SWAT THE ROOSTER.

The U, S. department of agricul-
ture poultry experts in charge Of
the poultry and egg car now tour
ing the NIX. & T. lines in Okla
homa are urging that all roosters BE-
at once penned until fall or sold. In
their lectures these men show that
the roosters are causing a loss every
summer Of over a million dollars to
Oklahoma farmers. Over fifty per
cent of the eggs marketed during
June, July and August are rotten.
and seventy-five per cent of this loss
is due to the rooster.
The low price of eggs during the
summer is not due to oyerproduction
but to the large per cent of spoiled
eggs. A fertile egg will develop blood
ring and become unfit for food II
kept at a temperature of eighty-six
degrees for a week. Now eggs are
often allowed to stay in hot nest
two or three days. then in a warm
room for several more days before
they are sent to the local grocery
store. They may, be in the ho'
store another week before being
shipped TO nearby centralizine
point Here they are candled and
all bad eggs are thrown out. In
July and August about fifty per cent
of the eggs are found to be bad
over ninety per cent of a shipment

has been found bad The grocery
man is paid for only good eggs.
Hence, IL half his shipment is bad
the price for all the shipment is only
half what 1t would have been for
good eggs. He must cut the price
to the farmer accordingly.
Infertile eggs cannot be incubated.
They will keep almost indefinitely
IL properly handled. If the rooster
Is kept from the hens the eggs will
be infertile. About seventy-five per
cent of the loss from marketing bad
eggs in the sumemr is due to fertile
eggs, or in other words, to the roost-
er. The rest OF the loss is due to
dirty eggs, cracked eggs and small
eggs.
Here are the baets about the
rooster:
He does not affect the num-
Der of eggs laid by the hen.
2. His presence with the hens af-
ter the breeding season causes most
Of the bad eggs.
Sin the summer season he costs
the Oklahoma farmer over mill
lion dollars besides his feed.

ing Red River nayigable. that Is an
other question. and one on which we
should be granted the right to have
our own opinion, regardless of what
Denison, Paris and Hugo may pro-
Efess to believe. You make great
ado over report by some govern
nlent engineer to the effect that Red
River could be made navigable.
Well, as to that report. most of us
have been in politics long enough
to knowrthey are not difficult, to se>
cure when a sufficient amount of
pull" is applied; any more than it
is, difficult to get some Congress-
man and Senators to line up for a
raid on the public treasury when
the voters back home demand it.
The editor of The Herald did not
say. and l think he will not, that
he considers the scheme to make
Red River nayigable feasible and
yorthy one. l dare sayNyou can
not get a committee of five intel
ligent and reputable business men
of Denison, who know Red River. to
say it can be made nayigable with
any reasonable expenditure of money.
To me it is on par with the at
tempt "a few years ago to make the
| Arkansas river in Oklahoma nav
igable. In conversation with a well
known Muskogee banker and Cham
ber of Commerce director, l said I
considered the scheme an impractical
one. and his reply was, THAT is all
very true. but Uncle Sam is squan-
dering millions of dollars on SINH
lar schemes in other places. and we
might as well get share of it; the
money expended may not make the
Arkansas navigable. but it will help
business along the river to have
that amount of money paid out and
spent here"
Representative government is
what the people make 1t; and II a
| Congressman constituents are will
ing to have him cast his vote in ia
vor of raid on the government
treasury. just because they are to
get some of the pork; how can
