HOT WEATHER CARE OF EGGS
Fourteen Excellent Rules Given by
United States Agricultural 5ulle-
tin for Poultry Raiser.

The following are among the re-
quisities mentioned by a United States
agricultural bulletin to the placing of
eggs on the market in proper condi-
ton: -.
l. Keeping hens that produce not
only a goodly number Of eggs. but
eggs of moderately large size weigh
ing two ounces each on an average),
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode
Island Reds. Orpingtons and Leghorns
or Minorcss that are used on egg
farms are varieties that may be ex-
pected to do this.
2 Good housing. regular feeding
and watering. and, above all, clean.
dry nests.
3. Daily gathering of eggs. and
when the temperature is above 80 de-
grees, gathering twice a day.
4. The combining of all broody hens
as soon as discovered.
5. The rejection as doubtful Of all
eggs found in a nest that was not Wis
tied the previous day. Such eggs
should be used at home, where each
may be broken separately.
6. The placing of all summer eggs.
as soon as gathered. in the coolest
place available.
Z. The prevention at all times OF
moisture in any form coming in con-
tact with the eggshells.
8. The disposal of young cockrels
before they begin to annoy the hens.
Also the selling or combining Of old
male birds from the time Matching is
over until cool weather in fall
g. The using Of cracked and dirty
as well as small eggs at home Such
eggs. II consumed when fresh, are
perfectly wholesome, but when mar.
keted are Disseminated against and
are likely to become an entire loss.
TO- The marketing Of all eggs at
least once a week. and oftener when
convenience allows.
II. Keep eggs as cool and dry as
possible while on the way to town
and while in country stores.
II. Keeping eggs away from musty
cellars or bad odors
10. The use Of strong, clean cases
and good filters.
H. The shipping Of eggs to the anal
market at least once week and as
much oftener as possible.

DELIGHTFUL DRINKS
HIHTs ABOUT MAKING THEM FOB
HOT WEATHER.
Delicious old-Fashioned SylIsbub In
Which the Juice OF the Grape
and That Of the Cow are
United.

When July has come. and cows are
standing knee deep amid the lush
grass. all starred with buttercups. the
inind, aweary OF stale and solid winter
fare, turns with fresh pleasure to the
thoughts of Arcadian banquetings OF
Tore, when the unsophisticated Eng
fish cook fed her guests on junkets.
hiummeries, Syllabus, and other sweet
country things
The syllabub is the aristoerat OF the
Hairy. and creates delight by wedding
The juice of the grape TO the juice OF
the COW.
The genuine way TO make a syllabub
Us to put four ounces of sugar. the rind
of half lemon. pint of sweet wine.
halt pint of sherry. and grated nut
meg in bowl and stir until the sugar
lis dissolved Then take IL to the COW
house at milking time. place it under
the COW and milk into IL until the milk
'froths high in the bowl.
The addition of a spoonful Of cream
I'm each glass is an improvement. In
country districts cider is often used in
stead IF wine. but with the cider a
dash OF brandy is an improvement.
Here is another recipe from an old
fashioned book Take two large cups
Gf cream and one of white wine. Crate
the rind of a lemon into il, add the
whites of three eggs, and sweeten to
taste. Whisk 1t and take off the froth
as II rises and put IT into glasses.
This is delicious in Its way, but the
true syllabub should come straight
from the dairy to the supper table. and
after n warm day there is no more adj
mirable evening restorative,
A birthday syllabub" Is luxurious.
Take pint of port and one of sherry.
mix them with half pint of brandy
and a grated nutmeg, squeeze and
strain the juice Of two lemons into
large bowl over half a pound of loaf
sugar Stir In the wine and brandy.
and then away to the dairy with It.
and call upon the COW for two quarts
of its richest milk.
Even thus diluted II is a fairly
heady mixture. and 1t Is perhaps a
merciful dispensation that birthdays
such as this come but once year.
A simple syllabub for young people
may be made by whisking a pint OF
cream and the whites of three eggs to-
gether. and adding the juice Of a
lemon and little lemon flavoring, Put
Just a little wine In each glass and add
the whip It is not real syllabub. but
It is a pleasant addition to the refresh
ments at young peoples party.--Lon-

experiment station has been very
successful in using the following lay
ing ration for Leghorns and Plymouth
Rocks:
For mixed grains ten pounds wheat,
ten pounds corn. FIVE pounds oats For
dry mash six pounds shorts. three
pounds bran, six pounds corn meal,
FIVE pounds beef scrap, one pound al
falfa meal These mixtures seem to
fulfill nearly every requirement that
a proper ration could call for. They
have a nutritive ratio of one to four
and are best suited to fowls that are
confined and have little or no chance
to obtain food on the range.
A very practical way TO feed t is
to put % pounds grain In a bucket
and 25 pounds mash in a hopper. The
feed in these two vessels should dis
appear at the same time, T. e.. the
grain should last as long as the mash.
The fowls viii naturally eat more
grain than they will the dry mash, so
ii is sometimes necessary to cut down
on the grain in order to make them
consume the other. The grain should
be few scattered in the litter and or
dinarily morning and night will be
enough.

mash is shown in the cut The cover
