certain to be in a future time a large
branch of dairying. The agitation Of
the tuberculosis question has stirred
people I'D to demand germ-free milk.
At the present time what is known as
sanitary milk brings a better price
on the market than milk not sur
rounded with every safeguard. In
Chicago the price is double that for
ordinary milk, the rates per quart be-
ing 6 and IL cents. In sone other
places the rate is 10 cents per quart.
At these prices we are told the pro-
ducers Of sanitary milk cannot keep
up with the demand, Ultimately the
prices for the two kinds OF milk will
draw together, as the amount OF SAN
itary milk increases. When the idea
of using only safe milk has taken hold
of people to the extent that half OF
the milk used Is of that kind. new
factor will appear. That factor will
be local legislation in favor of sani-
tary milk and the prohibition of the
sale Of any other kind of milk.

Feeding for the production Of eggs
is a subject that constantly engages
the best thought Of the best poultry
men. That 1t is an open subject yet
it proved by the fact that good and
experienced poultrymen disagree as to
the composition of necessary rations
and the method of their feeding.
Even the men that adopt iron clad
rules in this regard are known to
change them. This goes to prove that
no fixed rule has yet been agreed on
For reasons which none OF US are as
yet able to understand, one man sue
ceeds with one ration and another
with another, even when the birds
are of the same breed and all condi-
lions appear to be similar. There Is
something in the handling of flock
that depends on the presence Of an
active intelligence, which intelligence
can never be reduced to rule.
The advantages of pens that can be
moved about freely are obvious. Re-
Gently the writer saw very good ar
rangement at the experiment station
at Southern Pines, N. C. A large wire
covered yard contained number Of
fowls, the yard being SO arranged that
1t could be moved daily. Little trucks
were at the four corners, but so ar
ranged that when not in service the
trucks permitted the frame of the yard
to rest on the ground. This was neces-
sary as a protection to the chicks. A
new pasture ground was thus given the
flock every day. Moreover, the manure
was evenly distributed and all accum-
ulations were prevented.
Chickering's hatch in twenty-one
days; duck eggs in twenty-eight; geese
eggs in thirty; turkey eggs, twenty
eight; guinea fowls, twenty-five; pea
fowls, twenty-eight; pheasants, twen-
ty-five; cartridges, twenty-four; os-
triches, forty to forty-two days. A
strictly fresh egg Of any extracuon will
hatch several hours earlier than stale
one. There is also a difference in the
time of Matching Of eggs caused by
the habits Of the birds sitting on them.
Some hens sit closer to the eggs than
do others and so keep the eggs at a
more even temperature. Such eggs are
about certain to hatch before others.
