"AN IMPORTANT
ADVANTAGE

“One - big ‘advantage that mews-
paper, “advertising. lias ovér radio,
billboards, movie screens and oth-
_er.similar media, is that a news-
paper advertisement is always
realy to be read at the conveni-
ence -of the veader, and it may he
referred to as often as desired. In
the other forms one must be on a
certain spot, or present at @ cer-
tain time, If he doesn’t get the
message then, he never gets it. If
he fails to grasp ali of the mean-
ing he cannot check back to re-
fresh his memory, or add to his

Egg} Fertility! |

Securing a high percentage of fertile
eggs, and eges that will produce strong
healthy chicks is the subiect » which
should be uppermost in the minds of
alt who propose to hatch chicks ;
A fertile eg¢ is the product of the
union of two germ cells, one from the
mrle, the other from the female. It
follows that any practicle procedure.
which can be instituted to facilitate
the production and union. of these
eels will result in greater efficiency
in breeding ‘practice.

Qne of the most interesting of re-
cent discoveries, which promises to
lead to results of the greatest practt-
cal importance, is the fact that the pro
cesses of reproduction are controlled
to.a very large extent by the pituitary
gland. ‘This gland, in the hen, only
slightly larger. than a grain of wheat,
is loented at the hase of the brain.
Its secretions directly Stimulate the
prodnetion of germ cells in both male
and female. It is now bellteved that
variations in the laying rate of a -hen
are due to varlations in the amount
and type of secretions produced by
this. gland. Likewlse, varintions in
the preduetion of germ cells in. the
‘male, or in other words, varatious in
the ability of a male to fertilize eggs
ive due to differences in the functiou-
al level of this gland. . Substances
can now be prepared chemically. which
when injected {nto a niale will greatly
increase -his fertglizing abllity.. At the
moment. these : -suibstances are far too
expensive -for practi 1 use.

fact thet the pitnitary. gland “is stimul- |
ated by either‘ natural or -artiticlal
light. ‘This explains why hens day
more exes in spring wheit the: length
of day’ juerenses ‘ard why more eggs
may he abtained from hens under. ar-
tificial lights. In connection with pro
dacing fertile eges, it rpuears that the
stimulation of . breeding .males by the]
use of artificial light’ may increase
cousidernbly, not only the per cent of ;
fertile. exes, but the ability of these
eggs to hatch,

Tn connection with the newer. “enow-
