WHA T DA Y-OLD CHICKS MEAN
TO THE POULTRY INDUSTRY
An Application of the Great
Principle of Specialization

Growers Who Want the

By M. IJ. CHAPMAN
Judge, Breeder and Writer
Commercial baby chick lintciting is
not a modern industry, in the strict
sense of tlio term, though in recent
years it lias become very popular, and
one of the foremost brunches ol' poul
try culture. hatcheries
were in vogue long before the Chris
tian era. Historians tell us the Egyp
t Jans made it a business to hatch and
.supply day-old chicks to farmers, who
often traveled long distances for them.
Baby chick hatcheries were also very
active in China centuries ago. Tile
methods of these ancients, however,
were of considerable difference. It was
the practice in Egypt to place eggs for
hatching oil the floor of a ca\c-like
building and supply the heat from an
adjoining room. In China the eggs
were placed in large baskets or jars,
carefully covered, and then set aside
to receive the action of the heat of
the sun.
A few years ago, shortly after the
perfection of mammoth incubators
heated by hot water, with capacities
up to 20,000 eggs for a single machine,
commercial baby chick hatcheries
were started in this country. These
mammoth incubators made it possible
to hatch chicks economically, and
poultrymen were quick to take advan

OLD-FASHIONED TEA PARTY
Wiconlseo, Pa., Jan. 20. —On Mon
day evening, January 29, the Ladies'
Aid society of the Methodist Episcopal
church will hold an "old-fashioned
tea party."—John H. Kelly was in
jured at Short Mountain colliery on
Tuesday.—Mr. and Mrs. Harper Kin

day at the home of John H. Seip.—

to Harrisburg.—A. H. Erdman made
a trip to Palmyra Thursday.—Mr. and
tage of them. To-day there arc farms
with incubators having a capacity of
over 200,000 eggs.
The baby chick hatchery has now
become a standard department in the
poultry industry and farms which are
making reputations for their output
are putting their best efforts into this
branch of the business. The founda
tion of the baby chick hatchery must
have been made many years ago.
Special attention to breeding stock is
essential to success. Its care and man
agement is vital from the standpoint
of profits, because the better the con
dition of the flocks, so in proportion
will be the output of strong, healthy
chicks.
Chick Producers are Specialists ■
Besides being a specialist in incu
bating, the successful baby chick pro
ducer must be a practical poultryman
with thorough knowledge of all other
branches of the industry. These
specialists in incubating have spent
years in the hatching department.
They have made a study of the cli
matic conditions affecting the proper
working of their incubators in con
nection with the regulation of mois
ture and ventilation. They adjust their
incubators until they will turn out the
maximum number of chicks. A care
ful study of the conditions affecting
the proper hatching of the eggs re
ceives their constant attention. With
out perfect eggs, in perfect condition,
it is useless to begin hatching. To
hatch strong, healthy chicks the eggs
must be selected for size, shape and
condition of the shell. These features
affect their hatching qualities to a
marked degree. A thorough method
of gathering and storing the eggs be
fore incubating is another feature
which must be guarded if best results
arc to be obtained.

lecting eggs for hatching and the suc

cessful growth of the baby chick. It
is °wing to this factor that the baby
chick industry has grown into favor,
because it is absolutely necessary to
have eggs of high fertility and strong
germinating power to make the baby
chick department a paying proposition.
Strong, healthy, vigorous breeding
stock is the only means of securing
eggs of high fertility, with strong
germinating properties. And it is upon
the quality of their breeding stock that
the reputation of the farm rests. Buy
ers of baby chicks have learned to
look for this quality.
To conserve tlie'health of the flock
it must be kept under sanitary con
ditions, in houses so constructed that
not only the health of the bird is main
tained, but the maximum egg yield is
produced. The feed must be stimu
lating, highly nutritious and of such
quality that the strength and health
of the fowl are maintained during the
season of producing eggs for hatching.
Thus it will bo seen the producer of
baby chicks must be a poultryman
possessed of an intimate working
knowledge of all branches of the in
dustry.
Because of the rigid requirements
of the successful baby chick producer
this branch of the industry is bound to
grow larger each year. It will relieve
the small poultryman of the necessity
of maintaining a hatching depart
ment with its losses and disappoint
ments. It gives the amateur the re
sult of the stock, equipment and ex
perience of the expert, and places him
in a position to secure any number of
chicks, of any variety, at almost any
season of the year, and at a nominal
cost. These advantages must be rec
ognized. At the present writing there
are farms which previously kept a
breeding flock and produced their own
chicks which are now replenishing
their laying flock with baby chicks
from the commercial hatcheries.
Other farms have closed out their
equipment to raising pullets and broil
stock and have devoted their entire
ers. They are termed pullet raisers.
These poultrymen secure their stock
from the commercial hatcheries and
brood the chicks. Later the pullets
are segregated and graded for sale,
while the cockerels are specially fat
tened for the broiler trade. The pul
lets are sold at any age desired by the
buyer. This branch of the poultry in
dustry is finding favor among women
situated in the suburban and rural

