TO IMPROVE EGGS,

To improve the rich yellow OF the
egg Mr.. Wheeler, of the Agricultural
Experiment Station of New York, says:
"Ihe color Of the yolk OF the egg
seems often to be affected very notice
ably by change in the food. It is
frequently the case that from fowls
closely confined in winter or summer
having little variety of food, and espe-
cially q ration deficient in green food,
show pale colored Yolks. A change in
the amount of meat or fresh bones
does not always seem to have much in
6uence. | have known hens that had
the run of the barn and barnyard to
lay eggs with much darker colored
yolks than did neighboring hens con-
fined, but fed better in most respects.
In one instance much deeper orange
color in the yolk followed change il
feeding to green clover and alfalfa.
One lot, where pale colored yolks were
the rule, laid eggs with orange colored
yolks after they had been given the
run of barn floor covered with dry
clover, chaff and leaves. a change in
color of butter is often noticeable in
the same way when COWS are turned to
pasture after dry feed. Clover, hay
and corn or alfalfa hay is good to feed
hens when the fresh fodder cannot be
had, and may help to bring about the
change desired"
The color of chicken has little to
do with the laying qualities, although
there are some who will say that white
fowls lay more eggs than colored, and
vice versa. I am inclined to believe
that ii there is any great difference it
would be in favor of colored fowls. In
Cochins, White, Black and Partridge
are considered better layers than Buff.
In the Leghorn class the Buff seems to
lead both the White and Brown; but
we doubt whether this has been thor.
oughly tested. Some of the finest egg
producers | ever saw were White faced
Black Spanish and also Houdans, both
of which are extensively kept for egg
production as well rs their general
good points rs fancy fowls. Even the
beautiful Light Brahma fowls have
wonderful records. One can soon dis.
cover, by actual comparison, what
breed he prefers, New York indie,
