Saving Time in Handling Eggs.

We wish to suggest to the readers
Of The Ohio Farmer our method of
preparing for the disposal Of the ex-
ira produce Of eggs. We have two
homemade crates, each holding fifteen
dozen, the'two together similar in size
and form to a thirty dozen crate,
which the grocerymen use for ship
ping AS the eggs are gathered each
day, they are put into the crates and
are counted and ready for disposal
without further handling. We are
10th to think of the time formerly
used in recounting eggs for the huck-
ster, SO we pass this on. The ex-
pense for filters is about ten cents

Satisfactory Methods of Rearing
Chicks.

A poultryman, writing to the Amerl-
can Agriculturlst, gives his method
with chicks as follows:
AS to incubatOrs or hens, | would
say, for the early chicks and early
spring Matching, we must rely on the
incubator, for at that season very few
hens become broody, and at that time
it is a pleasure to operate the IN
cubator thing that cannot be done
as the season grows warmer unless
we run Our incubatOrs IN cellars made
for that purpose, and the majority of
the poultry raisers have not got them.
So from the middle to the latter
part of the Matching season | prefer
the hen. | think in May or June the
hen will give little higher per cent
Of hatch, and if five or Six hens are
set at once we have, to say the least,
so or 90 chickens to take off, put IN
the brooders and turn the hens back
to the laying yard.
l have a room I2xI4 feet, which |
use for nothing else but sitting hens.
When hen becomes broody | fix a
nest for her, put in the eggs, then
at night carry biddy to her new nest,
and after sitting on the nest a night
I rarely have her leave. [ sometimes
have as many as IS to 80 hens lined

Raising Guinea Fowls.

We have at different times quoted
from exchanges, articles showing that
there was good profit in raising gum
cas-. There are some objections to
them, they are extremely noisy, they
fly SO that it as easy to fence in a
mocking bird as a guinea, and they
will not thrive in confinement Still
if you can overcome these objections
there is no doubt good profit in these
fowls. A correspondent Of the Amer
lean Agriculturist says:
[ find guinea fowls a very lmpor-
tant help on the farm in giving the
alarm when crows, hawks, strange
dogs, cats or foxes appear. They
will set up a great racket, and you
may be on the lookout for the in
truder. My experience with them
covers a period Of only three years,
using the Pearl variety only I start
ed with 33 guinea eggs, and Matched
only II chicks, raising but seven OF
them to maturity. I find them diff
cult to raise, being very tender when
Matched. The best mother for them
is a hen turkey, and the next best a
common hen rather than a guinea
hen. They must not be allowed to
run in wet grass when young, or III
fact, wander much from the mother
They are naturally wild, and that is
the reason they wander away and get
lost in grass and weeds SO they must
be accustomed to their mothers voice
before allowed free range.
I was fortunate in having secured
very good stock, and have exhibited
them at a number Of fairs with the
best success. I have had no expert
ence in marketing them, but find
them excelle1G for our own table use,
as they have a slightly gamey taste,
and are juicy and tender. I have been
informed that one should keep them
in pairs, the same as pigeons, but
this is not so. I have kept four fe-
males with one male with best Of re-
suits and I know of no reason for not
mating more hens with one male
if necessary If [ were going to keep
many, I would house them apart
from other poultry.
They begin to lay May I to IS, and
lay continually till September, some
times later. They will not lay well
in confinement, but are extra good
layers when on range. They seldom
lay with other poultry in the hen
house, liking to steal away in grass
and weeds, preferring burdock leaves
for nests if they can find them l
found four nests in the last year with
"a to 81 eggs in each. AS soon as as
one disturbs the nest the hen will
steal another, thereforeI do not take
away more than one Or two eggs at
a time unless I wish them 70 lind
another nest They have no use for a
china egg.

