Inquiries of poultrynten regarding
amount of eggs their fowls were pro
ducing, when eggs were selling for
to to CO cents per doton. I found re
ports varied. Some were getting a
k,ood yield; some fair, and othere
scarcely any. The ones getting a
goccl yield were the ones who hal
their birds in extra warm houses and
took great pains in caring for their
stock. They cocked much cf their
teed nnd fed them warm mashes
twice daily, adding "dope" to force
egg production. The ones getting a
small yield I found had their birds
in less comfortable quarters, but took
much pains with their teed, by mixing
mashes and dopes. The ones get
ting very few eggs generally had
large flocks In comfortable quarters,
but hadn't the time to fuss with their
stock and cock them a meal twice a
day. and mix up a hot mash doped
with powders to force egg production.
Almost any breed of fowls will lay

FERTILITY OF EGGS
IMPORTANT MATTER
Success in Poultry Work
Can Only be Attained
Through Good Eggs.
WE L LL
LEGAL HANKS
Officials of the department of agri
culture have been collecting data re
garding the factors which affect the
fertility of eggH, tde que3tlon having
been carefully studied at a number of
experiment stations in the United
States and elsewhere.
Too warm quarters for laying stock
and overfeeding are commonly be
lieved to exerciRe an unfavorable in
fluence on egg fertility as well as
does a cold season. The way eggs
are handled or stored Is- also be
lieved to nffect the proportion whlcp
will'hatch, as will also the condition
under which incubation occur*.
The vigor and character of the pa
rent slock and the length of time th;
male bird has been with the flock
ure also Important questions with re
spect to egg fertility. At the out
set it should be poluted out that fert
ility and hatch-ability are not ue
cessarily Identical.
An egg may bo fertile and still thu
germ does not have sufficient vital
ity to produce a healthy chick un
der tho ordinary conditions of Inc’j
batlon. In a aerie; cf incubator ex
periments at the Rhode Island sta
tion, of 8,077 egga tested, 8.1 per cent
wero found to be fertile, while only
46 per cent of the futile eggs, or
28.6 per cent, of the total number
of cage, hatched under the conditions
of tho tests.
Tho various observations made
while not entirely conclusive, indi
cate that in order to secure fertile
(gga, which will hatch, the laying
stock must not be kept in very want
quarters or overfed; the males must

Only the fowls from very vigorous
