chute is provided with two strong
iron hooks, which are sharpened SO
as to engage the bottom of the wag
on bed and prevent slipping after the
animal starts upward With such an
arrangement there is no difficulty in
building chute of ample strength
because the question OF weight has
relatively little Importance. The chute
can be hooked on behind the wagon
and hauled to any part of the farm.

Egg Room in a Large Eastern Cold
Storage Plant.

stored, the growth will be checked,
eggs are warmed up.
Speaking generally, the cold-storage
egg, while not unWhOlesome, is in
ferior in flavor and strength of white
to a fresh egg The cold-storage egg
can be very nearly duplicated in gross
appearance and quality by allowing
egsg to stand for three or four weeks
in a dry room. Cold-storage eggs,
when in case lots, can be told by the
GAMBLER because of the uniform shrink
age, the presence Of mold on cracked
eggs, and perhaps, the occasional
presence of certain kinds of spot rots
peculiar to storage stock; but the alb
solute detection Of a single cold
storage egg by Gambling is, so far as
the writer knows, impossible.
With the present prevailing custom
Of holding fall eggs without storage
facilities, it is frequently true that
eggs placed in cold storage In April
are superior to current fall and early
winter receipts. Cold-storage eggs are
usually sold wholesale as cold-storage
goods, but are retailed simply as
eggs"
The fall eggs offered to the con-
sumner cover every imaginable varia-
ton in quality, and the poorest ones
sold may or may not be cold-storage
stock.
Occasional articles have been print
ed calling attention to the fact that
the cold-stOrage men were reaping
vast profits which rightfully belonged
to the farmer, and advising the farmer
to send his own eggs to the storage
house or to preserve them by other
means. AS matter of fact, the cold
storage of eggs has not of late years
been particularly profitable, there hav-
ing been severe losses during several
seasons. Even were the profits of egg
storing many times greater than they
unwise, for the storing, removing and
selling of the farmers individual case
of eggs would eat up ali possible
profit
When eggs in the hands OF large
operators are properly preserved in
cold storage, the best and most eff
cient methods known are in reality at
the farmers service. Because of the
severe competition that prevails in
egg storing, the farmer is paid all the
increase in price which the business
will stand. A comparison of the sum
meT prices Of eggs now with summer
prices before days of cold storage will
substantiate the truth of this state
ment

Pumpkins for Hogs and Cows.

1t is surprising that more pumpkins
are not fed to pigs and COWS which
have access to the alfalfa pasture in
the fall. For a brood SOW and shoats,
and even for fattening hogs, ration
of pumpkins will give as good results
as though they were cooked.
If cooked and some grain sprinkled
over them, the hogs will eat more of
them. which is the only advantage. In
feeding COWS the seeds should be re-
moved if fed in considerable quantity,
as they will interfere with the diges-
ton and cause a decrease in the milk

A resident of an English city has
made himself a marked man by in

Hiuh Prices for Poultry.

With fat cattle bringing highest
prices known and hogs following close
behind, it is a certainty that poultry
will bring good prices for some time
to come Likewise this winter will
find eggs high, not only on account of
high prices in meat products but also
because they entered cold storage al
season.