ditions that are proving disastrous to
other animals. However, one can
never expect the best results from his
flock unless he pays particular atten-
ton to his breeding stock, and this
means a wise selection of breeders
both male and female, and judicious
care of them through the winter.
SKINNED Milk-It looks as if farm
ers have not generally discovered
what a valuable poultry food they
have in skinned milk, both for fat
tenlng and for egg production. 1t is
considered SO important in growing
pigs and calves that its use in feeding
fowls has scarcely been thought Of
on many farms in the West. In the
eastern states, where there is an abun-
dance of skinned milk, it is COM
ing to be regarded as a very valu
able egg producer, and it is even
claimed that it is worth fifty per-
cent. more fed to poultry than to
pigs and calves. There is one estab-
lishment in Chicago that last year
prepared $4,000 range-raised chick
ems for the market known as the
milkfed chickens. 1t has come to
be big industry, catering to the
demand tor rOasters and fryers that
have been fattened on skinned milk.
The flesh is so superior that the
supply can not keep up with the
demand. People who will have only
the best and are able to supply their
wants do not hesitate at teh high
prices that prevail for these milk
feds. So far as experiment stations
have tested it they are satisfied as
to the value of skinned milk for
egg production. Why not do a little
experimenting on the farm in it's use?
Few things are relished by little
chicks more than a milk curd It
is better than any beef scraps or beef
meal and is not SO expensive
Crows.-Now begins the yearly fuss
with the crows. They are at their
depredations among the young hocks.
1t used to be thought that the hawks
were the worst enemies Of the poultry
industry; but one old crow can give
the poultryman or the farmer more
trouble than a dozen hawks. For cum
ming, persistent, destructive deviltry
a crow can give a hawk mile of a
start and easily beat him. He knows
enough to keep beyond the range of
gun. The only way have found to
rout him is to put out poisoned eggs.
Stick a needle into an egg and break
the shell enough to receive the point
of a small knife blade Insert as
much strychnine as will remain on
the point of the blade (if it is a very
small one), stir it into the egg, cover
the hole by sticking on piece Of pa
per, and put the egg out where Mr..
Crow is sure to find it. His keen appe-
tite for eggs will be his undoing.

Poultry Notes.

"A poultryman, writing to the Ohio
Farmer, touches upon many different
subjects of interest to those who have
Chickens
Possibly his idea about crows may
account for many losses of small
chicks. We know that one year they
took quite a number from a yard at
some distance from the house. Late
ly we have had khe young chicks
much nearer to the house, we have
lost some by hawks after thev were
large enough to go farther away from
the house. The Ohio Farmer article
is as follows:.
Protecting Outdoor Brooders. -
When the wind is blowing it is diff
cult to keep the heat up in an out
door brooder Throw an old piece of
carpet or oilcloth over the brooder on
the side On which the wind is blowing,
and it will serve effectually as break
and will save OIL
Brooder Chicks.-I have never un-
derstood why people should have
heavy losses Of chicks in brooders. If
the brOOders are constructed upon any
sort Of reasonable principle, and aver
age common sense is exercised in op-
Grating them, there should be no Sc
~lous trouble in rearing chickens in
them. [ find that the one thing that
has to be guarded against more than
any other is loss from sudden storms
BroOder chicks are prone to wander
far away from their little houses, and
they do not hurry back as promptly
in danger as do those that have moth
er hens in coops. The only safety is
in driving them in from their range
at the approach of a sorm and shut
ting them up. If this is not done, Of
ten they will stay out until it is too
late for them to get back and they
are drowned With the exception Of
this one point brooders excel hens in
rearing chickens After a few expert
ences they learn to hurry in from
threatening storms.
Infertile Eggs.-There is a wide
spread complaint all over the country
Of the infertility of eggs for hatching
The editor of Farm Rou1try says that
reports at his office indicate that this
season is exceptionally bad in this re-
spect The cold weather may have
something to do with it, but it is hard
to say just where the trouble is. This
spring is proving to be an exceeding
ly destructive one on all kinds of
young stock, lambs and pigs suffer-
ing in an unusual degree, and it may
be that fowls are affected by the con-
