which mean bad eggs and the consequent

1t Ii advisable TO market the old hens
In the summer as soon as the second
laying season IL over. continues the De-
partment's advice. as hens over two years
old rarely lay as many eggs as they do In
their pullet and yeariing seasons. Keep
the nests clean. provide one nest for
every four hens: gather the eggs twice
daily: keep the eggs In a cool. dry room
or cellar. and market them at least twice
week. Market all cockerels except
those intended for broodlng purposes as
soon as they attain broiier size. for they
will pay a larger profit at that time than
IL held until fall. when the market be-
comes overcrowded.

SET MAY 18TH AS DAY
TO ELIMINATE ROOSTER
That Is the Advice Offered to
Poultrymen by Government
Experts.

WASHINGTON. April ls.--fn the interest
of the infertile egg tho poultry specialists
OF the Department of Agriculture have
started a campaign for the elimination
OF the rooster among poultry fiocks during
the seasons between May I and Decem-
Der !. In this connection Saturday, May
10. has been set aside as rooster day
in Kentucky and Tennessee when every
poultry dealer in these States has agreed
to pay the same prices for ROSTERS Us
they do for hens and pullets. There Ia
an enormous loss in eggs as the result
OF the fertile egg, especially during the
summer and fall months. and II is for
this reason the Department OF Agriculture
recommends that tho rooster be Kept
away from the hens during these seasons,
II is estimated that one-thrd of the tre-
mendous annual loss of eggs is due to
the fertile egg
II Is not necessary for rooster to be
among hens In order that their laying
qualities may not be curtallsd. The
rooster. 1t Is advised, should be allowed
with the hens only during the breeding
season. and eggs that are intended for
Matching purposes should be fertile. as
tho infertile ones will not hatch,
Fertile eggs spoil very quickly when
subjected to the ordinary methods OF
handling on the farm, and when marketed
during the hot summer months under adj
verse conditions. lnfertile eggs viii keep

PLANS FOR OPENING
UP REGIONAL BANKS
Federal Reserve System Direc-
tors Will Hold Conference
Here on Tuesday Next.

Directors Of the Federal reserve sys-
tenn will have a conference here next
Tuesday and it is the hope Of the board.
It was learned today, that all OF the re-
gional banks will be able to announce,
following that conference, that they will
open in a short time.
1t looks now as If the new system would
be ready to go into operation within the
next month or so. November 15 Is one
of the dates suggested. Some Of the
banks could be ready earlier. For in
stance, the bank at Boston is practically
ready to begin operations.
It is possible the system will be start
ed with the opening of the banks in the
cities Of New York, Chicago, and st.
Louis, the three central reserve cities.
1t is calculated the banks in these dis
tricts would probably be better able to
meet the strain Of readjustment than in
other districts.
One of the reasons for desiring to
make an announcement to the country
of an early time for opening the system
Is that 1t is thought it would have a
good moral effect on the financial and
business situation.

Accuses Her Husband
Of Having an Affinity

Accusations that her husband. Will
lam II. Deck, a Government clerk, once
told her that 'he had met his affinity,
and that she pack her suit case and so,
and subsequently wanted to bring his
alleged soulmate to their home to live,
are contained in a cross bill for a limit
ed divorce filed in the District Supreme
Court today by Mrs. Ethel NJ. Deck.
Mrs. Deck further charges that her
husband abused her, failed to support
her properly and forced her TO wear
the thinnest sort of underwear in the
coldest weather, saying that 1t was
what she. needed to make her strong and
healthy
Another allegation was to the effect
that her husband was subject to fire.
auent changes in religion, quarreling
with her If she did not follow him at
each change"
The answer of Mrs. Deck to her hus-
bands petition for an absolute divorce
was a denial of the essential allega-
tions made by him as to her alleged
misconduct. She admitted that the man
named as correspondent had called at
her home as other friends did, but de-
clared that there were no improprfeties
on he" part.