Sixty Three Years Editor
and Newspaper Publisher
Dr -
HENRY FRYSINGER
Lewistown, Pa., Jan. 20. —Henry
Fry-singer edited and published a
newspaper for 63 years, a record few
ever reach. Twenty-five of his years
in newspaper work were spent at
Lewistown. Mr. Frysinger was born
on the ninth day of October, 1830, at
Hanover, York county. Pa. At the
age of 14 he learned to set type in the
Hanover Herald office, a paper pub
lished by his uncle, George Frysinger.
At 15 he was employed in the Han
over Spectator office, and at 16 he
came with his uncle, George Frysinger,
and family to Liewistown where the
uncle bought the Gazette plant. He
remained in Lewistown a couple of
years, and then was a journeyman
printer two years in Baltimore and
Washington. He re-started the Han
over Herald in January, 1850, and
sold it In April of the same year and
returned to Washington to resume
work there. About the first of Janu
ary, 1852, he was sent to Lock Haven
to take charge of the Clinton Demo
crat and in November, 1854, he bought
.ie l ru<- Democrat plant in Lewis
town. This paper he published for
twenty-five years. The Delaware
County Democrat at Chester was
placed in his hands about August 25,
187 9, which he edited and published
for thirty-six years. It was then solrl
by its owners, along with his interest,

singer retired two years ago. He is
still in good health.
sections wlio have not the room nor
the equipment to maintain a breeding
flock.
How ( liicks Are Shipped
The uniform safety with which
chicks may be shipped is another fac
tor in favor of the development of the
baby chick industry. Baby chicks may
be shipped any distance provided the
destination is reached within thirty
six hours. It is not the distance in
miles, so much as the time required,
which affects the safety of the chicks.
Baby chicks should not be fed during
the first thirty-six hours. During this
period they should be kept quiet and
allowed to sleep. At the hatcheries
the chicks are packed in boxes ven
tilated in such a manner as to provide
comfortable quarters for the chicks,
and unless they are roughly handled
or placed where they will be subject to
draughts or intense heat the chicks
will be perfectly comfortable and
hearty when they reach their destina
tion.
Most farms guarantee safe arrival
of chicks, and will make good any
which are dead or badly trampled on
arrival at the express office of the
purchaser. The box should be opened
in the presence of the express agent.
While the express companies are not
liable for the condition of the chicks,
they are liable for the condition of the
carrier. If it is broken or shows signs
of rough handling, a note of the con
dition should be made on signing for
the delivery.
Farms are usually very careful
about the chicks they ship, and send
only strong, vigorous ones, for the rea
son that they guarantee safe arrival.
Chicks which are not strong will not
survive the journey, in consequence
they will he a source of annoyance
and expense.
Napoleon once said, "The secret
of victory is to bring on the re
serves in the crisis of the battle."
Midwinter marks the crisis of the
poultryman's fight. He has need
of all his reserve resources at this
time. I>et him bring them into ac
tion. There are no profound se
crets about the industry. It is a
matter of common sense. Next
week's article will remind you of
some of these factors.

Eczema Is Conquered
Greasy salves and ointments should
not be applied if good clear skin is
wanted. From any druggist for 25c or
SI.OO for extra large size, get a bottle
of zemo. When applied as directed, it
effectively removes eczema, quickly
stops itching, and heals skin troubles,
also sores, burns, wounds and chafing.
It penetrates, cleanses and soothes.
Zemo is a clean, dependable and inex
pensive, penetrating, antiseptic liquid.
Try it, as we believe nothing you have
ever used is as effective and satisfying.
