Nermlllon.-One year ago the state
food and drug commissioner for the
iirst time issued a proclamation desig-
mating a day in June as Rooster
day. on which date all male birds in
the fiocks OF the state were to be
slaughtered or marketed in order to
prevent the enormous spoilage in
eggs during summer months which re
suited from the production of fertile
eggs. The movement was SO success
full that a similar proclamation has
been issued this year, as follows:
Whereas, The annual loss TO South
Dakota through improper production
and handling of eggs is enormous and
in a large part p~reyentabie; and
Whereas, At least half this loss is
caused by fertile eggs becoming heat
ed, producing grades OF eggs known
as "bloodringers" and .chick rots," all
OF which are unfit for food and which
result only in fortified eggs; and
Whereas, The sale of such eggs or
their shipment in the state or inter
otoNS 10 III SlCtGliCll " iiN
and results in wasted freight and
handling charges amounting to thou
sands OF dollars annually; and
Whereas, Repeated experiments
have shown that hens produce as
many or more eggs and keep in bet
ter condition when the male birds are
removed from the flocks,
Therefore |, Guy G.. F'rary, food and
drug commissioner for the state OF
South Dakota, do hereby designate
and appoint Saturday, June u. 1915,
as Rooster day." and do most earn
estly urge all persons owning flocks
Of chickens to remove all male birds
from their tlocks on that day and keep
iocas free from roosters until Noyem-
Der l or later. | also urge al persons
who enjoy the eating OF fresh, sweet
eSgs to insist upon having a dressed
rooster from the local market on the
day above designated. The season is
well advanced, hundreds of thousands
OF chickens IRE Matched and by June
II there will be no further need for
the rooster among the focks. Let him
he sold on that day and thereby save
eggs and his own feed. Swat the
rooster June II!
In testimony whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused the sea-
OF the food and drug department Of
South Dakota to be affixed at Yer
million, this 25th dag Of May, 1915.
Guy &. Frary, Commissioner.
Thousands Of circulars have been
distributed among merchants and
farmers calling attention to Rooster
day and giving suggestions on the
care Of eggs. Better prices will be
paid by many dealers on Rooster day
and everything promises to the mar.

year than lat, when all records were

South Dakota Boys All Right.

Aberdeen.-Physically, the country
boys of Brown county and northern
South Dakota are above par. This
was demonstrated in physical tests OF
boys from the rural schools of Brown
county, and those attending the train
ing school at the Northern Nor al
and Industrial school, at the normal
school. Points were given in each
event for standard ability, and gold,
silver and bronze buttons were given
boys making 100 per zen or more.
Ten gold buttons were given boys
making 200 points, 13 silver buttons
We're awarded boys making $50 points,
and s bronze buttons were given boys
making 100 points. The tests included
dashes, high Jump, broad jump, run
ming high jump, baseball throwing and
Ginning the bar. The few boys who
we're not up to par fell down because
of oyerwOrk.
Pierre.-That a superintendent or
vice president OF a county board OF
health is not entitled to mileage and
examination fees. when he is called as
2 regular practicing physician to treat
a case and finds that it is one of con-
tagious disease. is the holding of the
state legal department, this On inquiry
as to the rights Of a physician in such
cases. The holding being that there
can be no mileage. when the physi-
clan Is at the point where the case
exists, and that he cannot charge the
county for services where he has been
called as q private physician.
