NOT A SECRET
I
Produce Infertile Eggs!
Infertile Eggs Ktep Bct and Market Best in Summtr Htt -
5rtile Eggs Spoil Quickly in Summer Weather
FERTILE EGGS COST THE FARMER
AN ENORMOUS SUM EACH YEAR
Farmers lose millions of dollars annually from bad method of producing!! and
handling eggs. One-third of this less is preventable, because it ii due to the partial
hatching of fertile eggs which have been allowed, to become" warm enouf h to bf in to
incubate. '
The rooster makes the egg fertile
The fertile egg makes the blood ring
You can save the money now lost from blood rings by keeping the male, bird from
your flock after the hatching season is over.
The rooster doe3 not help the hens to lay. He merely fertilizes the germ of the
ei?ir. The fertile izerm in hot weather quickly becomes a blood ring, which spoils the
egg for food and market. Summer heat has the same effect on fertile eggs as the;
hen or incubator. . , ,
i ,
INFERTILE EGGS WILL NOT BECOME BLOOD RINGS
After the hatching season cook, sell or pen your rooster. Your hens hot running
with a male bird will produce infertile eggs quality eggs .that keep best and ,market
best. . - -;. ' -
Rules for Handling Eggs on the Farm-
Heat is the ereat enemy of eggs, both fertile and infertile. Farmers are urged fco
follow these simple rules, which cost nothing but time and thought and will add dol-.
lars to the poultry yard returns: , . " ,
1. Keep'the nests clean;tprovide one nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily ""-.'.."
3. Keep the eggs in a cool, dry room or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least twice a-week; "Z

5. Sell, kill, or confine all male birds as soon as the hatching season is over.

"A FEW THINGS
ABOUT SILOS"

v '-"v.'"i
A silo is a sure sign of thrift.
Only the best farmers build them.
They save 40 per cent, of a corn cropi
Corn is now worth $9.00 per-barrel. ?
The stalks that produce a barrel of corn to
day are worth $3.60 if put into a silo.
When you allow these stalks to dry up on the
hill for fodder you lose about $3.00 tor ev
ery barrel of corn you produce.
You can't afford this awful wasted
If you raise a $3.00 barrel corn crop you throw"
away $900.00 by not converting it the stalk
insilage. . 1 - ;
It behooves every man in every business to
save everything in times like these. The op;
posite course is not only foolish but wicked,'
for the world's food' and feed supply is wholly
inadequate.
We offer first class silos with plain lugs as follows:
iu tu uiaiucicr, u. lugu , , .....pi.w.w .

We offer 5 per cent, off for cash.
THIS OFFER GOOD AS LONG AS THEY LAST.
