QUI8EKBERRT) Some farmers and poultry raisers make a practice of putting eggs on the market which they bave had in an in cubator for a few days and found the eg*« to be infertile. This Is s bad practice and should never be done by sny honest farmer or poultry raiser. Tou may make good Use of such eggs by consuming them at home. They win do to fry, for baking and for cer tain kinds of cooking, but they are ab solutely unfit for the market. Such egg», while good for home consumption are absolutely unfit lV>r shipping. The yolks will break, the eggs will rot be fore they can reach the consumer, and it Is a dishonest practice to offer such eggs for sale as freah-lald eggs, and you lower the price on all eggs by to doing. Consume such eggs at home. We have seen severe market losses due to a habit of sending infertile In cubator eggs loto commerce. This has been especially noticeable In the large bouses making a specialty of break ing out eggs where they found It ab solutely necessary to candle even In March and early April because farm ers and poultry raisers were marketing Infertile eggs fresh eggs, and the incubator eggs came ln In such ,bad condition and were so numerous that they had to be culled out before It waa safe for the breakers to handle the eggs. At that time of the year there is no other rea son for candling. You can see whgt a loss this means to any denier, and In stead of reducing the army of candlers which are now required this practice makes a demand for even a greater number. Another very serious evil due to the marketing of Infertile eggs from an Incubator or from underneath a hen Is their admixture with storage stock. These Incubator eggs usually go on the market at the season when eggs are being stored without being candled. We know it to lie a fact that Infertile Incubator eggs break down during transportation and handling and easily become "white rots." Infertile Incubator eggs can be used for bakers' purposes In the home, but under no circumstances should they ever be offered for sale or for ship ment. Another Important reason why such eggs should not he marketed as freab eggs Is the fact that they are liable to be seized by food Inspectors as being {pUbraoded. Such eggs play navoc with the storage stock, and we are lo hope« that no farmer or poultry ralssr will be guilty of auch a dishonest prac tice ; 4..••• Trap Accurate Test of Hen's Ability The trap nest Is the most accurate test of a hen's ability to lay eggs, hut It Is not practicable for those who live on farms, with all the other work they must do. Therefore, poultry s|>eclallsta I have been studying the general char acteristics of laying hens, so that we might have a set of almost exact rules for telling the layers from the loafers. It has been proven over and over that these rules work correctly and no farm woman need longer feed liena that will not pay for their feed bill and give a profit. We roust also remember that these laxy hens, which have been loaf ing all summer, fall and winter, will tie laying their few eggs next spring at batching time, and If their eggs are seL we will have another flock of I loafers. The hens that begin to molt In July should be sent to market. There is one exception to this, the ben that has hatched and brooded a flock of chicks, for she will usually go through a par tial molt before abe begins laying again. August 16 and September 15 Is the best time to cull, but It will pay to go pver your flock from time to time through the summer and cull out. Hell thosç that have stopped faying. There are usually a number of hens in every flock whose general appearance Indicates they have low vitality, little vigor and will never be profitable egg producers. A great percentage of these low vitality birds are late hatched pul lets of the previous season. ♦ »♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Poultry Hints Carrots, cabbage and sprouted oata help make strong chicks. « Good hatches are obtained only when the laying stuck has been selected for vigor and made to exercise.^ * Fresh eggs are the best tor hatching purposes. If It is regarded necessary to keep hatching eggs they should be stored in a temperature of 80 degrees or lower. a a a Coll all undeveloped pullets and old hens from the flock. a a Early hatched pullet* will molt early in Che f&n ahd be ready for laying next winter at a season when eg* produc tion to low and prices high. « a a It bea been shown that young chicks are moat enaceptiMc to Infestation of roundworms until shoot 12 weeks of WMh ævere infestation desfh y occur in two weeks.
