POULTRY EXPERTS SAY
BETTER BREEDING IS
BIG HELP TO LAYING
Exhibitors at the Show Discuss
Methods of Obtaining
More Eggs From
Fowls
$a,nreon,, Rrn "ereler: ihlrtl. William O.
HENS AVERAGE 70 A YEAR
possible to Raise Number to 200,
Says H. D. Rtloy, President
of Association
"The yea'ly eS product of tho United
Utts Is t7.0,000.
"Better breeding will doublo the out
put" A ihm with theso words on It linngs
la front of tho coop In which Lsidv r.s
Uuntine, worlds chnmplon cgs lajfr, Is
being exhibited at tho Poultry Show In
th Metropolitan Building-, Brond and
TV(Jlac etreets. In the. opinion of tho
oWeken experts It tells n. great funda
mtnlal truth of Interest to every poultry
raiser.
Better breeding', tho experts say, It tho
way to success. And from tho fleruros
that omo of them giro It appoars that
. fares proportion of farmers are not
fssiklne money ifrom their csks, despite
the hUrh price that they brinff In tho
market
If raisers of poultry -would Blvo morn
ittentlon to breeding, It Is pointed out,
there would bo a tremendous reduction
In' the number of cold storapo crr-j
which Mrs. Housekeeper Is now forced to
ttiy. They assert, however, that tho In
crease In production would not lower tho
-rin to the consumer because of tho
rreat demand for fresh prrs.
Government figures show that the nvcr
1,1 hen lays TO eggs a year. According
to Henry D. Itlley, president of the I'hll
idelphla Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock
Auocl&tlon, under tho auspices of which
the show Is being held, a man loses
money unless his hens average 150 eggi
Mr. Riley thinks It possible to raise tho
average production of hens to more thnn
200 a year. For that reason ho regards
the work which has been carried on nt
Eglantine Farm so Important.
"Lady Eglantine Is tho product of hrnrt
treefclnr efforts to estnbllih a strain of
llrds that would make, our egg farm
profitable and that would acquit them
lelvcs creditably In contests with other
iMers," asserts tho Eglantlno Vnrms cir
cular being distributed at tho show. The
experts all ngreo that It Is a hard, aiilu
us task, requiring great patlenco nntl
effort, to raise layers of this type. Liidv
Eglantine Is tho product of an rffort
itretcbed over many years of careful
meting of tho beBt breeders year after
year.'
The Eglantine circular says:
"First The 200-cgg hen Is almost stand
ardized. "Becond. The IBO-egg hen can he pro
duced In Increasing numbers and held
In necessary vigor as tho years go by.
"Third. Tho SOO-egg hen Is a rara avis,
ibout whose frequent development wo
hao yet to learn. But sho can bo pro
duced bscauso sho hao been."
Lady Eglantlno's record Is 314 eggs In
lio dai'B.
"It Is possible to ralso tho average num
ber of eggs," said Mr. Itlley. "It Is not
(Mslblo to raise hens that lay 314 eggs
a year now, because that's phenomenal.
But It Is possible to ralso hens that will
iTerago 160 eggs, for without that pro
tection egg raising docs not pay. It Is
poeslble to do this on any farm, If you
to to tho trouble of developing puro
Irufls and trapnestlng."
Tnumestlng means to arrange tho coops
to that when the ben mounts the nest It
It not released until It lays, an egg. If
this Is done a record of the hen hatched
from the egg Is kept by punching holes in
the foot of the bird ns a meaiiH of Iden
tification and mating the best layers.
"It wilt bo a big thing to tho raiser
tf eggs If he can Increase his product,
but eggs will never get cheaper, becauso
the demand will novor lessen. But It will
be possible for more people to get fresh
eggs then, and It will mean more money
to the farmer."
There Is some egg laying going on
at the poultry show now. Each day
about 100 eggs are collected from the
hens entered In the show. Lndy Eglan
tine, however. Is not laying. Sho Is moult
lag iust now, and will not lay for several
weeks, It Is thought.
The possibility of Increasing the egg
output Is one of the pet topics of con
versation. It was discussed ngnln last
nlgnt at the meeting of the Order of the
Fleas. The Fleas Is an association of
poultry men, and gets Its name from the
first letters of the words, friendship, love,
ecsnomy and assistance.

I THE GENUINE PIANOLA E HEPPE PIANO I
Three Eitraordieary Gifts
It is not Christmas without a Tree and Music
Music is the Merry part of Christmas. Surely then a Musical
Christmas gift is doubly appropriate and of musical gifts nowhere in
Philadelphia can you find a nobler or grander selection of world-famous
instruments than at the House that Heppe built.
Genuine Pianolas
The Pianola is the master player-piano, used and
recommended by such pianists as Paderewski, used in the
courts of luirope, and unanimously selected by the fore
most Americans.
Player-Pianos, so-called, arc not Pianolas. There is
but one Pianola, made exclusively by the Aeolian Company,
and obtainable only in certain pianos, which are on sale
only at standard fixed prices at certain appointed agencies
throughout the world.
The Aeolian Family
of the Player-Piano world
is on sale at Heppe's and includes
The Steinu-ay Pianola, $1 150 The Weber Pianola, $1000
The U'heehck Pianola, $750 The Stroud Pianola, $5?0
Francesea-IIeppe Player-Pianos, $450
, Aeolian Player-Pianos, $395
Victrolas
The Victrola needs no introduction. Its marvelous
musical powers are known all over the werld. At Heppe's
you may purchase any Victor outfit at the cash prices and
settle by cash or charge acount, or our rental-payment
plan, by which all rent applies to your purchase, without
any extra interest charges for this privilege. We deliver
free anywhere in the United States.
The complete Victor Line
is on sale at Heppe's, and includes
Victrola IV, $15 Victrola VI, $25
Victrola VIII, $40 Victrola IX, $50
Victrola X, $75 Victrola XI. $100
Victrola XIP. $150 Victrola XVI, $200
Victrola XVIII. $300
Heppe Pianos
The Heppe Piano is known all over the world as the
"three-sounding-board" piano. Heppe Pianos have TPFREE
sounding boards all other upright pianos have but ONE.
These extra sounding boards give the Heppe Pianos 1200
square inches more than the average piano, producing a
tone very similar to a grand piano.
The Heppe line of Pianos
in upright and grand styles includes
The IVeber. $550 up
The II. C. Schomacker, $350 up
The Edouard Jules, $315
The Heppe, $365 up
The Marcellus, $325
The Francesco, $275
The Heppe Rental-Payment Plan
For those who do not care to make a cash settlement or to open a
charge account, we have arranged "a rental-payment" plan, whereby you
may secure the instrument you desire at a small rental rate and apply all
payments to the purchase of your instrument. Catalogues and full
particulars of this plan, together with a complete schedule of its terms,
will be sent on request, or fully explained if you call at either of our stores.
