This is nearly 40 eggs better than for the pre vious week and 200 eggs more than tho fiv year, average.

For those, however, who intend to hatch chicks during the coming season me time has arrived when the birds shoujd be mated. Tt is true that one can sometimes get fer tile egsrs within four or five days after the introduction of the male, but gen erally it is not. aat"n to wait unti tho last minute. It is potter to mate the birds several weeks ahead Pf the tim that the epa-s are to be used for hatch inr. In, thin connection it may be noten that fggs C4P ordinarily be used for incubation for a week or so after The removal of the male from in flpck. On the other hand.. some-fertility will persist for a much longer tiino. In other words, if one wishes te eh$r males in mid-season he must allow at least three weeks to elapse befpre be ing perfectly sure that the oew mal la sire of the chicks.
