IMPROPER HANDLING OF EGGS THE CAUSE
OF HEAVY LOSS TO FARMERS AND OTHERS
Otto Maurer Research Assistant meteorological Department State
Agricultural College, Explains Why Some Eggs Spoil
so Much Sooner Than 0thsTs--The
Remedy

proceeds much more slawly than at
ordinary temperature. The amount
of shrinking which is caused by the
evaporation of water from the egg.
contents, is generally considered as
an index TO the age OF the eggs. Cold
also prevents further infection of the
eggs because it impairs the motility
and checks the growth OF bacteria.
The commercial cold storage OF eggs
has become very important industry.
The public generally has exaggerated
notions of the profits derived from it
and OF the length of time for which
the eggs are stored. Stimulated by
sensational newspaper articles, the
producers as we'll as the consumers
developed much prejudice against the
cold storage industry. However, this
industry has exerted q most important
influence upon the poultry business,
and much OF the recent phenomenal
growth of this industry is due to the
application OF cold storage to its pro-
ducts. During the period OF heaviest
production large numbers OF eggs are
placed in cold storage for preserva-
tion until the supply goes down.
This system, by balancing the price,
increases consumption. 1t prevents
the eggs from becoming drug on the
market during spring, the season Of
heaviest production, and makes 1t pos
sible for a man Of average means, to
eat q few eggs even during winter.
The packers generally begin to put
eggs into cold storage in March and
April and store heavily until June.
Summer eggs, on account Of their low
quality caused by lack Of care during
the hot weather, do not keep we'll in
cold storage and few OF them are
stored therefore. In September, some.
times even in August, there begins a
heavy drain upon the eggs in the cold
storage halls, and the stock is gener.
ally cleaned out by December or jan
uary.
Much loss has been experienced by
holding eggs too long. Early, warm
spring weather may increase the pro-
duction of eggs on the farm, and stor'
age eggs must be sold at loss. In
cleaning out the storage stock, the
summer eggs; that is, the eggs that
were put in last, always go out first,
while the early spring eggs go out
last. This is entirely opposed to the
usual point of view Of the consumer.
If he has to use storage eggs at all,
he asks for those that have been In
storage for the shortest time, because
he thinks they are better than those
that have been stored two or three
months longer. He does not take into
account the quality of the eggs when
they were put into storage.

Real Shortbread.

As we all know. this toothsome de-
light is usually baked in a round tin
and cut into wedge shaped or tri-
angular pieces, but being so very rich
here is a better way, involving no
waste of crumbs and no danger OF eat
ing a larger proportion than is good
FOR one.
Half a pound OF -four sifted three
times must be placed in a bowl and q
quarter Of a pound OF butter thorough
- rubbed into 1t: add quarter OF q
pound of granulated sugar and mix
into a very stiff paste with a small
egg. Roll out thin and cut round
shape, cooky size and bake slightly IN
a quick oven. These are good for a
surprise" party, for 1t is amusing to
see the face of the eater who expect
ed an ordinary "cookey" instead OF an
extraordinary one.

Some very pretty afternoon and
evening scarfs and NUNS have been
made by girls, using fur and marabout
trimmings left over from former
years. One girl had yards Of swans
down that had trimmed her first party

lengthwise, making a band a little
over an inch wide. This she sewed on
the edges of a scarf Of fawn-color chif-
fon cloth, with two bands at even In

The red cedar is particularly suited
to Western Kansas. It Is a native, II
is the hardest of evergreens, and its
dense foliage makes 1t an excellent
tree for protection purposes. Grown
here its cost is small. The forester
has $500 once-transplanted, two-year-
old red cedar trees, now, which farm

MRANY eggs that are free from
WH bacteria when laid become sub.

