DON'T MARKET EGGS
FROM HIDDEN NEST
Only the Freshly Laid Ones Should
Be Taken Out For
Sales

Great difference in eggs are com
mon. They must, first of all, be
newly laid, that is to say. not over one
week old. II the poultry house and
nests are kept clean and the eggs
gathered regularly each day and
placed in a cool, dry, clean room,
they should suit the requirements Of
the most delicate taste. Eggs gath
cred from the hidden nest" should
be used at home and never marketed
for there is bound to be uncertainty
as to their age. Daily or at least
twice a week deliveries are necessary
with a private family trade.
On the whole eggs is eggs" when
they go to or leave the average coun-
try store. 1t is downright injustice
to the hens that laid the eggs, to the
man who grew the grain to produce
them, and to the one who gathers
them thus, to sell eggs for the lowest
possible price. The element of un-
certainty as to just what is covered by
the egg shell eXaggerates the real diff
ference in quality and magnifies the
premium paid for guaranteed fresh
eggs. In other words, people are will
ing to pay an extra price rather than
take any chances. While the general
quality of market eggs has consider
ably increased in some respects of late
years, due to the more systematic
method in handling of eggs by large
dealers, the feature of age, which has
much to do with quality, remains the
same

Here Are Some Tips
About Handling Males
in Nonbreeding Time

Three ways of handling males dur
ing the nonbreeding season are pos
sible The first is to keep them con-
fined to small separate coops by them
selves This is expensive as to labor
and equipment and does not permit of
sufficient exercise. The second Is to
allow the males to run with the flock
all the year. Except for the very
great disadvantage of producing fer
tile eggs during the hot weather, this
is the most economical and best meth
cd so far as the welfare and we'll be-
ing of the hens and males are con-
cerned. The third practice is to re-
move all males from the fiocks dur
ing the summer and keep them in
a flock by themselves, far removed
from the hens to prevent fighting. II
large range with numerous feeding
and watering places is provided and If
the males are watched at first to pre-
vent serious injury from lighting. the
plan works well.
There is more to caring for male
bird than most breeders suppose and
no matter what plan is followed the
bird should never be frightened. BY
becoming nervous and wild his value
i'm the breeding pen will have been
much impaired. His feed must be
wholesome and varied and his sur
roundings sanitary or the birds vital
iy viii certainly be lowered.

DON 7 LET YOUR
HENS CATCH COLD
Cool Nights and Frosty Mornings
Are Conducive to Ancient
Complaint

Cool nights and frosty mornings
are conducive to what poultrymcn call
Fall colds" Perhaps one of the
prime causes of this trouble with the
growing stock is poor ventilation in
the sleeping quarters. This matter of
fresh air is not infrequently over
looked because of the fact that as
chicks are weaned from the brooder
and put out on range quarters they
doubtless have lots of room and lots
of air. Meanwhile, 1t is forgotten
that they are arriving at maturity
and that they are more than twice
as crowded as they were formerly even
though there are the same number
of chicks in the same house. Thus
the birds crowd in at night, sweat
more or less, go out early in the
morning and become chilled, as re-
suit of which there is n discharge
ting in the throat If considerable
care is not exercised at this point roup
will follow.
In discussing this matter at the an
nual convention of Connecticut poul-
trymen, a breeder of wide experience
suggested the following remedy and
said that he had used it with much
success for many years: Magnesia
(oXide) 4.6 parts; magnesium sui
phate, $40 parts; sulphate of iron
(copperas) so parts; sulphur, 40
parts: ground ginger, S:5 parts; oxide
of iron (rouge), 10 parts. This makes
a roup powder and the method of ad-
ministering is to give one tablespoon
full for each ten or twelve birds daily
in the wet mash and continue this for
a week or two, or longer if necessary.

Leaders in the Big
International Laying
Contests at StOrrS

Ten leading pens to date in the third
international laying contest at Storrs,
Conn, are as follows: White Leg
horns. Connecticut, 1854 eggs; White
Wyandottes, England, 1885 eggs;
White Leghorns, England, 1,775;
White WandotteS, Connecticut, ,6S1;
White Wyandottes. Rhode Island, L.
GIL; Rhode Island Reds, Connecticut,
1892; White Leghorns, Pennsylvania,
1,5SS; White Leghorns, New York,
1857: White Leghorns, New York.
1856; White Leghorns, Pennsylvania,
1,545.
Wyandottes arc monopolizing interest
in this competition. In the forty
seventh week, just closed, honors were
almost evenly divided between the
heavier breeds and Leghorns. Rhode
Island Reds and Leghorns tied for
first place with forty-seven eggs each.
The total WELD for all pens amount
ed to 2,33S eggs. or 52s less than the
preceding week This is an average
of 334 eggs day from the $50 hens,
or a yield of about II per cent This,
in spite of the loss as compared with
the preceding week, is considered
good laying when it is remembered
that the hens are nearing the end of
their years work and that the molt-
ing season is now we'll under way
During the past week total of 81
birds were marked up as molting. In
one pen of Plymouth Rocks alone six
birds had started the business of she'd
ding their old feathers and growing
new ones and it is of course and ex-
ceptionally good hen that can grow
feathers and lay eggs at the same
time

