The Fertility Of Eggs.

In considering the possibilities for
a good hatch from a setting of eggs,
the fertility of the eggs used is of
prime Importance. Data regarding the
factors affecting the fertility of eggs
are of great value in the poultry in
dustry, this question having been
studied at number of the experiment
stations in the United States and else
where.
Too warm quarters for laying stock
and overlooking as well as 4 cold sea-
son are commonly believed to exer-
else an unfavorable influence on egg
fertility. The way eggs are handled
or stored is also believed to affect the
proportion which will hatch, as well
as the conditions under which incuba-
ton occurs. The vigor and character
of the parent stock and the length of
time the male bird has been with the
flock are also important. At the out
set, officials of the Department of
Agriculture wish it distinctly pointed
out that fertility and "hatchability"
are not necessarily identical. An egg
may be fertile and the germ still not
have sufficient vitality to produce a
healthy chick under the ordinary con-
ditions Iof incubation.
~ In series of incubator experiments
at the Rhode Island Station, of S,677
eggs tested,i SO per cent. were found
to be fertile, while only 46 per cent of
the fertile eggs, or 1876 per cent. of the
total number Of eggs, hatchul under
the conditions of the tests. Expert
ments made at the Maine Station
| showed that there was as great varia.
ltion in fertility as in the total yield
Tor inherent hens some producing eggs
that were all highly fertile and others
that were completely infertile, and
furthermore, that eggs of some hens
varied greatly in this respect at diff
ferent times. The observed facts
seem to show that while heavy egg
lyield does not hinder fertility, provid
ed the hens are allowed to rest before
they begin to lay again, infertility is
likely to result after hens have beer
laying long and heavily.

Keep the Animals Warm.

"How do you manage to always
keep cattle looking so sleek and fine,"
was asked of successful stock raiser.
"Why, l keep them comfortable"
he replied, from the day they are
born until sell them"
And this is to great extent the
secret Of success ~ stock growing.
The best farmers are the best stock
raisers; and this Is a branch of farm
ing that always wins in the long run.
If you can raise all the rough feed
and grain that your stock need, do
so, by all means, but don't neglect the
|'stock to do this. Better buy Of some
less fortunate neighbor who has more
feed than stock. There are other
things beside feed, too. Have you
seen cattle and horses bumped and
shivering, day after day, through the
worst part of the winter? Do you
think that those animals were COM
Portable? Picture yourself in that con-
dition and imagine how you would like
it! 1t is difficult to see how some men
can crawl into a warm bed at night
and sleep soundly until morning,
while their live stock stand half frozen
and perhaps half-fed all night Such
a mans feelings must be pretty well
blunted. 1t doesn't pay in dollars and
cents, either. Now, it doesn't cost
much to fix up comfortable shelter
for stock, when old hay and straw
can be had almost for nothing. When
a man lets his stock suffer from the
cold, it is clear case of shiftlessness.
But every year there are fewer and
fewer of the shiftless class.

Use of Nitrogen Bacteria Limited.

The extravagant and misleading
claims made by many of the circulars
advertising those widely heralded bac-
terra for inoculating barren soil, which
were to reyolutionize agriculture, have
led the United States Department OF
Agriculture to issue warning to the
farmers. In the first place the inocu
lation is very limited in application;
II the ground is already naturally in
fected with these nitrifying germs, any
further addition of the artificial pro-
duct is useless. They in no sense re-
place the usual forms of fertilizer; II
the ground is barren, no benefit can be
expected to result from its mere inocu.
lation with bacteria; phosphates, pot.
ash, lime or other plant food must be
added along with the nitrogen-fxing
microbes. In soil already rich in
nitrogen the bacteria do little good.
Furthermore, many of the bacteria
now on the market are of no value
whatever. OF nineteen samples bought
in the open market and examined by
the Bureau of Plant Industry one was
pronounced very good" five others
"good," and most of the remainder
poor" and eight worthless"

len millions OF dollars or more, prop

SEQ are those from vigorous parent

Used are those from vigorous parent
stock known to produce high per-
eentage of fertile eggs, while in order
to secure great percentage Of fertile
eggs the hens should be allowed O
rest after each laying period, The
eggs should be handled very carefully
and not subjected to extremes of tenn.
perature in storage, and used only
when comparatively fresh.
AS whole 1t may be said that the
ordinary conditions prevailing on the
farm as a rule favor the production of
egge of high vitality. The keeping
quality of eggs is very different mat
ter from fertility. as it is the general
belief that infertile eggs keep better

