Raising Poultry in Notwithstanding 1t a Profitable Business

testines which are light or pale in color
and usually nearly empty.
The source of infection Is the ovary
of the mother hen. Infected hens produce
infected eggs. The latter hatch infected
chicks, and these spread the disease
through their droppings. The surviving
pullets harbor the organism, which To-
Gates in the ovary, and the disease is
thus perpetuated from year to year.
Prevention seems to be better than at
tempted cure. Use none but clean breed
ers from flocks where the disease has
not appeared. Keep the incubator dark
at Matching time, so the normal chicks
cannot pick up infected droppings. Pro-
tect feed and water dishes during the
first week so their contents cannot be
contaminated. Remove all chicks which
show symptoms of the disease, and, II
any reach market maturity, dress and
sell them so they cannot by any chance
prove a fertile source of trouble another
season.
Sour Milk an Excellent Food.
Give sour milk freely from the first
feed until the chicks are at least a month
Of age. Sour-milk feeding Is most de-
sirable. The Tactic acid does much to-
ward keeping the troublesome organism
in check and the milk has a marked eff
feet upon growth and vigor. 1t is one of
the best feeds for chicks, sick or well.
l would like to again drive home the
thought that uniform success in the rear
ing of considerable numbers Of chicks,
especially in large flocks and under in
tensive conditions, depends in great meas
ure upon cleanliness and the maintenance
of strictly hygienic surroundings. So many
diseases are fostered and intensified by
filth that no one can afford to permit
these unfavorable conditions to exist.
There Is comparatively little expense in
volved in keeping everything right, par
ticularly If the work is carefully planned
and Systematically performed.
Preserve Eggs Now.
All over the country the hens are now
doing their heaviest laying. All factors
are conducive to egg production, and the
neglected farm flocks, as well as the
pampered pets of the fanciers, are visiting
the nests with ~commendable regularity.
This egg flood will continue for a few
weeks, then production will gradually
decrease as the hot weather comes on,
reaching the low level when the old stock
goes into mott and before the early
Matched pullets get down to work.
Year after year this fluctuation is OBJ
served. Maximum production in the
Spring, minimum Production during the
late Fall and early Winter. And egg quo
t%ations, changing in obedience to the law
of supply and demand, always rule low
during the Spring months and reach the
highest point in early Winter.
Prior to the perfection of cold-storage
methods Spring prices of eggs invariably
went to a ruinously low figure, because

luton may not be entirely effective.
The Egg Preserving Solution.
The preserving solution is made by add
ing one part, by measure, of the water
glass to nine parts Of boiled water, STIR
ring vigorously to insure uniformity OF
the mixture. There is nothing trouble
some or complex about this work. Any
one can do it.
Select the eggs with care. Use none
but fresh stock, clean and with perfect
shells. Eggs of doubtful quality will not
be improved by the preventative.
Place the eggs in clean receptacles OF
suitable size and pour the solution over
them, covering the top layer to a depth
OF two or three inches. Cover closely
and set in a reasonably cool place until
needed. Examine occasionally to be sure
that the liquid has not evaporated and
left some of the eggs exposed to the air.
Add more of the solution II necessary.
Or, II preferred, the solution may be
placed in the container and the eggs
added at intervals as secured. The latter
plan is best for poultry keepers who
gather eggs daily and for consumers who
prefer to buy a few dozen at a time.
The money saving which may be made
through the adoption Of this simple plan
is easily estimated. During the Spring
fine, big eggs can be purchased at Is to
"a cents per dozen, prices varying in diff
ferent sections. During the Winter egg
prices range from 40 to 60 cents per
dozen, an increase of 20 to 80 cents per
dozen. Therefore. on each case of 80
dozens, preserved at a cost of a few cents.
the provident egg user makes a saving OF
Sc to 80.
Test the scheme this season, If only In a
small way. A half gallon of water glass
of the right quality is sufficient to pre-
serve so dozen eggs.
Before boiling eggs which have been
thus preserved prick a few pin holes In
the large end of the shells. Otherwise
they will burst, since the preservative
tightly seals up the shell pores.

rying the surplus over until needed. /
have personally sold great quantities OF
fine fresh eggs as low as 9 and 10 cents
a dozen right in New York State. And
poultrymen in the Midwest could not
do as we'll as that. Director Quisenberry,
of the Missouri State Poultry Expert
ment Station, once said to me that he
had offered Spring eggs in his market
town at prices as low as 5 cents per dozen
without finding buyers.
But the great demand for prime stock
for storage use has changed all this.
Spring quotations are now usually dOu-
BILE those which maintained in the good
old days, and this has certainly been
a powerful factor in the betterment OF
the poultry industry. 1t Is quite possible
that Winter prices for strictly fresh eggs
would be somewhat higher If there was
no storage stock on the market. But the
business poultryman may accept this sit
uation philosophically, since he has SO
many more dozens to sell in the Spring
and the loss of Winter income is more
than made good by the. increase in Spring
prices.

The fastidious consumer frequently re-
CARDS storage eggs with contempt, but If
he buys his Winter supply IN the open
market he Is quite sure to use some eggs
of this kind, and will, unless decidedly
expert, consider them most satisfactory.
AS a commercial proposition, the cold
storage method of holding eggs for sew
eral months is all right. But the indi-
vidual consumer cannot adopt this plan
because Of many obvious reasons. How
ever, it Is possible to successfully preserve
eggs at home at low cost and with little
trouble. Fresh eggs treated as described
below will retain their flavor and appear
ance for many months, and will be found
excellent for household purposes, either
for cooking or table use. This plan is
generally recommended by the various
agricultural institutions, and l can per-
sonally certify that 1t gives excellent re-
suits, since | have followed it for years
in my W home.
The preservative Is merely a solution
of water glass, a syrupy liquid which the
chemists call sodium ~silicate. This mate
rial can usually be secured at drugstores
and poultry supply houses in any desired
quantity. There Is no standard price. |
have known 1t to sell occasionally as low
as so cents per gallon and as high as 81
per gallon. But even at the latter figure
it may be profitably used because of the
saving one may make on the family egg
bill.
When purchasing water glass In the
liquid form one should be certain that
it is of the proper grade, as certain grades
are too alkaline to give best results. Also,
that it is in the right condition, as it de-
teriorates unless carefully stored; and
