RAISE INFERTILE eggs
Fertile Egg Great Source OF
Loss in Summer.-Keep
Male Bird Out of
Flock After Hatch
ing Season.

1t is conservatively estimated thai
there is an annual loss in eggs in thl.
country of $45,000,000. Practically
all Of this enormous loss is sustained
Dy the farmers of this country, as it Is
on the ground farms that the grea,
Oulk of eggs is produced. A very
great part Of this loss can be prevent
ed by the production of infertile eggs
which are laid by hens that do no;
nave male bird with them. The
male bird has no influence whatever
on the number of eggs laid. There.
fore, as soon as the Matching season
is over the male should be removed
from the flock.
The greatest trouble from blood
rings in eggs occurs in hot weather
Special care should be given to the
gathering and storing of the egg
during the late spring and summer
months. At these times the eggs
should be gathered at least twice a
day, placed in room or cellar where
the temperature does not rise above
70 degrees F., and marketed two O.!
three times week.
DlDOu rings are CduSeu ny lAe Ce-
velopment of the embryo of fertile
egg and its subsequent death. 1t is
impC ssible to hatch an infertile egg
or cause a blood ring to form in one.
Il is generally considered that eggs
become infertile frcm to IA days sf
ter the male bird is removed from the
flock. Repeated experiments have
shown that where fertile and infer
tile eggs are kept under similar Coz
diticns, the fertile eggs spoiled mucn
quicker, due to the fact that they de-
teriorate faster than infertile eggs in
the average summer temperature.
Summer heat has the same effect a

GOOD CATCHERS.
They Must Be Quick Thinkers and Are
Hard to Develop.

Good felders and hard hitters there
are who are not quick witteJ, but nev-
er Il catcher, who is the first to Sc'
signs of weakness in the pitcher ana
sends word to the bench for another
pitcher to warm up. Three years eA'
perience with major league Is re.
garded as necessary 10 maize catch
er competent. Only Il few continue
long enough to have such experience.
Good catchers say that when they
hear the bal! touch the bat their hands
instantly fly toward the ball. no mat
ter where it glances off the bat. Some
after losing sight of a fly in the sun
have the ability to reach it neverthe-
less.
Some catchers are unjustly blamed
for not putting runner out who gets
a big lead off the pitcher. who is real
ly at fault. Here not only good
throw will fail. but it is often useless
to throw at all.
Good catchers make many uneXpect-
ed throws They must throw from an
unnatural position and with a jerky
motion of the arm. Archer threw with
a snap of the arm while standing fiat
footed and put many out on first base.
The catcher signals second baSeman
that he is going to throw the next
pitched ball to him; the pitcher deliv-
ers it little to one side SO that it
can be handled easily; the shortstop
knows the next ball will not be hit and
so can back up second base. This un
expected throw often puts the runner
out on second.
similar play Is when the runners
move up every time the ball is pitch
ed If those OH second and third both
get well off the bags the catcher again
signals the pitcher to waste ball and
makes as if he were going to throw
to third. but instead throws quickly to
second and retires the runner there.
or makes nS II he were going to throw
to second. but instead throws just be
yond the pitcher, when the baSeman
starts for second. and he. without stop.

sends ii home to retire the man seek

EVOLUTION OF THE CHAIR.


SSdSS III bIlG WINNIE fNSSSs
1t seems odd to contemplate that
with the multitude of chairs 10 be
found in every home these days. once
upon time there were no chairs as
we know them III any home. In those
days benches answered the purpose
now served by chairs and when fam
lily drew mp to the table for its meals
in the middle ages they sat on long
benches. which had no support for the
backs instead of chairs.
From long ago there were heavy
thrones on which the rulers sat. but
these throne chairs were so heavy that
they could not be easily moved. Later
the benches We're given Il back. and
still later the chairs aS we know them
tOGay were evolved.
1t waS not until 1900. in the time of
Charles l.. that the average English
man knew of chairs or had them III his
house. according to those who have
made study of furniture. The first
English chairs were imported from
Idll'e, ana Ille ndllNe tdDillctllldhtES
and carpenters made chairs in imita
tion of these.
In those days the fashion in chairs
changed with the fashion of clothes
When full skirts were the style the
chairs became wider. so that milady
and her skirts could he accommodated
on one chair The difference in the
size of chairs that we have today
made in imitation of old styles. comes
from this difference III clothes. Lon

To the report of the clerk Of the board
Of health, there are at present l29

reported every day.
T. birth record for April was 1879,
against "a deaths. Nineteen OF the
deaths reported we're OF infants who
were born in 1915. Impure milk and
poor sanitary conditions are given by
the board as reasons for this heavy
infant mortality record
According TO the report Of the SAN
itary officers, Philip Rostiser and Will
liam Lichtenberger, the city is in bet
ter shape from a sanitary standpoint
than it has been for some time. II
seems, according TO their report, that
he citizens are endeavoring to CO.
operate with the board in the effort to
make the city as free from insanitary
conditions as possible.
Food Inspector Van Lake reported
that he had inspected 200 groceries in
the city in April. OF these only three
were in poor sanitary condition. out
Of 62 meat markets inspected, 2S were
good and 80 were fair. Not one was
found TO be in poor sanitary condi-
ton.

WANT COMMISSIONERS
TO REPAIR NILES ROAD
Chamber OF Commerce Committee
Meets With County Board and
Urges Action fol Highway.

A committee from the Chamber of
Commerce met with the county com
missioners Monday afternoon in the
interest OF the Dixie highway. 1t was
sought to have the commissioners
take some action whereby the road
between South Bend and Niles might
be improved. 1t was pointed out by
members Of the committee that If the
road between this city and the state
line were improved then the author
tiles In Michigan would take action
looking toward the Improvement of the
road from Niles TO the state line. The
contention Of the members Of the
committee was that IL no attempt
were made to improve the road in
this county then the Michigan roads
would be so improved as TO direct
travel to the west and from South
Bend.
Discussion of the matter was not
taken up until late and no action was
taken during the early afternoon. 1t
was pointed out that there was only
enough money available in Clay town
ship to build about two miles of road
whereas the entire distance to be built
was over three miles. The idea of
the committee was that the commits
sioners might take the road over and
repairs it regardless of what could be
done by Clay township.
During the morning session held by
the commissioners only the monthly
business of allowing bills was trans
acted.
