LNFERTILE EGGS
IN LATE SPRING

Many commercial chick hatcheriea
are complaining about the large per
centage of infertile eggs. according to
the directors OF the International
Baby Chick association who met with
poultry specialists OF the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Many OF the matches. they report. show
that less than 20 or 80 per cent Of the
eggs available are fertile. whereas In
normal years fertility runs as high az
30 per cent or more.
Fertility is largely a management
problem" says DR.. n. A. JUL. In
charge Of poultry Investigations, Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture,
land infertility is due largely to the
cold and wet weather, which causes
deviation from normal handling OF
the average flock. The only way that
hatcheries can be certain of securing
a high percentage OF fertile eggs from
farmers or others is to buy only from
aocks that are properly managed
There Is no practical or scientific
method known by which lnfertile eggs
can be detected before incubation
backward weather has resulted In
many fiocks being confined 10 a great
er extent than usual and a consequent
lack Of sufficient exercise to insure
fertile eggs. Then. too, under confne-
ment, too many males may be cause
Of low fertility. They spend too much
time in lighting each other Under
normal range or yard conditions one
male to fifteen or twenty hens Of the
more active breeds, such as Leghorns.
Is about right. In the heavier breeds.
one male TO ten or twelve hens will
be required. Fewer males than this
would be better In each case when
the birds are In close confinement.
Breeding stock should have g va
riety Of feed, consisting OF grains,
meat, and green feed. The green feed
is especially essential II the birds are
confined. Free range or exercise helps
materially in the production Of hatch
able eggs.

Best Dairy Farmers Try
to Raise Winter Feeds

The dairy farmer who raises all or
nearly all his feed ON his own farm
usually makes more profit per. COW
than does the neighbor who buys the
feed for his dairy cattle, declares
J. w. Linn, dairy specialist at the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
Profitable dairying on the average
farm includes the growing Of most
Of the desired feeds for the winter
months, according TO Linn. Profit from
the COW depends largely on grow
ing enough Of the right kind Of feeds,
be says.
II II is impossible to grow all OF
the feed on the place, substitutes
Of other feeds can be made. If
farmer has alfalfa or other roughage
he needs also a grain supplement to
feed the concentrated elements nee
essary. There is no grain, however,
that can take the place Of bulky
roughage as a scarce Of carbohydrates
or as a filler.

Feed for Young Turkeys
Is of Great Importance

Young turkeys should not be fed
for 80 to As hours after they are
Matched. AS soon as they are active,
however, on their feet. they may be
given water and allowed to pick at
sand or gravel It does no harm and
perhaps IT is a good idea to give them
young. tender green's. the best Of
which is perhaps short grass on the
sod.
The first feeds usually given are
stale dry bread crumbs moistened
with sweet milk. They are fed very
little of this about every two or three
hours. 1t is not a bad idea to scat
ter a little sand in this, too. just a
little. Other feeds are hard-bolled
eggs, boiled to the crumbly stage,
mashed and sometimes mixed with
bread crumbs. rolled oats that have
been rubbed in the hands 20 make
them q little finer, etc.
Pinhead oatmeal and chick feed,
usually called chick starter. are also
good feeds 70 give In limited quaint
ties. But with these they must have
some animal food to provide the anil
NAL protein, such as milk. high-grade
beef scraps. etc. MIX Is the product
usually used. Some use 1t sweet and
some use II sour. Those that use It
sour generally pour of the whey and
feed the thick part only.

CHE
AMERICAN
oL-I:.GUN
80, 900 LEGION MEN
WILL GO TO FRANCE

The American Legion convention In
France next year win be the most
representative national convention
ever held by the Legion. according to
Bowman Elder. chairman Of the France
convention travel committee Of the LIE
gion.
1T IL significant that the convention
is to be held on the tenth anniversary
OF the entry Of the United States into
the World war" Mr. Elder said. One
OF the principal objects In holding the
convention abroad Ia to enable the
former doughboys to visit the Ameri.
can battlehelds IN France and to en-
able them to pay homage to the thou
sands OF their former comrades who
now lie buried IN the soil OF France.
'It win be a great pilgrimage. be-
hind which there lies high and
sacred patriotic purpose, the resolve
60 rededicate the American Legion
and its membership to the Ideals OF
freedom and democracy the same
ideals for which those who are today
buried In France died and which In
hplred the Organization OF the Legion
ten years before"
Mr.. Elder explained that though
10000 veterans would be taken to
France on the Legion pilgrimage. max
Ing the crossing In "a luxurious ocean
liners, this would probably be less
than the number Of those who actu-
ally wanted to go. In order to give
everyone an equal chance, definite
quotas were to be assigned to each
state, based on membership OF the
Legion In any particular state during
the year 1925.
THE Legion ls further particularly
anxious to make II possible for the
men Of moderate means who could
probably never AFFORD to 80 to France
as a regular tourist TO join the Legion
expedition" Mr.. Elder declared. He
explained that on behalf Of these men
campaign had been lnaugurated by
the France convention travel commit
tee to obtain the cooperation Of EN-
ployers In granting extra vacation
time In 1927. It viii require at least
four weeks 20 make the trip to
France and back.
Many Legionnaires who want to 30
TO France feel that It is futile to save
their money unless they can obtain
the necessary extra vacation time"
Mr.. Elder declared. I'VE are there
fore trying TO assist them by bringing
their problem to the attention OF EN-.
ployers IN ali parts OF the country.
"wherever this has been done. we
have received the heartiest co-opera-
ton. A number Of large corporations
have already issued bulletins in which
they promise their employees who are
ex-service men an opportunity to ob.
tain at least four weeks vacation In
1927. Employers associations in ali
sections have given 1t the stamp Of
heir approval"
The cost Of the trip will be within
he reach of almost all veterans, Mr.
elder pointed out. The lowest inclu-
dive rate which viii provide transpor-
alton both ways on the Atlantic. ho-
eI In Paris and trips to American
and American battlehelds
gIll be approximately s175. The en-.
ire trip. including all expenses can be

