Excessive Profit. in Eos Handling.

@~svU FToHes III E00 'AnouHS
AS yet, the handling of eggs for COM
mercial purposes has not been reduced
to science. The great storage houses
in the big cities have plants that are
properly equipped for the landing Of
large quantities Of eggs. but they are
few In comparison with the numerous
small plants scattered here and there
throughout the country. Now and
then we Lear of small plants being
started in small places for the storing
Of eggs to the time Of big prices, and
we are informed that the men behind
the enterprise expect to make rs per
cent profit on their operations. This
Of itself shows the chaotic state in
which the egg-handling industry is at
the present time. When the general
handling of eggs is reduced to proper
system. 1t will not be possible for the
storers to make any such profits. Pro-
fits like those come out Of the pockets
of the farmers or out Of the pockets
Of the consumers of eggs. 1t is a
method Of oppression that we have not
yet been able to abolish. But the time
is coming when farmers and the con-
sumers Of farm products will be wise
enough to make sure that the men that
play the part Of middlemen get only
fair profit for their part Of the work.
We will then have storage plants in
which the capital invested will earn
but five or six per cent and the men
that take care of those plants get only
fair and Reasonable salaries. The
farmer will then get little more for
his eggs than he does now and the
consumer will pay q little less for
them.

Feeding Fowls.

Chas. S. Greene, in an address al
Minnesota Farmers Institute, said:
When you have selected the breed you
want, and have them properly housed,
the next question Is how to keep them
healthy and get the most profit with
the least expenditure for feed and
labor, as few of US can find pleasure
enough in the business to pay its run.
ming expenses. There are probably
no two men who adopt precisely the
same methods Of feeding, and yet each
may have equally good success, SO
that there can be no set rules laid
down to be followed under all circu m
stances and conditions. A person
must study the composition OF feels
know what their nutritiye value is,
and the effects they produce when fed
to stock under varying conditions.
Again. the large breeds require quite
different treatment from that given
the smaller ones. Feed that is right
for Leghorns would be liable to make
Plymouth Rocks too fat, II fed in the
same way.
The manner and time of feeding is
of nearly as much importance as che
feed itself. We always adopt a resu-
lar system of feeding. and only change
with the seasons of the year. or when
conditions absolutely require 1t. We
have known a change of feed, and the
time of feeding it, to make differ
ence, with our own flock of Leghorns.

side Of two weeks. Too much stress
cannet be laid on regularity in feed
ing. and the adherence to a steady
system, only changing when there II
good reason for SO doing. All sott
feed should be fed on wide boards or in
troughs which are kept clean. and the
fowls should never be allowed to hud-
die together any more than Is neces-
sary. Exercise Is of prime importarc ce
when trying to produce eggs during
the winter months. BY keeping the
floor Of the house Uttered with dry
straw. char or leaves. and scattering
the whole feed into it. the fowls get
all the exercise they need.
