a clear white egg, while Boston wants
rich brown color; and the interme-
date cities, all the way across, may,
in a way, take almost any color but
most city retailers find it to their
advantage to separate the colors to
suit individual customers.
But never, no never, fool awav very
much time with scrub" or m0ugrel
stock on the farm, and do4t try to
keep too many breeds or you may soon
have lot of mongrels yourself.
Even on the regular poultry ranch
where many breeds are kept, strange
( n1ixeries" sometimes happen in
some most unexplainable way.
1t is often claimed that mixed
breeds c scrubs lay better than
purebreds. but careful investigation
will generally prove that the feed,
care, and perhaps the age of the birds,
has more to do with the egg product
than the simple fact that they are
cross-bred.
But while different markets demand
different colored eggs there is 10 mar
ket on this continent, at least, that
demands dirty or stained egg. or
an egg that has been under a broody
hen for night or two, or one that
has been out in the sun for several
days. Gather daily at least and ship
at least weekly.

DAIRYMEN VERSUS THE DAIRY
Man Is Chiet Factor in Production of
Clean Milk, According to Medical
& eperimenters.

A number of American medical ex-
perts and experimenters in hygiene
made d study to determine the most
important factor in the production Of
clean milk-the dairy or the dairyman
and have come TO the conclusion
that the dairyman is the chief factor
and the dairy { ( secondary importance.
The clean dairyman may be trans,
ported from dairy to dairy and san
make clean mix wherever he goes.
1t is said that if all the nonessentials
or matters Of secondary importance
are eliminated the factors which even
alone are sufficient to produce under
the conditions found in ordinary
diaries a milk so clean that it will
nave with great regularity bacterial
count less than 10000 bacteria per
cubic centimeter are as follows:
Milking with dry hands into covered
milklos pals, the proper washing and
sterilization Of milking pals and milk
cans, cooling the MIX by placing the
cans in tanks Of cold water or ice va
ter, regular laboratory testing Of the
milk for bacteria, and payment based
on the laboratory tests.

DAIRY HERD IN WINTER
First Essential Is That Cows Be
Kept Comfortable.
Right Kind of Feed Goes Long Way
Toward Bringing About contented
State of Mind-SeVeral Inn
porsant Factors.
(By W. M. kELLY.)

Good stable management is an i'm
portart factor in determining the
profits from the dairy herd daring the
winter. The first essential is that the
cows be comfortable, because a COW
kept otherwise can neve-e O. her best
She must have a comfortable place
to lie down, stand up, move and
stretch her limbs and lick herself all
over the body. She must have sun
shine and plenty of light. She must
have pure air to breathe, and this
means that the stable must be pro-
vided with some system of ventila-
ton to give a frequent change of air
This need not be expensive, only a
little forethcught and a few dollars
worth of material and labor She
must have good pure water at least
twice a day, or better still. have an
automatic water basin at her side.
The stable should be cleaned daily
and be thoroughly disinfected. The
ceiling. floor and sides should be all
smooth and Of concrete construction
and the fixtures largely iron. 1t is not
expensive, and they are sanitary and
permanent.
Large, smooth concrete managers for
feeding are about the best we know
of today, Judgment and common
/ sense must be exercised in the meth
DDS of feeding and handing the cows
Fixed rules N feeding are not prac-
teal.
Overlooking is wasteful; underfeed
ing is unprofitablg. The cows must be
well nourished at all times, but if
given more than they need for main
tenance and production, they waste
il as a rule.
Never stir up dust or foul odors at
milking time. If you do a lot of it
is sure to get into the milk
Whether to feed the cows Just be-
fore milking is a much debated ques-
ton. 1t is not at all dangerous to
feed them "a little grain, provided you
stir up no dust or 1isagreeable odors.

eontented minds, and little of the
right kind of fed goes a long way
toward bringing about this contented
state of mind. Never clean the stables
just before milking for it will stir up
a tenfold worse odor than any feed
the COWS will eat.
Surrounding conditions have much
to do with the milkproducing value of
any ration.
Dairy cows cannot make as good
use of whole grain as they can Of
grain that has been ground.
In the generality of cases, heifers
with their first calf do not show as
high test OF butterfat as they do at
a more mature age.
A period Of rest before freshening
will usually produce a larger flow o.
milk than where the animal is r&lked
close up to calving.
A man can better afford to sell but
ter at the cost of production than to
sell grain, that is, when the selling
price of the butter includes the feeds
and labor at their market value.

