I have watched #t all' and I am little the wiser, but 1 can tell you what saw. The breeder from whom I buy + hatches 3,500 chicks every Wed- nesday for eight months of the year, so the sexer works for him one morning a week, and works for other breeders and hatcheries the rest of the time.

In a corner of the jncubator-room a small space had _been walled off and a 'curtain was drawn aside to reveal to me a young man seated at astable in the top of which were three large holes a8 big as dinner plates, Under the central hole was the termination of a chute down which someone was passing chicks to him at what seem- ed to me a fantastic speed. The other "holes and chutes were so eonstructed that chicks passed into- them slid away into-boxes. There was- a very bright Hght, shaded, of course, from the sexer's eyes, and the rhythm of his move- ments held me spellbound. 1° did not see him fumble once.

Pointing their rear ends at a bowl, perhaps two feet away, he would give a sharp squeeze, which would evaculate the Httle tummy with a very definite "zip!" : . This is the secret, this is the arth It has to be-.done, but if you or 1 were to try it we should kill chick after chick.
