AND DEFERTiLl-
ZATION OF EGGS.

1t is often question with poultry
Yaisers as to how soon eggs become
fertile after mating chickens and how
soon eggs become germless after mat
ings are broken
Two experiments here at Riverside
with a White WvandOtte cock and ten
hens carried on for ten days, in which
the eggs laid were set and tested, will
be of interest On the third day after
mating 2S per cent were fertile, on the
fourth 40 per cent on the fifth 80 per
cent, on the sixth 60 per cent, on the
seventh 20 per cent, on the eighth -
per cent and on the tenth day &c per
cent
Seventy-nve to so per cent is consid-
cred an excellent average fertility for
vigorous fowls under ordinary condi-
tions, so that ten days may be consid-
cred time enough for excellent results
unless the breed is a very large, clum-
sy type.
The male and hens were then sepa-
rated and the eggs as laid were again
set and tested to determine the dura-
ton of fertility after male was re-
moved.
On the third day after separation IA
per cent of eggs were fertile, on the
fourth 20 per cent, on the fifth 62 per
cent, on the sixth 50 per cent, on the
seventh 4S per cent, on the eighth Is
per cent, on the ninth per cent and
on the tenth day none were fertile.

FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs.

When your fowls get roupy don't
shut them up in a band box. Let them
have fresh air, but no drafts. Remem-
Der this is the fresh air era when pa
tients with respiratory Affections sleep
in the open, not in the oven as of old.
1t is handy in some respects to take
eggs to market in box of oats, sell the
eggs and feed the oats to the horse,
but eggs are cleaner and look so much
nicer in handy crate, and such can
be bought, the ten dozen size, for only
a quarter.
The hen that lays is the hen that
stays, should be the rule on every
farm, poultry plant and in every back
lot coop. If we could only get rid of
the undesirable citizen as easily as the
drone hen, the millennial dawn would
sure move up notch.
The Buff NIinorca is the latest on

We should like to get our judges to-
gether and examine them on old and
recent breeds and varieties and their
characteristics. Wouldn't they funk
vertise as expert judges of all varie-
ties.
While the customs authorities have
decided for keeps that hen is not a
bird, there was q scrap down at Allan
tic City as to whether hen Is an ami
for cruelty to animals for not feeding
and watering his flock. The magis-
trate made the hen an animal and
fined the pigtail $40. Next.
A Connecticut farmer near Harwin-
ton contests the opinion of the customs
court that hen is not a bird by pro-
ducing hen on his farm that lays in
a box placed in a tree and flies around
the farm instead of walking. She may
be one of those "barnyard" pheasants
that our city hunters shoot on the wing
and pass off for the real thing.
THAT hens hogr' exclaimed her
owner. "She's a candidate for the

sending her to chicken heaven. To
his surprise he found she was the best

a great layer that wasn't a great eater.

new JERSEY PROGRESS

Tn" victory of William Hughes. Of Paterson,
\. j.. in the New Jersey primaries ON Monday
which determined the Democratic nomination
for United States senator is as plain victory
of the people over the boss system as any Anger
lean community has ever Witnessed
Backed by Gov. Wilson, Hughes, who is now
New Jersey congressman, has apparently car
red every New Jersey county except one, while
the ''WilSon Ticket fer state offices was uni
fOrmly successful.
Jim Smith, again repudated by the people of
New Jersey, is the boss that Wilson, the college
president, went out to beat-and did beat. 1t
was Wilson's fight against Smith and against
Smiths system which put the collegian in line
for the presidential nomination. 1t was Will
sons fight against Smith that gave New Jersey
its present direct primary law. Wilson saw that
the stronghold of the boss system in American
politics is the convention. He saw that the dirt
lest deals in politics are made possible by the
convention. And he went at the root of the evil.
He wrote New Jerseys primary law, one of his
supporters by the name of Geran introduced it,
and Wilson put it through the state legislature.
That law provides for the nomination Of United
also that every candidate for the state legisla-
ture, which elects the senators, shall file with
his own nominating petition a statement declar-
ing either that he will support the senatorial
candidate who has the highest primary vote, or
that he will not he bound by primary vote Thus
the voters know what to expect of their legisla-
tors when it comes to electing a United States
senator.
Gov. Wilson's attack on the boss system
brought upon his head the bitterest assault any
prominent man in public life has known for five
years past But he beat the boss and he beat the
system. jim Smiths power in New Jersey is
broken-broken by man who did not fear to
point out the evils in his own party and to urge
their correction.
The results in New Jersey ought to be an i'll
SEPARATION to any man, Republican or Democrat,
who believes in the rule of all the people rather
than in the rule of few.

have been brought to light in the past year or

JAPAN'S NAVY LOSS

The storm which swept Japan Monday night
and yesterday has done more than take the lives
of some thousands of people. 1t has damaged
the formidable navy structure which Nippon is
building up at the expense of a tax-riddeh
people.
Whether the damage to the navy is the loss
Of four battleships or of two torpedo-boat de-
stroyefs and two battleships has not been def
nitely determined, nCr is it known certainly that
the vessels are Of the late and costly types.
However, the blow is Il very serious one at this
time Japan is carrying national burden that
strains her people to the utmost. One night of
storm has given disastrous setback to navy

THE MOTORCYCLE ACClOENI.
Editor tar-Bulletin.-Sir: Kindly
allow me a few lines in your paper to
correct the article headed Child in
jured by motorcycle which states
THAT no blame is attached to those run
ming the machine.
When l asked Mr.. Saylor why he did
not turn his machine aside, his answer
was that he would run into the side
walk and probably smash his machine
so in order to save his machine which
he did, he smashed my son.
According to Mr.. Frazier the mail
man and several other eye witnesses,
Mr. Saylor was entirely to blame for
the accident it was a case pure and
simple of rank carelessnesS on his
part.
And what is more, Mr. Editor, after
NV boy was knocked down and lay on
the road unconscious the Rev. Saylor
ia minister of the gOSpeD refused to
carry him in the house, but stood
arguing. Mr.. Frazier and Mr. Nc
Crackin carried the unconscious boy
into the house.
