WATCH GOOD LAYER
TO PICK BEST EGGS
Shape of Body and Head Is
Not Reliable Guide.

Science blasted persistent myth
Of the American barnyard when De-
partment of Agriculture investiga-
tors announced that there Is no
mathematical relationship between
the shape of a hens egg and her
potential egg production.
Months of delicate measuring,
weighing, counting, tabulating and
cross-indexing were required to
demonstrate the scientific truth that
neither the shape of hens body
nor the shape of her head bears any
relationship to her egg production.
Apparently" the scientific in
quiry concluded, "a hens ability to
lay depends upon egg-laying ances-
try"
To gather the information upon
which these general conclusions
were based, the departments inves-
tigators devised trap nest. Under
the general direction of ]. P. Quinn,
"a poultry specialist in the bureau
of animal industry, the government
test was checked on two widely di-
vergent types of chickens.
investigators measured the live
birds, the dressed carcasses, and the
bones of about 400 trapnested
White LeghOrn and Rhode Island
Red hens" the report says. "They
could find no relationship between
egg production or egg size and the
shape of the hens body. They con-
clude that the shape, of the body,
as indicated by length of keel and
the width and depth of the body,
have been much overemphasized In
culling practices. Similarly, the
shape of the head, often regarded
as an Indicator of laying capacity,
was not safe guide. Head and
skull measurements revealed no fac
tor-length, breadth, or depth of
Iskull-associated with high capacity
for egg production. The weight of
the brains was not a criterion as
to the number, total weight, or
average weight of the eggs the bird
had laid"
The surest way to pick out good
producers. the bulletin suggests, Is
by the empirical method-that Is.
by watching the suspected good lay
ers and counting their eggs.

Blood Spot in an Egg
Does Not Indicate Age

A small blood spot in an egg does
not indicate that the egg is stale
or bad, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, in response
to frequent inquiries.
Blood spots are found occasion
ally In fresh eggs, although this i'm
perfection seldom occurs In the best
grades of eggs that are candled and
sold on the market. Eggs from
farm fiocks are not so likely to con-
tain blood spots as those from COM
mercial flocks that are fed for max
imum production.
The seasons when blood spots are
most likely to occur are late spring
when the hens are laying heavily,
and in the fall when the pullets be-
gin to lay.
Poultrymen who desire TO remove
all questionable eggs from those
marketed should candle their en-
tire production and use such eggs
at home. Less forcing for egg pro-
duction and liberal feeding of green
feed will tend to reduce the forma-
tion of blood spots In eggs.-Scien-
tific American.

What Pullets Cost

Records on 46,121 pullets, kept
during a period of three years in six
leading poultry producing counties
in California, give the net cash cost
of raising pullets To- six months of
age as 20 cents. When labor. de-
preciation. and interest on invest
ment were added. the net cost of
raising each pullet increased to 30
cents. The total cost was S1.36, but
there was an income of 33 cents
from sale of cockere'S and pullets.
of three cents from sale of eggs,
and a miscellaneous income of one
cent. These figures, according to
L. D. Sanborn. assistant farm ad-
wiser in Los Angeles county. were
gathered by the agricultural extern
sion service of the University OF
California; Angeles Times.

POULTRY HINTS

Plenty of rich mash with an
ample supply of cracked corn will
improve the quality of market tur-
keys.
About 20 per cent of all farms In
Wisconsin have chicks. II per cent
raise geese or ducks, and s per
cent keep turkeys.
Clean litter on the food every
day in the year makes the poultry
house more sanitary and helps in
keeping the flock healthy.
Egg production is lower this year
in Wisconsin. There are per cent
fewer hens and nearly q per cent
fewer eggs per hundred birds.
Hens will normally mott once a
year and If you have been getting
good production from your birds
the entire year, you are fortunate
that they have not mOIted before.
The best layers mott in late fall.

