Flavor in Eggs.

There is no doubt that the flavor Of
eggs depends very much on the kind
of food given to the hens. When they
are fed largely or almost exclusively
on raw meats, which often happens
where there is a slaughter yard close
by, the yolk of the egg will be darker
color and the flavor strong and coarse.
When milk is almost exclusively fed,
the yolk is paler, and the white often
has a milky appearance, while the
whole egg is watery and less firm in
texture than those laid by hens fed on
grain. And, just as the color and ap-
pearance are affected, so is the flavor
The milk-fed eggs are insipid and un-
satisfactory when poached Or used in
buildings.
In the latter capacity the quality of
the egg is very noticeable to the cook,
who sometimes finds that she requires
four eggs to make a custard today,
whereas last week she used but two.
Sometimes four or five eggs will not
thicken at all, at others two ordinary
sized eggs will thicken a pint of milk;
this is all owing to the feeding

A Model Farmers Hen House.

A we'll lighted, comfortable and
roomy hen house is very essential in
the profitable management of poultry
The greatest profits in poultry rails
ing are realized at a time of year
when the weather is cold, wet and dis
agreeable Hence the necessity for
closely built, we'll lighted and roomy
houses. There are days during the
winter and early spring season when
poultry are better off if confined to
the house; therefore let the houses be
built as large as possible, not less
than 8x1O feet floor space for each fiji
teen head of grown stock. Eight by
twelve feet is a better size, as this
gives room for straw, leaves or other
litter for the fowls to exercise them
selves with. A few handsful of wheat
or millet seed scattered among the lit
ter will keep the fowls busy and con-
tented.
The house must be we'll lighted to
let in the suns rays for warmth and
light for the fowls to see by, for if
left to themselves the hens will pre-
fer to stay in the bleak outside rather
than in a dark gloomy house.
The hen house can not be built too
tight. If plastered or lined with tarred
felt it is that much better. Plenty of
fresh air will reach the inside through
the cracks in the doors and windows.
We prefer ordinary flooring or wea-
Their boards for planking in a hen
house, and shingles are the best for
covering the roof. -Southern Cultiva,

Brothers,.

This month prices on broilers begin
to rise, and before the month is over
those who have some to sell will dis
cover that there's more proftin selling
young stock than in old, as the cost
of food is less and the length of time
when attention must be given is short
err.
1t may be claimed that young chicks
are more difficult to raise, and there Is
a smaller loss among adults; but as the
adult must first pass through all the
stages of chickenhood, it's attendant
drawbacks, anything that may be an
obstacles to the one applies equally to
the ether. It is difficult to fatten grow
ing chicks, however; but they can be
made as fat as it is possible to get
them. The food usually given them,
when they are large enough to sell, Is
corn meal, mOistened with either milk
or water, morning and night-as much
as they can eat, adding four ounces of
crude melted tallow to every pound Of
cornmeal Begin this food ten days or
two weeks before selling them.
At noon give finely chopped green
food, bone meal, or any variety that
they will eat Never leave food before
them, or give too much at one time, as
fermented food may induce bowel
disease and cause loss of weight-EX.

fertility in the eggs. There are still
people in this enlightened age who
stuff their chickens, both old and
young. Now corn is useful in the
poultry business, as lard or bacon is
in the kitchen but not as a regular
diet. If you want to fatten poultry or
warm them in cold swapping weather
in winter or when hen is poor and
on that account not laying, and needs
a little help, etc., corn is just the thing
and the yellower the better, but as
general diet it is about as bad a thing
as you can give, especially when fowls
are cOnfined.-VermOnt Farm Journal.

Fowls in Confinement.

Overlooking and lice are the two
causes of most disasters to poultry,
and, as neither of them are diseases,
poultrymen are to blame for all the
many consequences that follow upon
their heels. Poultry in confinement
must be fed differently from those
which have a free run of grass or
woodland, in which latter they revel,
hunting over all the leaves, and
scratching away. around and under Old
logs for their favorite grubs and bugs.
If you have not made it a business to
watch your hens and chicks carefully
you do not realize what a large
amount of grass and green food they
will eat in a day, when it is at hand,
and when they have not been Overfed
with grain or scraps. and this is not
all, as hens need rough food or some
thing that gives bulk as we'll as nu-
triment. Even though you feed the
confined birds the same identical food
they obtained for themselves on
good run it would not be the same as
they would still lack the exercise so
necessary for their health, and, there
fore, in confinement, the same food
would be too much for them. This is
why successful raisers of poultry in
confinement always throw the grain to
their fowls in straw, thus compelling
them to work for it. Also hanging a
cabbage head just out of standing
reach, so that they must jump for ev-
cry pick at it. This is a good system,
and exercise is necessary for their
health, but if the food was composed
more of heterogeneous elements and less
of the carbonaceous especially of the
oils and fats,) there would not be so
much necessity for this constant train
ing down process, less over fat hens
which stop laying and want to set, less
sluggishness in the yards, and more
