Keeping Eggs.

The chief difficulty in keeping eggs
for long time results from the fact
that the albumen loses it's viscosity to
some extent, becoming more liquid, or
as. commonly expressed, 1T gets thin
ner" with age, instead of thicker, as
one might suppose from the evapora-
ton of it's watery part, and hence the
yolk being of superior gravity, settles
to the bottom and Adheres to the shell.
1t is necessary to the preservation of
the contents of the she'll that the yolk
be continually immersed in the albu-
men. The yolk coming in contact with
the she'll lis also in contact with air
through the porosity of the Shell and
slowly decomposition sets in, the alou-
men becomes contaminated and the
egg is spoiled. A recent issue of Cham
ber's Journal gives an experiment
made with $4,000 imported eggs from
Ireland and Denmark carried on in a
large London warehouse for the pur-

keeping eggs. The secret Of the meth
cd is to keep eggs reasonably cool, up
right, with free access to air, and to
turn them periodically and regularly
without danger of breakage. The au-
thority mentioned above declares that
by this method eggs can be kept in
good condition for at least five or six
months. The result of the operation
is to keep the yolk imbedded contin-
uously in the albumen. The eggs are
placed in a frame so arranged that by
the action of a lever they can be turn
ed little or much as desired, and it is
said 10000 can be ompletely turned
over in half a minute.-Texas Farm

blood and they will withstand dis
ease.
I feed my little chicks corn-bread,
do not sieve the meal and use butter
milk, soda and plenty of shortening.
I save all the settings Of meat, boil
ing and fry, fresh or old; the chicks
like it. Also wheat and cracked corn
when older. Occasionally I feed sui
phur in dry bran to old chickens; it is
tonic and helps to keep them free
from lice. In winter I give oil meal
in bran about twice week. 1 gather
clover leaves and blossoms where hay
is thrown out of NOW and mix with
bran and scald and give warm. I also
take beets and small potatoes, put in
wooden bowl and use chopping knife;
it is good feed for old chickens. Oys,
ter shells and crushed flint for health
and eggs. I set six and eight hens at
one time and when they hatch, give
fifteen to hen-this is much better
than letting a hen have six, eight or
ten. I drive all chickens out of coop
every morning, shut the door and then
take off setting hens and feed them,
staying with them until they go on
their nests. make a little door out
of shingle and fasten each hen to
herself that no chicken can modest her.
We have two rooms in our coop or
chicken house one to roost in and the
other to feed and lay in-the last work
in the evening with our hens is to lock
the doors to keep out the twolegged
pest. Miss Jennie Rhades, in Farm

How to Have Healthy Hens.

When fowls are judiciously fed
made to take exercise, and their quar-
ters kept clean and free from lice, there
is comparatively no trouble with sick
ness, except in cases of contagiOn.
When the combs and wattles of the
fowls are of bright red color, it indi-
Gates a condition of health.
When the hens are laying and sing
ing, and cocks are Growing, these are
signs of good health.
When you can enter the hen house
after dark and hear no wheeling
proves there are no sick fowls in the
flock.
When the manure is hard and a
portion is white, it indicates a healthy
condition of the digestive organs.
When the edge of the combs and
wattles are of purplish red and the
movements sluggish, there is some
thing wrong.
When fowls lay around Indifferent
TO their surroundings, they are too fat,
and death from appopleXy, indigestion
or liver complaint will result unless
the trouble is corrected.
when the fowls are restless and
constantly picking their feathers, they
are infected with vermin.

dueklings, appear to have a sore throat

The New Crop of Poultry.

The time is near when new crop OF
poultry will be produced, and the great
question is, how to save it all without
great loss. 1 do not know what per
cent of young chicks die, but we know
it is large. 1 used to figure ON losing
one-half and sometimes did not raise
that many; gapes, lice and cholera
was the cause. Last year l did not
have one to die, but had several killed
by pet cats. I have not had a case
of gapes in four years, and do not lose
half dozen of chickens in year by
disease. "How do 1 prevent it?"
hear many ask. By introducing new
blood every year in the colony. My
chickens are strong and healthy and do
not know what disease is. I keep
them ON the same ground that they
have been ON thirty years. Before I
began introducing new blood I kept
the incest cockerels Of my young
chickens every fall for use the next
year. and kept ON breeding year af-
ter year, losing one-half or more Of
my chicks and very often had cholera
among the old ones, and was always
giving a preventive of some kind.
L keep only one kind of chickens,
Plymouth Rock, and have some of the
same blood I started with in 1880. Sch
the older ones and keep the young. The
chickens have the rum of the farm, but
stay mostly i'm the orchard, where the
chicken house is. I think every farm
err ought only keep one pure breed of
chickens, not a mix ture of every kind
as we see on nearly every farm. Sc
lect the breed you like best and stay
by it, introduce new blood every year
in the colony by getting a setting Or
two of eggs from some one reliable and
save the cockerels for next years use.
If the human race would intermarry
how long would it be until the race
would become extinct; that is the rea-
son that we have stringent laws
against it, and it should be that way

In these thirteen years | have learn

Nine tenths of the cholera is lice, and
the other tenth filth and lack of plenty

A teaspoonful of powdered nux vom-

settle the feas, particularly if a little
lime is sprinkled around where they
gather in the shade at noon. No, the
powdered nux won't hurt the hens or
