. e NFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST Fertile Germ in Hot Weather Quickly Becomes Blood Ring, Spoiling Egg for Market. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Farmers lose millions of dollars an- nually from bad methods of produc- ing and handling eggs. One-third of this loss is preventable, because it is due to the partial hatching 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. You can save the money now lost from blood rings by keeping the male bird from your flock after the hatching season i over. The rooster does not help the hens to lay. He merely fertilizes the germ of the egg. The fertile germ 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 thée hen or incubator. After the hatching season cook, sell, or pen your rooster. Your hens not 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 great enemy of eggs, both fertile and infertile. Farm- ers are urged to follow these simple rules, which cost nothing but time and thought and will add dollars to the poultry yard returns: 1. Keep the nests clean; provide one nest for every four hens. 2. Gather the eggs twice daily. 8. Keep the eggs in a cool, dry room or cellar. 4, Market the eggs at least twice a week. 5. Sell, kill, or confine all. male birds as soon as the hatching season 18 over. POULTRY KEEPING PAYS WELL Community Breeding Association in Virginia’ Proves Most Profit- able Institution. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) A striking example of community breeding accomplishment is furnished by the Barred Plymouth Rock associa- tion, Farmville, Va. Organized for A Well-Selected Flock of Young Hens of Uniform Size, the Kind That Make Excellent Winter Layers. poultry improvement in 1915, this as- sociation has made such continuous and rapid growth that it has been in- corporated with a capital stock of $1,500, and a manager employed to handle its affairs. . Receipts during the first five months of operation amounted to $7,500, and recent reports show that members of the assoclation have on hand more than six thousand Barred Plymouth Rock hens and pullets. In the spring of 1916 they sold 1,000 capons on a northern market, Before the Farmville association was formed poultry keeping in that locality was merely incidental, an unimportant side line to other farming activities. Today poultry keeping is one of the important industries of that regian, and even the casual traveler is im- pressed with the large numbers of Barred Rocks and farms.

AN OLD RECIPE TO DARKEN HAIR Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Hair Dark and Glossy Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com- pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to, make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound.” You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, at very little cost. Ev- erybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn- ing the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.
