Columbus. \. NJ. April 23-The United

dozen piles Of junk that We're called

back this week.
The remnants Of the others are some

to be brought back on motor trucks. the
rest having been burned. Their pilots
are now making jolty return to Column

portation. In other words. the Mexican
campaign has already proved just about

The TWO aeroplanes that did succeed in
dying back to the cXpeditionary
base gained the titles Suicide machines"

expected that they will be condemned
next week.
Shortly after the aeroplanes first went
into Mexico, when only two or three

When a hen completes the laying Of a

even among the so-called non-sitting yari
cites. she Is imbued with further MA
tcrnal instincts, and is therefore prone
to attempt to hatch them. This tendency
must he discouraged and promptly brok-

off in the egg yield. It's importance can
not be everestimated. especially on COM

ar;ifcially. the hen is not held responsible
for the production Of next seasons pull
let's 1t is the hens exclusive business to
produce eggs. consequently she must be
encouraged in that specially as much as
possible AS soon as she shows signs OF
Sinking her task. she must be held to a
strict accountability" her broodiness
must be Observation-Disclosures not
brutally--and her internal workings
stimulated and spurred on to further
achievements.
Even on the general farm. where chicks
are reered naturally, there are times when
more hens become broody than are ever
needed to hatch the young flock, and be-
cause they are allowed to sit as long as
they choose. without interference from
She farmer, although he may not give
them eggs to sit upon, the habit soon be-
comes confirmed and there is a very no.
ticeable decrease in egg production. Fail
ure to discourage broodiness is probably
the most potent cause for the low egg
production in farm tloclts, and for which
the farmer has nothing TO blame but his
own Indifference or ignorance
EGG PRODUCTION is SECONDARY.
We have all noticed the poor, thin and
emaciated condition of the hen that has
been sitting on nest for a couple of
weeks, and perhaps marveled 3t her
| ability to sustain life at all. when we
consider that she eats and drinks very
little. and takes practically no exercise
| If 1t were not for her internal storehouse
on which she draws heavily for susie
nance. she would not survive Before she
started to sit, she carefully stored up n
supply OF fatty tissue that was intended
to help nouIish her during the period OF
! her inactivity, and the depreciation of
this supply is what causes her to become
so thin
Egg production is in reality the result
! of over iInuation. or what is sometimes
termed a secondary circulation. Fowls
eat to repair and restore the daily wear
and tear on the body tissues. and If this
nourishment is merely equal to this task
alone, there is no surplus left to go to the
production of eggs. 1t Is the excess OF
nourishment. that which is assimilateo
over and above the daily demands of the
body that goes into the stimulation anc
active development of the egg organs
and they progress no faster than thi:
nourishment is provided.
Obviously. the broody hen eats so little
that her egg organs soon become con
tracted. and revert to the dormant STATE
found in the immature pullet. Anothe
good example of this dried-up condition
may lie found in the fowl half way
through the mott. in which the ahdom
nal section that was formerly relaxed
and dstended, is drawn we'll up into m
body, the pelvic bones that We're onc'