ahoat, until California has become one
of the largest poultry producing
states of the country, and San Frau
cisco and the Pacific Coast are being
supplied with the finest quality Of
fresh-laid eggs and poultry Of all kinds
produced at home-a supply which
formerly came from east Of the Rocky
Mountains.
We note this for the benefit Of the
states lying south of the above men
toned line. II the people in these
districts, individually, locally and ma
tionally, would take hold of the up
building of the poultry interest Of the
growing of all kinds Of land and water
fowl for market and the producing Of
fresh-laid eggs in winter, it would not
be many years before the fields of the
4 South would bloom again as in the
l6lden days when cotton was king, and
when the planter of these districts
rolled in wealth enjoying the distin-
guished attitude Of being envied by
all mankind.
The modus operandi to be pursued
/. in connection with the poultry En-
dustry is extremely simple, and the
only wonder is that it is not more
!. generally carried out. 1t appears,
however, to need the energetic work
of one or two men in each community
to demonstrate to the surrounding
farmers the advantage and profit in
employing up-to-date methods. The
barnyard flock can within a short
time and at a very small expense, be
bred up from an average Of 60 or Is
eggs a year to production Of 125 or
eggs per hen, constituting the diff
renee between a loss and a hand
me profit from the flock. All 1t Is
cessary 70 do is to decide upon some
table breed Of fowl and infusn new
blood ihto the flock each year by The i'm
portat1on Of reasonably well-brcd cock
BY This <neans not only can egg produc-
stipM be increased but, if a general purpose
breed IL selected, a great average In
crease In the weight Of the fowls viii
be absolutely assured.
In connection with this, nothing
l could be more profitable to handle
/ than the growing of fruits and market
stun throughout the entire Sou b.
Two other features of great value
might easily be added; that is, culti-
waiting squads for market and keep
! ing bees for the production of hon y
lid bees-waX. In the local mark Ut,
Aes-wax sells now for almost 40
hts a pound. In the southern or
warmer climates where winter feeding
would not be of long duration, the
cultivation Of bees for bees-wax alone
would become profitable vocation,
even If the extracted 4oney were dis
I tributed among the neighbors as a
gratuitous compliment from the grow
rtrs Of the bees. But the bees must
be compelled to build their own
honey-combs, to facilitate which. as
well as to have larger product of
baes-wax, the boxes for receiving the
honey should be so constructed as to
Influence the formation Of large
imuunt Of honey comb or bees-wax in
preference to honey.
If these matters were earnestly

,artments in every Southern State

in pens with three male birds and the
percentage of fertile eggs observed for
nine days after mating. This in
creased regularly from o on the day
of mating to IS per cent. on the eighth
day after mating. The fertility of the
eggs was apparently not materially af-
fected until the twelfth day after re-
moving the ROSTERS. This point was
also studied at the Ontario Agricul-
tural College and Experimental Farm.
The hens were separated from the
male and the eggs laid each day were
placed in an incubator and tested with
respect to their fertility. Of the eggs
laid during the first four days after the
male was removed, 70 per cent. were
fertile; of those laid on the fifth day,
81 per cent; on the sixth, 60 per cent (;
on the seventh, 40 per cent; on the
eighth, IL per cent; on the ninth,
per cent. and on the tenth, all were
infertile. ~, vs.,
The influence of the male on the
ktotal number of eggs produced was
/ also tested with two lots. Lot con
sisted Of pullets, hens. and l COCK;
lot 2, of hens and bullets Of the
same varieties as hot 1. Both pens
were fed and cared for in the same
(way. Lot. l laid $50 eggs and lot 2
972 eggs. It may thus be seen that
there was but very little difference in
the number of eggs aid by the two
peqsY
ideal Conditions for Fertility.
The various observations made al
different stations. while not entirely
conclusive, seem to indicate that, in
order to secure fertile eggs which will
hatch, 1t is considered desirable fol
the laying stock not to be kept in very
warm quarters or overfed; the males
must be kept with the hens contin
uously and only eggs used which have
been produced after the male has beer
