substantially increased by establishing
q private trade in eggs of good quality
with hotels, restaurants, etc, in towns
and cities.
A good homemade egg tester or
Gambler can be made from a large
shoe box, or any box that is large
enough to go over a lamp, by remov-
ing an end and cutting a hole a little
larger than the size of a quarter in
the side of the box, so that when 1t
is set over a common kerosene lamp
the hole will be opposite the blaze.
A hole the size Of a silver dollar should
be cut in the top of the box to allow
the heat to escape
A fresh egg held at the hole oppo-
site the blaze of the lamp will show
perfectly clear through the she'll A
stale or bad egg will show dark spots
This egg tester may be used with
excellent results in determining
whether eggs are fertile or infertile.
Many eggs that are laid in late winter
and early spring are infertile. For
this reason it is advisable, when set
ting time comes, to set several hens at
the same time. after the eggs have
been under the hen for seven days
they should be tested to see whether
they are fertile or infertile. Infertile
eggs should be removed and used at
home in cooking, for they are just as
good as others, and the fertile eggs

HINTS OF HORSES AND MULES
Pleasure and inspiration in Breeding
and Handling Of High Glass AMI
maIs-Money in Drafters.

In the fields big team makes haste
by the width of the furrow or swath
they cut.
There is pleasure and inspiration
in the business of breeding and hand
ling high class horses.
Bear in mind in breeding horses
that 1t is just as essential to breed
good feet on to them as to get weight
and blood in them.
The pure bred mare is a good in
vestment to the small farmer, and IL
he will allow her to share the work
of the place she will do nearly as
much work as a gelding. and raise a
good colt beside.
The drafter can make more money
by his great efficiency at heavy work
than the light horse can by his greater
speed on the road.
Nowadays farmers are awakening TO
the fact that 1t takes strong horses to
do good work on the farm.
The stall-fioor In the horse stables
should be level; inclined planes are
injurious. The horse is forced to
stand in q cramped position. and il
generally becomes permanently dis
abled.
It does not matter so much what
sort OF a floor is put in, as the care
taken Of It Plenty OF bedding must
- used at all times. II cement is
used, rough-furnish 1t to prevent slip
ping and crippling.
Wooden floors are too dry. and have
and injurious effect upon the hoofs;
beside there is the ever present dam
ger of splintering.
A clay floor, tamped down well, and
then covered with cinders, makes an
ideal floor for such stalls.
The man who will put frosty bride
bits in the horses mouth ought to
have the same frosty pair rammed
into his own mouth a few times to
show him just how 1t feels.

CARE OF GASOLINE ENGINES
Apparatus Is Handy Power and De-
serving Of Widespread Popularity
1t Fills Many Niehes.

Farmers who shelter their machin-
cry in the fields during the winter are
not apt to make much OF q success
OF the gasoline engine in farm work
The gasoline engine ia a very handy
power and is deserving of widespread
popularity. It win fill many inches on
good sized farm and very few of
US have begun to know its value.
II must be well cared for and kept
well housed, for there are certain
condition under which it operates that
are simple but memorable. 1t will
balk quicker than a mule II the con-
ditions are not right
Amy farmer can get valuable assist
ance from a gasoline engine II he
will give 1t proper care.
Its care is very simple. First comes
protection from the weather A tar
paulin is a very good cover for an en-
CINE that is kept out-of-doors, and even
one housed Is better If kept covered
when it is not in use. Live batteries
are necessary. Electricity is the spark
of life to a gasoline motor.
A clean spark plug is necessary at
the other end of the battery wire. The
mixture of gasoline and air must be
just right for the most effective work
at the greatest economy of power,
although the motor will work and
waste gasoline.
Adjustments of this kind are simple
to learn and should be understood by
the man who has charge of the engine.
A frequent cause OF trouble is the
failure to strain the gasoline when
filling the tank. Pay but little atten-
ton to men who claim that their gaso-
line is absolutely clean, or the result
will be disastrous
Strain the gasoline through O.
chamois or a finely meshed strainer.
Good lubricating oil is another Inn
portant essential. No gasoline-engine
can give it's best service unless it is
properly cared for and housed.

should be put back under the hen. In
this way it is often possible to put
all Of the fertile eggs under fewer
hens and reset the hens from which
the eggs have been taken.
In testing these eggs, an infertiIe
egg, when held before the small hole
of the egg testing box, with the light
ed lamp inside, will look perfectly
clear, the same as a fresh one. while
a fertile egg will show a small, dark
spot known as the embryo with a
mass of little blood veins extending
in all directions If the embryo is liv-
ing. II dead, If the egg has been In
.cubated for at least So hours, the blood
settles away from the embryo toward
the edge of the yolk. forming what is
known as blood ring. The testing
should be done in a dark room.

The Improper handling of eggs
throughout the country causes an
enormous loss, the amount extending
into many millions Of dollars annually.
1t Is an established fact that strictly
fresh eggs command a higher price
than those commonly designated as
store eggs, and If the farmer. who is
the largest producer Of this we'll
known perishable commodity, would
take more care in selecting, grading
and marketing this product he would
receive a price higher than the aver

poultry and eggs buys the groceries
