The great trouble with the poultry business has always been th t the laying life ofa hen was too short says Henry Tratiord.International Poultry Expert and Breeder, fo r

nearly eighteen years Editor of Poultry Suc0:55.

The average pullet l ys 150 eggs. If keptthe second year, she may lay 100 more.Then she goes to market. Yet, i t has beensc ient i f ica l ly established that every pullet isborn or hatched with over one thousandminute egg germs in her system—and will'la y them on a highly protable basis over aperiod of four t o s ix years time if givenproper care.

How to work t o get 1,000 eggs from everyhen ; how to get pullers laying early; how

[t o make the old hens la y like pul le ts : howto keep up heavy egg production all through

cold winter months when eggs are highest;triple egg production; make slacker hensbustle; 5.00 profit from every hen in sixwinter months. These and many other money

making poultry sec re t s are contained in Mr.Traf ford‘s “1.000 EGG HEN system ofpoultry raising, one copy of which will besent absolutely f ree to any reader of thispaper who keeps six hens or more. Eggsshould go to a dollar or more a dozen thiswinter. This means big prot to the poultrykeeper who gets the eggs. Mr. Traffordtells how.

The small breeder who hasjustafew

good birds to sell often makes the mistake of sacr icing them at home or onthe market. A small c la ss i ed a d ve rtisement in a good poultry magazinewill help him sell those birds and getwhat they are really worth. Do notsell good birds on the market. Thismonth and January are the months t oadver t i se such birds fo r sale. et r i dof them before the pens must bemated up.

Another mistake most beginnersmake i s to use inferior birds i n t h e i rbreeding pens because they only havea few extra good ones . As a matterof fact they will be vastly better off.

will make much better progress i f theywill be content to raise chicks onlyfrom t he few good ones . One doesnot absolutely need ten hens for eachmale . If he has only four good henshe can shut the male up part of eachday. Do not raise scrubs . Breed f romyour best only. Not how many buthow good should be the program.

Be sure to attend the neares t bigpoultry show this season . Take i n l lthe nearby smaller winter shows t o o ,t ha t you possibly can. Enter a few o f

You will know more aboutyour favori te breed at the close of t h rseason than you ever did before.
