The Comb of the Brown Leahorn.

The Comb of the Brown Leghorn.
The comb of the Brown Leghorn has
been worked with great deal until
now it is produced in two forms, the
rose comb and the single comb. In
fairly warm climates it is merely a
question of fancy whether one shall
rear a breed with single combs or
rose combs. But in cold climates it
is far otherwise. When a bird has
her comb frozen her value as an egg
producer is destroyed. The single
comb freezes easily, because it is
large, thin and lop-ed over. This
seems to produce a slow circulation
of blood, and this comb easily freezes,
and the frozen part drops off. The
rose comb is compact to the head and
the circulation of blood is facilitated
thereby. Moreover, when the hen
sleeps her comb is entirely hidden I'M
der her feathers instead of part of it
being left outside.

Good and Bad EuuS,

A reader asks us for some way to
tell good eggs from bad ones. The
method being followed in the CONNER
cial world is the one that we recon-
mend and the only one that we believe
suitable to farm work. This is the
Gambling process. Take a box and
place in it lamp, making hole
about the size Of an egg. In this box
put light, so placing the light that
the CLEAN will stream out of the hole
mentioned. The Gambling is done by
taking this box into the gloomiest part
of the room and passing the eggs be-
tween the opening in the box and the
eye. A good strong light will render
the egg transparent or translucent. If
an electric light can be obtained, so
much the better, as the inside Of the
egg will be that much more illumi-
mated. The stronger the light the bet
ter can one see what is inside the egg.
The good eggs will show a translucent
liquid. An egg that has begun to
undergo the changes noticed in incuba-
ton will be cloudy at first and later
will show veins. Later it will show
dark clots at certain points, as the
physical system of the unborn chick
develops. For common use, it is nee
essary only to find out the clear eggs
from the cloudy ones. The cloudy
ones are not fresh, while the others
are if they have not been undergoing
incubation. If the eggs are in an in
cubator or under a hen and have been
there some days, the fertile eggs will
be showing a cloud or streaks. The in
fertile eggs will still be clear and
should be taken out and afterwards
cooked as food for the young chicks.
