GOOD HATCHABILITY OF EGGS
By Prof. III. ID. Munroe

Most poultry flock owners are con-
cerned about good hatchability of
eggs. The poultryman who produces
his own chicks should be no more in
terested than the farmer who is pro-
ducing eggs for hatchery.
The breeding flock should have a
rest from egg production prior to
the Matching season. While the flock
is molting, it has time to store up
materials that have been used up
during the long period of production.
The breeding flock should never be
forced for egg production during the
breeding season although normal high
rate of production, so per cent, does
not seem to affect fertility or hatch
ability.
The breeding flock should have ac-
cess to the direct rays Of the sun or
be fed cod liver oil OF sardine oil.
Recent experimental work showed
that hatchability was increased 80 per
cent by the use of cod liver oil and
sardine oil for confined hens.
The breeding flock should have
plenty of green, succulent food.
Green feeds develop yellow color.
Breeders with an abundance of yell
low pigment produce hatchable eggs.

extraction in the United States. There
were still some, of course, who de-
manded complete separation from Great
Britain, an independent republic, but
with the granting Of dominion status
the question became Irish, not British,
and the average American lost inter
est-even began to feel that the Irish
were professional agitators, that they
would never be satisfied.
There were few trade disputes with
Great Britain except that the principle
OF imperial preference, always lurking
in the background but never really ac-
lively pressing for solution. obviously
held the seeds of serious disagreement
There was always the feeling that Great
Britain wanted the empire to be con-
sidered as a whole when this was useful
to British policy; as a group of inde-
pendent units when this seemed more
advantageous One argument against
joining the League Of Nations had been
the threat of a British bloc. since the
dominionS each had a vote. Always,
as for example, in the Radio Confer
ence of 1928, it is insisted that the do
minionS have separate votes. They did,
but the result was not the dreaded Brit
ish bloc. The dominions voted as they
pleased.
There have been times since the war
when American opinion was deeply
stirred against the British, notably in
connection with disarmament, and eSpe-
cially in Geneva during the Coolidge
administration. when Great Britain was
adamant in demanding enormous num-
bers Of cruisers, and agreement became

impossible But the memory of this
was wiped out when Hoover and Mac
Donald sat on log at the Rapidan
camp and agreed on absolute naval
parity. This agreement was as great a
disappointment to the Anglophobes of
America as it was to the big-navy party
in Great Britain, but there can be no
shadow of doubt that 1t created in
stantly feeling of confidence which
still persists.
Frances Status Differs
On the whole, therefore, it is fair to
say that on March 4, 1888, our rela-
tionS with Great Britain were as cordial,
or more cordial, than they had been
before the war. Great Britain had paid
the December debt installment and had
paid gold in spite of being forced off
the gold standard itself. Whether this
happy relationship can continue is now
partly, at least, dependent on America.
We do not owe the British government,
but We owe many British citizens. and
the British government has a habit of
fighting for what it considers to be the
rights of its citizens. The cordiality of
our future relations depends greatly.

Conference.
With France the situation is radically

technical and psychological, although
only the psychological causes affect the
general public. So far as the American
Government is concerned, the period

south of the Great Wall, historically
climaxes a period of so years in the
decline of the Chinese Empire.
Since 1883 China has lost her con-
troll over 100000 square miles of ter
ritory in Eastern Asia, a disintegratlon
more swift and fatal than that which
overlook the Roman, Greek, Byzantine
and Egyptian empires of Europe.
Seventeen years before the turn OF
this century China suffered her first
serious incision at the hands OF the
French.
In 1883, without the formality Of a
declaration Of war, French troops COM
menced hostilities which shortly terml-
mated in French annexation of the foi =
mer Kingdom of AMMAN, a Chinese
dependency.
Next came the loss of Burma. British
troops in 1852 had conquered lower
Burma. In 1886 they conquered upper
Burma also, but by a curious face-sav-
ing arrangement certain Burmese reve-
nues continued to be remitted to
Peking till 1895, when the British
ceased the practice. The loss Of Burma
took a chunk of 236,238 square miles
out of the Celestial Empire.
In 1890 the British completed thelr
expulsion of Chinese rulers from the
Tibeto- Chinese-Indian principalities OF
Nepal, Bhutan and Sikkin. They had
been part of the empire since their
conquest, in the thirteenth century, oy
Kubilai Khan. The British forced
China to recognize their annexation
of these rich kingdoms, thereby further
reducing the empires southern ex-
tremity by 74,000 square miles.
There followed the war of 1898. As
a result of this, China lost her ancient
ascendancy over Korea-85, ,223 square
miles of Asia subsequently annexed by
Japan. She also lost Formosa's 1894
square miles and the valuable little
Pescadore Islands, in size only so square
miles, but of vital strategic importance
In the Pacific.
