Males Is Not ' r: Good Judgmgnt. fi Over-Us- e While a poultryman cannot always be sure that every egg selected from his . breeding, stock will;.hatch, he can achieve greater economy - in chick production by taking steps to reduce the number of infertile eggs produced by his breeding flock. There are several factors which result in infertility of hatching eggs; One is an inherently selective tendency on the part of 'certain male birds, Poultrymen should watch breeding males to make sure they ' as' are active and blue-nos- flag-wav- . non-selecti- breeders...-- . ve ... of males is another reason why some eggs 'are infertile. Sometimes too many hens ere allowed per male or else the breeding males are not given a rest period during spring. One way to avoid this is to remove the breeding males for two days .after they have.Jpeen hens for, three or running with,-thfour days. Another way is to have alternate lots oi breeding, males, Rising one lot fori a week and resting the other during that week, but this method cannot be used where pedigree breeding is being done. ,When the weather is cold male birds stand around inactive and use-- , less. This can be avoided by , removing choice males from: the breeding pensln the. late afternoon, keeping them in protected quarters, andf returning them fpr the flight to the pens ' the following day. ; When these suggestions and other schemes which may occur to 'the experienced . poultry breeder pre properly worked into thJ 'management of the breeding flock, a considerable increase in the percentage of egg fertility can be brought about. -Fertility' is probably affected only in a small part by inherited characteristics. One of the most important steps is keeping the breeding males healthy, strong, vigorous, well fed and not over-yse- d during4 the spring season. Allow oniy one. male for every 10 hens at the most. This often involves having mdre males than one may, have planned for, but an extra finale bird or so may more than make up for. the cost by the increased fertility obtained. ; , Over-us- e e . b.?

It .was one of his duties as a, cadet to report the misdemeanors of .other, cadets; this he had done so expertly and consistent- -' ly that he was easily the most unpopular, cadet in the academy. He was a crusader from the start. In his days he attempted- to convince the country, through scientific journals, that there was inevitably to be a World war, but he failed to arouse America ' enough to begin arming for it. The outbreak of the war found him a naval constructor with the rank of Lieutenant, aboard Rear. Admiral Thomas. Sampsons flagship,! " the New York. Hobson Volunteers. . Sampson had ordered Admiral Schley,, who was off Santiago de Cuba, to sink a collier in the narrow channel at the harboi1 entrance and thus bottle up the Spanish fleet inside. Schley, not believing in the wisdonj.of the act, ignored the order.' Sampson stM favored the idea z and, cif their wqy to Santiago, he and Hobson discussed plans for sink ing the collier Merrimac on a night would 'in early June' when there be sufficient moonlight for the navi-- ; gator to place the ship in position,, yet there would be an hour or so' of darkness between moonset and daybreak. Torpedoes abreast the bulkheads and cargo hatches were to be fired by an electric primer to sink the craft. . J. - The entire American fleet received . the call for volunteers to accom--. Hobson. This was no. childs pany play. With the exception of Admiral Sampson, there was hardly a soul aboard the New York who believed the emergency crew would return alive. Yet hundreds offered to go. Seven were taken: George Char ette, Daniel Montague, Francis Kel--' ly, Randolph Clausen, Osborn W, Deignan,' J.' E. Murphy and George F.Phillips.

But it was not sinking fast enough to go down., before it had drifted past the narrow channel where .it would have trapped the Spanish . . In ; another few minutes the Spanish cruiser Retoa Mercedes and the destroyer Pluton let fly with two torpedoes at such close range that even Spaniards couldnt miss, and down went the Merrimac to a heros watery grave. The eight men, two of them wounded, went down, too and came right back up again. Rescued by Spanish Admiral. ; Their lifeboat had been shattered, so they swam to the catamaran, hanging on with only their heads above water so they were less likely to be spotted. But .they were, after an hour and a half to the cold water,, found by a s launch containing no less a person than Admiral. Ceryera of the Spanish fleet. . They were treated gently. Ceryera himself helped Hobson aboard. The latter, and his men were given hot coffee, and dry clothes. Hobson was even then melodramatic in Oh, God,, he exclaimed. speech. .
