This is because fertilized eggs when sub- jected to market conditions are easily spoiled for table purposes. An infertile egez very seldom spoils, and it will retain its eating qualities almost indefinitely, and no ordinary handling or treat- ment will seriously affect them. To show how true. this is, take the case of an infertile egz that is kept in an incubator at hatch- ing temperature for a week or ten days.. When such an egg is broken neither eyes nor nostrils will detect anything unpleasant, and, if the egg is cooked, those at the table will find no difference in taste from that of a fresh egg. And there are no market condi- tions that would ever put such a strain on eggs as the above. On the other hand, a fertilized ego, if subjected for a few hours to a temperature of 85 or higher, will have the process of ineuba- tion started, and, if this is check- ed by subsequent cooling, the egy will begin to decay and be unfit for use. There are many ways in which the temperature may be raised to the incubation point. Ona hot day in summer several hens may occupy the same nest in rapid succession; the eges may be exposed to. the direct rays of the sun while being taken from farm to the store, or while on truek or platform at the sta- tion, and sometimes while being held for shipment. Even in winter, if the crate is pushed next to hot steam pipes in express office or car, the same result will follow, and the eggs be spoiled. Now all this can he avoided by keeping male birds away frem hens when the eggs are to be used only for market purposes, thus making sure that the eggs are infertile. It has been con- clusively shown that hens lay as well, are less subject to broodi- ness, keep their plumage in much better condition, and are perfect- ly contented when no male is al- lowed to run with them. Many of the largest consumers of fresh eggs. who contract for thousands to be delivered daily, insist upon a guarantee that each egg shall be absolutely infertile. The ordinary farm hatching is done during April and May, and to ensure the fertility of eggs that are to be used for hatching, enough males should be allowed to run with the hens for three months beginning with March, By the first of June all the old males, except those that are con- sidered good enough to be kept over for another breeding sea- son, should be shut up for two or three weeks and fattened for the market. Ifa few are to be kept over, they should be put in a house or run by themselves, and kept there until the next spring. But under the circum- stances it would be better and cheaper in most instances to sell off the entire lot, and thus save the feed and extra care for nine months. By the time for breed- ing again some of the early cock- PARTMENT rect; record of their parentage has been kept. If there is no such record, then it will be nec- essary to secure what males are needed, by buying or exchang- ing. If this is to be done,. then the young cockerels, each year, should he fattened and sold just as soon as you are sure of the sex, which usually can be deter- mined within three months. It will nut pay to keep the young eockerels beyond this stage, as the added pounds of weight will not overbalance the additional feed and the lowered price which will come in the early fall when all surplus stock is being thrown upon the market. In view of the above, which is a very moderate statement of the case, it would seem to be the best plan for all poultrymen, and es- pecially for farmers, to keep no more male birds than are neces- sary, and only allow them with the hens during the time the eggs are to be used for hatching purposes. Having Fresh Eggs Poultry as a side line is very pleasant and profitable. The man who has a few hours each day to put into a hobby can find no more congenial task than keeping a few good chickens. There is not only the pleasure derived, but the good fresh eggs that are used in the house count for much. The good housewifes don’t have to worry about getting. fresh eggs when she knows that each day some will come from her own hens. No fear about breaking an egg directly on the hot grid- dle. No danger of spoiling the mixture for a cake if you break the egg directly in upon it. It is decidedly agreeable to have eggs that you can count on. Try out a few hens in a small house and see if there is not a lot of profit and pleasure in it, Neatness That’s what counts and what is characteristic of Herald Printing LAND NOTICES Hazelton Land District—District of Gassiar.
