I had trouble this winter with blowouts.
Would that be the cause?
When done carefully, sexing does not
appear to injure chicks. The condition
Of blowouts has not seemed to be ap-
probably worse since sexing has been
rather widely practiced than it was
before. In study being carried on
here at the University Farm with sew

seem to be any difference between the

If can of fruit or vegetables is
opened, should the contents be emptied
into bowl Immediately?
There is no danger from leaving
either fruit or vegetables in the opened
can However, it is very necessary to
keep the food in the refrigerator until
ready for use. The danger from food
left IN the can is from spoilage and not
from the can. Some products carry a
label instructing that the food be
removed Immediately because of the
possible change in flavor Under or
binary circumstances, it IS quite safe
TO use the open can as a container-
