be cut in the top of the box to allow
the heat to escape
The eggs are tested with the large
end up, so that the size of the air cell
may be seen as well as the condition
of the embryo. The testing should
take place in a dark room. The infer
tile egg, when held before the small
hole, with the lamp lighted inside the
box, will look perfectly clear, the same
as fresh one, while q fertile egg will
show small dark spot, known as the
embryo, with a mass of little blood
veins extending in all directions, if the
embryo is living; if dead and the egg
has been incubated for at least 46
hours, the blood settles away from the
embryo toward the edges of the yolk,
forming in some cases an irregular
circle of blood, known as blood ring
Eggs vary in this respect, some show
ing only a streak of blood. All infer
tile eggs should be removed at the
first test. The eggs containing strong,
living embryOs are dark and well filled
up on the fourteenth day, and show a
clear, sharp, distinct line of demarca-
ton between the air cell and the grow
ing embryo, while dead germs show
only partial development, and lack this
clear, distinct outline.

Poultry. houses may be bnilt with or
without floors. In either case they
should be dry, as damp floors make
damp filters, and dampness is fatal
to both fowls and chicks. IF the house
is on dry, sandy soil, a dirt floor is
usually quite satisfactory, but as a
rule it is more damp than board or
cement floors, according TO the United
States department of agriculture. Dirt
floors should be scraped and new soil
put in two or three times year to
keep them sanitary. If hoard floors
are used they should be both tight and
smooth so far as to make them dry

should be eight or ten inches from the
