The reason for this decrease might be the heavier molt in this' pen. The eggs from the wet mash and grain fed hens continued to increase in size. Fertility and hatching poiver of eggs. While the fertility in the dry mash and grain fed pen was least, the hatching power was best of all the four pens. Of the eggs from this pen which were put into machines, per cent, gave good chickens. The hand-fed grain hens came next with per cent. The hopper-fed grain hens gave best fertility, but fewest chickens for the eggs incubated.

These curves of production furnish a striking illustration of the uniformity of production of different flocks during the same months, even under different condi- tions of feeding. It clearly points to the general conclusion that the seasons have a greater influence on production than does age of fowl or ordinary difference in methods of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Cornell University.
