GERMANY's FOOD CRISIS.
London Report Declares Situation to Be

LONDON. June 1.-THE food situation
in Germany is becoming more critical,

of the most indispensable articles OF
food have been reduced or are no longer
procurable and people are again begin

food to feed the population of the large
towns during the three critical months
ahead. As to the situation in the imme-
date future everything indicates that the
period until the fruits of the new harvest
become available is likely to be one OF
grave anxiety and distress for the Ger
man people. M
Only direct necessity could have com

great relief from the Ukraine, they can

that quarter. In this connection til,

Coop Hens; Let Chicks Range.

1t is best to cOnfine the mother hens
until the chicks are weaned. The
mother hen that is allowed to range
unrestricted with her chicks frequent
~ takes her brood through wet grass
and as result some are chilled and
die, especially the weaker ones which
are likely to be left behind The loss
of young chicks which follows such
practice is large and mainly prevent

bird will produce infertile eggs-qual-
ity eggs that keep best and market
best.
Fertile Egg Spells Quickly.
A fertile egg is just the opposite of
the infertile in many respects. It is
the egg that is produced from hens
that are running with male birds. al
though occasionally there are hens
running with male birds that lay in
fertile eggs. This Is often the case
with hens that are confined in yards
and runs. and birds that do not have
green feed, or those that are overfat.
The fertile egg should only be pro-
dnced during the breeding season. The
fertile egg is the one from which the
chick is Matched, and that sPoils SO
quickly when subjected to the ordinary
methods of handling on the, farm and
when marketed In the. hot summer

Male Not Necessary.

An infertile egg is one that is laid
by hen that has not been allowed to
run with male bird. In most cases
II days is long enough to wait for the
eggs to become infertile after the male
bird is removed from the females. The
male bird in the flock has no influence
on the number of eggs the hens lay.
He merely fertilizes the germ of the
egg, which is not necessary when the
egg is to be sent to market or used for
table purposes. 1t is impossible to
hatch an infertne egg or to cause a
blood ring to form in one. Infertile
eggs keep in good condition in temper.
