lNFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST
Do Not Permit Male Bird With Flock
After Matching Season-Farmer
Sustalns Big Loss.

II is conservatively estimated that
there is an annual loss in eggs In this
country of $45,000,000. Practically all
of this enormous loss is sustained by
the farmers of this country, as II Is
on the general farms that the great
bulk OF eggs is produced. A very great
part Of this loss can be prevented by
the production of infertile eggs.
which are laid by hens that do not
have a male bird with them. The male
bird has no influence whatever on the
number OF eggs laid. Therefore, as
soon as the Matching season is over
the male should be removed from the
flock.
The greatest trouble from blood
rings In eggs occurs in hot weather.
Special care should be given to the
gathering and storing OF the eggs
during the late spring and summer
months. At these times the eggs
should be gathered at leas. twice a
day, placed in a room or cellar where
the temperature does not rise above
70 degrees Fahrenheit, and marketed
two or three times a week.
Blood rings are caused by the de-
velopment OF the embryo of fertile
egg and its subsequent death. It Is
impossible to hatch an infertile egg or
cause a blood ring to form in one

teen days after the male bird is re-
moved from the flock. Repeated ex-
periments have shown that where
fertile and infertile eggs are kept un-
der similar conditions, the fertile
eggs spoiled much quicker, due to the
fact that they deteriorate faster than
infertile eggs in the average summer
temperature. Summer heat has the
same effect as the hen or incubator on
fertile eggs. Sell, kill, or confine the
male bird as soon as the Matching sea.

COMPOSITION OF GOOD EGGS

Clean Shells and Weighs Twenty
Four Ounces Per Dozen.

The eggs graded firsts in the mar
ket are fresh, good-sized eggs with
clean. sound shells and weigh "a
ounces or more per dozen. 45 pounds
per case OF 80 dozen eggs. When the
egg is broken into plate, the yolk
must stand up firm and the white
must not be watery. A fresh laid egg
fills its she'll. The longer an egg is
kept the larger the air space in the
interior on account OF evaporation
through the shell. An old egg may
not fill over half its shell.

FOR USE IN THE LAUNDRY
Best Soap 10 That Made OF Fat and
an Alkall-Excellent for Disin-
fecting Clothing.

The best laundry soap (made Of
fat and an alkalD is. during the proc
ess of making. kneaded like dough.
This admits air into the soap and
causes 1t to float when hardened. A
soap that floats dissolves easily in wa
ter and is excellent for disinfecting
purposes. The alkah and the salts of
the fat acids combine with the water
and this solution readily .penetrates
porous substances and adheres to solid
surfaces. killing any fully developed
bacteria that 1t touches.
' Such a soap solution combined with
boiling water is invaluable for disin-
fecting clothing from the sick room,
where there has been an infectious
disease. Pour the boiling water and
soap solution down the pipes OF the
kitchen sink and the bathroom con-
nections. Use 1t once q week at least
for cleansing the garbage receptacle.
The solution may be used for disin-
fecting floors. Have one pail of the
soap and water and another Of clean
hot water. Scrub the floor and base
board with q stiff brush dipped in the
soap and water, rinsing the brush
carefully In the hot water after each
application.-Today's Magazine.

MAYoNNAIsE EASY 70 MAKE
Popular Dressing Has Wrongly Been
Considered Too Difficult for the
Busy Cook.

The making of mayonnaise dressing
was formerly regarded as very trou.
blesome affair. Exceptional cooks or
housewives, II is true. would assert
that II was no trouble, once the knack
was acquired; but as a rule II was not
popular dressing with busy cooks.
The reason was not far to seek. In
the first place. tradition held that II
mayonnaise dressing curdled II must
be thrown out and q new mixture
started; and, as Il often curdles, this
was not a cheerful prospect to face
when time was short. In the second
place, tradition asserted that good
mayonnaise could be made only by
adding the oil drop by drop-a lengthy
and troublesome process.
Tradition in both instances was
wrong. If the mayonnaise curdles, an
egg yolk should be broken into clean
bowl and beaten thoroughly and the
curdled mixture added to this drop.
in this way the mayonnaise will be
recovered.
The three-minute mixture that saves
the tedious drop-by-drop process is
made as follows:
Measure out the salt and mustard
into a bowl and add a whole egg. both
yolk and white. Beat this mixture
thoroughly and then add one-third Of a
cupful OF oil. all at once. Beat this
until 1t begins to thicken. then add an.
other third of a cupful Of oil. This
makes a fairly thin mayonnaise. II
a thicker one is desired more oil must
be added. making cupful Of oil in
all; beat until very stiff, then set the
bowl on ice until the dressing ID
wanted.
Mayonnaise made by this process is
less likely to curdle than that made
in the old way. and the mixture is
quite as good.
A bowl or Jar of mayonnaise will
keep for some time II put in the re
frigerGtor. and 1t is very useful tc

too. that a mayonnaise can lie trans

SLATED COLLAR IS USEFUL
Device Makes II Quite impossible for
Cow TO Turn Her Head Far
Enough to Reach Teats.

II is difficult OF breaking COW OF
sucking herself. About the only thing
that can be done is to make some de.
vice by means OF which she will be
prevented from doing so.
One OF the simplest and best OF
these is a Slated collar. For the or.
dinary-sized COW take two inch straps,
80 inches long. with buckles in one end
and few holes punched In the other.
Place the straps about nine inches
apart and rivet TO them ten or eleven
stats. leaving a space for one and one
half inches between each slat. The
Stats should be about one inch wide
and IL inches long and shsrpened at
both ends.
When this collar is placed around
the cows neck and buckled II will be
impossible for her to swing her head
around far enough to reach her teats.
