TO DETERMINE FRESH EGGS
One Can Generally Tell by Color, Pro-
vided 1t Is Not Too OId-Water
Test Is Favored.

How do you tell when an egg is
fresh? How do you determine that an
egg is stale?
One can generally tell by the color
of an egg when it is fresh, provided it
is not more than two or three days
old. The shell of fresh egg is clear,
bright and is not easily mistaken for
stale egg. Nevertheless this is not
an infallible guide.
Eggs kept in water glass for some
time will stay at the bottom when
immersed in water. Eggs from ten to
fourteen days old kept in a room at a
temperature of about 65 degrees. when
immersed in a pail of water, will turn
on end and begin to rise to the top.
AS the age of the egg increases it will
rise in water more readily. If kept in
a cool place it is said that nearly a
month will elapse before the egg viii
rise to the top in water.
When an egg is held to the light, If
it is old or stale an air-space can lie
seen in it. The air-space increases
as the egg gets older. This is called
Gambling and it is the surest way of
determining whether or not eggs are
fresh.
If stale egg is shaken it's contents
will run together and a sound can be
heard. Eggs once frozen when they
thaw out will shake so the sound can
be heard.
Whether an egg was laid the same
day to be eaten can be determined if ii
is boiled hard. In this case the skin will
adhere to the shell. 1t will not peel
easily. Perhaps this test would hold
for an egg boiled the same way a day
after it was laid.--Arizona Experiment
Station.

TASK OF SHEDDING FEATHERS
Heavy Drain on Constitution of Fowl
Can Be Aided by Feeding High
ly Protein Foods.

The shedding of feathers is heavy
drain on the constitution of the fowl
because it is necessary to manufacture
a new coat. The making of new
feathers can be greatly aided by feed
ing highly protein or meat foods. The
ordinary grains like wheat, corn and
oats do not contain enough protein.
Meat scraps from the house or COM
mercial beef scraps are necessary if
best results are to be obtained. If a
fowl is thoroughly chilled and thereby
weakened by late melting during cold
weather, she will find it difficult to
recuperate until late winter or early
spring. BY giving her extra care she
can be started laying much earlier in
the winter.

CLEAN OUT DRoPPINGS DAILY
Is Necessary-Sawdust Quickly
Absorbs Moisture.

The modern dropping board" ne
cessitates the use of some sort of ma
terial undlf the perches so that the
task of removing the droppings may
be accomplished more easily and quick
ly, says a writer in an exchange.
Different poultry men use different
materials. Some sprinkle a thin lay
er of sand or earth under the
perches, while others use hay, chaff,
leaves, sawdust or other such sub
stances. Sawdust is about the best
material that can be used when it can
be obtained in sufficiently large guam
titles without difficulty. My expert
ence has shown that this material
quickly absorbs all moisture from the
manure, and it is not chilling to the
feet of the fowls, while, by it's use, ii
is an easy matter to save the drop
pings to use for fertilizing, as sawdust
mixes well with the manures.
No matter what material is used
1t, together with the accumulated
droppings, should be swept out with
a broom every few mornings. When
sawdust is used it is advisable to
sprinkle it with water before sweep
Ing, in order to settle the dust, which
otherwise. will be found obnoxious
to the person doing the sweeping.
How often to clean out around the
roost is question that can be de-
cisively answered by saying that the
most successful poultry men clean
out the most frequently. Many lead.
ing poultry farmers attend to this
every day. Maybe this is a little
oftener than necessary, but it is play
ing on the safe side.

Why not take better care of your
hens and have them working for you
during the winter instead Of keeping
them at a loss during this period?
You can produce winter eggs. Put
your hens in a warm, comfortable, we'll
ventilated house, give them nitrogen
Gus food and furnish water, grit and
oyster shell.
OF course, 1t will be some trouble to
increase your egg production. Don't
expect results if you go at things spas
medically, doing one or two things and
letting the rest go.
Fowls need animal protein food
Bugs and worms furnish this in the
summer; buttermilk and beef scrap
make good substitutes in the winter.
This chart gives the results of an
Ontario experiment. Twenty-Five hens
receiving buttermilk in their ration
made $11 profit in eight months; a
similar flock fed beef scrap made $40
profit, while flock receiving no meat
or milk was kept at loss of So.
A similar experiment in Indiana
shows that hens fed skim milk or beef
oSlap u VI 9l per ucn III
nually, while those receiving neither
beef scrap or milk were kept at loss
of four cents per hen.
If you feed beef scrap, get good quail
ity, testing so or 65 per cent protein.
Be careful not to feed too much.
Few people understand that eggs are
| almost as perishable as meat or milk
They belong to the same class of food
| but just because they are inclosed In
hard shell, people think they will
stand almost any kind of treatment.
Government experts estimate loss
of $45,000,000 every year from bad
eggs. This loss can be prevented by
better handling and marketing.
| Loss From Shrinkage.
| Five per cent of the eggs in the
United States are lost through shrink

