Eggs That Never Hatch.

This is the kind to be avoided
in selecting eggs for our sitters.
The Matching season is here, and
early chickens are valuable, and so
every egg we put under the hen, or in
the incubator should have strong fer
tility and more than an equal chance
Of Matching.
1t often happens that the stock
is SO inbred that the fertility is weak,
and large per cent of the eggs will
not hatch. This evil can be over
come by introducing roosters not
akin to the hens in the breeding
fiocks.
Eggs from inactive and over-fatted
hens are always weak, and many are
not suitable for setting. The way to
help this is to feed the hens less, and
make them exercise in scratching for
what they get to eat. In fact, this 10
one Of the greatest evils of the fan
cier's stock-it is pampered and fed
too much to be in a good, active and
healthy condition.
Old eggs, and eggs that have been
lying in the same position are largely
infertile. In such eggs the air
chamber is very large, which indi-
Gates their inferior condition. The
way to avoid such is to inspect each
egg carefully, holding it between the
thumb and fore-finger close to q
strong light, and rejecting all in
which the air chamber is larger than
dime, for fresh, sound eggs have a
small ar chamber in the big end Of
them.
Again, eggs from hens infested
with mites and other parasites hatch
poorly. because the hens are fever
ish and restless. Such hens do not
lay many eggs.
A fat, overweight rooster in q
mating will cause a large number Of
infertile eggs. The male bird should
also be forced to work for his living
so as to keep him in good condition.
Finding a new nest Of eggs and
setting them, is taking chances, un.
less they are properly tested, for
the chances are some of them are too
old to hatch well.-H. b. Greer, In

CHAPTER XVII.
John Valiant Asks a Question.


Valiant went with them to the
outer door. A painful thought was
flooding his mind. It hampered his
speech and 1t was Only by a violent
effort that he found voice:
Zone moment! There is a question
would like to ask"
Both gentlemen had turned upon the
steps and as they faced him he
thought swift glance passed between
them. They waited courteously, the
doctor with his habitual frown, the
majors hand fumbling for the black
ribbon on his waistcoat
Since I came here, have heard"
his tone was uneven-"of q duel In
which my father was a principal.
There was such meeting?"
There was," said the doctor after
the slightest pause Of surprise. Had
you known nothing of it?"
Absolutely nothing"
The major cleared his throat. ut

have made a record Of" he said. "The
two had been friends, and fit was
a fatal encounter for the other. The
doctor and I were your fathers SEQ
Onds."
There was a moments silence be-
fore Valiant spoke agaip. When he
did his voice was steady, though drops
had sprung to his forehead. WAS
there any circumstance in that meet.
ing that might be construed as re-
flecting on his-honor?"
Good God, moi" said the major ex.
plosively.
"On his bearing as a gentleman ?"
There was a hiatus this time in
which he could hear his heart beat.
In that single exclamation the major
seemed to have exhausted his vocabu-
larry. He was looking at the ground.
1t was the doctor who spoke at last.
in a silence that to the man in the
doorway weighed like q hundred at
mospheres.

not. What put that into your head"
When he was alone in the library

he began to walk up and down the
