PUZZLE FOR POULTRY RAISER

everyday hen lays only 120 eggs In a

COW signifies merely an increase
through breeding Of the size and pro-
ductiveness Of the lacteal glands. But
no human power has been devised for
placing into hen larger number Of
eggs than nature has provided her
with. She comes supplied with about
500 eggs. And the problem Is to In
dsce her TO lay about 400 Of these
during the first two years Of her life.
After that 1t does not matter much.

that time.
The scientists have discovered that
Of the two egg receptacles with which
every pullet is provided only one is
developed. the other being non-pro-
ductive and useless. The eggs found
In the pullet are massed together
much like a bunch Of grapes. They
are mere cells about a sixty.fourth OF
an Inch In diameter. Each consists Of
a tiny spherical mass OF protoplasm
surrounded by membrane. In the
center Of the little cell of the white
of the egg is the nucleus which repre-
sents the vital principle Of the egg
and contains a modified protoplasm
called chromatin. which is one Of the
most mysterious and wonderful sub
stances In nature.
The chromatin carries the inherited
characteristics of the fowl and Is the
physical basis Of all heredity. II is by
