INFERTILE EGGS
TO AVOID LOSSES

The farmers of the United States
lose each year large sums because of
improper methods of producing and
handling eggs. 1-3 at least of this
loss is easily preventable. 1t is due
to the partial Matching of fertile eggs.
The eggs laid by hen may be either
fertile or infertile. depending on
whether or not the male bird has been
allowed to run with the female. A
fertile egg is ! in which the germ has
been fertillzod by the male bird Ex-
cept for this process of fertilization,
the male bird has no influence upon
the eggs which the hens lay. Egg
production is equally great in flocks
from which roosters are excluded. A
fertile egg does not keep as we'll as
an infertile one because the fertilized
germ responds more readily to high
temperatures than the unfertil!zed
one. 1t Is impossible to hatch an in
fertile egg or to cause blood ring to
form in one. Such eggs are much
more likely to reach the table in good
condition and there is much less spoil
age in shipments composed entirely of
them than in mixed shipments of fer
tile and infertile eggs. After the
Matching season, therefore, the male
birds should be cooked, sold or con-
fined. In approximately IA days af-
ter this all the eggs laid by the hens
will be infertile. These can be mar
keted much more successfully under
the adverse conditions that frequently
prevail in the hot summer months.
Rules for handling eggs on the farm
Heat is the great enemy of eggs, both
fertile and infertile. Farmers are
urged to follow these simple rules,
which cost nothing but time and
thought and will add dollars to the
poultry yard returns: l. Keep the
nests clean; provide / nest for every
hens. 2. Gather the eggs twice
daily 8. Keep the eggs in a cool. dry
room or cellar. 4. Market the eggs
at least twice a week. 5. Sell. kill, OF
confine all male birds as soon as the
Matching season Is over.

THE GERMANTOWN
AMERICANS LOYAL
TO THIS COUNTRY

DR.. Frank Strong. chancellor of the
University of Kansas, has sounded a
note of warning that should sink deep
into the heart of every American citi-
zen. He pleads against the alienation
of the fine loyalty of German-Ameri-
cans by misdirected patriotism. Chan
cellor Strong puts the estimate too low
when he says: probably 95 per cent
of the so-called German-Americans In
the United States are loyal to Amer
lea and willing to fight for this coun-
try" OF the descendants of Ger
man-born parents of war age, SO per
cent Of these splendid citizens will, If
necessary, fight for this country with
the same devotion that their fathers
and grandfathers displayed in fight
ing for the Union in the Civil war.
In Kansas, where loyalty to country
is deepest and strongest, 100 per cent
of this fine type of our citizenship will
respond to the LIST call from WASH
ington. Love of country and loyalty
to this government would not be the
only incentive that would actuate the
young German-American citizens of
Kansas to respond to the call. The
glorious history of the German-Ameri-
can soldiers who responded to Lin
coins call, when the nations life was
in peril, is a cherished memory in
every German American home in Kan
sas They have not forgotten, and
others should not forget In these days
of tense anxiety, that the $1,000 Ger
man-American soldiers who fought in
the Civil war came home from the
muster crowned with imperishable
honors. Their loyalty to the home of
their adoption written into history
with their lifes blood, is a lesson in
patriotism worthy of emulation by
every American citizen. And Cham
cellor Strong well says: But unless
we are just we cannot hope to retain
the respect and loyalty Of thousands
of so-called COMMUNICATIONS are
eager to give us. Because a few ire
sponsible Germans talk foollshly, let
us not be unfair to the great body of
German-derived Americans who are
with us heart and soul. Let us not
ALLEVIATE this fine loyalty by misdirect-
ed patriotism. They have been
staunch citizens in peace and they
will be staunch citizens in war. Aft
er peace has come we want no d.
vided country such as we had follow
ing the Civil war. We want no such
