There is ample justification for the
claim by the Chicago Record Herald
that its readers enjoy every day in
the week. Sundays incllded, a news
service that is without parable in range
and completeness. Ia addition TO the
independent news facilities Of the

the complete news service of abe New

is is considered that it, news columns
are supplemented by all the special

Mower County transcript., 1904-05-11
Double E9gs.

Hens cannot lay two perfect eggs in
one day because the hens body is not
capable of releasing sufficient carbo-
nate of lime to furnish two perfect
shells. The first growth of the egg in
the hen is the yolk. When this reaches
maturity it drops into long membra-
nous canal, known as the oviduct. AS
it travels through this canal it receives
a coating Of albumen, which is the
white of the egg. AS it approaches the
mouth Of the oviduct it receives coat
ing of lime, which constitutes the shell.
With full laying hen this operation
occurs only every twenty-four hours.
Once In awhile, however, due probably
to stimulation and overfeeding, the
ova, or yolks, are produced so rapidly
that two of them drop into the oviduct
together. These ova travel together
along the passage and receive the white
separately, but become inclosed in one
shell, and when laid are commonly
known as double yolked eggs. Such an
egg is in reality a double egg, the white
being duplicated as we'll as the yolk.

Sensitive Erxs.

!. IAN egg in the process Of Matching is
remarkably sensitive to VIBRATION, says
an expert in the breeding Of fowls in
the Poultry Record. .''The rumble of
train or the passage of a wagon along
the street will spoil a whole incubator
full: of eggs If the faintest. yibratory
wave. reaches the apparatus Even
such little thing as the banging of "a
door in some other. part of the house
will destroy the chances Of Matching
out brood where care has not been
taken to place the incubator beyond

A Quartet of Remedies Sent to Boy
er-Take Your Choice.
NJ. K. Boyer, one Of the editors Of the
American Poultry Journal, asked a
number Of poultrymen:
"What do you consider the simplest
and most effective remedy for colds in
fowls?" Following are a few of the
answers received:
D. G. Adams & Son, New Haven,
Conn.,: Scoop the afflicted bird and
drop two drops of coal oil above each
nostril; then give teaspoonful of ep-
som salts in half pint Of water. This
proves sure cure with U.S."
J. J. Stage, Spokane, WASH: II have
cured several in three days time that
had badly swelled heads. One hen was
70 bad that she could not see to eat.
I anointed the head and throat thor
oughly with standard liniment twice
a day."
Fl. Fuller, Clarinda, Ia: 81 can safe
ly say there is nothing on earth to
equal onions as a remedy for colds in
poultry. Ii you have valuable bird
put her in moderate warm, dry pen,
grease her head we'll with bacon fat
and work some in the roof of the
mouth. See that the opening there is
clear of mucus. Feed balls of meal.
with a good sound strong onion
chopped in it. The bird will soon re-
cover. Onions are good preventive Of
colds. For the past twenty-five years
I have used no other remedy, and l
have bred and reared as large num-
Der as any man know off,"
Nathan B. Hartford, Watertown,
Mass: For colds in fowls have used
with very good results, where the ILL
ness is general or when not having op-
portunity to treat individuals, a small
amount of pine tar placed upon few
shavings and an old iron dish. This
set on fire at night while the fowls
were on the roost. l shut the doors
and windows closely for ten to fifteen
minutes and in most cases effected a
cure. Be sure to get the pure pine and
not coal tar for this purpose. Repeat
OuCc OF Twice IL Tie low is are Dduly
affected. I have found an excellent
remedy in more advanced cases and
especially where there has been dis
charge from nostril. swollen eyes. ETC.,
in the use Of peroxide of hydrogen. I
place the fowl under left arm and
with the aid of an oil can inject into
the nostrl few drops Of this prepa-
ration, using care 10 wipe with small
piece of cloth any of the mucus which
will soon appear on eye and nostril.
After this repeat the dose and place
the treated fowl in pen away from
others. This is also a quick relief for
canker in the throat, but care must be
taken not to allow too much to enter
the windpipe, as the hydrogen causes
the accumulation to foment and will
strangle the fowl. Care must he taken
also to cleanse the hands and burn the
cloth used OH sick birds to prevent the
spread of this disease. Aconite or
spongia used in the drinking water is
also beneficial, bnt the first two are
very effective and, think, sure cure
for colds"
