POULTRY FOR EGG PRODUCTION.
Profitable When Conditions Not FoV'
orable for Market Raising.


Among the farm raisers OF poultry
there is a tendency to rely almost
solely for profits from poultry upon
the sale of eggs, because they Ieei
that they cannot devote the attentioh
to the raising of chickens that is nee
essary and because of the furtner
fact that there is scarcely commu-
nity in the country where the supply
of eggs is fully up to the demand.
This is probably the wiser course
where there is not one person ABOUT
the farm who can give his or her at
tention to the chickens and poultry
generally. Where eggs are made
speciality, either on the farm or III
an established poultry yard, they are
produced daily and turned into money
as soon as they can be taken to mar
ket. but the returns from fowls are
not so immediate as the chicks re-
ouire some time for growth, and then
there is the item of feeding expense
and the loss by diseases, ETC., to be
reckoned with, all of which make 1t
preferable to deal exclusively in eggs
unless there are proper facilities for
handling, raising and marketing the
fowls. Eggs that eSe known to be
fresh are always iri demand at prices
considerably aboys those which can
not rSiied upon, and when the
poultr$ist is close to market and can
dispose of his product without the aid
of commission men it pays to keep
poultry Tor the eggs they produce.
However, no one can expect the best
of results from badly kept or half
kept poultry. Whether eggs are the
specially or fowls are the speciality
complete success depends upon the
management Of the fowls and the at
tention given them.

Fishiness in Butter.

What butter experts call flshiness
in butter is a flavor somewhat re-
semhlingr tha~ pattshar odor of her
ring and 1t is surprising what
quantity of it we have at various
times on the enver market The
compound responsible for this odor
IS known to chemists, as it is has
been separated and studied the same
as other compounds found in but
ter. A number of things seem cap
able of producing flshiness, but the
principle agents are bacteria. These
flavors are often traceable to rusty
cans. It is a well-known fact that
the tin utensils used for milk and
dairy products are not made of pure
tin, but Of iron coated with tin and
unless one purchases what Is known
as the xxx or xxx quality he Is
bound to have WORKOUT utensils In
course Of time.-Field and Farm.

Dressing capons for Market.

To dress capons be sure and not kill
them until the crops are empty and
that they are fat. A thin capon is not
as good as an ordinary chicken, be-
cause if not large or proper capon
they are not wanted for any purpose.
Leave the feathers on the neck from
the head down two-thirds of the way
to the shoulders as well as on the two
first joints of the wings, on the tail
and half way I'D the back. Leave the
feathers on the legs from the Knee
joint two-thirds up to the hips. All
the remainder Of the feathers come
off. Be careful and keep the capon
clean, Wrap paper around the head.
Appearances add to the sale and OF
course to the price as we'll.

2. A faucet in the bottom allows
the water to be drawn off and re-
placed with warm water without
handling the bottles, thereby saving
time and labor.
8. A rack CD holds the bottles
(TJ) In place; without this rack the
bottles tip over easily In the water
when the whey has been emptied.
4. The bottles have large top
and straight sides, SO that the curd
can be more easily removed. The
bottles are more easily cleaned ON
this account.
S. The strainer (S) in the top
enables the operator to place the
bottles In an inclined position to let
the whey drain out. The whey can
thus be more quickly and completely
removed.

Measuring Corn in the Crib.

/ To measure corn find number of
cubic feet in crib, then multiply by
9 and divide by 20, which gives the
amount In bushels. To determine
amount of shelled corn to be OBJ
tained from crib Of corn In ear, find
cubic feet of corn, divide by two and
the product will be the number OF
bushels of shelled corn, as two cubic
feet of corn, if"sound and dry, will
produce one bushel Of shelled corn.
To find the number of bushels or
apples, potatoes, etc., In a bin, null
tiply the length,s breadth and thick
ness together and this product by B,
and point off one figure in the pro-
duct for decimals.

TESTING Incubator EGGS.

In the absence of an egg tester,
which is usually supplied with an In
cubator, simple. tester may be mace
by using an ordinary lamp. The hight
ed lamp should be set in a box in
dark room; the side of the box
should be held in front OF the eye.
Eggs which are fertile and contain
live germs show, in seven or eight
days of incubation, a black spot with
spider-like legs radiating from it. The
stronger this appears the stronger will
be the chicken. Eggs which are clear
or contain no spot are infertile or
dead, and should be thrown out.

Tuberculosis in Fowls.

The disease exists extensively
among many large poultry ranches,
but seldom kills enough fowls at any
one time to excite the alarm OF the
owner. It's existence in a flock con-
stitutes steady drain, but it fails to
attract much attention, because the
losses are so evenly distributed in
point of time.
In most cases the liver is affected.

Feeding the Fowls Skim Milk.

Sweet skim milk or milk Of any
kind I cannot be put to better use
than to be fed to the growing chicks.
Never feed the young or growing
chicks Stops or sloppy food of any
kind. Nothing is more injurious.
The young and growing chicks must
have grit, of some kind provided for
them. Where there is plenty or
good, sharp sand, coarse gravel and
material of this kind, specially pre-
pared grit need not be given TO-
them. A little small charcoal bro7
ken, as fine as a grain Of wheat is all
ways Of advantage both for young
and old. :

Stamping Weight on Cheese.

The practice Of, stamping the weight
of cheese soon after it comes from
the press is one way of getting ahead
of the consumer, In this dry climate
when a cheese is weighed right from
the press, and again two weeks later
O shrinkage OF from ten to fifteen
per cent. will usually be discovered.
Merchants like to handle cheese
stamped with the weight, when they
can sell the whole cheese to, one sue
toner for it saves weighing and also
covers any loss in shrinkage while
the cheese has been kept in the store.
The consumer, however, gets the worst
Of the deal.
