INFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST
Fertile Germ in Hot Weather Quickly
Becomes Blood Ring, Spelling
Ego for Market

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Farmers lose millions of dollars an
nually from bad methods of produc-
ing and handling eggs. One-third of
this loss is preventable, because 1t
Is due to the partial Matching of fer
tile eggs which have been allowed to
become warm enough to begin to in
cubate.
The rooster makes the egg fertile.
The fertile esq makes the blood ring.
You can save the money now lost from
blood rings by keeping the male bird
from your flock after the Matching
season Is over.
The rooster does not help the hens
to lay. He merely fertilizes the germ
OF the egg. The fertile germ in hot
weather quickly becomes blood ring,
which spells the egg for food and
market. Summer heat has the same
effect on fertile eggs as the hen or
incubator.
After the Matching season cook, sell
or pen your rooster. Your hens not
running with male bird will produce
infertile eggs-quality eggs that keep
best and market best.
Rules for handling eggs on the
farm: Heat Is the great enemy of
eggs. both fertile and infertile. Farm.
ers 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
one nest for every four hens.
.. Gather the eggs twice daily.
5. Keep the eggs in cool, dry
room or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least twice
week.
5. Sell. kill. or confine all male
birds as soon as the Matching season
Is over.

VATICAN SENDS OUT
 OWN LEAGUE IDEAS.
Official Organ Says It Can Be Con- StitutCd In More Simple Eh
 Manner.

Rome, March 11.-Thc Observatore Romano, the semi -OtIiciaI organ of the Vatican, prints an article on the league of nations which is undcrst OOd to emhOdN the viewpoint of the Holy Sec. It says the league "nliGht have been constituted in a simpler manner" and outlines the functions ofthe league as follows:
 'The setting up Of an arbitration tribunal to solve international con fliCts.
 "Thc fo1ma tion of a society of all civilized nations, including those de- IcatCd in the war which will pledge themselves to submit their differences tO tribunal and accept it's rulings.
 "The bringing about of an agree mcnt to declare an economic boycott against any nation which refuses to submit controversies to a tribunal or which will not accept decisions on matters which have been submitted"
 In conclusion the article recalls that such project was suGgostc cd in the pOpC's appeal to bcIliccrCnt na- tOnS on August 1. 1917.

FOOD IS VERY SCARCE
People in Northcrn Russia Really Have Not Enough to Live American Doctors Report.

Archangcl, March II. (By the As sociatcd Press) The food situation in northern Russia is causing some concern. Between ArchanGcl and Omega where a heavy frost late last summer killed even the Arctic sum- mer berries the people have already eaten the ration fixed for next June.
 American army surgeons have an alNzcd the civilian ration for the en- tre population in tho north Russian district and found it contains only 1 - 1 36 calorcs daily. A man doing no work needs TITO and soldiers receive at least 3.5OO calorics daily. The ci- william ration, according to surgeons may be sufficient to sustain life through the winter but the people will be drawing on their reserve strength exposing themselves to dan ger from disease.
 The desperate need for fOOdsl uffs In the regions far north along the Arctic shores was brought sharply to the at tentiOn of the Allied food commission when delegates from Pechora and Mezcme arrived by reindeer teams and campcd at the doors of the com- mittec urging assistance. They brought samples of the inferior bread they were forced to eat. .
 Surgeons at present cannot carry sufliccnt food for themselves not to speak Of supplies over the nearly 5jO miles of country between Archangcl and the regions calling for relief. The only hope of sending food to thcso people is by means of a big ice brcak- CT loaded with provisions

Henry Sperry of New Britain has purchased the old building and fac tory at Beckley which was formerly used as feed mill and plans in the near future, to turn it into an iron foundry. It is said that the business will probably be operated on the same Dian as the iron foundry of the Vul- can Iron Works at New Britain and the products will go to MiddletoWn by way of the electric line in this local fly. The factory is known in this locality as a canning factory, having been established over 20 years ago for the purpose of canning vegetables. At that time the manaGem ent of the fac tory made contra cts with the local farmers about the town for sweet corn and tomatoes, which were the prin- cipal vegetables canned.
 This business, however, was brief and the factory was turned into a feed mill which was conducted by the Beckley Milling company for a num- ber of years. For the last few years, owing to the fact that the milling company was forced to go out of Business, the factory has been idle It was proposed during the rush of gov ernment orders for gas masks and hand GrCnadcs and other governme ent articles used in the recent war that the factory be used in making these articles, but the fact that more con- genient factories were used kept the local factory in the discard

Sperry as yet has made no def mite plans as to how soon he will put the plant into operation, but the en- tire building is being oVerhauled by local contractors, who state that the repair work will in all probability take two weeks. It is estimated that the factory, after it has begun oper- ations, will employ about 30 men. It is also being planned by the manage mcnt that machinery which will have to be used in this new factory, is to be brought here from a concern at !, Springfield which recently closed.
