DIRTY EGGS ON THE FARM.

While there are few egg produc-
ers who take the best of care of their
product, the average farmer considers
the eggs produced on the farm a by
product and makes very little provis-
ion for their care, aside from gather
ing them. A large loss is caused by
ditr yeggs, the number being enormous
and according to the estimate Of Sec
rotary Wilson of the department of
agriculture this money loss to the
farmers in the United States amount
ing to about $5,000,000 annually.
This loss is very largely brought
about by not gathering the eggs often
enough. In wet weather more dirty
eggs are found than at any other time.
This Is caused by the fact that the
hens feet are often covered with mud
or other filth. and in going on the nest
to lay she soils the eggs already in the
nest.
An insufficient number Of nests is
often the cause of many Of the dirty
eggs found. Eggs are laid ON the
ground and around the hay and straw
stacks, and becoming stained, are
classed as "dirties." Again, when too
many eggs are allowed to remain in a
nest some are broken and many of the
others become smeared with broken
yolks. This condition is often brought
about by allowing the brooding hens
to use the same nests with the layers.
On farm where one nest to every
four hens is provideI and the nests are
kept clean and well bedded, it is found
that very few dirty eggs are produced.
After gathering the eggs, care should
be taken not to put them where they
win become heated, or near oil, onions,
or other vegetables, as they readily
absorb odors.
Although dirty eggs may be perfect
" fresh, they invariably sell as sec
onds,s and when but a few dirty eggs
are mixed with an otherwise fresh,
clean lot. they materially decrease the
price of the clean eggs.

Getting Hid Of IL.

Some years ago it began to dawn
upon us that we were acquiring one.
II took more cloth to make our clothes
and the tailor began talking about
raising the price from 81 to s1s. Old
articles of wearing apparel that used
to button about us comfortably and
loosely so that we could turn around
in them and speak to some gentleman
behind us refused to negotiate meet

running us for alderman. That's an

mistaking its significance

Hampden Guardian: Hon. L. b.
Hanna jumped right into the harness
on the opening Of the sixty second
congress. He, with Mr.. Helgesen, al
so of this state, have introduced a
measure for the repeal OF the reel
procity pact. Although his opponents
would have the people OF the state
think otherwise, Mr.. Hanna is always
trying to help the state to the best of
his ability, and if he will do all this
when away, how much better will he
do it when right in our midst. The
state needs man like Mr.. Hanna as
its chief executive and we see no reas-
on why he should not be our next gov
ernor.
