QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

O. Will you please tell me how long an
egg can be kept before using it for sit
ting purposes, and also how ! can tell a
fertile egg? A Constant Reader. Utica,
N. Y.
A. There is no real limit placed on
keeping eggs before using them for sit
ting, yet it appears needless to say that
one can keep them for any great length
of time and then expect results. The
best hatch is obtained when the eggs are
used within two or three days, but how
ever, they may be kept for two weeks
without materially etfecting them, pro-
vided they are kept in proper tempera-
ture, which should never be below 10 nor
above 60 degrees.
There is really no sure way of distin-
gushing the fertility of eggs, other than
a test. A fertile egg may be told on the
seventh day after the hatch has been in
progress. Hold the eggs to the light
the infertile ones will show clear, and
those which have the germ of life can be
told by a dark clOt, from which slight
threads run.
l believe there is a machine on the
market known as a Magic Egg Tester,
which is guaranteed to pick out the infer
tile eggs before they are used, but as /
have never seen it in operation ! cannot
at this time say anything Pertaining to it.

The PROPER RATIONS FOR
FOWLS: YOUNG and OLD
And Some Other Advice About Their
Care.

roosting quarters and brood coOps and
get in their work at night.
They do not remain permanently on
the body of the hen as body lice do, but
come out at night from their hiding
places in crevices to poster the birds /;
with the coming of daylight, they return
to hiding.
After thoroughly cleaning the house
and brood coOps, scrape out the cracks
and spray into every crevice, including
the sides of the cOOJs, a solution of coal
oil and carbolic acid. or some equally
good disinfectant. Repeat this as often
as practicable, and in addition supply a
good dust bath. In this way the fiocks
will be kept reasonably clean from this
infection and annoyance.
Returning again to the subject of ra-
tons. In the foregoing, from their in
fancy until they have reached the age
when we should begin to feed for eggs.
An excellent laying ration will be found
to be a mixture of three parts bran, one
part gluten meal, one part cornmeal,
one part middlings, one part beef scraps,
one-fourth part alfalfa, One-eighth part
bOnemeal with a little linseed meal
added once or twice a month. With
this a grain ration should be fed, made
up of cracked corn, wheat, oats, to which
is added little kaffir corn and buck
wheat. The corn should be increased
or diminished in quantity according to
the GOODNESS of the weather. Very little
being used in warm weather.
Quick changes in ratiOns are to be
avoided. When changing the growing
ration for the laying or permanent one,
it should be done gradually. A good
way to accomplish this is to feed them
alternately, the old one day and the new
the next, or they may be mixed gradually,
a little of the new being added to the
old each day until you can dispense en-
'tirely with the old.

POULTRY POINTERS

Cockerels should be separated from
the pullets as soon as it is possible to
distinguish the sex. The cockerels may
be confined very closely if they are to
be fattened for market, and as they are
of no other use, they should not be
allowed the use Of the range as it pre-
vents the taking on of fat which is es-
sential for market purposes.
Feed twice daily on porridge made
of four parts of cornmeal, two parts of
middlings or cheap flour and one part
of finely chopped beef scrap, mixed with
milk, but not made too sloppy.
A little extra care and attention given
to the young stock now will reap its
reward later on. Your next winter s
egg yield will most likely be in proportion
to your work now. If you are too busy,
and incidently lazy, to care for the little
ones now, you will be spared the extra
labor during the fall and winter of gath
ering the eggs which you then long for.
1t is estimated that IS per cent of
chickens that die Of disease, are killed
by some form of yermin. This is certain
w not the fault of the chicken, they like
to live Just as well as you do; but it's
the fault of those who permit the pests
to gain a stronghold. Don't have your
name classed among theidle and inatten-
tive breeders get busy and be vigor-
Gus, observant and Industrious one; it
will pay better and you will fell better.
The quality of a cow S milk depends
largely upon the kind of feed she gets.
This is also true of the chicken To
make fine eggs. she should have good,
sweet food. See that she gets it.
