Egg prices during recent years liave reached their peak (luring the 1 ist few weeks of November and the lirst weeks in December and have declined very rapidly after January 1st. A:; a rule egg prices begin l(. climb about tbe first of ScpU'iuhci rii'l aro highest during the fall months, with the lowest point ofto 1 eini' r"Mcli(Ml in February. This cnrdll'ou rcbitlts from the fact that egg production falls off heavily dur ing the fall months from the ma lure hens on account of the moltinc period starling and pullets are uoi i ,':ir enough matured to lay many orgs at that season. Then aboil J elr'nary 1st the old h-pu have fin islied the molt and are (.online bad Mito heavy production while even late ii. itched pullets are beginning to show signs of laying, so that a Hood of frcMli eggs comes on to the general morket bclore the stored eggs are en tirely disposed of, with the result that the nrirket breaks uudquite of ten guos to a llgure below the actus' ' .standard of values which is ostab lished during April when eggs arc going into cold storage in large quan tities. On account of these condi tions an opportunity is olfered to wide awake poultry keepers to take advantage of the low egg prices in Fobruarv to Mt their incub'itors some writ c.'jl.

In this breeding Hock sbuld be found the very best females from the entire Hock, mated to out standing males.

Success in batching oggs depends to a considerable extent upon the ph.vslcal condition (if the breeding Hock liens that arc in poor health tint are over fat, that are too close ly confined, or that aro very thin wilt not lay egg.s that will hutch well.
