KEEP EGGS COOL.

However, even five days is often too
short time for the average poultry
owner to secure setting of eggs and
it is always necessary to keep hatch
ing eggs certain length of time be-
fore they can be placed under a hen
OF in an incubator. The best place to
store them is in cool place such as
a cellar where the air does not have
enough motion to cause any marked
evaporation of the liquid contents of
the eggs. A temperature of 45 or so
degrees is best for keeping Matching
eggs in good condition. They should
never be kept in kitchen or warm
room, as incubation starts at tenn
perature of SO degrees.
Probably nothing so much discour-
ages a poultry owner as to have "bad
luck" in Matching his baby chicks.
Therefore. the points just outlined re-
garding the selection and care of
Matching eggs. which have been found
by years of experience and expert
mert by careful poultry raisers to be
absolutely essential to best results,
should be welcomed by anyone who
intends to set even a few eggs this
season. If carried out. they are sure
to be the means Of bringing both in
creased satisfaction and profits.

CAREFUL GATHERING.

When you are ready to save the
eggs you should Immediately begin to
exercise the care that goes far to-
wards insuring uniform, vigorous
chicks. This care starts with the COL
lecting of the eggs. This should be
done at least two or three times daily,
in order to avoid any danger of pre-
mature incubation or of subsection to
temperature that might freeze the
eggs. 1T is necessary that the eggs
be clean and this will be assured if
you see that the nests contain clean
material, that there is deep litter on
the floor and that no birds roost in the
nests.
Matching eggs must be handled
carefully at all times. A little con-
sideration enables one to realize that
a fertile egg is really delicate living
organism and must be given careful
treatment if it is to hatch into a live,
vigorous chick Rough or careless
handling is likely to rupture the in
ternal membranes and make an egg
useless for Matching.
Upon the selection of the Matching
eggs depends to very large extent
the number and kind of chicks that
will be produced. No egg should be
set that for any reason whatever
seems likely to fail in Matching or
Liable to produce an undesirable
chick. Each egg should be examined
carefully and any that are too large
or to small. of unusual shape or that
have thin, notified, coarse or porous
shells should be rejected.

Selecting, Handling And Caring For Matching Eggs
By G. E. CONKEY.

Good matches of healthy, vigorous
chicks are the desire and rightly so,
of every poultry owner. To secure
them, however, requires not only that
the breeding birds be sound. healthy,
carefully selected and mated but also
that exceptional care be used in select
ing, handling and caring for the
Matching eggs.
Of course, each setting of eggs
should possess high percentage OF
fertility and to insure this no eggs
should be saved for Matching for at
least two weeks after the breeding
birds have been mated.

FRESH EGGS BEST.

Undoubtedly the most necessary re-
quirement of Matching eggs is that
they be fresh. Every day after a fer
tile egg is week old it loses some
what in Matching power and under nc
circumstances should eggs be set that
are more than two weeks old To dc
so is to greatly increase the chances
of death in the shell' or of weak
chicks if the eggs hatch. Of course, il
is impossible to set eggs as soon as
they are laid, but it has been proven
by careful experiments that best re-
suits are obtained when eggs from
two to five days old are set.

UNIFORM SIZED EGGS.

The aim of the poultry owner should
be TO secure eggs of uniform size. as
such settings will be most likely to
produce uniform chicks. Experienced
poultry breeders agree that no hatch
ing egg should weigh less than two
ounces, but extremely large eggs are
also undesirable. Thin shelled eggs
should never be used for Matching, for.
even if they do not become broken
during incubation, they allow the liq-
uid contents of the eggs to evaporate
too rapidly.

Eggs having a ridge around the
middle or possessing other peculiari-

hatch. but it is unwise to use them. as
there is danger of the chicks being
abnormal in some respect. 1t should
also be remembered that even though
the chicks from such eggs are appar-
emily all right, the pullets may inherit

hoping that they will have a chance
to make the deficit still larger by

comparison with liabilities and obi

paid by the issue of state bonds, will
fall upon institutions operated in the
interests of humanity. State hospi-

tails, 1927, 1925; universities and other

burden of the deficit falls largely IN
on those who are wards of the state
in other words, the liquor business in
Maryland has made these large ap-

the product of the saloon might be
