UNIFORMITY IN COLOR OF EGGS

Anything tastefulIy arranged is at
tractive. This is true of eggs prepared
for market as well as anything else. A
box or basket of eggs that are uniform
or nearly so. in color. are much more
attractive than if they should vary
greatly In color, or even in size.
The dealer who has a great many
eggs on hand a assert and classify
his eggs, both as to color and size, but
the farmer who has only a small mum
Der to take to town cannot well do so.
He must think and plan beforehand, in
order to get eggs that will CLASSIFY uni
formly and be attractive.
There is a plan that might be adopted
in order to gain the desired result, and
that, too, without very much expense.
We will suppose that the fowls on the
farm are all sorts of colors and sizes,
with very little of similarity between
any of them. The first step, then,
would be to dispose of all the ROSTERS,
and to get, say two or three good Brown
LeghOrn males to run with the hens
From such a mating the pullets would
be half Leghorn and their eggs would
be almost all pure white shelled. O..
course, as soon as the pullets should be
big enough to lay, the common hens
should go. Then the second year other
pure Brown Leghorn cocks Of a differ
ent strain should be introduced. Their
progeny would be so nearly purebred
that the pullets would lay clear white
shelled eggs, very uniform in color,
and very pretty. An additional point
would also then have been gained in
the fact that the whole flock being so
nearly Leghorn in blood, the laying
qualities of the hens would be quite
equal to pure Leg1orns, and they would
lay at least a third more eggs than
their barnyard grandmothers that the
farmer started with.
If brown shelled eggs should be pre-
ferred, then, instead of Leghorns, light
Brahma cocks should be mated with
the common hens. the light Brahmas,
as a rule, lay very rich, brown shelled
eggs, and a good many of them in the
course of year. Besides, when mated
with ordinary stock, the progeny is
very fine for the table. The Brahma
males would certainly, in the course OF
a season or two increase the whole
flock greatly in size, al we'll as to re
suit in brown shelled eggs of good size
and flavor,
The farmer who does not introduce
thoroughbred stock of some kind in
his flock of dunghills, and breed to an
object, is greatly behind the times, and
stands in his own light, financially.

IIVE STOCK.
az "DID NOT WANT TO RNCoUR-
AGE GRADE STOCK"
C-orregpondenee Of the Progressive Farmer.

correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
At the recent State Fair there was a
prize offered by the Society for the
''best SOW with six pigs under one year
old, owned and bred by exhibitor"
This is an old item in the schedule. It
is supposed to be honored by the c O
milton of merit in the SOW and her
progeny.
At this show the one judge was re
mOnstrated with for his award, and
the above heading embodies his reply.
We do not know but that the award
was just, and that it was deserved by
the receiver, but there are several
points to be drawn out of this replv of
the judge and putting one man up to
Judge" oil the cattle, sheep andswine
which may be exhibited at a State
Fair. 1. The prize offered as above
called for the award to the best in the
class "of any class" The Judge was
not given any choice as to breed or
grades. His reply to a gentleman who
is himself a fair judge of swine, implies
that the judge did recognize superior
merit IN stock which was entered as
grade" but did not want to encourage
that kind of breeding" We wish to
stick to this a moment longer. The
State Fair is supposed to be a great
educational institution. 1t receives
some money from the State and more
from liberal citizens who wish to ex-
tend its usefulness as far as possible.
The majority of the land owners and
householders r owners or breeders of
swine on a small scale. The swine
ranges from the piney woods rooter
that makes its own living up to the
finest specimens which we saw exhib-
tied from the large stock farms en-
bracing the best leading varieties of
swine extant. Most of the swiGein the
State is of the former kind, and there
is little profit in raising that kind.
The improved pigs are more expen
sive than most people think they can
afford. Every where we hear and see
farmers urged to improve their stock
and grade up by the use of purebred
sires This is so common that to men
ton it here is sufficient to bring up in
dependent instances in the mind of
every reader.
Now, when a course of grading up
has produced some animals of real
merit, the selected representative who
is employed to point out the best of a
class, instead of combining himself to
the duty assigned, rises to disqualify
the graded up stock because he docs
not wish to encourage grade stock"
Why did he not turn down at once the
grade bulls posing as native stocks
But every nice point should not be
raised against a man for errors of
judgment when he is trying to spread
himself out so thin, except the one of
accepting so much and expecting PEG
pie to think it ''all right
This is a protest against the one
judge system for all kinds of stock,
One good man to a kind is all right,
but one man for all kinds is too much
work for the man. OBSERVER

POULTRY YARD
EGG PATCHING IN EGYPT.

Among the fellahs of Egypt a process
of incubation is in use which has been
handed down from antiquity, perhaps
from the time of Diodorus, who, forty
years before the Christian era, said
that the Egyptians brought eggs to
maturity with their own hands, and
that the chickens Matched thus were
not inferior to those Matched in the
usual way. The process is described in
Nature.
Ovens are built, consisting of a
chamber II feet square and 4 feet high,
with a fat roof. Above this another
chamber 9 feet high, is built, with a
vaulted roof, having a small opening
in the middle to admit light. Below a
larger opening communicates with the
roof underneath. In cool weather both
rooms are kept closed, and a lamp is
left burning in each, entrance then be
ing had through the lower chamber.
When the oven is ready the proprie-
tor goes to the neighboring villages

mats, strewn with bran, in the lower
chamber. Fires are then lighted in
troughs along the sides of the upper
room, the eggs being in two lines i'm
mediately below. The fires are lighted
twice a day, the first dying out at noon
and the other burning from 3 to 8 in
the evening. The first batch of eggs
is left for half a day in the warmesT
place, and then it makes way for the
next, until all have been warmed. The
process is kept up for six days, when.
the eggs are examined carefully in a
strong light. Those that are clear are
cast aside. Those that are cloudy are
put back in the oven for another four
days. They are then removed for five
days to another chamber, where there
are no fires, but the air is excluded.
After this they are placed an inch or
two apart and continually turned, this
last stage taking six or seven days.
The eggs are examined constantly by
being held against the upper eyelid to
