Each normal egg has an air cell ie large .end and it is necessary that the membrane separating the r portion of the egg from the shell membrane be neither broken ror shaken loose. Research has shown that eggs with remulous air cells hatched only two-thirds as well as the eggs which had normal air cells. Packing the eggs with the large end up removes the •eissure from the inner membrane. The egg case should never be placed on the bumper of an automobile, as the vibration at this point is possibly greater than on the floor inside the car. If the hatching eggs -are hauled in a waggon or truck the bed should be matted with straw, which serves as a shock absorber. he form o ptu choir made up of memibers of the Missionary group, including Marjorie Mutton.
