This is the secret of successful egg• producing: hens have to be kept healthy. One Way of ridding hens' front lice is to paint their roosts with' nicotine preparation. This prepara- tion when heated by the warmth of the hen's body liberates the nicotine' which suffices the hen's body and, kills vermin. The hatching of eggs by incubators has become a very big .business. It' :s 'important to know the sex of a chick at birth. The Jane were the first to discover a way by which sex can be determined, and so Jape had to be employed at the beginning. of this discovery. Now, however, the way to determine sex has been be- come universally known, So, when one orders' day-old chicks, one can be sure,,of getting all females. Chicks. can live for three days after being hatched on the scibstance contained in their bodies derived from the shell's contents, which tact enables them to be shipped to remote points without danger of loss from starva- tion. I was informed that the consump- tion of eggs in Canada has declined in recent years to the extent of 1,000,000 eggs a day. Whether hens rejoice over this lessening of their compulsory labour I have no ,means of knowledge, but thein human em- ployers gleve, and they sent dele- gates to Ottawa in June to ask the Federal Government to. launch an Eat -More -Eggs campaign. This dele- gation had grounds for believing that advertising will , get Canada back again on the old egg -eating level. Thus, the Eat -Mora -Fish campaign is said to have increased the consumpr tion of fish in Canada by 15%. Of course, the egg producers do not greatly care what people.dowith the eggs which they buy. Eating them, in some form or other, is bound to continue to be the main use of eggs; yet if more eggs can be exported, or if more eggs can be used as missiles at political gatherings and at enter- tainments where performers are low rade it grade, would be all right with egg producers and egg marketers One supposes that there are new uses for eggs yet to be discovered. • What interests me about this bus- iness of producing: and marketing eggs le: their consumption can be in- creased by advertising.
