
horns being wild, but we have not found 
them so. Very much depends on the 
handling. 
A Flock That Paid Its Way 
TN the fall of 1923, my mother had 304 
A March hatched cockerels. She sent 54 
of them (Buff Orpingtons) to the local 
poultry house, where she received 18 
cents per pound. 
(< “You’re foolish,” my father told her, 
“to sell those fine birds at that price, 
when there are people who would buy 
them for breeding purposes.” 
So she advertised them at $2.50 and $3 
each. She was literally swamped with 
orders and couldn’t fill one-half of them. 
She has over 1000 baby chicks now, and 
will have more hatched off later. 
She has only the one breed, and they 
are allowed an extensive farm range. 
She says, as long as she continues to 
handle pure-bred poultry, that she will 
continue to advertise them. They eat 
just as much as a scrub chicken—but they 
pay more, she said and I agree with her. 
Do you?— Pauline Carmen.