The Sprees of Robin Redbreast in the
South.

The Sprees of Robin Redbreast in the
South.
WASHINGTON, Sept Is, 1916. Robin
Redbreast, hero of the story books and
we'll known model in the bird kingdom.
has been charged with leading a dual
life. In the North, sober, indus trious,
home loving father, the allegation is that
he spends his winters in the South in
riotous living. Even in Georgia, where
State prohibition prevails, he is reported
as having been seen drunk in public. On
coming North, however, it is said he
always reforms.
Asked for an opinion in the case of
! Cock Robin, Secretary Pearson of the
National Associate of Audubon Socle-
ties, recently in Washington and an au-
thority on birds and their habits, said he
, had frequently seen robins in the South
SO intoxicated that they could scarcely
flutter along the ground. This INSIDE
me amor is reported to occur in the South
ern States where grows the China tree,
also known as the pride of India" or
'Persian Lilac"
Robins sometimes eat the berries of
this tree which, having absorbed rain
water. form an alcoholic liquid which in
toxicates birds, causing them to lose con-
troll of themselves and fall to the ground.
| Thus, many birds are captured and eaten
by the negroes of the Sovth.
1t is said that, during the Civil War,
soldiers gathered China berries and dis
titled from them an alcoholic beverage,
! which became quite popular. The pro-
hibition people are said to be looking into
the trees alleged properties.
The China tree, scientists say, is very
common along the lower gulf coast coun-
try, where it grows very rapidly and is a
popular shade tree. Its abundant lilac
colored flowers appear early in the spring
and the leaves are retained late into
autumn, followed by clusters of yellow
berries.
Notwithstanding Robin Redbreast s
occasional sprees, the Audubon Societies
give him good general reputation in
an attractively illustrated little bulletin
which they are sending out from their
New York offices to anyone who will
send them two-cent stamp.

the country checked the Presid ant in his
headstrong course. The people have
not forgotten the reason Mr.. BRYAN re-
signed as Secretary Of State to become
Secretary Of Statements" He re-
signed because he would not support the
residents ultimatum to Germany; the
ultlmatum that was not sent. for after
Mr.. Bryan's resign alton the note to Ger
many was made public and Bryan said it
had been materially changed and was an
entirely different and more moderate
document than the one that had been
submitted to him and had caused him to
tender his resign alton. The one he re-
fused to sign be believed meant war.
Mr.. Bryan has never retracted his
charge that different note was sent to
Germany than the one submitted to him.
The people have not forgotten that
after conference with the President on
diplomatic complications of an acute ma
ture between our Government and one
OF the European belligerents. distin-
guished members of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee told Senators in
the cloak rooms and even stated to news
paper men that the President had become
very much excited during the conference
and in a vehement manner had said in
effect, at might not be a bad thing for
civilization and would hasten the end if
the United States would enter the war
on the side of the allies" The Presi-
dent was plainly told that neither Con-
gress nor public opinion would support
him In such an attitude. None of the
Senators at that conference have retract-
ed their statements of what the Presi-
dent said, other than half-hearted ex-
PLANTATION that did not explain, and neither
the President, nor any one in authority
for him, has denied it.
Early in mis- administration the Presi-
dent was ''too proud to fight even in
defense of national honor; later he was
looking for an opportunity to break into
the war; today he claims to be entirely
neutral; what his attitude will be tomor-
row nobody knows.
