Low Fares
Increase Railroad
Travel Greatly
Number of Local Passengers on Great
Northern Trains Greater by
so Per Cent.

Two-cent coach fares have increased
the number of local passengers on
Great Northern trains by more than
so per cent since they were put into
effect two months ago. according to
advice received by E. NJ Boyes, Great
Northern agent here.
The. so per cent gain is over the
corresponding travel during August
and September last year. Even this
does not reflect the full effect of the
lowered fares. for almost every month
of the current year showed a decline
in local travel as compared with "A
year ago, until the new basis for coach
and tourist sleeping car passengers Was
adopted.
The lowering Of the fare from 3.6
cent per mile which has been the uni
form basic rate since August, 1920, to
IL cents mile has put the cost OF
train travel at the lowest level in rail-
way history. Even the charge for meals
| in dining cars has been lowered to
reduce travel costs.
The beginnings of the new deal' in
passenger fares date back to about two
years ago, said Mr.. Boyes.
about that time the Great North

gan experimenting with drastic rate
reductions. 1t was necessary to de-

How Can Poultry Men
STAY In the Business ?

Now that commercial poultry
production is furnishing a source
of livelihood for many citizens. new
problems are arising in the enter
prise and many growers are won
dering how they can continue In
business.
"Some poultry men are inclined
to push their birds to the limit of
egg and flesh production. These
men are using the facts developed
by science 10 extract the final cent
of profit from their birds. and In
doing so there is a danger that
some of the vitality is being
sapped from poultry" says Roy S.
Dearstyne. head of the poultry de-
partment at North Carolina State
college. NOW. alert poultry men
are seeing their flOcks become more
susceptible to troubles not hereto
fore a menace to the industry. All
OF this means that poultry men
must give greater. care to their
feeding. breeding and other factors
which will help to build up the
stamina Of the individual fiocks."
In planning work for the new
poultry year. Mr.. Dearstyne be-
lieves IT imperative 10 pay more
attention TO breeding.

SEE HOW AN EMBRYO
GROWS WITHIN EGG
Students Watch All Stages
of Development.

Visitors TO the incubation school
at the New York State College of
Agriculture see how an embryo de-
velops in all of the stages Of hatch
ing. This is made possible by
new method developed by Prof.
Alexis l.. Romanoff of the Cornell
university experiment station.
Scientists attempted 20 study the
growth of embryos as early as 1850
when Begueln observed the ger
minal disk through hole In the
shell at the side or blunt end of
the egg. The opening was covered
with piece of she'll from another
egg. In 1887 Gerlach was able to
study the embryo up to the fifth
day and occasionally to the eighth
day. Byerly had about the same
success In 1926
At Cornell the development of
the embryo has been observed from
the fresh egg up TO the normal
Matching. The egg is first washed
in alcohol and a hole is made about
an inch I'm diameter at the blunt
end of the egg by removing the
shell and membranes. The opened
egg is set on an indented glass to
hold II upright and Is covered with
a sterilized beaker and placed in
the incubator.
The experimenters found the
greatest mortality from the second
10 the fourth day. when the heart
begins To function. Eggs opened
after one week OF incubation had
the least mortality and could be
watched throughout the Matching
process.

Use Large Bin to Mix
Homemade LAYING Mash

Use large bin in which to dump
the ingredients for the home made
laying mash. a small bin means
that some of the ingredients will
lodge in the corners and not re-
ceive a thorough mixing. Shovel
over the mixture until all the
streaks of material disappear. Hens
should not receive too much meat
scraps one day and too much bran
the next when they are expected to
keep up continuous production of
eggs.
Some feed companies sell a sup
plement which can be purchased to
mix with homegrown grain. This
mixture may contain meat scraps,
fish meal. dried buttermilk. bone
meal. etc. 1t contains everything
needed in poultry laying mash
which cannot he supplied from the
