Infertile Eggs.

AS infertlle eggs are better than
fertile eggs during the hot weather,
we are going to make a special
price for the infertile eggs. We do
not know just how much more that
we can pay for the infertile eggs
than the general run, but we are
going to start at one cent over. and
it is possible that we can pay more
than that as it may be that the diff
ference is more than one cent.
To receive the infertiIe price we
will have some slips for you to sign
guaranteeing your eggs to be infer
tile and not over one week old. 1t
is our understanding that to produce
an infertile egg that all male birds
will have to be removed from your
flock at least ten days.
