Cooling Eggs.

In an experiment to determine the
best method Of cooling eggs in an in
cubatOr, the eggs in an incubator con-
tanning eight trays were cooled for

results were cooled as follows: First

Middletown transcript., 1916-12-09

In an experiment conducted by the
Canada experiment farms to determine
the number of eggs that would be fer
tilted with one mating only, five fer
tilted eggs appeared to be the maxi
mum. In a fertility test following II
hours mating it was apparent that
this method was more conducive to re-
suits than the one mating only proved
to be. In trials to determine the in
crease Of pen fertility after the intro
ductiOn of the male, maximum fertil-
Ity, 100 per cent, was reached in a pull
let pen six days after mating, and Oc-
CURED three times in a period of 21
days. The same fertility was reached
in a pen Of old hens on the eleventh
day after introducing the male, but the
fertility increased more rapidly and
continued a great deal stronger in the
pullet pen than in the pen of old hens.
One male was also kept with a White
Leghorn hens. Though the percentage
of fertility was highest when only 56.8
per cent of the hens were laying, the
total hatch was only 1873 per cent.
When 86.4 per cent Of the pen were
laying, the total hatch was 48.1 per
cent and the fertility 87.7 per cent. In
other tests without mating again fer
tility could not be traced in eggs laid
after hens had been broody for any
length of time.

A Big Parade in Prospect.

Every day adds to the prospect of a
preparedness parade for Washington
that will arrest the attention of tie
country. The plans are developing $"
rapidly that the chief problem of those
in charge of the arrangements will be
to provide places in line for all who
wish to march to attest to the demand
for an adequate provision for the ma
tional defense. Organizations already
formed have sought positions in line
and other organizations are forming to
claim positions. 1t is proposed to give
the departments a holiday to afford tie
government employees an opportunity to
participate in body, which would make
the capitals representation one of the
largest, in proportion, of the cities that
has thus far formed preparedness pa
rades The school children. too, may
appear in line. A spirit of high en.hu-
siasm for the project prevails, and there
is every prospect of demonstration of
great size and of marked significance
The time for preparation is short, but
with the energy that is being displayed
on the part of those in charge of the
enterprise there can be no failure.

James J. Hill.

James J. Hill was the last of the great
railroad builders of this country. Ac-
tive to within a short time of his death,
which occurred yesterday at st. Paul,
he was the embodiment of determination
to give the northwest an adequate sys-
tenn of transportation. His career was
one of the romances with which the new
world is replete. He rose from the soil
to a position of commanding influence
in the great business world of his adopt
ed country. As lad he came to tho
United States to seek his fortune, and
he made it by dint of unfagging energy,
coupled with a remarkable foresight
and a great shrewdness of calculation.
1t was no ordinary form of business
acumen that enabled the young man,
moving about the river trade routes of
the middle west. to see the need of i'm
proved means of transportation Others
had perhaps realized the necessities, but
young Hill attacked the problem fear
lessly and in the face of discourage
ments and the scorn of skeptics made
possible the linking up of the immense
sources Of supply and the markets.
It is NO exagseration to say that
James J. Hill added billions of value
to the country. He made fortune for
himself and his associates, but he gave
fortunes to countless numbers, who

profted by the facilities he created for
the moving of the great grain crops and
other supplies which the world needed.
Possessed of vivid Imagination and a
keen sense Of values, lie dared to push
his enterprises where others feared to
venture. He developed a masterful
spirit of determination that was never
checked but rather spurred by Oh
stacles. His rehabilitation of decrepit
railroad system gave him his first great
foundation, and thereafter his activity
was one of construction and develop
ment
Hill has been called an empire builder
The title was we'll earned. 1t was h s
work that brought the granarios of the
northwest into reach of the markets. He
developed the ore lands of Minnesota
and made possible the extension of thu
great iron and steel industry that has
made this country a tremendous power
in the world. He laid the foundations
for large cities in the wide area tapped
and fed and made vital by his railways.
Through these works he did more to eff
feet an economic distribution of the
American population than any other
man of his time.
James J. Hill deserves to be borne for
ever in mind by the American people as
one of the most useful citizens of this
country. Though born in another lana,
across the Canadian boundary he was
in all essentials American in spirit. AMI
his works were for the benefit of his
adopted country

Memorial Day.

Memorial day possesses this year a
greater significance than in the past,
for it is observed not only with the
echoes of the tremendous conflict of
Europe resounding in this land, but
with the country energeticallv prepar-
ing itself for more adequate system
of national defense. 1t is well serious
" to consider what Memorial day
means 1t signifies the honor in which
are held the men who gave their lives
for their country in its hour of peril.
1t means that they are remembered
with gratitude. their sacrifices apprc-
ciated. 1t should stimulate every mem
Der of the younger generation to
high pitch of patriotism to stand by the
grave of one who fell more than half a
century ago fighting for the preserva-
ton of the Union and to realize what
war may mean to individuals and to
communities
War is not desired by the American
people. They want peace. and will CON
time to build their national structure
upon the foundation of peace principles.
But they want that peace to be honor
able. They want their land to stand
among the foremost in the world. a
symbol of liberty and progress and
justice. And to that end they want that
it should be prepared to fight. if need
be. for the principles of true American
ism. There is no disposition here to
go forth to seek an enemy. There is
no desire for the territory of others.
But in the recent realization of the
peril in which the United States lies to-
day, in the light of late happenings in
other lands, the people of this country
are determined that it shall be made
ready for defense against any foe.
The prayer of the country is that no
future Memorial day will find the Gem
eteries filled with fresh sacrifices on the
altar of patriotic need. Enough lives
have been spent already to prove that
in the emergencies of national exist
ence there is no lack of concern for
the eountry's requirements. And in
contemplating the duties of the present
there is the deepest regard for the men,
cries of those who faced fearlessly and
devotedly the duties of the past.

1t is not a party measure. The two
parties divided on it. both in House and
Senate. Pork" has no politics. What
is there in this for me," is an inquiry
as likely from one side as the other, and
is often heard from both.
In the contest just closed there was
the usual charge of gallery playing. 1t
nents of the measure had heir eyes
more on November than on economy !;
that they were seeking votes iather than
to save money for the people.
1t is suggested that this viii prove
the last triumph for pork; that pub
lie sentiment is now we'll informed on
the subject. and that the next Congress.
instructed by that sentiment. viii make
appropriations for waterways on lines
insuring better returns for investments
made.
This is a consummation deroutly to
be wished. A good deal of money has
been wasted. Schemes without merit at
all have been adopted. Schemes with
but small merit have been orerindulged
Schemes of indisputable merit have not
been properly developed. The general
result has been unsatisfactory. and has
led to what has come to be known as
the anti-pork movement.
This movement will continue. 1t he's
grown considerably in the last few
years. But much remains to be done be-
fore success is achieved. The simple
cry of pork" will not be sufficient.
"Pork' does not describe much that en-
tiers into river and harbor appropria-
tons Our waterways are proper
charges on the national government, and
should be kept in serviceable condition.
Likewise our harbors. Both enter
prominently into the equation of ma
tional preparedness as that proposition
has been pressed upon the country by
the European war. Besides, our do
nestle development calls for gener-
Gus recognition of all agencies of trans
portation.
Our supply bills will be large for

but we cannot escape, the conditions
that have brought so many new needs
