surprise when they learn that dirty
eggs should not be used. 1 speak
from experience, however, when ]
say that such is the case. Slightly
soiled eggs may be used if they are
first carefully cleaned by rubbing
lightly with damp cloth or sponge
If that will not clean them, they
should be put aside for other uses.
Under no circumstances should eggs
be washed thoroughly. The thor
ough wetting and hard rubbing will
destroy natures protective surface
film, thus Fastening evaporation of
the contents and allowing harmful
odors to penetrate the porous she'll.
All eggs in any one hatch should
be as nearly uniform as possible in
size, weight and thickness of she'll.
They should also be of approximate
ly the same age and from the same
variety of fowl. Thin shelled eggs
hatch more easily, as rule, than
thick shelled ones. White eggs
usually hatch more quickly than
darker ones. Leghorn eggs will
probably hatch "a hours sooner than
those from Plymouth Rocks. 1t
will, therefore, be easy to see why
uniformity in all the ways just
mentioned is desirable whenever
practicable. If this rule is follow
ed, practically all eggs will hatch
at or very near the same time, thus
far greater chance for complete
success than would be possible
where eggs of widely varying char
acteristics are mixed together.
1 do not recommend the use of
pullet eggs for Matching. All breed
ing hens should be of good size for
the breed and from 1 to years of
age. If pullets are used at all for
breeders, they should be well ma
tured, lay good size eggs and be
mated to old roosters.
Another important factor that
greatly influences the chances for
successful incubation is the relative
freshness of eggs. Those from to
or 6 days old show little difference
as to Matching quality, but after
that they deteriorate rapidly. This
is easily explained. A fresh egg
contains just enough water to de-
fO4Op InC OluDIyO WAA1O IL 10 SlduudA-
ly developing into a chick. AS an
egg shell is porous, the water will
evaporate more or less rapidly, the
exact degree depending on the tenn
perature and relative humidity of |
the place in which the eggs are
kept. After that natural internal |
moisture has passed out of the
shell, there is no way on earth of |
restoring it in such a way that it
can contribute to the building up of
bone, muscle or nerve tissues in the
baby chick. Exactly how long eggs
may be safely held before their
qualities are seriously af-
fected cannot be arbitrarily stated.
It is worthy Of note, however, that
many commercial hatcheries invar-
lably show a very high percentage I.
Of eggs successfully hatched in each
setting, and they are often set
when from 10 to IL days old.

"Pigs is pigs" according to the
famous story by Ellis Parker But
Ter, and to great many people eggs
is eggs, regardless of the way in
which they are to be used. When it
concerns eggs for any purpose but
Matching, that view may be as good
as any other, but eggs for Matching
should certainly be selected with ex-
treme care If best results are to be
obtained. There is no great mys-
terry about the process of making
proper selection. On the contrary,
it is a very simple matter. have
seen so much of random selection,
however, that 1 am sure a few
pointers on the subject will not be
amiss.
First of all, let me say what kind
of eggs not to use. Discard all eggs
that are small, abnormally large,
very dirty, irregularly formed and
those with cracked, rough, thin or
irregular shells. 1 would especially
warn everyone against accepting
the common belief that large eggs
are best for Matching. Years of
careful experimentation and close
observation of the work of others
has convinced me that the average
size egg of regular form and color
is the best for Matching. The exact
size will vary, of course, with diff
ferent breeds. The same is true of
color. Any chicken raiser can cas-
ny fudge the size of eggs to use ac-
cording to this advcie and detailed
instructions are not necessary.
The Matching egg should be
sound of shell. 1t should be smooth,
free from uneven or rough spots;
should not be mottled or uneven Of
color; should not be thinner in one
part than in another; should not
have ridges, bumps, humps or bulg-
es, but should be as near to the true
egg shape as possible. A slight un-
evenness or variation from the ideal
shape does not necessarily mean
poor matches, but if the unevenness
of whatever kind you may use is
very noticeable, better put such
eggs aside for market or table use.
Eggs with unusually thin or por-
ous shells are undesirable for hatch
ing. The thin shelled egg is easily
broken in turning.
To many people it will come as

Local Football War AVertod as AI!-HGW BritainS Withdraw

A possible football war in this city which has been looming for the past several weeks. was arcrted last night at the meeting of promoters who are interested in the formation of state football league when mo- tice was served that the All-New Britain Football club would not have team in the field this year. This leaves the local field entirely 10 Bernard Conlcy and his Nutmeg X. T. team.
 The league will bo organized ac- cording 10 Information coming from Hartford, with possibly six teams playing. Thes" will include two teams in Hartford, two in New Haven, one in Bridgeport and the sixth in this city.
 Another meeting of the league will be held in Hartford Sunday afternoon, At this time. definite dope on the makeup of the circuit will b. available.
 Waterbury will not have a team this year due to the fact that Brassco Park, former home of the Waterbury Eastern League Base ball club, has been sold and will not be available. This is the only foot ball field in the Brass city that is en- cosad and without it, the promoters there do not feel that they will meet success in promotion of an eleven.
 Two teams from New Haven. the Williams eleven and the All-Ncw Haven crow, were represented. Both teams will operate at Weiss Park or the Savin Rock baseball field.
 Pigeon Conley, local promoter, states that he has already a team signed lip for the coming season and "Pee-Wee" WcrWais will be the field captain. Although he hasn't divuIgcd the names of any other players on the eleven, Conley states th2t he will have a number of popu- lar players on the squad and he hopes to have as strong an eleven aa has represented this city in some years
 If he decides definitely to enter the league, the local promoter figures on having an eleven that will be able to hold it's own and then some in the circuit.
