DIRTY EGGS DECREASE VALUE
Agricultural Department Estimates
Loss to Farmers at $5,0oo,0o0
Every Year.

While there are a few egg producers
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 pro.
vision for their care, aside from gath.
ering them. A large loss is caused
by dirty eggs, the number being enor
nous, and according to the estimate
Of Secretary Wilson of the depart
ment of agriculture this money loss
to the farmers in the United States
amounting to about s5,0O0OOO annual
ly.
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 broody hens to
use the same nests with the layers.
On a farm where one nest to every
four hens is provided 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 will become heated, or near oil,
onions, or other vegetables, as they
readily absorb odors.
Although dirty eggs may be perfect
ly fresh, they invariably sell as "sec.
onds," and when but few dirty eggs
are mixed with an otherwise fresh,
clean lot, they materially decrease
the price Of the clean eggs.

ORIGIN OF INDIAN RUNNERS
Thought by Many People to Be
Most Profitable Of Duck Family.
Cpy ANNA GALLIaHER. Ohio.)


1t is only comparatively few years
since the Indian Runner ducks made
their appearance in America. They
came originally from the West In
dies, where they have been raised for
years. chiefly as egg-producers. They
derive their name from their native
land and racy, upright carriage.
In color they are fawn and white
with yellow shanks and light-green
bill; the latter being sometimes
splashed with black.
The body is long and narrow and
is carried in an almost upright posi-
ton. Neck is long and thin, with fine
ly formed head.
The Indian Runner is rather small
fully matured ducks weighing from
four to five pounds. brakes from five
to six pounds, live weight.
But they grow very rapidly while
young and are easy to raise. What
they lack in weight is more than made
up for in their other good qualities.
To begin with, they are very prolific
layers; beginning when about si1
months old. Their eggs are pure
white and a little larger than those
OF a Plymouth Rock hen.
They are superior in quality to any
The Arvada enterprise., 1912-05-16

ducks eggs that We have ever eaten,
and as a rule, they bring higher
prices In the market.
The ducklings reach a marketable
size when about twelve weeks old
When forced, they will weigh four tc
five pounds at two months.
The meat of the Runner is of su.
perior quality; fine In the grain, juicy
and excellent hayor Hotels and res.
taurants pay fancy prices for duck
lings
The eggs are In good demand, also
In winter when eggs are high the In.
dian Runner is ION the job" Any
enterprising person can work up a
that should prove highly profitable.
There is no great danger of strong
competition, as comparatively few
poultry raisers have taken up this
branch of the industry. notwithstand
ing the fact that nearly all kinds OF
poultry products are bringing un'
heard-of prices in the open market.
In summer the Indian Runner when
given free range will find the greater
part of his living in the fields. But OF
course when being fattened for mar
ket, they need some grain. 1t would
be well to say right here that for best
results the grain should be either
ground or cooked.

Eggs now are at their highest.
The best breed is one that suits
ones purpose best.
A little salt and pepper mixed with
the mash is good for the hens.
Hens must be fed, and fed a long
time, before the eggs will come.
Breeding turkeys can be protitably
kept up to the fifth and sixth year.
The cost of feed for geese is small,
compared with that for other market
fowls.
When at all indisposed, a turkey
should be separated from the rest OF
the flock.
Ducks and gese require deep drink.
ing vessels, especially If reared and
kept on land.
A hen, like a human being, needs
to be made comfortable in order to
do the best work.
As soon as the breeding season is
over the male birds should be sep.
arated from the hens.
The business OF oar domestic hen
is to produce plenty OF eggs, and we
must feed her for them
Begin to aelert your breeders for
next year and crii cut and sell those

PROVIDING GRIT IN WINTER
Much as They Requlre-Don't
Feed II In Their Mash.
(By w. f. PARRISH.)

When winter comes and the ground
freezes. or is covered with snow good
deal of the time, grit must be sup.
piled. Gravel or grit should be sharp,
so as to both cut and grind. Smooth
pieces OF gravel will not answer the
purpose. Gravel dug from n pit will
make one of the best grits.
When pounded into small pieces,
broken crockery will make excellent
grit, also. A little sand mixed with
the other grit is helpful. but It will not
answer for exclusive use, not being
sharp nor coarse enough.
II you prefer, you can buy prepared
grit from the dealers In poultry sup.
plies. A good many people do this
and good many other people buy
oyster shells with the belief that they
are obtaining grit. The hens need
some of the oyster shells, as they sup
ply the system with lime and car
Donates, but they will not take the
place of grit. They are too soft, and
digest rather than grind.
Keep well filled grit boxes where
the hens can run to them at will dur.
ing the winter months and you will
find that they consume quite lot OF
the material In months time. Pro.
viding the grit In boxes and allowing
the hens to help themselves is the best
way of feeding 1t. They will then use
as much as is necessary for their
health. as they are the best judges OF
this matter and consequently will not
consume more than they require.
II we always knew how much would
be needed for the health of the birds
II would be all right to mix the grit
with the feed. But since we do not
know this, we would best not force
grit upon them as we would be doing
II We mixed 1t with the feed.
