The sailor has his musical shanty, to

messed any Friday evening In season
at the Clay street market. while the
employees OF the big poultry houses that
have their places OF business there are
preparing for sale the chickens that the
housewife buys for the Sunday dinner,
The men seat themselves In a half cir.

OF sharp knife across the throat puts
the unfortunate squawklng broller out
OF Its misery and then the foreman OF

that they finish their fowls almost 81

Many theories have been advocated
as to how male or female offspring may

no theory In the matter. but a very
simple law Of nature. says a writer 10

like ages and strength and constltu-
ton. and the produce Of these may be
OF either sex. But let the bull be old
or weak or out OF condition. and the
calf will. almost without exception. be
male and this IL merely the law OF ma
ture trying to reproduce itself. because,
Of the two animals. the bull shows evil
dcnce Of being the one most likely to
die first. and. therefore. the male cali
would be the one required to carry on
the breed. In short. the Offspring pro-
duccd Ia OF the same sex. as a rule, as
the weaker Of the two parents. This !
know. is quite contrary to the most
general theory; but have taken the

the past six and thirty years, ana !
have found that It IL invariably the
case. not only "a regards cattle. but
