Once you have good foundation stock lt’s a ver'y easy matter to test t out any low egg capacity liens if you lare equipped with Walter Hoagan's ` charts--and only the best hens should be used to breed front the following year. Now comes the male bird. The male bird is half the flock at breeding ‘season and too many people think that any old thing that ctin crow is all that's necesary. lt' you have a 200-egg hen and use it 100-egg rooster your pullets will likely drop buck to the 150-egg capac- ity or lowen-so be careful about the male bird you use. Study your chart for capacity, type anr propotency and don't fall down in your mating.

IMPORTANT POI-NTS IN HATCHING CHICKENS During the hatching time tht- poiiltry house and particularly the ne.-rt should be kept clean. Clean water and ti supply of whole grain :-rlrould bc assible to the sittcrs and ii dust birth should be provided -also. lt' rnorc than one hatch is being taken off, clczin out and disinfect the nest after- :inch lrritcli anti' put new sod and fresh litter. Dust tlte lien wltli powd- er before putting her in the nest and again a day or two before leaving the nests with the chlckcris. It is a good plan to put into lite dust dry sulphur or ground tobacco. _Be sure rrlso that the -house is frcc from mites. These little pests get in- to' the cracks anti corners of the build- ing anti at night. as the hens are rest- ing, they come out of their lilrlirru place, get on the lren's body and it does not take very many of them to make u lien so uneasy that she cannot sit. In some cases the mites ber-,oinc so troublesome that they iictually wol'r'y thc liens to death. Clean out the house and thoroughly sweep. not forgetting the windows. walls ami ceiling. Wlieir this is ull swept out clean, use ti gurderi hose or stiff brush and bot water. See that everything in the cracks and crevices is washed out. After this is done allow the house to dry for u while and ii` everything then appears to be clean, use a good rllsinfcctant and be sure that the solution is forced by the spray or brush right into the crack.= and crevices, lf the mites are bad. use boiling water followed by coal oll and a. liquid' lice paint. Be sure that this goes into the cracks and crevices and when you have gone over your house thoroughly according to the above treatment ln all probability the mites will be exterininated but it is ut’.'visabIe in the course oi’ three or t'our days again to inspect for 'the mites and perhaps to repeat the dose once more. ooooooooooooooooooo Q- 4 .|.
