TIMELY TOPICS

Within the past fortnight | have
received several inquiries from Ranch
readers concerning the color of the
eggs of various breeds and varieties.
The White Orpington was the sub
ject of several of these questions and,
wishing to be certain of answering
correctly, | consulted Mr.. j. f. Glib
son, of Kent, who has a nice lot of
White Orps direct from Cooks yards;
and he informs me that the eggs of
that variety are of varying shades of
cream color. with quite range from
the lightest to the darkest. The eggs
of the Rhode Island Red we're also
a subject of inquiries. Here again
we have eggs lacking in uniformity of
color. The eggs of pure bred Rhode

lot will show some eggs of a faint
cream or flesh tint, but seldom of a
depth sufficient to be casually observ-
ed. The eggs of the Ancona are similar
to those of the White Leghorn, but
the Brown Leghorn shows decided
increase in the number of tinted eggs
laid and in the depth of tint.

AS soon as possible the young
cockerels should be separated from the
pullets and if any of them are to be
reserved as breeding cockerels there
should be another segregation and
those intended for the market as
broilers fed fattening ration. Wet
mash and skim milk makes the best
flesh forming diet and though costing
more than a dry grain ration it more
than makes up for that by the in.
creasing weight. The young pullets
should be fed for growth, that is,
bone and frame first and only one
moist mash feed per day should be
given them and that should be mostly
rolled oats and bran with but little
corn meal. Oats, wheat, barley and
corn form the best growing ration as
distinguished from a fattening ration.

The low price of distillate seven
cents per gallon, o. b., Seattle
should encourage every poultry raiser
to spray his premises literally No
better spray can be used against mites
than the distillate, applied with as
much force as possible to all the
cracks in the walls, roofs and roosting
platforms. 1t is sure death to all the
vermin it touches. but to make a
dead certainty of the job it should be
repeated three or four days later,
when the nits that escaped the first
spray will surely be caught by the
second dose before they have done
much towards reproduction. The
distillate should be copiously applied
and not one crack or joint overlook
ed. Even the chicken raiser on a
very small scale can afford to order
so gallon barrel of the fluid and will
find that he has plenty of use for it.
Another point in favor of distillate is
that it may be used literally around
the roosts and nests without messing
up the fowls as so many disinfectants
do.

Island Reds are. sometimes of quite a
light cream color, but for the most
part they are quite deep in color, of
reddish tinge rather than the brown
of the Plymouth Rock.
The beginner in the poultry bust
ness is apt to think that he has had a
lemon handed him when he finds
the Matching eggs, for which he has
paid fancy price to some noted
breeder, sadly lacking in unifo1 nifty
of color and, quite frequently, in
shape and size as we'll. I paid stiff
price for the first Rhode Island Red
eggs ever bought and was far from
satisfied | when unpacked them and
found them of all shades from a light
cream to a deep brick red, to say
nothing of great variety in shape
and size.
There's no question but that a case
Of eggs uniform in color and size
makes finer appearance than a mix
ture of all sizes and colors does; and
the dealer prefers them and so does
the consumer, and yet they won t
pay us a sou more for them. This
being the case, the sensible course for
the producer to pursue is to devote
his efforts to increased production
first of all and later, when the markets
of the Northwest show some indica-
tion OF a proper appreciation Of
uniformity of size and color, it will
be time enough for us to worry about
color and size. How foolish it would
be for the producer, under the present
conditions, to discard very pro-
ductive hen because her egg is some
what below the average size, retaining
in her stead less productive hen
which lays a larger egg when both
these eggs bring just the same price
in the Portland or Seattle maj kets.
| am here abiding to the egg rancher,
the producer Of market eggs and not
to the breeder from whom he obtains
his stock. The latter must keep as
far in advance of local conditions as
he possibly can and strive for perfec-
ton though absolute perfection may
never be attained.
10 get back to the subject of egg
colors; it may be stated that even the
varieties popularity supposed to lay a
uniformly white egg do as a matter
of fact show some tinting in their
product. The only focks that have
ever known to lay eggs uniformly of
a dead white color were of a variety
now almost extinct, the White Faced
Black Spanish. Their eggs we're of a
whiteness almost ghostly and in the
case of a pen of ID of them whose eggs
had opportunity to examine through
out whole season | never saw a tint
ed egg of their production. | believe
that another black feathered variety,
the Black MinOrca, comes next to the
Black Spanish in the uniform white
ness of their eggs. The White Leg
horns lay eggs which for all practical
purposes may be described as dead
white, but close scrutiny of a case a
