DAMAGE BEGINS IN JUNE
CONTINUES THROUGH
SUMMER.
SELL, UNSEX OR PEN ROOSTERS
Infertile Eggs Bring Premium ol
From Five to Ten Cents a
Dozen—Gather Eggs
Dally.
Oklahoma farmers lose something
like $1,000,000 annually through fall-1
are to corral the roosters during hot'
summer months.
By tar the biggest element of egg
losses'is the fertile egg. Harry Km-
bleton, poultry specialist for the ex-
tension division of Oklahoma A. & M.j
College, lias made a careful study of j
figures compiled at produce houses
over the state and finds that even as
j early as June there is a loss of some-j
| thing like 20 per cent from fertile
j eggs. During August the losses on
i some markets run as high as 60 per
j eent. While, theoretically, the pro- j
! duce merchant stands a large part of
i the loss, it is probably true that every |
| basket of eggs marketed in Oklahoma I
during the summer months suffers a
severe penalty because of carelessness
! of the great body of egg producers. j
\ According to Mr. Kmbletoit. a fertile
egg begins to incubate in a tempera-
ture of 70 degrees. When these eggs
are put under the candler they show
blood rings, blood clots and even more
advanced stages of incubation.
Even if the "gg passes the candler it
may not hold up under the long jour-
ney to the consumer's table. Almost
any housewife in the cities can testify
to finding from four to seven bad eggs
out of the dozen "fresh eggs" that she
bought from the grocery. Consider the 1
chagrin of the restaurant diner who \
opens a soft boiled egg lo find that na-
ture hie about run her gamut with that
particular egg. is it any wonder that
thousands of persons cease eating
t'ggs from June lo September? Eggs,
doubtless, would be a popular summer
food if the ultimate consumer could
only feel sure as to their ancestry,
'v'e'tili ecus regr.hirlv brlna a or«-
| luiuni of from 5 to 10 cents a dozen
1 over eggs that have known the
1 rooster.
When the hatching season is over,
the rooster's duty has been fulfilled.He
should be fattened and sold, caponized
or penned up. The capon industry isi
j making great headway in Oklahoma,
and there seems no prospect that it
will be overdone. Meat from capons
continues to draw a handsome pre-
: inlum, and the operation adds three
pounds or more to the natural weight1
' i.if the male bird, even on the same
feed. If it is desired that the rooster
be retained for another breeding sea-
son, he can be penned up and not per-
mitted access to the hens.
Another element of egg losses
i conies from weak-shelled eggs. These
i shells give way while the eggs are
being handled, and a few broken eggs
, nan smear up an entire oase. Feeding
1 the hens oyster shell will help remedy
this difficulty.
| Here are some hot weather rules,
I recommended by Mr. Embleton:
' First—Produce infertile eggs by,
either selling off the male birds after,
hatching season, or, if the male is es-
pecially good, pen him up by himself.
Second Keep nests filled with
clean straw and have straw in the
poultry house so that in muddy]
Weather the chickens will have a
chance to walk through the straw be-j
fore going lo the nests. This will doj
away with dirty eggs. Dirty eggs are
always reckoned as seconds on the|
market, irrespective of the interior!
quality, and are paid for as such.
Third—Gather eggs twice a day, es-
pecially during hot weather.
Fourth—Keep the eggs in a cool
place, such as a storm cellar. Do not)
keep them in a hot kitchen or pantry.j
Fifth—Market the eggs at least'
twice a week. Old eggs can be de-
teeted by the buyer through candling.1
Sixth-—Protect the eggs from the di-
rect rays of the sun while taking them
to town.
Seventh—Keep all small eggs at,
Some. They are just as good for home
use, but do not bring as much when.
