INFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST
Fertile Germ In Hot Weather Quickly
••come* Blood Ring, Spoiling
Egg for Market.
(Prepared by the United Btatee Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Farmers lone million* of dollars an
nually from bad methods of produc
ing and bundling eggs. One-third of
this 1081 Is preventable, because It
Is due to tlio partial hutching of fer
tile eggs which have been allowed to ;
become warm enough to begin to In
cubate.
The rooster makes the egg fertile.
The fertile egg makes the blood ring.
Ton can cave the money now lost from
Mood rings by keeping the male bird
from your flock after the hutching
season is over.
The rooster does not help the hens
to tay. Ue merely fertilizes the germ
at the egg. The fertile germ In hot
weather quickly becomes u blood ring,
Which spoils the egg for food and
markeL Hummer heat has the snipe
effect on fertile eggs- ns the ben or ;
Incubator.
After the batching season cook, sell,
or pen your rooster. Your hcus not
running with a mule bird will produce
infertile eggs—quality eggs that keep
best and market best.
Rules for handling eggs on tho
term; Heat Is tho greot enemy of
•fgs, both fertllo und Infertile. Fnrm
era are urged to follow these simple
rules, which cost nothing but time and
thought snd will udd dollars to the
poultry yard returns:
1. Keep the nests clean; provide
one nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice dally, j
8. Keep the eggs In a cool, dry
room or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least twice

Tho vegetables should then be covered
with straw or slmllur muterlul and
finally with earth to a depth of two
or three Inches. As whiter approaches,
the dirt covering should bo Increased
until It Is several Inches thick. The
depth of the earth covering Is deter
mined by the severity of tho winters
In the particular locality. It Is well
to cover the pits with straw, corn fod

weather.
The amount of ventilation necessary
will depend upon the size of the pit
Small pits containing but u few bush

ventilation If the straw lietween the

larger pits ventllullou may bo secured
by placing two or three pieces ol
board nailed together at right angles.

Egg production doubtless la the

and, in addition, 1* a very important
agricultural activity. According to the
last census the egg* produced in the
United Btnte* in 1000 numbered more
tho4 1,501,000,000 dozens, with a
value of more than $306,000,000. Egg*,
of course, are produced wherever
chicken* are kept, and by far the
greater part of the egg crop come*
from the general farm, yet large no
called egg farm* have been developed
with the main purpose of producing
egg* for market. The largest of these
egg farms and the greater number of
them nre located near markets which
pay n premluiA for white egg*; and
for thl* reaHon, together with the fact
that egg* nre primarily de*lred, the
breeds kept are those known a* the
Splendid Flock of White Leghorn*.
egg breeds, such ns the Leghorn,
Cumplne, Minorca and Ancona. The
Single Comb White Leghorn Is un
doubtedly the most popular nnd the
most widely kept variety of the egg
breeds. These breeds comprise
the Mediterranean and Continental
classes, uh given In the American
Hlandnrd of I'erfectlon. The egg
breeds frequently are found on gen

sections near markets preferring a

Many turkeys nro raised In Texan,
as well us a considerable number In
Mississippi and Alabama and In west
ern Florida. As a general proposition
these birds are raised In small flocks
on general forms, where plenty of
rnnge Is available. Under such condi
tions they usually yield a profitable
Income. Not mony ducks are raised
In the South, but considerable Interest
Is displayed In geese production, while
guineas also are raised on many farms.
Guinea eggs are used on the bome
table, as well as being marketed, but
as a rule tfitf guineas are allowed to
run wild and are not produced on any
scale for market purposes.

STATE AND COUNTY COUNCIL.
Meeting Sept. 15-20; Gov. Bickett to
Preside- Prominent Speakers.
Cor. of The Gleaner.
Chapel Hill, N. C., Sept. I.
The full program for the first
meeting of the State and County
Council to be held at the State
University during the week Sep
tember 15-20, inclusive, has been
practically completed. It will be
in the mail the first of this week.
I)r. 11. TV. Chase, President of the
University, will deliver the ad
dress of welcome, following which
Gov. T. W. Bickett will address
the assembly. The Governor will
preside over the meeting through
out the week.
The County Commissioners' pro
gram which is in charge of Hon.
\V. C. Jones, President of the
State Association of County Com
missioners, is attracting much at
tention just now. "Unified Coun
ty Government under Responsible
Headship" will bo the leading
topic for this part of I life program.
Tii lks on "County Government as
it Might Be", "The Fee and Salary
System", "Uniform County Ac
count Keeping and Reporting',
and "Slate-wide Auditing of
County Accounts" will also be
made by able speakers.
Many prominent out-of-State
speakers have been secured toad
dress the Council, including Judge
Charles N. Fqildeeon of Savanah,
Ga, Amos W. Butler, Secretary
Indiana Stale Board of Charities
and Corrections, Dr. Chas.' J.
Bullock, Department of Econom
ies, Harvard University, Dr. Allen
W. Freeman, Commissioner of
Henlih of Ohio, li. K. Atkinson,
Chairman Recreation Association,
Sag Harbor, N. Y.
The State and County Council,
whic'.i represents a new movement
in North Carolina, is being held
"under the auspices of the Gov
ernor, the State University, the
State Association of County Com
missioners, and the State Depart
ments charged with carrying
into effect our new Public Wel-
I fare Laws."
With September 30th and Octo
ber Ist set as the days for regis
tration for the fall opening pros
pects are for the largest attend
ance in the University's history.
A treshman class of at least 400
is expected; while estimates for
the total student body range be
tween 1200 and 1500. Practically
all of last year's students will re
turn, together with many service
men who wish to complete their
college course.
Several members of the Uni
versity faculty have made notable
contributions to National publi
cations recently, including an
article by Prof. J. M. Booker in
the July number of the Sewanee
■ Heview entitled "Bugaboo", in
i which ho points out—in reply to
I the many circulated statements to
the contrary—that instead of uot
a single trace of tho Fourteen
Points being left in the Versailles
treaty, "Only a single one of the
Fourteen Points has not left a
trace"; and one by Prof. Thorn
dike Saville in the Engineering
News-Record.
Even the world war ended
sooner than many persons expect
ed it would; the race riots are
over; many of tho temperamental
strikers are roturuing to work
and food prices are coming down.
Maybe the world is on the way
back to sanity.
