NO ADVANCE IN OIL
The Enoch Talbot Not Yet Heard From-Rui-
ing Quotations

ing VuOtatOHS
A meeting of the board of directors OF
the oil exchange was held on Monday
afternoon, but no action was taken tow
ard advancing the price of 81 per bar
rel +. o. b. The members decided to pur-
chase a tank and pumping plant on the
line of the Santa Fe at the foot of Ban
ming street, thus giving them loading IA
cilities on both rans-continental rail-
roads. This action was taken with a
view to going more actively into the
market, and from now on the exchange
will be able to handle orders of any size
and from any point.
1t is reported that the 81 mark is well
maintained and the feeling was express
ed that oil would before long be selling
at that price at the wells. Many produ-
GERS are refusing to make long contracts
at the 81 rate, but will hold off for a
raise. Those of the well owners who are
now compelled to supply from 500 to 2000
barrels per month on a 80 cent basis are
gnashing their teeth and pocketing their
loss as best they may There are still
q few OF those longtime low-priced con-
tracts In existence, and every advance
in the price of oil only makes existence
the harder for the man bound by these
letters, as very few can supply the re-
CURED amount from their own wells. but
are compelled to buy in open market at
a ruinous rate
There were several sales reported yes
terday at S5 cents at the wells, which is
5 cents less than the exchange quota
ton, but no great amount is moving at
this great rate. Many producers refuse
to sell at all, thinking that it is matter
or only few weeks at best when they
will realize good price for their oil. 1t
is probable that no material advance
will be maze until after the Talbot gets

Choice Table Fowls.

Some of the strongest advocates of
the keeping of breeds for producing
choice table fowls maintain that fowl
should have yellow legs to find favor
with buyers, which is partially true. but
if some enterprising poultryman would
make an attempt to raise choice fowls
by using the Games or Dorkings and
building up special market for them
on quality, he would meet with excel
lent success, yet the Dorkings and nearly
all of the Games have legs other than
yellow. Where the mistake is made
is in the endeavor to select a breed
that will prove good layers and also pos
sess all the desirable qualities for the
table; but while some breeds do combine
both desirable qualities to certain ex-
tent, yet such breeds as Dorkings and
Games do not rank among the best lay
ers There will never be a reputation
gained by any farmer for extra choice
table fowls until he is willing to expect
fewer eggs from such. What we mean
by table fowls are those better than the
ordinary market" poultry. There is
an opening for producing something ex-
ira choice, and the prices will be easily
secured for such stock on the stalls
Exchange.

others, and by breeding only from the
best. This is an important part of
poultry keeping, as the next years
operations will largely depend on the
young pullets that were Matched to add
to the flock. If every egg used for hatch
ing were known to have been laid by q
hen that has proved herself an extra
good layer it would have wonderful
effect on the future usefulness of all.
Every inferior hen that is allowed to
contribute eggs TO those intended for
Matching purposes is menace to the
improvement of the flock, and this IN
jury cannot be prevented by adopting
some other breed, as the first essential to
safety is to allow nno drones. There can
be scrubs even among pure breeds If the
characteristics of the breeds are not
guarded by selection. The time is
drawing near when the Matching of the
pulets will begin. Every pullet should
be sired by pure-bred male and its dam
should be one of the best hens in the
flock. and Farmer.

Keep Strict Accounts The New Year
No farmer can expect to be successful
with poultry unless he knows what he is
doing. He may be gaining or losing, &C.
cordirg to circumstances, and If the ex-
act condition of affairs could be known
it would largely serve to guard against
mistakes or assist in increasing the re-
ceipts. Every farmer and poultryman
should keep an exact account of every
dollar expended and received. By so
doing the hens will show what they have
done for every week and month in the
year, and the prices Will partially enable
one to know what the market may be
for the corresponding period of the next
year. 1t is much easier to keep an &C.
count with the hens thar with the larger
stock, as there are usually daily receipts
of eggs, which need only be counted and
entered, while the food can be measured
in bulk and fed out until it is consumed.
We believe that If farmers would keep
strict accounts with their fowls they
would be surprised at the profit derived
in proportion to capital invested, and
there IS no better time to begin than at
present, when the new year is just be-
ginning, and when the accounts could
be kept by one of the younger members
of the family.-Mirror and Farmer.

