3 LEGS OF SUCCESS
By C. B. JOHNSON
Count your chicks before they are
hatched, for it can be done by giving
hens what they need for building eggs
that will hatch.
Greater hatchibility

have a chance with any
he’s out of the shell. Every chick that
doesn’t hatch is a lost opportunity—
a lost opportunity at six weeks when
the chick should be ready
into a real money-making bird, a lost
opportunity next fall when those ex-
pected extra pullets are missing that
would put extra dollars into your
pocket. The profits made next fall
are largely dependent upon the care
given that ‘spark of life” while it is
still in the egg.

Three Point Program
Breeding, feeding and weeding—
those are the three legs of success in
producing eggs that will hatch. To
begin with, good stock is a prime re-
quisite No one can expect first-class
hatching eggs from second-rate birds.
A thrifty, vigorous flock of high- pro-
ducing birds will lay hatching eggs
that hold vast opportunities. Diseas-
ed, weak hens can't do that.
Culling is highly important in main-
taining a profitable breeding flock.
The poor layers, the weak birds, all
diseased fowls, scrubs, and other ab-
normalities should be weeded out.
Only the best birds should be kept.
The old adage, “Like produces like”
All roosters should
be examined carefully to make sure
. they are in good health before mating
them with the hens.
Ten to fourteen days before eggs
are saved for hatching the males
should be placed with the hens. Two
weeks are required for the sperm cells
to travel up the ovary and fertilize the
eggs.
Vitamins Give Vigor, Vitality
All confined breeding hens need cod
liver oil in their ration to get a suf-
ficient amount of Vitamin D to meet
their needs. Vitamin D plays a big
part in giving enough stamina to live
after they are hatched. The ideal feed
for breeding fowls ‘also contains dried
milk, for its Vitamin G content. Re-
sistance to disease, colds and roup,
can also be partially built up for the
chick before he is hatched, if the
breeding hen gets from the feed her
needs for putting resistance into the
egg. Many fowl diseases—roup, bron-
chitis, colds, laryngotrachitis — get a
foothold in the flock because of a lack
of Vitamin A in the ration. Common
sources of Vitamin A for poultry are
alfalfa, yellow corn, and greens. In a
great many instances these are not
available in amounts sufficient to sup-
Ply all requirements. The result is
low vitality, lowered production and
decreased chances of good hatchabil-
ity. Eggs laid by hens with a Vita-
min A deficiency hatch out thin and
scrawny chicks, with hardly enough
strength to pip the shell, and many
do not hatch at all.
You can count your chicks before
they're hatched if you follow a good
feeding program that will provide an
adequate nourishment for the embryo
before it ever leaves the shell, ang for
the first few days after pipping . out.

HOW TO ‘' KISS THE
STONE: The photograph shows the
way to kiss the world-famous Blar-
ney Stone in Ireland. The stone is on
the outside of a high castle. “You
must be lowered 5 feet through a hole
in the roof,” R. H. Cochrane, of New
{York State, writes, ‘‘with someone
holding your legs. After you are
down far enough you must crane’
your neck upward and kiss the bot-'
tom of the stone.” Kissing the stone
is supposed to endow one with a
fluent tongue.
