Can You Beat This Record?

A correspondent in Poultry Tribune
gives the following record: 81 have
Rhode Island Red pullet, Matched
the latter part of July, 1906, that COM
menced to lay on December Ist, 1906
and laid steadily all winter, till March
7, 1907, when she went broody and
was set. She cared for he trood, and
on April 27 began to lay again, and
laid thirty-three eggs in thirty-three
consecutive days and cal ed for her
brood all this time At the end Of
thirty-three days she left her chickens
and became broody, and is now Sit
ting again. The following is my egg
record for thirteen Rhode Island Red
pullets: December 90 eggs; January
I84; February 2Io; March z24. Two
Of them were sitting the forepart of
March,"
We have a large number Of breed RS
in Texas and the Southwest who are
raising Rhode Island Reds, and have
doubtless been keeping records Of
their laying. Poultry Life would be
glad to hear from them on this pop
ular breed. Tell us what you: birds

these eggs l started in the poultry
business.
My father was running a hotel at
that time and [ had quite a nice trade
with the travelling men, selling them
bantams for their children. The price
realized was one dollar and fifty cents

four years, in the meantime changing
from the common bantams to the
Black Breasted Red Game bantams,
and [ must say [ had a beautiful lot Of
these fowls.
Not having money enough to buy
poultry, and having carefully read
every poultry journal I could obtain,
l became infatuated with the Brown
Leghorn, and in the year 1880 I took
my buck-saw and sawed wood, secur-
ing dollar, with which | bought a
setting of Brown Leghorn eggs.
The eggs reached me in good shape
and I had one of my mothers best old
hens on a good nest waiting for them.
| placed the eggs under the hen and
watched her carefully every hour in the
her duties. Food and water were kept

when I looked at the hen on the nine

nest with a fringe Of little striped
heads all around her. | lost no time
getting to the house to tell my mother
of the beautiful sight, and when the
chicks were taken off the next day I
found every egg had Matched. [ felt
that I had a fortune in that lot OF
chicks, and by careful attention I
reared every one of them to maturity
One Of them, a pullet, grew up with a
crooked back, so it was worthless, but
the remaining birds were all good
ones.
I exhibited them at the county fair
that fall and won second prize on a
pair at Our fair and first prize at sew

Making of a Poultry Breeder.

A prominent Western breeder tells
of his start in the business, in the
Farm Stock Journal, as follows
In the year of 1876, then boy of 10
years, | owned my first chickens. A
neighbor lady had pair of old-fashion-
ed spangled, or rather splashed, ban
tams. At that time we called them
"speckled bantams." I fell in love
with these pretty fowls and worried the
life out of this lady until she sold me

increase was small, and in a cOmpll-
Gated substance like egg it was found
difficult to measure it accurately. lhe
slight alteration in the flavor Of the
egg and in the liquidness of the white
may be due to the increase in soda.
"To ascertain whether silica was de-
posted in the egg shell from the water
glass (sodium silicate) solution, sam
pies of shell and membrane from a
number of eggs were analyzed, and it
was found that the amount Of silica in
eggs preserved for three years amount
ed to nearly rs per cent as compared
with O.5 per cent in the shells Of fresh
eggs. It appears, then, that a slow
shell of the egg. The percentage Of
lime in the shells remains practically
constant. This deposition OF silica IN
the shells probably blocks up the pores
of the shells to some extent and rem
ders them less permeable."
''According to Professor Hendrix,
the s1rup-thick wafer glass, such as is
used after proper dllut1On for egg
preservation, is a sodium siliCate. AS
shown by his analyses it does not con-
tain sufficient soda to neutralize all the
acid present, and the solution is
strongly alkaline in reaction A
sample Of sirup-thick water glass con-
tanned 37-0I per cent silica, I6.48 per
cent SODA, and OLA per cent potash;
and solution prepared for preserving
eggs 2.16 per cent silica, I.2o per
cent soda, and O.OI per cent potash.
"On the whole, Professor Hendrick
regards the water glass solution as one
of the most popular and widely used
preservatives for eggs. Though this
method was introduced only compara-
lively recently, it has largely superced-
ed older methods, and also appears to
have led to much more frequent preSer-
vatlon Of eggs OH the small scale in
households and by small traders. The
method is simple and effective The
eggs are obtained when they are pIenti-
ful and cheap in spring and preserved
tor use during the winter months. In
such cases it is necessary to keep them
for about six months; but they may be
kept much longer, for in the expert
ments referred to above some were left
in solution of water glass as long as
tour years and were not decayed.
1T is assumed that eggs preserved
in water glass will be SO labeled when

Trouble In France.
We see in the Baltimore Sun of
Tuesday that there is trouble In
France; that the pedigree OF baby
and Winchester Is mixed up In 1t.
Now what will they do about 1t, we
wonder? 1t will be dreadful blow
to find that this babe that was sup
posed to have had the blue blood of
the CAROLS land Fairfaxes In its
veins. should prove to have Just the
ordinary sort that flows through
nine-tenths of the human race. We
thought at the time that it was a
queer thing that a scion of two lofty
families would be allowed to merge
its identity in that of another fam
lily. The mere fact that they would
do SO would be proof of rotten
blood, no matter what their rank in
life might be.
The little babe of a deceased rel
alive is generally cared for by those
who have more mouths to feed than
bread to put in them, and certainly
1.-The CAROLS of Carrollton and the
Fairfaxes would not have given up a
son of their family.
But the poor little babe, what OF
it? With its baby graces and inno-
cence keep it for the place that its
supposed pedigree gained? Who
knows? We believe in pedigree. We
believe The old-time saying that
what is born in the bone cannot be
taken out of the flesh" but the pedi-
gree we believe in is one of honest
men and virtuous women; that kind
OF blood with suitable environment
will turn out the real ladies end gem
tlemen in nine cases out of ten,
while the best of chances and the
bluest of blood will often turn out
the most contemplate degenerates
scoundrels and courtesans.
Milan, King of Servia, few years
ago, was one of the filthiest brutes
who ever lived; his son, who was
murdered, was but little better, and
Leopold, the present King of the Bel
gians, is living instance OF how
low man can sink. And the blue
blood Of Germany looks black since
the Harden searchlight has been
turned on it.