LIVESTOCK EXPERT RECOMMENDS ADJUSTMENT
OF FEES FOR GRAZING ON NATIONAL FORESTS

Upholding methods used by the
forest service, United States depart
ment of agriculture, in appraising
range values and fixing fees for
grazing in national forests, but rec
ommending somewhat smaller in
creases than those proposed, the re-
port Of Dan D. Easement, expert
livestock grower Of Colorado Springs,
appointed by the secretary Of agri-
culture to make an impartial review
of this whole subject, is now in the
hands Of Secretary William M. Jar
dine. A final conference with stock
men will be held by the secretary in
Salt Lake City in January.
Differences over grazing fees in
the national forests have existed
since the boom days Of the livestock
industry in 1920, when members Of
congress from the Middle West urged
large increase in charges for graz
ing on national lands. The forest
service undertook at that time to
make a comprehensive appraisal of
the value of national forest ranges
based upon rentals paid for similar
lands in private ownership. This
work was completed in 1925, but its
results have not been applied because
of depressed economic conditions in
the livestock industry. Meantime
many stockmen have opposed the
principle of valuing range lands il
the national forests by the CONNER
cial standards prevailing in the case
OF state and private pastures. Thu
differing viewpoints on this question
were among the reasons that led Il
an investigation of the national for
ests last year by the senate commit
tee on public lands; and various bills
have been before congress seekin|
both to settle what the range charges
should be and to give the livestOcl
industry more clearly defined right
to the use of forage in national for
ests.
The Easement report sustains tn
method of apprsising national fores
ranges on commercial principles sim
liar to those controlling the value o
private range lands. 1t commend
the thoroughness Of the appraisal
made by the forest service, whic
were based on five years of intensiv
investigation covering 1000 tracts O
! private grazing land which contai
{ over 20,000,000 acres. It also assert
) that national forest administratio
{ has benefited the livestock industr
: and that there is a greater deman
e for grazing permits than can be SUI
piled. Mr.. Easement recommend
however, that the new grazing fee
i be somewhat lower than those orig

CALIFORNIA Turns
TO MONTANA FOR
fine dairy COWS

California is coming to Montana
for its dairy cows. During the past
few months from IL to Is carloads OF
good dairy cattle from Montana have
been added to the herds of dairymen
supplying the whole milk market Of
the large cities of southern Califor-
MIA. It appears entirely probably al
so that the demand for Montana cat
tie will increase in the next few years,
making this an important factor in
the future development of dairying
in this state, advises J. o. Tretsven,
dairy specialist for the Montana Ex-
tension service.
The present demand is for cows
that are heavy with calf or that have
recently frecshened. Cows are de-
sired which conform in color an gen.
eral characteristics to the breed they
represent. The age of the animals is
not of prime importance, since they
are used primarily for milking pur-
poses and are usually disposed of as
beef at the end of the lactation peri
cd. The animals, therefore, should
be in good health and condition.
Discussing the new source of rev.
enue open to dairymen of the state
Mr.. Tretsven says:
"Should this market for dairy cat.
tie continue, it viii be a great helI
in the development of the dairy in
dustry in the state. According 4
buyers, and others who have investi
gated the demand for dairy cows fol
market milk Purposes in California
it is believed that there will be I
growing demand for dairy cow
for many years to come. IF thi
proves to be the case, it VIII Civ,
dairymen a market for their surplus
animals at a much better price thar
they can get for them through th
butcher.
GA good, dependable market fo
surplus dairy cattle is desirable am
certainly is another incentive +
raise more and better cattle in tn
future. The only difficulty is tina
too many animals may be sold fror
herds in a community before eithe
the herds or the industry in genera
has properly developed"
