F. L. Englebcrt, Des Moines, la., 

 writes that he has-founcl Caiistut Potash 

 very effective in removing enibryoes, 

 and says: 



"Dissolve in water to form a solution,, 

 and insert into the egg by means of a. 

 blowpipe or syringe, the process l)eing 

 repeated, after washing out each egg 

 before each insertion, until the embryo- 

 is all eaten and removed, and being ani- 

 mal matter, is easily acted upon and 

 dissolved by the pc^tash. Great care- 

 must be taken, however, not to allow 

 any of the solution to get upon the 

 hands or into the mouth, as it has- 

 about the same ett'ect as lye, but is not 

 so dangerous to handle. I have seen it 

 successfully used for several seasons, 

 past, and used it with success myself 

 last season."
