As a shower has the appearance of. being more or less a "begging party" it is losing favor with people of good taste—and for a very clone relative to have it is considered poor form.

SELECT EGGS CAREFULLY FOR STRONG, ROBUST CHICKENS Poultry Specialist Tells How to Select and Care for Hatching Eggs if you Would Count the Chicks Even After They are Hatched. (Written specially for The News) BY C. A. LOVELL Thru Autocaster Service About the eggs set each year do not hatch—and about half tüe chicks that are hatched die in the first few days or weeks. Part ef the story of this year's poultry experience was written when the breeding stock was hatched and while it was being raised. That was l >s t year, or the yeer before. It is in the present moment, however, that the eggs are being produced, with every egg a potential chick, dependent large measure for its success or failure In life upon the thing* that happen to tin egg before incubation begins. in a Only in exceptional cases should pullets be used to produce Year old hens are I A mature hen can transmit more stamina and vitality to the germ ! within the egg than can a pullet. Too! great an age should be avoided for the 1 opposite reason. Age brings on a loss of vigor. ! The eggs that are to be set should be gathered frequently. When the hen deposits an egg and leaves the nest the temperature «tarts to drop. If the drop is very groat the tiny bit of, life may be weakened, or even killed out-right. Temperature is all-important. At 68 degrees the germ begins to devel op, hence the eggs should be kept somewhat below that point. Below 66 it is too cold. The range of tempera- 1 ture should be between 66 and Co de grees, since beyond either of these ( points losses creep in to rob the poul- i try raiser of the fruits of his toil. ] young hatching eggs, better. _ j ! 1 I By All Meana a Good Thermometer There is only one way to know tem perature absolutely snd that is by the use of a reliable thermometer.

The result will be a weak, crippled, or dead chick. Filing up Hatching Eggs Cuts off Air It is not good'to keep too many eggs in the same basket. The shell seems very dense, but as a matter of fact it is porous. Both air and moisture can pass through. Piling up the eggs so that the air supply is cut off con tributes to the disappointments of hatching day. Instead of baskets, use shallow trays, just deep enough for a single layer of eggs. The size of eggs used for hatching is important. They should be uniform, neither too large nor too small. Two ounces is looked upon as the standard weight, weak, under-developed chick, suc h chicks win through to maturity the pullets among them will be likely to lay undersized eggs, and small eggs j ar4 „ 0 t wanted by the markets, A small egg may yield a Even if Only clean egg» are tit to incubate, !
