and breeding from which the following
notes are taken. Hens kent in cold

with strong germs which Matched we'll
On the other hand, poultry kept in ar
tifically warmed houses laid eggs with
weak germs which Matched weak chick
ems. The results were considered in
favor of fresh air and plenty of it even
if it was cold" In a study of the du-
ration of fertilization after the remov-
al of the male bird, records were kept
which were shown to be fertile The
last trace of fertility was noticed elev-
en- days after separation. The unfertil-
led eggs had superior keeping qualities
so the author recommends that as a
rule male birds should not be kept with

Experience showed that where there is
a variety in ratiOns and care in
them. and sufficient floor space, there is
little likelihood of egg eating or feath-
er picking. Steamed lawn clippings
were fed to the station poultry three
or four times a week and eaten with
evident relish. Clover leaves treated in
the same way were also much liked
