There Is not much danger that
healthy, vigorous fowls will become
too fat, if compelled to exercise by
scratching for the grain part of their
ration.
It is necessary to provide the hens
with some reason for exercising in
winter because they have no incen
tive to exercise naturally, as they do
In summer hunting for bugs and
worms, etc.

ment of Agriculture.)
An egg, whether impregnated or not,
has a small grayish spot on the sur
face of the yolk known as the germinal
•pot. As soon as a fertile egg is
placed under a hen or in an incubator
development begins. AU eggs should
be tested at least twice during the
period of incubation, preferably on the
seventh and fourteenth days, and the
infertile eggs and dead germs removed.
White eggs can be tested on the fourth
or fifth day, while the development in
eggs having brown shells often can not
be seen by the use of an ordinary egg
tester until the seventh day. Dead
germs soon decay and give off a bad
odor if allowed to remain under the
ben. Infertile eggs make good feed
ior young chickens and are often used
In the home for culinary purposes.
Most incubator companies furnish
testing chimneys with their machines,
which will fit ordinary lamps. Electric
or gas lamps may be used In a box
with a hole slightly smaller than an
egg cut in the side of the box and at
the same level as the light. They may
also be tested by sunlight or daylight,
using a shutter or curtain with a small
hole in it for the light to shine through.
A good homemade egg tester, or can-
dler, can be made with a large shoe
box, or any box that is large enough
to go over a lamp, by removing the
end and cutting a hole a little larger
than the size of a quarter In the bot
tom of the box, so that when it is set
over a kerosene lamp the hole in the
bottom will be opposite the blaze. A

to build them, from the

is the work, from
start to finish,
of one man, who
is rewarded, not
on the basis of
how many tires
he makes, but
how well he makes them.
A new wonder of chemistry
The toughness and resiliency
of Thermoid Tires is the result
of the discovery of CROLIDE.
CROLIDE is blended in scien
tifically exact degrees with each
layer of rubber or fabric that
goes into the tire. This makes
the tread stronger and the fabric
tougher.
Never have we
seen such durability
or mileage so far in
excess of our ex-
pectations. You can
depend upon 6000

hole the size of a silver dollar should
be cut in the top of the box to allow
the heat to escape.
The eggs are tested with the large
end up, so that the size of the air cell
may be seen as well as the condition
of the embryo. The testing should
take place in a dark room. The infer
tile egg, when held before the small
hole, with the lamp lighted Inside the
box, will look perfectly clear, the same
as a fresh one, while a fertile egg will
show a small dark spot, known as the
embryo, with a mass of little blood
veins extending in all directions. If the
embryo is living ; if dead, and the egg
has been incubated for at least 46
hours, the blood settles away from the
embryo toward the edges of the yolk,
forming in some cases an irregular
circle of blood, known as a blood ring.
Eggs vary In this respect, some show
ing only a streak of blood. All infer
tile eggs should be removed at the
first teet The eggs containing strong,
living embryos are dark and well filled
up on the fourteenth day, and show a
clear, sharp, distinct line of demarca
tion between the air ceil and the grow
ing embryo, while dead germs show
only partial development, and lack this
clear, distinct outline.
