Cost of Egg Production.

Estimates have placed the cost Of one
dozen eggs at as high figure as II cents.
but some experimenters find the cost to
be but six cents. At the experiment
stations, where every pound of food is
weighed, and but little waste material
can be used, the cost is greater than the
average on the farms. 1t has long been
accepted among poultrymen that five
pecks of corn or wheaton the equivalent
thereof, will maintain laying hen one
year. At present prices this would be
about 65 cents year. We do not be-
lieve that the cost is so much when hens
are on ranges. as they need little or no
feed in the summer. The prices Of all
kinds of grain, of course, regulate the
cost O { eggs, but in our experience the
cost Of dozen eggs, at present prices
for feed, provided (and that is the main
point) the hens are good layers, should
not exceed six cents. This does not in
clude shelter or labor in caring for the
flock. If the hens are indifferent layers,
and the egg production is small, the
cost may reach as much as Is cents
dozen, but such is seldom occurrence.

tentfon eggs may, if necessary, easily be
kept month, and even more, without
destroying the fertility of the germ.
Not that such course is desirable, for
assuredly the best results are usually
obtained from eggs not more than seven
or ten days old and in the case of an in-
cubator being employed they should
never exceed this latter age. Notwith-
standing the wonderful Improvements
that science has made in artifci in
cubation, stale eggs cannot thus be
Matched with anything like The degree
of certainty that is obtained from the
natural process, and we feel sure that,
to large extent, this is cue to the wan.
Of that natural sec retlon that is i'm parted
to the eggs by the hen. But let this be
as it may, the fact remains that in order
to hatch successfully by artificial means
the eggs must be freshly laid. Person
ally, we never put eggs in to an incubator
that have been laid more than seven
days, and much prefer them when only
half that time has elapsed.

Moving Setting Hens.

Itseems impossible to compel a persist
emit sitter to leave her nest when the
desire is to ''break her up" but when
she is given new location she appar-
emily concludes not to sit at all. When
the hens become broody they should be
removed to some place away from the
layers. To do this let it be done after
dark. Take the nest and hen to the
new location, and if possible have the
surroundings as near like the place she
was removed from as can be arranged.
Give her two or three wooden eggs, and
do not give her the eggs for incubation
until assured that she has become con-
tented. Do not use glass or porcelain
eggs, as they are intensely cold to hen
when she goes on the nest, and may
cause her to abandon the nest alto
gether. Soap boxes should be used, as
no nest should be fastened to the
house.

Time Eggs May Be Kept.

Under proper conditions the fertility
of an egg may be preserved a considera-
BILE length Of time. Of course it is pref
cradle to set eggs shortly after their be-
ing laid, as best results can then be OBJ
tanned. But If this cannot always be
done they should be kept in proper
temperature and turned at least twice a
week. Upon this subject, the Feathered
World says:
The period that may elapse between
the time that an egg is laid and that
when it is placed under hen, or in an
incubator, varies considerably, both IN
regard to the actual egg itself and also to
the conditions under which it has been
stored. But slight announcement is
sufficient to destroy the fertility Of an
egg whose germ is weak, and eggs laid
by hens that are mated to strong, Wig
orOus cock bird wis: retain the germ in
TACT for much longer period than those
by hers which are accom- panied by h
more or less used up bird. Then, too,
unless special precautions are taken to
store the eggs in such temperature as
we have recommended, it will be found
that during cool weather eggs will re-
tam their fertility far longer than in hot
weather. But with proper care and at

The Poultry Yard.

It takes some farmers long time to
find out that they expen1 large sum on
experiments that should not be made,
while they refuse to experiment when
it.should be done. One Of the favolte
experiments practiced on nearly all
farms is thatof keeping hens and pulletS
for several months with the expectation
that they will soon begin to lay, and
such fowls are thus carried over for two
or three months only to be sold in
disgust at a time when they bring but
little In market. When a dozen hens
compose a flock and but few eggs are
secured, it is easily known which hens
are the layers, as the red combs will in
dictate the profitable ones. II the combs
are shriveled and have no color it is safe
to look for no eggs for quite time. To
keep such hens with the belief that they
will soon help to increase the number of
eggs is to incur unnecessary expense,
leaving out the fact that the improbable
hens will become so deeply increased to
their owner that they cannot IN the
future remunerate him for their support.
The best time to sell the hens IS when
they stop laying in the winter, as the
stock left will then be more profitable,
while less labor will be necessary and
more room will be afforded the layers.
A few hens that are laying will give a
profit which the larger flock will not do
if the layers must support the whole
number. In winter the rule should be
to keep no improbable hens, as room at
by idle fowls.

Fat Hens.

How often we hear the complaint, II
feed my hens plenty, but yet get no
eggs" or II give my hens the best of
care. Why do not get more eggs?"
The complainer goes ahead giving the
hens all they can eat and expects them
to lay.
Let us look at this little, Did you
ever see very tat man who was very
active? So it is with fat hens. 1t you
expect them to be active you should
not have them fat. A chicken is sup
posed to have to-Some time-be fat

desire TO scratch with zeal for the food
that is scattered among the litter on the
floor. When You give the fowls their
morning meal they still have desire for
mere though they do not need it to form
the eggs they are expected to lay, then
they exercise themselves by scratching
for the handful of millet seed you should
have thrown in the litter. This exer-
else which know they greatly enjoy by
the way they sing and talk about il, not
only makes them active but it uses up
the fattening parts of the food, produc.
ing warmth thereby, which would form
itself into fat and hinder the actions Of
the egg-making organs if it were not used
in order to form the heat by action.
You will find by referring to any
chemical analysis that nearly all foods

of these foods and it will pay you well.
have heard some say, "My hens are
not fat" when if they had examined
them carefully they would find a great
amount of fat gathered around the egg
organs. So don't say your hens are not
fat If they DO not seem to show it exter-
nally, but see if they will not lay better
If you give them less food or more exer-

By giving your fowls half feed in
the morning and full feed at night it
will leave desire for more which they
will try to satisfy by hunting among the

Eggs from Russia.

Eggs are now imported into England
from Russia shelled, beaten up, and
preserved in Theoretically sealed tins,
from which they are drawn off through
a tap. Eggs ia this condition are prin-
cipally used by bakers, and the advant-
ages claimed for the system are freedom
from damage in transport and long
keeping qualities. The tin or drum is
packed in straw in wooden case; and
holds the contents of 900 to 1900 eggs,
the whites and yolks being mixed to-
gether, poured into the drum. and the
aperture closed with bung and sealed.
Great care is said to be necessary in
selecting the eggs to be preserved, as
one BAD one will spoil the whole cask or
drum.

showed that 1t had not been catered and
further that Van Bokkelen had suddenly