CLIFFORD WANTS
SUCCESSION
SETTLED

Legislation to avert the posi-
bility of the United States having
no President was demanded to-
day by Representative Charles
Clifford (R.) of Massachusetts, as
q result of the attempted Staying
Of President-elect Roosevelt.
This contingency, he said,
might arise through the deaths
or failure to qualify by both the
President-elect and the Vice
PreSident-elect.
What Would Happen
The need for legislation, Gif-
ford said, was recognized 130
years ago, but no action has ever
been taken. The Norris reSolu-
ton abolishing lame duck" seS-
sions of Congress, he added, en-
powered Congress to meet the
situation. He said:
"Under the twentieth (NOrris)
amendment there is no question
that the Vice PreSident-elect
would become President in event
of the death of the President
elect.
But if the Vice President
elect should also die or fail to
qualify, there seems to be no
question that there would be
chaos in government.
OPINION DIFFERS
"There seems to be no au-
thOrity vested in Congress, or
even in the Supreme Court, to
provide for succession. 1t is
well understood that after in
auguratiOn, provision is made
for the Secretary of State, and
other Cabinet officers in line,
to assume the Presidency.
Some scholars hold that the
cO-efficient clause of the Con-
StitutiOn gives sufficient general
power for Congress to act. How
ever, under our system of pO-
ntical parties, it is certain that
If this supposed power were in
VOked, 1T would be Immediately
challenged, and it is extremely
doubtful if the Supreme Court
would assume to have jurisdic.
ton to pass on its cOnstitu-
tiOnality."
Another Mix-up
The Twentieth Amendment,
Clifford pointed out, empowers
Congress to legislate against the
contingency of death of both the
President-elect and Vice President
elect.
Another contingency on which
there should be legislation, he
said, is the death of the candi-
date of a party should no can
dldate get majority of the cleo
toral votes and the election be
thrown into the House of Repre-
sentatives.
Under the Constitution, he said
Congress could choose one of the
three highest candidates. But if
one of the three highest were.
Tor example. a Republican, and
he should die, the Republicans in
the House would have no party
candidate.

BUREAU OF CRIMINAL
IDENTIFICATION Isl
TEMPORARILY CLOSED.
New Law Makes Warden Head
of Bureau Without Funds
to Carry on Work
| WILL BE RE.ORGANlZED
Governor Appointed Senator
Charles Miller As Head OF
Bureau Last Week

Warden Claude Turner of the state
penitentiary has new job but he ISM
sure what he is going to do about It.
He has an assistant appointed by the
governor, but has no funds with which
to pay his salary.
The whole difficulty revolves about
the Bureau Of Criminal 1dentifica-
ton which to all intents and purposes
Is closed at present. Whether the
closing is temporary or permanent is
what is worrying the warden. He
hopes that the difficulties that now
confront him can be ironed out and
that the bureau can be reorganized
so that it will function, but he isn't
sure that they can be.
Under the old law the work was
carried on by Superintendent Gunder
K. Osjord, assisted by Fay Hunter,
both Of whom were automatically dis
charged when the new law took effect
July /. Warden Turner kept Hunter
until July IS, but discovered there
was no money with which to pay his
salary and at present the bureau is
temporarily in charge OF Herman
Sortonne, an employee without much
previous experience in the work.
While no specific appropriation has
been made for the work the warden
may employ clerical assistance, with
certain restrictions. The paragraph ir
the act authorizing the employment
OF assistants by the warden reads al
follows: He shall be allowed such ad.
ditional clerical help and expenses ir
his said office as shall be approved
by the governor, to be paid out of Thu
general funds of the state" The Law
further states that all moneys col.
lected or received, including rewards
for the apprehension or conviction Of
criminals, by the warden or his assist.
ants shall be paid into the genera
fund.
Warden Turner states that he doe.
not know whether the bureau will bt
closed permanently or not, but that Il
practically Is closed at present. HI
believes that the bureau can be re.
organized and that 1t will function
efficiently when the present Difficult.
ties are ironed out. Asked II 1t die
not require considerable technical ex.
perience to run the bureau, Mr.
Turner replied: I'll tell the world il
does"
1t IS understood that the North Da.
kota Bankers Association, the sheriff.
and police departments Throughout
the state protested against the clos.
ing Of the bureau and as a result
Governor LANCER last week appointed
State Senator Charles Miller of 10.
gan county, elected as an Iva, q.
assistant to the warden in charge o.
the bureau. Miller is at present con.
vaescing at his home following an op.
Grafton and it is not known when h,
will take over his new duties. Il
is understood that Miller was promis.
ed $4,000 year salary by the COVER.
nor, which is 5000 a year more thar
has ever before been paid for an as.
Sistant on the Job.
Incidentally no appointment has vel
been made for warden of the peniten.
tiary, although the term of Warden
Turner expired on July /. This ap-
pointment will be made by the state
board OF administration.