GET YOUR LAYING
QUARTERS IN SHAPE
Birds Should Be Matured in Houses
in Which They Spend
Winter

One of the important things for
the flock raiser to have in mind now
is the importance of getting the lay
ing quarters into shape. Very often
this is delayed by the pressure of
other work or by the failure of the
keeper to realize that the season is
fast advancing. All else being equal,
flock that is put into winter laying
quarters by September 1 will outdis-
tance similar flock not quartered so
early.
The ideal way is to mature the
birds in the house in which they will
pass their winter. but IL this Is not
possible the, early housing of the flock
is most desirable. 1t is not amiss to
say that the average flock will take
nearly month to get thoroughly ac-
customed to new quarters. The aim
of every commercial poultryman
should be to have his flock laying by
October l. This cannot always be done
but 1t should always be attempted.
Much of the success of commercial
poultry farming depends upon the
number of eggs obtained during Oc-
tober. November and December
months during which the poorly kept
and unsuccessful flock does not lay,
and during which even the wholesale
price of eggs reaches and passes the
five-cents-each mark.

ECCSHELLS Of WILD
BIRDS ARE TINTED
Domestic Fowls Do Not Need to
Hide Theirs Behind Mot
tied Colors

Considering both wild and domes-
tic birds of all sorts, eggshell ranges
from white to deep colors through a
variety of tints and mottlings The
eggs of domestic fowls are not highly
colored Those of hens vary from
white to a light or deep brownish
tint, the eggs from a particular breed
being very similar as regards their
color. The eggs of ducks are blush
white; those of geese are commonly
white. The eggs of guinea fowls are
white or dark brown, more or less,
mottled with a deeper shade, and the
eggs of turkeys are usually speckled
with a yellowish brown.
Any special coloring of eggs Of wild
birds is commonly explained as pro-
tective measure which has been de-
veloped to render ten eggs incon-
spicuous in their normal surroundings,
and therefore less easily found by their
enemies.
There is no relation between the
color of the shell and the composition
of the egg, Notwithstanding the pop
ular belief that the dark shelled eggs
are richer Extended Investigations
in which many analyses were made of
eggs from different kinds of hens,
showed plainly that there are no uni
form variations in the physical prop
critics and chemical composition of
brown-shelled and white-shelled eggs.

Editor News:
In the City cemetery there are
buried at this time fifty-three Confed-
crate Veterans whose graves have
been identified, and a small stone
placed at the foot Of each containing
the initials &c. "" Confederate Vet
eran.) Less than half of these graves
have the names of the occupants on
durable tombstones; but the others,
where marked at ALL have only
wooden board to designate the sleep
er's name.
These boards decay in two or three
years and must be replaced by others.
The U. c. v. Camp of Hattiesburg has
been replacing them for several years.
1t is thought best to substitute a more
durable memorial. Hence commit
tee was appointed to take the matter
under advisement, and it's decision
was in favor Of appealing to the citi-
zens of Hattiesburg for aid in an eff.
fort to set up a plain marble slab at
the head of each grave bearing simply
the veterans name. These slabs will
cost approximately $500 each.
We are not unmindful of the fact
that many of these dead veterans
have relatives living in the city who
are able and who fully intend to erect
more elegant and costly memorials
than that suggested by us. 1t is hoped
these pious intentions Will soon be
carried into execution.
The recent Decoration Day exer-
cises revealed several nameless graves.
While 1t is still possible to do so, we
should guard against a repetition of
this state of things. 1t has been
deemed advisable to request the CO.
operation of the U. D. Cs in the prose-
cution of this work.

Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are
being Obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert a clean
sing, soothing and purifying action
upon the lower bowels, removing the
distractions of poisonous fecal matter
and gases and preventing their alb
sorption by the blood. This done,
the food is allowed free passage from
the stomach. fermentation ceases and
stomach troubles quickly disappear.

Do your eyes give you trouble? Do
You already wear eyeglasses or spec
tacles? Thousands of people wear
these windows" who might easily dis
pense with them. You may be one Of
these, and 1t is your duty to save your
eyes before 1t is too late. The eyes are
neglected more than any other organ
of the entire body. After you finish
your days work you sit down and rest
your muscles, but how about your
eyes? Do you rest them? You know
you do not. You read or do something
else that keeps your eyes busy; you
work your eyes until you go to bed.
That is why so many have strained
eyes and finally other eye troubles that
threaten partial or total blindness.
Eyeglasses are merely crutches; they
never cure. This free prescription.
which has benefited the eyes of so
many, may work equal wonders for
you. Use it short time. Would you
like your eye troubles to disappear as
if by magic? Try this prescription.
Go to the nearest wideawake drug
store and get a bottle of DIPLOMA tab
lets; fill two-ounce bottle with warm
water, drop in one tablet and allow it
to thoroughly dissolve. With this IL
quid battle the eyes two to four times
daily Just note how quickly your eyes
clear up and how soon the inflammation
will disappear. Don't be afraid to use
it; it is absolutely harmless. Many
who are now blind might have saved
their eyes had they started to care
for them in time. This is a simple
treatment, but marvelously effective in
multitudes of cases. Now that you
have been warned don't delay a day,
but do what you can to save your eyes
and you are likely to thank us as long
as you live for publishing this prescrip-
ton.
