The Relation of Feed to the Flavor of
Eggs.
Farmers Bulletin 122, u. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture: Housewives
VINO use many eggs and all who habit
ually eat them boiled know that there
Is much difference in the flavor of even
those which are undeniably fresh.
There is very general belief that the
nayor Is Influenced by the feed which
the hens receive and that materials
possessing strong fiavors, like onions,
turnips, etc., impart an injurious ia
vor to the eggs. The truth of this be-
lief was shown by recent experiments
at the North Carolina Station.
Chopped wild onion tops and bulbs
were fed to hens and the length OF
time before there was change in the
flavor of the eggs was noted, as well as
the length of time which must elapse
after onion feeding was discontinued
before the very Objectionable flavor
would disappear. At the beginning OF
the trial a half ounce OF chopped
onion tops per head daily was fed 10
IL hens of different breeds. Repeated
tests did not show any onion favor In
the eggs until the fifteenth day, when
1t was distinctly noticeable. Inc
amount of onion fed was doubled for
four days and then discontinued. The
eggs laid while the larger amount OF
onion was fed were so strongly ma
vored that they could not be used.
After disseminating the feeding OF
onions the flavor became less notice
able and in a week the eggs were OF
normal flavor. The main point brought
out by the tests was that flavor can
be fed into the eggs. Therefore 1t APP
pears that to insure finely favored
eggs 1t is necessary to restrict runs SO
that no considerable amount of food
which will produce badly favored eggs
can be obtained.
Some years ago the New York Cor
nell station, in studying the efrect OF
heterogeneous vs. carbonaceous food for
poultry, reported observations on the
effect of the different rations on the
flavor of the eggs. One lot of fowls
was fed a mixture of wheat shorts, cot
ton-seed meal and skim milk; another
lot cracked corn and corn dough. The
former ration contained much more
nitrogen than the latter. The hens
fed corn laid fewer eggs than those fed
the heterogeneous ration, but the eggs
were larger. The eggs produced by
the heterogeneous ration were of dis
agreeable flavor and smell, had q
small yolk, and did not keep well. The
flesh of the poultry fed this ration
however, was darker, more succulent
and tender than that of the fowls fec
the carbonaceous ration.
These experiments also show thai
the food has a marked effect on the
flavor of eggs. The general experience
of poultry raisers is that heterogeneous
rations are more profitable to feet
since they produce larger number o.
eggs. In view of the fact that such 6
ration, If too rich in nitrogen, may
produce eggs of unpleasant flavor, Il
would seem advisable to note the eff
feet of any ration fed upon flavor, ant
modify it, if the eggs are found to b.
inferior in this respect.-C. F. Lang

A good many farmers permit their
chicks to look out for themselves after
the first few weeks, where there ia
good farm range. They say it does the
chicks good to have to hunt their food
Doubtless this is true. But no matter
how well such chicks do or how
healthy they become, they will not de-
velop into early winter layers without
extra attention. The ordinary food a
fowl can pick up will develop the layer
about February. But If meat meal be
fed daily in considerable quantities,
the development will be so hurried
that the layer will be mature enough
to drop eggs by November-which
means a big difference in the money
yield of the fowl the first year.

1t seems to be the experience of all
breeders of all kinds of poultry that
the eggs from young fowls do not pro-
duce so strong chicks as do the eggs
from more mature birds. Therefore it
is best to select for breeders birds that
are at least in their second year of life.
A continuation of this kind of selec-
ton will most certainly give harder
race, which is needed in about every
breed we raise.

NEWS BROKEN TO HIM

BERLIN, July 9.-Although the United

recently denied to the correspondent of the
Associated Press here that he intends to
resign. the correspondent now learns from
a close personal friend of Mr.. White that
he will resign next year, upon reaching his
SEVENTEEN year.
Mr.. Whites decision to resign was taken
before the news of his sons suicide yes
terday reached him. but it is believed that
the sons death renders Mr.. Whites deci-
sion irrevocable.
Mr.. White is at present staying at Sass
Therefore he was personally inaccessible to
the correspondent of the Associated Press.
Horace White of Syracuse cabled to Sec
retary jackson early this morning the news
Of the death of Frederic D. White, but did
not say he had committed suicide. The
correspondent, after receiving details Of F.
D. Whites death, wired to Ambassador
White at 9 o'clock this morning. and has
just received reply from Mrs. White, say
ing:
Your telegram, fortunately. has not
reached Mr.. White. We have no details as
yet"
The correspondent understands that Mr..
White Is greatly shocked and nervously
depressed at the death of his son. Mrs
White, therefore, fearing the result upon
her husband, has thus far withheld the
news of their sons suicide. intending to
gently break it to Mr.. White.

There is an unwillingness to discuss the
matter publicly, and depreciation of the

Baron Won Kap-herr accept the explanation
he makes of the incident and resent any
intimation which would reflect upon his
personal conduct.
They say it was quite natural that
stranger in New York. particularly a for

such a course should subject him to I'M
