HABIT OF EXCHANGING EGGS
Little Money and No Satisfaction In
Prsctiee-5est to Sell Direct
to the Consumer.

There is no satisfaction, and but
very little money in exchanging eggs
for groceries or grain. By being care
full in gathering eggs, so that they
won't become chilled in winter and so
the hens won't sit on them overnight
and using a little care in sizing and
selecting, quite an advance over the
common prices may be obtained.
When possible, sell your eggs direct
TO the consumer. II not possible. get
market in your nearest city with
some grocer who deals in strictly
fancy groceries and provisions. Agree
to furnish him only strictly fresh
eggs, and then, for your own sake,
live up to your agreement Carefully
clean all the eggs; don't send any
small, misshapen or large ones. Stamp
each egg with a rubber stamp. using
your initials or the name OF your
farm. and in a short time you will
have created a demand for your eggs,
and when you have created such a de-
mand your eggs viii bring the highest
prices. considerably more than your
storekeeper would pay.
Several neighbors could send their
eggs together, paying a cent or two
per dozen to one of their number for
doing the business. and in this way
all would gain a little.

MUCH COMFORT FOR POULTRY
Hens Sing and caekle in cozy Winter
House When Kept Busy Scratch
ing for Their Feed.

In our winter poultry house on cold
snowy days our hens sing and cackle
as if they we're enjoying summer
weather. The house is 14x56 feet,
with large windows on the southern
exposure. It's equipment consists OF
clean, inviting nest boxes, self-feeders.
with grit and shells, the ground floor
banked deeply with leaves and straw,

county. Ohio, in the New England
Homestead. We keep the hens busy
from daylight until perch time dig
ging after small grain scattered sew
eral times daily in the litter. Lawn
clippings. meat offal. beets, pumpkins.
cabbage and an occasional sheaf of
wheat, oats or clover hay suspended
from the roof gives them business.
1t is the busy hen that lays the
eggs. She hustles and has red blood
coursing in her veins to keep her
warm on cold days. Our perches can
be hooked to the roof. and II we have
any drones in the flock inclined to
spend much Of the day on the perch
we just hook the perches to the cell
ing. They soon get the habit OF
hustling with the rest Of the flock.
We have no use for drones on our
farm save in our apiary

cold-storaqe Tests.

Tests of cold storage. as made by
one Of the experts of the department
Of agriculture led to the conclusion
that poultry keeps better when not
drawn than 1t does when drawn. The
reason is that the process of drawing
causes bruises which invite the lodg-
ment Of germs. Birds that were dry
picked kept much better than those
which had been scalded. The experts
summed up the requirements as
prompt storage, dry picking and dry
chilling. These essentials have all
been favorable to the cOld-storage
trade. but seem never to be COM
pretended by the host Of agitators
which every year try to secure abb
surd eold-storage laws.

Omen Muslin Front Best.

A glass front poultry house causes
extremes in temperature, warming up
in the day time and then turning cold
with the setting of the sun. This is
also apt to cause disease and make
the fowls combs and wattles more
sensitive to frosts. The open muslin
front is by far the best and at the
same time the least expensive. Some
glass may be used, but not exclusive
ly.

BRADSTREET'S WEEKLY
VERMONT TRADE REPORT

Reports to Bradstreet's for the week
reflect but little change in the general
condition OF manufacturing interests
Warm weather coupled with a few light
showers have benefited crops and corn
is looking much better than it did year
ago at this time. Among the retail mer-
chants the first week in August has noted
a general movement with clearance
sales; these have with hardly an cXcep-
ton been well attended and the results
have been satisfactory. The merchant,
however, reports conservative buying for
the near future. Collections are reported
from good to slow with an average of
about half way between The retailer
complains Of his collections and this is
attributed to the vacation period Tour
list trade Is reported light although tho
summer places are well filled, one fail
uro is reported for the week.
Burlington manufacturers of garments
report considerable business for fall; con-
fectionery trade is ahead of the period.
The clothing merchants report clearance
sales we'll attended. Winooskl reports n
number of families have moved out of
town during the past week and retail
merchants state trade is quiet. At Rut-
land the manufacturing plants are well
| employed. Crops in that section are re-
ported as fully as good as usual with
exception of hay and fruits, Reports from
St, Adams indicate the farmers in that
