PRACTICAL POINTS
FOR A P0ULTRYMAN
Whole Flock Should Be Kept in
as Near Perfect State of
Health as Possible.
Ry LESLIE E. CARD. Connecticut Az
ricu1tural CoIlege)

(By LESLIE E. CARD, Connecticut Ag-
ricu1tural CoIlege)
Keep the whole flock in as near
perfect state of health as possible, as
eggs are often infected from diseased
condition OF the hen and will not then
keep as we'll
Give enough shell-forming food to
the hens so that the shells will be
strong and uniform in thickness. Thin
shelled eggs do not keep well.
Make proper nesting places and
keep them clean so that the eggs may
not be infected while in the nests.
Gather the eggs each day.
Keep the gathered eggs in a dry,
cool room or cellar where the suns
rays do not fall directly upon them.
Preserve only absolutely fresh eggs.
Stale eggs will not keep in any pre-
sentative. Place eggs in the preserv-
alive within twenty-four hours after
the time they are laid. II in doubt
as to their freshness, candle them, or
see If they sink when placed in a
dish Of pure water. If an egg sinks
it is reasonably fresh.
Do not preserve dirty eggs nor eggs
that have been washed. The washed
egg will not keep because the shell
has been moistened, and the dirty eggs
will become tainted in flavor.
Do not try to keep eggs longer than
one year.
Do not use the same liquid more
than once. A new lot is cheaper than
a case Of spoiled eggs.
Rinse the eggs in water after re-
moving from the preservative- II in
good condition when removed from
water-glass solution they will usually
remain for at least two weeks.
Water-glass eggs are practically "a
good as fresh eggs for all cooking pur-
poses. If it is desired to boil them,
prick a small hole through the large
end Of the shell before placing them
in the water. The pores of the shell
have been sealed by the water-glass
solution and without this pin hole the
expanding air within the shell would
burst it

PRODUCTION OF BEEF CATTLE
On Account of Great Possibilities for
Profit Industry Is Receiving
Attention i'm East.

From the descriptive pamphlet Is
sued by an Angus breeder in New
York state, we clip the following:
Beef production on eastern farms
has not until recently received the at
tention that on account of its great
possibilities for profit it deserves. A
new and widespread interest is now
being given to the subject and the
tremendous opportunities it presents
are being made clear
cat the present level of prices for
beef, the returns to the producer
show good margin of profit, and the
best authorities are Of the opinion
that prices will be maintained and in
creased.

so they should have pasture and be
fed a well-balanced ration, and just
enough OF it to keep them in good con-
dition without permitting them to be-
come fat As narrowing time ap-
proaches the sows should be separated
in order to prevent their crowding o.
injuring one another.
The Herd Boar.
The herd boar is best handled by
giving him a pasture lot by himself
His feed should be liberal enough to
keep him in good breeding condition
only. This will be very light when he
is not in use for breeding purposes,
but during the breeding season his
feed should be increased. His ration
should consist Of some high-protein
feeds along with mill feeds and a lit
tie corn. The care OF the boar is im@
portant because Of his relative impor-
lance in the herd, and his care, quar-
tsrs, feed and watering should be care
fully seen to and provided.
Shotes.
The term shote is applied to all
swine from the time the pig reaches
weaving age until the fattening or
breeding age is reached. Pigs should
be weaned at from eight to thirteen
weeks, depending on whether or not
the sows are to be bred again. 1t is
always wise to have them taught to
eat well before weaving in order that
the rate of gain may not be checked.
Weaving should be done gradually,
the sow's feed being reduced to cause
her to dry up properly and at the
same time increasing the feed for the
pigs. The pigs at this age should have
a ration rather high in protein and
low in carbohydrates.
The boar pigs should be castrated
between six and eight weeks of age
before they are weaned. The young
er the pig the less the shock and pos
sibly the less check in growth. If a
pig is still sucking its dam when cas-
tration takes place the chances are
that it will be more thrifty and in
better condition than If castrated i'm
mediately after weaving. Spaying the
females is not advisable under mod
ern conditions and will not be found
profitable enough to justify the risk
of the operation.

PROPER SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Wool Does Not Afford All Protection
Necessary During Winter as GEN
orally Believed.

It was formerly quite generally
thought that the Sleeps wool afforded
it all the protection necessary during
the winter. If the fleece could be kept
dry it probably would retain enough
body heat to keep the sheep warm,
but this is impossible without shelter.
When a fleece once becomes wet 1t
takes a long time for it to dry out,
especially if the weather is cold
Much energy that would otherwise
be used for growth or fattening must
be used for evaporating this water.
The wet fleece also gives rise to IN
healthy conditions.
In Great Britain little housing is
necessary, but in most places in Amer
lea this would result in severe losses.

Good water is as essential as food

pure water is indispensable.
