Probably every reader OF this paper
has noticed in reading the Veterinary
columns in Farm Journals this advice:
"Clean up and disinfect" 1t Is 4
phrase that is used perhaps more than
any other in recommending measures
to prevent and eZterminate contagious
diseases. This being the case, it is
worth while knowing something about
what to use to accomplish this clean
ing Up and disinfecting. Of course
there are great many different dis
infectants on the market. Everyone
is familiar with carbolic acid, corro-
sive sublimate, formaldehyde, etc.
However, there is very serious OBJ
lection to these materials, for they are
rank, irritant poisons. Many people
refuse to have them around because
there is always more or less danger Of
a disastrous accident A mistake in
picking up the wrong bottle, or an i'm
proper use Of one of these Is apt to be
q very serious matter.
It Is really fortunate that there IL q

RIGHT FEEDING
AND PURE EGGS.
Here's An Important Suggestion BY
A Farmer With Real Ideas.

Declaring that there is neither No.
cessity tor cold storage or spoiled
ee91 ]. ]. Hartman q farmer and
poultry raiser OF Collingdale. Della
ware County. has come forth with q
new theory regarding the preserve
ion OF eggs for all domestic and
commercial purposes He AYERS that
by experimenting he has proved to
his satisfaction that by the hygenic
system OF om:mg and feeding chick.
ems he can produce eggs free from
impurities, which will mot decay nor,
spoil In a normal temperature
In proof OF his contention, Mr..
Hartman exhibited to egg dealers in
this city yesterday half dozen egga
which he declares had been under q
setting hem for three weeks, and
which to all appearances, had under
gone no chemical change. Mr.. Hart
man Boiled the eggs hard, after
which he cut them M half to show
tine interior. He says that he has
kept eggs from three to- four months
in the cellar at his home without W.
ing any preservatives or cold storage
apparatus, and then sold them q
fresh eggs and used them on his own
table. He says the eggs thus kept
showed mo faint and that by right
feeding he can produce 80 per cent
pure eggs.
Mr.. Hartman explains THAT what
he has done others can do. He holdS
that the decay Of eggs is due to i'm
purities due to bad feeding and the
i'll health OF the chickens. His OWN
poultry are kept ON plowed ground
and are fed corn, wheat, oats and
grain and provided with plenty of
oyster shells. His chicken house is
whitewashed every month, and pro-
vision is made to give his chickens
plenty of fresh water. Just care,
common sense, right feeding and
study of the nature Of the chickens
lis all that lis necessary, Mr.. Hartman
thinks to produce perfect eggs that
! will not decay, at least under normal
conditions, for several weeks and
can be kept for a long time at a tenn
perature of from SO to 60 degrees.
Hartman says he has been expert
menting for several years, and the
proof of the quality of the eggs be-
ing produced can be tested by feed
ing them to young chicks. If i'm
pure eggs from unclean and diseased
hens are boiled hard and fed to lit
tile chicks he says the chicks will be-
come sickly and die off like flies, but
if the eggs are pure the chicks Will
thrive ON them. He ads that uot OF
forty eggs OF his own production used
for setting purposes thirty eight
matched and he podnts with pride to
the eggs which he has Dad in is po-
session for month, and which, on
being opened could not be told from
freshly laid eggs. By Ibis careful
feeding system he adds that The
yolks of the eggs are Of one color.
there being no variation in the color"

Transfers GO TO
AID Of STRIKERS
Refuse to Move Loose Leaf Tobacco
From Factories-GirIs Pleaded
With Transfers.

Louisville, KY, April THE local
teamsters' union yesterday took a
hand in the strike of the stemmers
lof the American Tobacco Company
plants here and prevented the removal
OF large amount of loose leaf tobac-
CO from one of the factories. The
American Tobacco Company tried to-
day to move several dray loads of
tobacco from their Thirty-first and
Walnut street plant, presumably to
the depot for shipment to Richmond.
Va, when girl strikers stopped the
drays and entreated the drivers to re-
fuse to handle the goods, The driv-
ers promised to take their teams to
tre barns after handling the first load
and proceeded down town only to be
stopped five blocks from the factory
by representative of the transfers
union who ordered the drays returned
with the loads to the tobacco facto-
ries.
There were several disturbances in
the tobacco district during the night,
but no serious trouble.
