To Lower Egg LOSSES,

Five million dollars worth of eggs
spoiled in Missouri last year. Most
Of this loss occurred during last sum-
mer when fertile eggs were being plac-
ed on the market. A large part OF the
eggs lost, therefore, are due to the
spoilage of the fertile eggs during hot
weather Poultry interests are urg-
ing that ROSTERS be disposed of, or
separated from the laying flock dur
ing the summer time, after all of the
eggs necessary for Matching have been
produced. BOOSTERS which are not
needed should be sold or eaten, so
that the feed which they would ord
inarily consume could be saved. The
University of Missouri College Of Az
riculture recommends that ROSTERS
which are to be kept for next seasons
breeding be placed in a pen and kept
away from the laying flock through
out the hot weather.
The rooster Is of no service after
the Matching season is over, but his
presence in the flock will cause mil
lions of dollars of loss to the poultry
business during warm weather. Fer
tile eggs spoil very easily when the
temperature is favorable. In hot
weather it is almost impossible to
keep fertile eggs without spoilage.
The infertile eggs are not nearly so
hard To keep from spelling.
