The cheetah hunt which the vice

To rob 1t of ancient vogue.

way by Indian mobiles was a sort of
lynx, spelled variously as "shoe-
goose" ''syahgush." But this was
nsed much more rarely than the chez

lNFERTlLE EGGS KEEP BEST
LARGO Part of Loss Can Be Obvtateds
According to investigation just
Completed.

A large part of the heavy loss from
bad eggs can be obviated by the pro-
duction of infertile eggs. This mas
been demonstrated beyond doubt Dy
the investigations concerning the I'M
proyement of the farm egg when our
ing the past two years haze been con-
Quoted in the middle west by the Du-
reau of animal industry of the depart
ment of agriculture.
Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture estimates that, between
the producer and the consumer, there
is an annual loss of S45,000,OOO IN the
egg crop Of the United States. the
greater portion of which falls on the
farmer, who is by far the largest
producer. OF this enormous loss,
about one-third, or S15,000,00O, Is
caused by heat which develops the
embryo of the fertile egg, causing
what is known to the trade as
blood ring" AS it is impossible to
produce blood ring" in an infer
tile egg, such an egg will stand
higher degree of temperature without
serious deterioration than will a fer
tile egg.
The secretary says that if farmers
and others engaged in the production
of eggs would market their male birds
as soon gas the Matching season is
over, large saving would be made,
as practically every infertile egg

No more simple or efficient method
for the improvement of the egg sup
ply OF the country could be adopted
than the production of infertile eggs.
