The person that sets hens early must
expect to put in some time in watch
ing to see that all things about the
nests are right. 1t Is necessary to visit
the sitters two or three times a day
to be sure that none Of the eggs have
been rolled OF into corner of the
nest and to be sure that the hens
have not made a blunder and gone
back onto the wrong nest. Such a
visi: should be made before dark to
see that all things are right for the
uight. This care needs also to be ex-
ercised in the summer time, but not to
80 great degree.

ColOrlnE Butter.


The color question Is q matter OF
vital interest to the dairymen Of the
United States. Upon that line nearly
all the repressive legislation that has
been had against the fraud oleomar-
garine, is based. For that reason, In
order that in the future deception and
swindling may be prevented, It oe-
comes a matter Of necessity that al
butter shall come upon the table IN q
yellow color, says Hoard's Dairyman.
So far as deaths having ever ensueo
from the eating of butter that has been
colored, that is the merest humbus.
Butter is colored simply as a matter
of taste. because in summer. when feeo
is green, all butter is yellow. 1t does
not make poor butter good butter. The
coloring has nothing whatever to DO
with the question of quality. No man
need be persuaded to buy poor butter
for good because it is yellow. Quallty
in butter is not judged by the eye' but
by the taste and smell, SO color mas
nothing to do with quality. but has
much to do with another department
of value, that of appearance to suit the
eye of the customer.
The aim of the dairymen and all
consumers who do not wish to be
swindled into buying oleomargarina
when they call for butter. is to force
oleomargarine, by the strong arm OF
the law. to appear in the market and
elsewhere in its own distinctive color.
which is white. or nearly SO. Then.
II the poor want 1t as cheap substi-
tute for butter. they can buy 1t for
what it is worth. Public sentiment
and understanding is fast coming to
see the integrity, fairness and wisdom
of such purpose.
The boarding house or restaurant
keeper who puts white butter on his
table is lacking in good business sense.
No deaths, nor even sickness, have
ever occurred, to our knowledge, from
eating butter colored by any form Of
color.
The sooner all butter comes on the
table in yellow attire and all substi-
tutes are forced to appear uncolored,
the quicker will justice be done to the
consumer and the dairymen.
