1t is q fact that. generally speaking.
brown eggs are preferred over white

ter to supply this demand at small
cost II their customers wapt brown
eggs. they supply them as long as
they have them In stock, and then
color the white ones to f1ll out.
II is a very easy matter staining a

Sc" just as readily and please the
customers az well as though they had
bought genuine brown eggs.
There is quite a difference. how.
ever. In the lucrative value Of very
light colored yolks and those which
have a rich reddish yellow color. The
pale yolk indicates poor feeding
and bad conditions. but the reddish.
yellow yolk indicates that the hens
have been fed on the right kind of
rations, and are therefore better food.
Iron In the food gives color to the
yolk or the egg. and anaemic persons
whose diet embraces eggs should al
ways select those Of the rich reddish
color, ,scause they contain more iron
than the pale ones.
Judging the value OF the egg as
food. therefore. do not take the color
Of the shell as an index of its food

D To encourage more intensive

methods Of soil building, selection of

etc.
(2) To offer a medium through
which vocational guidance, inspira-
ton, information. and careful direc.

(O To adapt the boy 10 his agri.
cultural environments AMI make him

environments.
a. To teach the value Of intellect.
ual guidance. careful observation. cul.
tural comparison and Investigation.
and the need Of broader education
for the farming population.
(5) To teach the boy the proper
adaptation Of plant life to local eli.
matte and soil conditions.
(6) To assist the teacher and the
public school to find an easy ap-
proach. educationally. to all the inter.
ests Of rural and village life. (a)
The club acre should be the labora-
tory for the club member and the
demonstration plat for the farmer.
(b) The club work becomes the con-
Meeting link between parent and
teacher. farm and school, and last but
not least. It forms a cooperative at
