Blood spots in eggs are caused by 
hemorrhages into the oviduct from some 
of the small blood vessels supplying that 
organ. These hemorrhages cause small 
blood clots, which are included within 
the shell as the egg is formed. These 
hemorrhages are supposed to he caused 
by over-feeding on stimulating food, 
over-fatness, or a weakness in the blood 
vessel walls. They will appear oc¬ 
casionally under any care, hut if they be¬ 
come numerous it will be well to reduce 
the amount of meat or other stimulating 
food and give more green stuff. The fowls 
should be made to exercise as much as 
possible and not be allowed to become 
over fat. m. b. d. 
Feeding Poultry Offal. 
Some time ago I noticed the advice to 
feed the waste from dressing fowls to the 
live poultry. I believe this is poor ad¬ 
vice to give anyone, for two reasons: 
If there is any trace of disease, as roup 
Continuous Hatching. 
I read M. B. D.’s answer to P. O. B., 
page 59. The only part I find right is 
the number of eggs in the machine, which 
might exceed 200 and might not. As 
f£f as the hatching at different periods 
iii one machine, I know it can be done, 
as I followed that scheme for two sea¬ 
sons in a 600-egg machine. The hatch¬ 
ings were just as large and birds just 
as healthy as by the other method, 
although the trouble was in keeping the 
eggs clean that were not hatching. The 
different temperatures M. B. D. talks of 
amount to less than incubator makers 
wish us to believe. That idea is no ex¬ 
periment with me. * w. j. dougan. 
The success which Mr- Dougan reports 
in continuous hatching in one incubator, 
using a smaller one to supply it with 
tested eggs at regular intervals, seemed 
to me so unusual that I have asked the 
Poultry Department at Cornell Uni¬ 
versity to give me their opinion of its 
practicability; and I quote the following 
from their reply: 
"In regard to the question of the con¬ 
tinued hatching of eggs in the same ma¬ 
chine that have been in incubators in 
various stages, I may say that we should 
not, in any case, advocate the doing of 
this. Primarily, the reason would be 
that embryos at different stages require 
different amounts of heat, and also dif¬ 
ferent atmospheric conditions. It is un¬ 
practical to maintain the temperature 
that would be required at all times, as 
when a few eggs are hatching the tem¬ 
perature will necessarily go a little 
higher, and might go too high to obtain 
the desired results from the younger eggs. 
It certainly is not practical, even in the 
case of experienced poultrymen, to mix 
the eggs in various stages of development 
together. We have occasionally in our 
cellar put a few batches of eggs in 
various stages together, but have had con¬ 
siderable difficulty, also, with regard to 
the moisture needed. In 
had two different stages 
same machine we would 
about a fair average. In 
would not be 
results. To 
we should not advocate the mixing of 
eggs; there should be eggs of only one 
stage of development in the same ma¬ 
chine.” 
An Alabama correspondent, referring 
to the same matter, says: “When I first 
ran foul of the incubator I thought it 
would be a good idea to put in what eggs 
I had about a week apart and have 
them come off that way. and I tried it 
some half dozen times. The first lot put 
in always gave a satisfactory hatch, but 
the later additions which were in the 
machine while the first lot were hatching 
were failures. They developed perfectly 
up to a certain point and stopped. On 
breaking the unhatched eggs, the ma¬ 
jority of them had fully developed and 
nice looking birds in them, hut it appears 
that they lacked the ability to break the 
shells. The result was invariably the 
same.” 
In spite of Mr. Dougan’s success, I 
think that the amateur will do well to 
go slowly with this method and not risk 
any very valuable eggs until he has 
demonstrated his ability to overcome the 
difficulties which he will be sure to meet. 
M. B. D. 
or colds in the slaughtered fowls, the 
feeding of these wastes will tend to 
spread such trouble all through the flock. 
Second, I believe it has a tendency to 
create a cannibalistic craving among the 
live stock. A few years ago I had charge 
of a flock, and it seemed impossible to 
keep them free from roupy colds. All 
this time they were being fed green bone, 
and the chicken wastes were ground up 
with this. At last I cut out the chicken 
offal, burning it up clean, heads, legs and 
entrails, and within a month a decided 
improvement was noted and eventually 
we were able to have a flock apparently 
all clear. c. j. b. 
It is true that there would be a cer¬ 
tain amount of danger in feeding poultry 
offal to hens, unless great pains were 
taken to see that only offal from healthy 
fowls was used. Itoup. tuberculosis, and 
various intestinal diseases might he so 
spread. This danger might he avoided 
by cooking the offal, hut it is probably 
a better disposition of this waste to burn 
or bury it. m. b. d.

Securing Profits in Poultry. 
I wish to learn liow to make more 
money out of my poultry. I should like 
to know about feeding and care of flocks 
in 400 lots, also about mating. 
Newburg, N. Y. w. w. m. 
The feeding and care of large flocks of 
poultry, and the principles of mating, are 
subjects which could not he adequately 
treated in less space than a good sized 
volume would afford. With the exception 
of rearing, in fact, they cover the whole 
ground of poultry culture. It could hardly 
be expected that we could cover that 
amount of ground in the limited space 
which these columns afford, but we shall 
be very glad to discuss any particular 
points in the care of poultry, or any 
problems which confront our readers. 
There are many hooks published which 
attempt to cover the ground of poultry 
culture, and of these, “The Business 
lien,” published by The Rural Publish¬ 
ing Co., offers as practical and helpful 
discussions of the subject as any single 
volume with which I am acquainted.

S. R 
Rye is a suitable food for poultry if 
prepared so that they will eat it. The 
hard whole grain does not appear to be 
palatable to most hens and it would 
probably he better to grind it and make 
it a part of their mash. If they will 
eat it cooked o? soaked, I know of no 
reason why it should not be fed in either 
of these ways. Rye is very similar to 
oats in nutritive value, and while I have 
never had occasion to feed it, I should 
not hesitate to do so if I had it on hand.
