By J. A. Stackhouse, Agent Do I Want Mairh or Audi Chicks! An ever inoreu*liiK num'- r oi mm nre findins tl»nl itn- comnnretnl epK bust ness is one which flls very well into Cape May County's ARrirulniiv. The quest ion olten ash'sl Is: how shall 1 best Bel Marled and Keep under way’ Shall I hoy March hatched chicks or Apiil hatched

chicks?

Both Match and April hatched chicks hat. their place in Cape May County. Weie it not for the fact that March hatched birds are very likely lo ro into a moult Just when prices are the best for the poultrymen. and also because the birds nre a little harder to brood In March weather than in April weather the argument would always be in favor | of the early hatched birds. Bui since April hatched chicks are easier to brood, slightly lower In price per chick and ate less likely to go into a moult, they are the popular chick

lor the average poultrymen.

Two years ago three of our new poultry®en had wonderful success In | having their April hutched birds i keep up a fine production from Or-j tober or. all through the winter. They had very little moulting trouble. They reasoned a March hatched bird should begin earlier in the late summer (middle of August) when eggs are at a premium, and continue to lay all winter the same as the April hatched bird. The tensoning was correct. Their March birds did begin laying in August hut in every case the poulttymen were caught with a moult The shouts of dismay when the birds slacked up in laying were heard very plrtnly from these quarters. Their April hatched birds In the same house did not moult. It might he said, however, that on tueae particular farms no electric lights were used anil no other precaution as to having the pullets in good condition was res tied to at the time the birds should have l>ecn putting on fli-sh to meet the stress of winter egg production. Had there l>een the proper use of electric lights. 1 have no doubt the birds, by the longer eating period in the day. would have been able to maintain their bodily need* and at the same

time keep up pr.Muitlon

A pen of March hatched birds of William II. Law. of MayvilK has come under my obeemtion the past year and since this poultryman had a very good stock and started in to use lights as eatly as September he managed to keep up high production all through September. October. November and part of Deceml>er. A light moult was encountered in January but the birds came through the moulting period with better than

thirty per cent, production.

Even if this pen of fowls does decline in egg production during the vary spring it does so when eggs are .heap and the poultryman can afford to have the rest in periods of low

prices.

The question of March or April chicks depends upon whether one wants to take the risk of checking a moult. If he has the propet equipment and can successfully hold oft a moult until January he will profit by the March hatched birds. Without electric lights one had better stick

to the April or early May hatched J EfllCTS the I eaecuHve ^mmln'L^In invite them chicks.