n MANY eggs that are free from
I'VE bacteria when laid become sub
sequently infected on account
OF improper handling. We always
have TO remember that bacteria, under
favorable conditions, may go through
the pores in the shell and infect the
egg.contents. AS long as the egg is
perfectly dry, the bacteria cannot do
this, but as soon as eggs are kept In
moist or damp quarters, the bacteria,
which are always present on the shell,
grow and move through the pores. and
finally reach the contents, TO begin
their work OF destruction.
Unfortunately the farmers often
take no care at all to keep their eggs
clean and dry 1t does not matter II
they get dirty. one does not eat the
shell, they think. Dirty nests fire.
Qucntly are a source OF loss because
the eggs become soiled with droppings
and many bacteria possess the faculty
10 reach the egg.contents from such
drCppings. Also, II necessitates the
washing of the eggs, and washing re-
duces the keeping qualities. The egg
is covered with delicate film OF muc'
GUS which keeps out the bacteria,
Washing removes this film, thereby
favoring infection of the eggs. Sud
den changes in temperature should
also be avoided. Many farmers, as
they collect their eggs, wash the dirty
ones, or rather dilute the dirt and rub
it all over the egg. The wet eggs
may then be put in a cool cellar. In
summer the rapid change In temper
ature from the hot pan to the cool
cellar causes considerable contraction
OF the egg.contents. Some OF the
moisture on the shell or in the pores
is, therefore, drawn into the interior.
This moisture generally containing
many bacteria, the eggs become in
fected, and their quality is reduced.
If eggs are washed at all, they should
be .insed in clean water and thorough
is dried before they are put away.
Sudden changes from lower to higher
Temperatures are also deleterious to
the keeping qualities of eggs. They
cause sweating and partial removal OF
the covering mucous film, thereby
fayoring infection and Fastening de-
cay.
The deterioration OF eggs that are
already infected can be greatly checked
by proper handling. Cold is about
: the most effective means to check bac'
terial development and is therefore
a most valuable help to the poultry
and egg industry. Eggs should always
be kept as cool as possible( that Is,
Of course. not below freezing point),
not only because decomposition is
checked, but also because shrinking

COMPARTMENTS IN THE BAG
One Of the Newest and Most Welcome
Of the Many Recent FadS
Of Fashion.

II you once have owned fourfold
bag you will never again be without
one. Into the separate compartments
can 60 buttons. hooks and eyes, thread
and sewing utensils and a small piece
Of work, and there is no wild hunting
for the article needed as in a one
piece bag.
These bags may be made in any
size, but q convenient size Is made
from a yard and three-quarters OF
tive.inch fowered ribbon with colored
satin edges. Cut the ribbon into four
strips of equal length, double each
strip and overcast the edges together
to form a small bag. Turn in the top
to the depth of an inch for the head
Ing and run with q double line Of sew
Ing for casing.
Use two yards Of number one or
baby satin ribbon for a drawstring,
cutting in separate yard pieces. Rip
the stitches on the outside OF the
casing between the line Of sewing, and
run the drawstring through the out
side of each Of the four bags, tying
the ends in a fluffy bow. Start the
other drawstrings at the opposite end
with two bags to each side and run
around the four, using the inner side
Of the casing. Tie ends in a bow.
To keep the bags from sliding on
the drawstring, tack the two on each
side together, running a stitch or
two in the frill just above the casing.
This makes them draw easily on one
string.

planting cedars is to be sure the roots

be obtained by pudding the roots as
soon as the trees are received, and
by keeping them protected until the

Aberdeen.-H. F. Patterson, super.
lntendent of the Better Farming asso-
citation OF South Dakota recommends
the following solution for the spray
ing of potato plants to destroy the po-
tato bugs.
Bordeau mixture is extremely val
liable in destroying potato insects
and fungus diseases. 1t is made by
ushing four pounds of copper sui
phate,- four pounds Of quick lime and
forty gallons of water. The copper
sulphate and the lime should be dis
solved separately and poured into a
third vessel. Do not pour the copper
sulphate into the lime nor the lime
into the copper sulphate, but pour
them together, for only in this way
a a mixture be obtained which will
o quickly separate out.
Paris green is also valuable. One
pound of it can either be added TO
about forty gallons of the Bordeaux
mixture or to about fifty gallons of
water and used effectively in destroy.
ing potato insects. 1t is sometimes
necessary to spray the potato plants
soon after they come up. In this way
the bugs are destroyed early in the
season. Spraying should not be de-
layed longer than is absolutely neces-
sary. 1t is sometimes dangerous to
delay spraying until the plants are
six or eight inches high. Spraying
should be done at intervals of two
weeks, as long as the plants remain
green. From five to seven applican
tons are sometimes necessary. The
mixture should be applied to the
plants in the form Of a very fine spray.
Each portion of the plant should be
covered. The solution should dry up,
on the plants.
