The pullet that is hatched early ma tures early and is ready to lay eggs in the fall when the supply is scarcest and prices highest Chickens that are expected to be revenue producers for their own ners in the year should be out of their shells by April 30 at the latest. If they are properly cared for thereafter they will be gin to lay eggs at the very time that eggs are most wanted. To a great extent the poultry- men of the country have over looked this simple fact. For one thing, birds hatched later in the SDrioir or summer are not w inclined to become broody m . - unti 1 late the following season an thus an unprofitable circle is formed. Each year pullets ma ture too late to produce in the fall and winter, and they sit too late for their offspring to do any better. The roultrvman who wishes to get really good return from bis flock mu&t break this circle The growing use of incubators has made this comparatively easier. There is no reason why incubators should not be tilled in March and early April and the batching over before May 1. If no incubator is available it may be possible to secure broody hen in the neighborhood. Mellott Mr. Chester L. Mellott, son o f Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Mellott. of Needmore. R. 1. and Miss Edith M.
