FERTILITY IN EGGS.
IL Can he Aided by Giving Proper
Attention to the Hens During
Incubation Season.

IL is most necessary that eggs
should be fertile about the time they
are desired for incubation, whether
they are to place in an incubator or
10 be distributed under hens. Infer
tile eggs at such a time are an abom-
ination. delusion and a blastcr of
future hopes. The first essential in
this direction will be to have healthy
stock which had q healthy growth all
through their growing stage. and the
sexes should be as far from kinship
as possible. 1t is also necessary that
the parents be strong in vitality. The
breeding stock can be too old or too
young; too decrepit or too immature.
Ii is a matter of regret that no one
can fully control fertility to its full
est extent, but it can be aided large
ly by mating and by giving proper
care and attention prior and during
the incubation season. Exercise is
necessary to procure the greatest fer
tility in eggs. A balanced ration will;
furnish not far from the right kind
of food, which is not only essential 10
good health, but to keep up that vigor
so requisite in breeding stock of all
kinds. The food should contain both
animal matter and grains. and should
be provided neither more nor less in
quantity than is required. We would
not only have the egg fertile, but we
would have that fertility strong and
vigorous. 1t is not enough that the
egg Will hatch, but II should also
hatch a strong and vigorous chick
that will live and overcome some of
the strongest drawbacks known TO
the system of rearing chicks. What
is the good to hatch chick and have
il die when a day or two old because of
lack of vitality Poultry Farmer.

First is TO hatch your chickens very

second way is, keep your chicks where

takes moisture as well as warmth to
develop the parasite. As you cannot
raise chicks without warmth. says the
writer in National Stockman, you
must prevent moisture, or you surely
will have gapes if your yards are In
tested. The third. and better way, is
10 raise your chicks each year in
new place. / suggest rotation as fol-
lows: Begin on the east side of your
orchard, next year move your coops
and breeders to the west side, the
third wear move to the south, and the
fourth wear to the north side. BY that
time the east side will be purified, so
there viii not be much danger, and
YOU can continue this rotation with
perfect safety. To cure gapes in the
