The OAKLAND NEST.

To BE Used In FIocks Addicted to the
Practice of Eating.
The cut represents an an anti-egg-
eating nest to be used in focks which
have acquired this pernicious habit.
The nest is built so as to hang to two
screws on the wall Straps are fastened
at the rear, as shown by A; these straps
are then hung on screws, this being a
very convenient way, as the nest may
be moved from one part of the building
to another by simply unlocking the
supports. II are the hinges attached
to the lid d. This lid may be raised
when the eggs are gathered, also in
cleaning the nests. Il is a board ex-
tending about six inches in front Of the
entrance to the nest and serves as a
place for biddy to hop upon before en-
tering the nest.
G is the interior board. This should
extend up to the lid for six inches of
its length, then cut down TO two inches

FLAVOR OF EGGS.
1t Depends Largely on the Food Given to
the Hens.

1t Depends Largely on the Food Given to
the Hens.
The flavor of eggs depends very much
on the kind of food given to the poultry.
When hens are fed largely or almost
exclusively on milk, the yolk is lighter
in color, the white has a milky look,
and the whole egg is watery and less
firm in texture than those laid by grain
fed hens. The taste of the egg is also
affected, being insipid and unsatisfac-
tory when boiled or poached, and less
fine for ordinary cooking purposes
even. There is no use in saying that
the idea of the quality of eggs being
influenced by the food of the hens is a
mere within; since it is well-known
fact that the eggs of fowls kept in the
neighborhood of the sea and fed almost
entirely on fish-taken as they come,
embracing the strong and oily as well
as the more delicate sorts-have IAN
ancient and fish-like" taste, if not
smell, and eggs coming from those
regions sell for less in the market, in
some instances, than those coming from
districts farther inland.
The reason why hens fed on 'slops"
of milk, etc, are able to give no better
eggs to their owners is because the
"old, old story" is repeated in their
case. You demand the tale Of brick
of your servants. but you give them
no straw to make them with. Curd
hardly comes under the head of milk.
and there is little danger of having IL
in large quantities TO offer to your
fowls. 1t contains all the best and
most nutritious portions Of the milk,
without its Objectionable, watery
qualities. But the true feed for laying
fowls is one-third or one-quarter In
dian corn, ground or otherwise, and
oats or wheat, together with milk and
whatever scraps from the hou' are OBJ
tainable, and as much green vegeta-
BILE food as they win eat, and with
these, combined and fed properly, your
eggs will be of the true gold and silver
stamp-when the cooks fire has re-
fined them and prepared them as q rel
ish for your breakfast table Poultry

AS it may be of interest to some

orphans" by dogs which killed their
mother. They were a week old when
they lost their mother; when 40 days
old they weighed 26 and 80 pounds re-
spectively. They are now SIS days old
and stiIl growing nicely. Here is my
method of feeding them: made box
(see cut that will hold milk without
leaking Then / bored two small holes
near the bottom Of it, and inserted two
little plugs of wood which are left
sticking out about an inch. Through
them are holes about the size of com
mon knitting needle for the passage Of

soft cotton rag and made to resemble

ABOUT RE.ouEENINe.
How Some of the Weak Stands May Be
Put TO Good Use.

How Some of the Weak Stands May Be
Put TO Good Use.
In almost every apiary there are al
ways few stands that seem 10 be
weak when compared with others.
These stands are of little value so far
as the production of any surplus honey
is concerned, but they can be put TO
good use in starting nuclei and queen
rearing find have three or four of
these poor colonies. They were good,
strong ones last season and were
seemingly as strong and healthy this
spring as some of the rest. But now
that the honey season is here l find
they are away behind, and will be of
little value for field work.
The trouble with these colonies is,
the queen has lost her vigor and is in
manner worthless. After awhile the
bees will kill her, or she may die and
they will rear another; but they don't
seem TO know when to do this, nor
does the beekeeper until it is too late
for the best results. And when they do
rear a new queen it is always from the
old stock, and is not likely to lie first
class one. The value of a colony
largely depends on the queen. If we
expect to get any surplus we must have
good prolific queens.
/ have usually been in the habit of
uniting the weak colonies in the
spring But we may sometimes unite
two or three of them and when the
honey harvest arrives they are little if
any better than some weak ones that
were not united. believe it is better
to unite weak one with a strong one
or else just let them alone; at least 1t
seems so very often. Quite often I
have known colonies that were very
weak in the early spring TO build up
fast, and almost equal any of the rest.
They, of course, had young prolific
queens. In such cases it is loss to
unite them.
But we must do something with those
that have poor queens and do not get
strong enough to give any surplus.
They may not be any better another
year, and may never be of any value so
far as producing any honey, unless we
requiem them 1t will hardly pay to
buy queen for them, for queens are
pretty high in the fore part of the sea-
son, and if we would buy one they
would hardly get sufficiently strong to
make much money. The cheapest way
is to rear a queen from our choicest
stock and give 1t to them. sometimes
kill the queen and give them queen
cell, or unite them with swarm, but
always kill the queen before uniting.
They are very apt to fight when thus
united, but a pretty severe smoking
will generally subdue them Sometimes
these colonies are very old and their
combs black and pretty well filed with
pollen. In such cases it may not be the
queens fault. The best thing to do
with these combs is to melt them into
beeswax, and give them new combs, or
sheets Of foundation, and let them
draw it out. If you have such stands
as these don't fool time away with
them, but overhaul them in some way
and try to make them profitable, for in
all probability they will never be of
any account till you attend to them

TO DEVELOP COLTS.
Wholesome Food and Judicious Exercise
the Prime Essentials.

Wholesome Food and Judicious Exercise
the Prime Essentials.
There should be not a moment in the
life of the colt but what should be Civ
en- to development. Leland Stanford's
establishment is one of the most scien-
tifically conducted systems of horse
breeding known. Here may be seen
the lines of heredity handed down from
a long line of ancestry. Here also is a
system of feeding which marks the re-
suit of great study and research. There
are trottIng courses, and as soon as the
colt is born he IS logged every day.
When the colt has outgrown this small
course he is put upon larger one, and
so on until he is capable of trotting on
the half-miie or mile track. The first
year of the colts life he IS fed on soft
food. Every day the youngster has a
regular amount of exercise and regu-
lar mum Der of miles Of trotting; every
month the exercise is increased. The
early education of the colt TO an easy
and graceful gait is acquired by con-
slant practice. 1t becomes natural for
him to trot; speed is a part of his
growth. The development of the
PercheroD horse has attained to that
degree Of perfection that his growth Of
to-day at one year old Is as great as
formerly at two years Hence the ne
cessity Of keeping the colt growing
Boiled oats and barley is an excel
lent food for colts. In producing
growth and feeding grain, it is abso-
lutely necessary that breeders keep in
mind the Importance of exercise. Feed
your colt well, keep him constantly
growing, and Z ect him from the ex-
tremes of heat and cold. e. A. Pow