clover, surplus garden stuff, gleanings
from the grain fields, litter about the
barn and feed lots, and more important
than all else, they consume weed seeds,
insect enemies to crops and other pests.
Record of Eighteen Ohio Farm FIocks.
Two years ago the Ohio experiment
station made study of the profits in
farm poultry. Records of Is typical
farm hocks were carefully kept.
These flocks ranged in number from
SO to $40, some were purebreds; others
were mongrels. They were kept, fed
and tended just as the farmer had been
caring for them before the experiment
station asked him to keep record.
Here are the results of the investiga-
ton. For the sake of comparison, we
have figured the profit from each flock
on the basis of 100 hens in flock.
The best five fiocks yielded respect
lively $247, $154, $153, SLOT and $104
| per hundred hens, while the poorest
five fiocks yielded $67, see, $63, $62 and
| SIS respectively. In no case was there
loss. The average profit per hundred
hens of the IS fiocks was $S7.
Poultry Profits.
| One hundred hens are worth hun
bred dollars-just about the price of a
good dairy COW. Records Of the cow
testing association in Iowa show that
the average dairy cow makes profit
Of $33. Which would you rather do
milk two or three cows or take care of
a hundred hens?
Most of us fail to realize that poul-
try is profitable-the wife pays the
grocery bills and every now and then
gets a new piece of furniture or a new
dress with the Chicken money" But
probably not one farmer in a thousand
could tell just how much his chickens
are paying.
You probably have about a hundred
hens-that's the average size of tie
farm f1ocks in the United States. How
much profit are they producing? Ar
they above the average or below? Arr
you getting $247 or SIS?
Produce Eggs When Price is High.
Sixty per cent of the eggs are pro
duced in March, April and May. Their
the number drops gradually until only
one per cent is produced in November

evaporating through the shell. The
higher the temperature and the more
circulation of air there is the faster
the evaporation takes place. Eggs
grow stale in warm poultry houses, in
hot kitchens, on the farm or in the
cupboards Of the consumer. Egg deal
ers count that three stale eggs are
equal to a rotten egg and pay accord
ingly.
Gather your eggs daily and keep
them in cool place. Market them as
often as possible-at least once a
week-better twice a week.

Fertile eggs cause a great loss-a
loss estimated by the government ex-
perts at $15,000,000 a year.
Two years ago the United States
government experts conducted an ex-
pertinent in Kansas to compare the
loss from fertile and infertile eggs.
How Experiment Was Conducted.
Ten thousand eggs, collected from
different farms, were used in the ex-
pertinent. Half were fertile and half
were infertile, and every egg was alb
solutely fresh when it entered the ex-
pertinent.
These eggs were kept on the farm
under ordinary farm conditions. Some
were stored in parlors, some in kitch-
ems, some in cellars and some in pam
tries. Some were put in nests, some
under laying hens and some under sit
ting hens. The same number of fertile
and infertile eggs were always put I'M
der exactly the same conditions. In a
week the eggs were collected and sold
to the local grocery store where they
were candled. They were then shipped
to ST. Louis, where they were again
candled.
Results of Experiment.
While on the farm % per cent OF the
fertile eggs were spoiled for food. as
compared with only 10 per cent Of the
infertile ones. On the way to market
IA per cent of the fertile ones were
spoiled as compared with 9 per cent Of
the infertile. This makes a total of
43 per cent of the fertile eggs unfit for
food as compared with only % per cent
of the infertile ones-a difference of 10
per cent. Notice that the greatest loss
in both fertile and infertile eggs is on
the farm.
Fresh air is as good for hens as 1t
IS for people. If you have an open
front or partly open front poultry
house you need not worry about the
ventilation.
Fresh air does not hurt hens, but
drafts are injurious. The north, east
and west sides of the coop should be
tight to prevent drafts.
Get the habit of cleanliness and you
need not fear lice and poultry dis
eases.

main on the old runs the danger of
contamination is always present.
To treat for intestinal parasites
feed should be withheld for IL hours,
and one of the following remedies
given:
Powdered areca nut, 80 to As grains
for an adult bird; powdered areca nut
10 grains for immature chicks.
This can be mixed in a wet mash
and fed so that each gets an equal
amount. 1t can be fed to older birds
in capsules which can be forced down
the gullet.
Turpentine, one to three teaspoon
fuls, depending upon the age of the
bird, is also effective. 1t can be made
less severe by mixing with an equal
amount of cottonseed oil, but if inef-
fective, should be used full strength.
The best method of giving turpentine
is by forcing it through a small fiex-
ible catheter that has been oiled and
is passed through the throat into the
crop.
Good results have been reported also
with the use of tobacco dust, using
five to ten grains to a bird. This can
also be fed in a wet mash.
The droppings containing the worms
should be burned or buried deep to
prevent the chicks from picking them
up.
