it will not make them overfat Care must be exercised with the heavy breeds, especially the Orpingtons, in feeding any dry mash, as they are in clined to walk over to the feed hopper, fill up, and then become too lazy to scratch for any other feed. It is a good practice with such breed to sim ply let them eat a small quantity, and then fix the hopper, so that they will have to scratch for their feed for the rest of the day. Exercise is one of the main things in egg production, and the entire system of feeding should be di- rected towards giving them plenty of. exercise, and at the same time ensur- ing a full crop when the bird goes to roost at night time. With the lighter breeds such as Leghorns, there is no trouble, whatever, with the birds be- coming too fat, but with the heavier breeds there is a tendency as above mentioned.-N West Farmer.

We keep our eggs In bran, using enough to hold the egg up on the small end, says a writer in an exchange. We do not believe eggs cared for in this manner need any turning before being incubated. Each egg must stand alone, and none should be piled on top. Eggs saved for only two or three days can be kept in a basket or flat box, but it is not well tc have too many layers

troubles apply to the Shipment

department now seeks, through
its investigators, to perfect i'm
