Book Description
Excerpt from The Poultryman and Pomologist, Vol. 1: Devoted to Practical Poultry and Fruit Culture; November, 1900 In establishing an egg strain it is import ant to have a male line that is bred from layers. Select the largest hen you have, that has shown productiveness abov'e oth ers of her class, and mate her to your best male. Keep her eggs separate and pre serve her cockerels for your male line. They will be but slightly related to the other females of your flocks. Perpetuate your male line in this manner, and do not introduce new blood by a change of males. If it is found necessary to introduce new blood, do so from the female side. This is done by procuring one or more pullets from a different strain but of the same breed as your own, breeding them to your male and the females of their get back to their sire. The progeny will then have three-fourths of the blood ofthe sire and will be safe to introduce into the flock. A direct out-cross, even of the same breeds, is apt to produce many off-colored chicks and destroy the characteristics you have been aiming to perpetuate. Ln-breeding is not the bugbear many would have us believe. And can be carried on almost ia definitely if done with judgment, yet the occasional introduction of new blood in the manner described is beneficial. By careful selection from year to year the average of your flock will be greatly increased and in a few years, instead of hens that produce 100 eggs per annum you will have the much coveted zoo-egg power hen.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Poultryman and Pomologist, Vol. 1: Devoted to Practical Poultry and Fruit Culture; April, 1900 It was the Monarch incubator of which, for the benefit of those who have never seen it, I will describe the heating system. Above the egg chamber is the main water tank, of oblong shape, the top of which is concave the lowest point being at the centre where the ventilator is situated and the highest points at each end: One end of the tank is connected by a pipe with the top of a smaller tank or heater outside of the main incubator, this latter tank covering the lamp. A pipe runs from the bottom of the outside tank into the incubator, makes a coil around the floor, thence ascending at the back end and connecting with the main tank thus completing the circuit. From one high end of the main tank an open upright tube is attached. In this tube a float resting on the water would rise and fall with the expansion and can traction of the water in the tank. This float was attached to a lever which was connected with an attachment on the lamp, which attachment with the rise and fall of the float in the tube would regulate the flame of the lamp. The first year 1 had the incubator it run splendidly. The trouble commenced the second year and was as follows.

Excerpt from The Poultryman and Pomologist, Vol. 1: Devoted to Practical Poultry and Fruit Culture; January 1900 The soil should be thoroughly worked the year before setting out the orchard. This can best be done by planting corn, potatoes, or some other hoed crop. The grade will then be as nearly as possible natural, so that the trees may be set at a uniform depth in the ground. Before the tree is placed in the ground it should be trimmed of all surplus and damaged roots, and the top should be headed back.
