Vitality OF Eggs.

Chas. A. Cyphers, In his book on
Incubation, says: Just how long IL
Will take to destroy the germ under
the influence of different temperatures,
do not know. have not had time to
thoroughly test the matter, and know
or no one having done so. From the
data at hand, however, It is quite prob
able that eggs may be kept for period
OF four weeks and still retain their full
vitality. This is longer period than
that required by the domestic hen to
deposit a batch Of eggs and to COM
mence to incubate, and about the per-
iod required for partridge and other
similar large game birds, whose eggs
are usually deposited in slight hol-
low OF the ground, and without pro-
lection OF any sort, are subjected to
the various changes in the elements
common to the incubating period.
With the megapode, the eggs are COW
cred up as deposited, and given the
protection thus afforded. The hatca-
Ing mounds seem to he so constructed
and timed by the parent bird, how
ever, that II does not heat UP to any
extent until after the eggs are all de-
posted. They are subsequently sub
jected to a gradual warming UP, and
not to a continuous high temperature.
There is no exact data on the habits OF
the ostrich in the wild state. but its
eggs are found to hatch under artificial
incubation at the common incubating
temperatures, which seems to be the
case with nearly all birds eggs, al
though this temperature is probably as
far from the natural as the artificial
conditions are unlike the natural. The
preponderance of evidence is, in fact,
that all eggs allow of a considerable
latitude in the incubating temperature,
but only when other conditions are
equal. Our wild duck, the little grebe
or dab-chick, for instance, leaves it's
eggs to the mercy of the variable heat
OF the sun and decaying muck during
the day, and incubates only at night;
while the tern is accredited with not
incubating at ALL but leaves its eggs
to hatch by the heat engendered in the
decaying muck Of an abandoned musk
rat hole and the heat of the sun, with
out any special provision more than
giving the eggs thick coat Of E;ud.