The Winter Layer.

The breed that lays In the winter is
regarded as the one which produces a
profit, and this view is one held mostly
by those who do not keep record. An
experiment with the flock will show that
much depends on the individual char
scteristics of each member of the flock,
and the point Is to learn which of the
hens is the most profitable. Expert
ments will also show that in the summer
the expenses are much less than in the
winter, and the farmer can continue TO
compare the work of the hens when the
weather is favorable with what they
have done in winter. He should also
use different foods and endeavor to note
the results. Any breed can be improved
if close observation is made OF the in
dividuals. Many of those who succeed
in securing a high average for large
flock owe their success to discarding the
hens that failed Ito keep up with the

The Eggs Quality Again.

Will some Of our readers who are ex-
perimenting with poultry in regard to
their egg producing qualities please turn
their attention to the quality of the
egg produced, not only from the differ
emit breed of fowls they are experiment
ing with, but also with regard to the
difference In eggs produced from differ
ent kinds of food. Tie attention
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-01-15

poultrymen has been directed somewhat
to the uniform color of the egg shell,
but has it been sufficiently directed to
the quality of the egg itself for table
use, and also for other purposes? MANY
things are yet to be learned about pro-
ducing and preserving eggs, which must
be learned by experiments directed by
thoughtful poultrymen for special
purpose. That all eggs are not alike, or
equally good for table use, is known to
every caterer aud every cook.
That eggs apparently equally "fresh"
are of very different value after having
been Kept for tip@e, is known to every
body.
But the cause of all these inequalities
has never been fully made known.
1t is the business of the poultrymen
and breeders Of pure bred birds to make
such experiments as will lead to the pro-
duction of the best eggs for each par
ticular purpose; because flavor, which
is very essential quality in eggs for the
table. may be entirely neglected, pro-
vided it is not offensive, in eggs to be
used in mixed batterS.
In the latter case the delicate taste
may be sacrificed, if necessary, for the
larger amount Of substance.
Then, again, there has been much
time and money spent in trying to de-
wise some means of preserving eggs
fresh May not the solution of this
whole question be yet found in the man
ner of egg production, connected with
the condition of the laying hens, their
food, and the keeping of them alone !?
There is here large field for experiment
into which the enterprising poultryman
should enter, rather than, as a fancier,
continue spending so much thought and
attention to producing special forms and
special marks on what are called i'm
proved breeds. Let us have good eggs
for special purposes, and plenty of them,
AM receive the reward of our labor and
be benefactor of mauy egg eaters. -Ex-

Egg Hatchlng in Egypt.


Among the fellahs of modern Egypt
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 ma
turity 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 cham
Der about eleven feet square and four
feet high, with fat roof. Above this
another chamber nine feet high is built
with vaulted roof, having small open
ing in the middle to admit light. Below
larger opening communicates with the
room underneath. In cold weather both
rooms are kept closed and lamp is left
burning In each, entrance then being
had though the lower chamber.
When the oven is ready the proprietor
goes to the neighboring villages and col
lects eggs. They are placed on mats
strewn with bran, in the lower cham Der.
Fires are then lighted in troughs along
the sides of the upper room, the eggs
being in two lines Immediately below.
The fires are lighted twice day, the
first dying out at noon and the other
burning from eight to pine in the even
ing. The first batch of eggs is left for
half day in the warmest place, and then
it makes room for the next, until all
have been warmed. This 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 five days in another cham
Der, 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 ar seven
days.
The eggs are examined constantly by
being held against The upper eyelid, to
reveal if they are warmer than the hui
man skin. The whole process lasts
twenty-one days, but thin-shelled eggs
are often Matched in eighteen. The heat
required is eighty-six degrees Fahren-
heit. Excessive heat is undesira ble.-
