TILE SEX OF EGGS.

1t has been 1aVOrlte theory With
many breeders Of towels that the sex
Of eggs could be determined, and that
a poultry yard could be made to show
tne truth Of certain rules by the
number Of pallets or cockerels it con-
tanned Others have combatted the
idea. and pronounced it ridioulous In
theory and false in practice. AS
many Of our readers are just now
especially interested in this subject,
we give the sfollowing. which, are
worth testing.
K. B. Edwards says in his pamph
let; "Select only eggs pointed at the
ends, avoiding any that have q
tendency 0 readiness of form; also
examine the position Of air cavities in
the eggs and only retain those that
have them placed directly at the
apex Of the bluat or large end, avoid
ing all that have tbem placed at all to
the side. In this way eight eggs
out of ten will produce cockcrels.'
The following*:s from correspond
ent Of the London Journal ct
Horticulture. ''One of you cores
,pondents revives the old question
about the sex Of eggs; I send you
tmy experience. Last winter an old
country poultry -ke4per told me that
Che could distlnguishthe sex in eggs !;
/ laughed at him, and Was none the
less skeptical when he told me the
following secret: Eggs with the
air bladder on the center of the crown
Of the egg will produce cockerels;
those with the bladder on one side
produce pullets.' The old man was
SO certain of the truth Of this dogma,
and his poultry-yard SO far confirms
ed it, that [ determined to make ex-
periments upon it this year. have
done SO, carefully registering every
egg bladder VERTICAL or bladder on
one SIDE rejecting every one in
which it was not decidedly one or
the other, as in some it is only very
slightly out Of Ithe centre. The
following is the result So chickens
were Matched. three are dead, Ii are
yet too young to decide upon their
sex: of the remaining A every one
has turned out true to the old mans
theory. This, of..course, may be an
accidental coincidence. but l shall
certainly.try the experiment again.
! am now trying the same theory
upon ducks eggs
A Wetchester, Pa, man gives the
results of his experiments in the
Farmer as follows: ''Last summer
I Matched 122 chicks from eggs
selected on this principle, 119 of
which were pullets I always
selected eggs Of medium size. believ-
ing them to be the best for this
purpose. | then get a large lamp,
and take an egg in my right hand,
between the thumb and two fore
fingers, big end uppermost, and hold
it as near to the light az possible,
then lay tie little finger Of the left
hand across the middle of the egg.
This will throw the light in the egg );
then turn it around slowely, and you
will perceive dark spot the size ola
three-cent piece directly in the centre
of the large end, or on one side. AS
l raise poultry for eggs and for the
market, Of course set only eggs for
pullets, with a few for cockereIs to
replace the cocks Of last year. II
