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 S45,000,00o every year from bad
eggs. This loss can be prevented by
better handling and marketing.

disappeared suddenly and they sup
posed she would be back in a day or
two; but time went on and she didn't
return, so they left the house, after re-
porting her absence to the landlord.
They were not much surprised by her
disappearance, they said, as she was
forever doing strange and unaccount-
able things. The neighbors knew that
this was true, SO no suspicion was
aroused.
Annals brother appeared on the
scene, and, after going through the
house with the officers, declared that
many small articles had been stolen.
Here proceedings halted. 1t seemed
impossible to shed ray of light upon
the mystery. Raurchmaier and Stein
er were questioned over and over, but
all that they could tell was unimpor-
tant. =.
Time passes at Augsberg, as else
where. and a new year was ushered in
before a solution of the problem ap-
peared. The house occupied by Anna
had stood vacant since her disappear
ance and one day in January, 1922, a
laundress of the neighborhood wanted
TO dry some linen, and it occurred to
her that the garnet of the vacant house
would be good place
She went into the house slyly but
calmly, with her basket, and ten min
utes later she emerged from 1t as
though shot from gun. She screamed
''murderr' at the top of her voice, and
the neighborhood was aroused. She
had made u hideous discovery in the
old garret, and when she had told her
story the officers were sent for and q
procession climbed the stairs of the
Holman home, and proceeded into the
sttic. There the body of the missing
woman was found, but in such IA con-
dition that even the officers, who were
old soldiers, were shocked
The unfortunate woman had been
dismembered. Portions of her body
were found in an old heap of rags in
one corner; another part in the chin
ney; another under n loose board in
the floor. For some reason decom-
position had not occurred, and 1t was
easy to identify the scattered body as
that of Anna Holman, although the
head had disappeared.
A medical officer found under heap
of rubbish the left arm of the woman.
1t was doubled together at the elbow
Joint, and when he tried to straighten
1t, brass ring fell to the floor. 1t was
the first and only valuable clew to the
murderer. The doctor reasoned that
1t had fallen from his finger while he
worked, and had been held in place on
the arm by muscular contraction. The
ring was turned over to the magistrate
who took charge Of the case.

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 rotten egg and pay accord

Gather your eggs daily and keep
them In n cool place. Market them as
often as possible-Gt least once a

$15,ooo,oo0 Annual Loss.
Fertile eggs cause great loss--a
loss estimated by the government ex-
perts at $15.000.o00 year
Two years ago the United States
government experts conducted an ex-
pertinent In Kansas to compare the
loss from fertile and infertlle eggs.
How Experiment Was Conducted.
Ten thousand eggs, collected from
different farms, were used in the ex-
pertinent. Half were fertile and half
We're infertlle. 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 pau
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 un.
der exactly the same conditions. In a
week the eggs We're 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 per cent of
the infertile. This makes 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. II you have an open
front or a 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

POULTRY AND EGG CROP

Almost every farmer keeps some
poultry. The trouble is he doesn't
make the poultry keep him. Too many
old hens that lay but few eggs and
then want to set. Whenever the price
of eggs gets high, the old hens go on n
strike. They lay in the henhouse when
they please, but too much of the time
prefer to lay their eggs out in the
fence corners. That means they are
not gathered until they are stale-and
In consequence low price for the
eggs.
The average farmer considers poul-
try raising a "side ISSUE" job for
women and children-a sort of neces-
sary nuisance in order to provide fresh
eggs and toothsome roast or fry. But
after all, this "side issue" branch of
the farming business, poultry, nets an
annual return in the United States of
over $600,000oo0 or enough money to
build two Panama canals every year.
The Panama canal has been written in
to the pages of history as one of the
greatest achievements of modern times
In Its construction our greatest minds
in the science of engineering, art and
medicine were employed. Yet the farm
hen with little or no care closes her
yearly account with balance of more
than half billion dollars. Only n
very small portion of this vast sum of
money is earned by the well-cared-for
commercial hen. Ninety per cent of 1t
goes to the credit of the much neglect
ed flocks ranging at liberty on the
farms of the country.
Hen Not Appreciated.
None of us half appreciate the
money-earning possibilities of the hen.
For example, the cotton growing states
during recent slump in the cotton
market due to the European war.
Joined other cotton producing states in
an appeal to congress for federal aid
to tide them over the financial diff
Guilty. The appeal was for S150,0O0, 900
to be distributed in the South through
the medium of the federal reserve
banks. If these one-crop states had
reckoned with the farm hen they
would have saved themselves the hui
initiation of asking Uncle Sam for help.

Why not produce eggs In the winter?

In January eggs sell on an average
for about 30 cents per dozen. The
price decreases until in April eggs are
bringing only IS cents. A large number
OF eggs are put In cold storage at this
time and this keeps the price fairly
nigh considering the great amount of

What the average
farm hen produces

We will take Arkansas to Illustrate the
point.
The average county in Arkansas con-
tains about 5000 farms. If on each
farm there had been 100 hens, each
laying through the year eight dozen
eggs, only about a quarter of an egg Il
day, and the eggs had sold for 20 cents
dozen, the income per farm would
have amounted to $160. At this rate
the 5000 farms in each county would
have produced $4SOO0O. Based on these
figures, the state of Arkansas with her
IA counties, would have produced near
ly $4,000, ,0O0-dollar egg crop. This
sum Is far in excess of the money Ar
kansas would have received as her
share of the federal loan and more
than half of the value of the annual
cotton crop.
This S35,000.0O0 distributed among
the banks of Arkansas would have re-
lieved one of the most critical periods
In the economic history of the state.
The earning power of the hen exceeds
that of all other farm animals-the
dairy COW not excepted.
Profit in Poultry.
Let us not overlook this opportunity.
Any farmer can have poultry. He can
make more clear profit out of poultry
than the commercial poultryman can
make.
First. the care Of poultry fits well into
the other farm work; the investment is
small feed is cheap; the chickens con-
vert the waste products of the farm
into profits. During the greater part

caused Peter Bamiller, employed in
the local yards of the Pennsylvania
Railroad to be sent to his home, 1917
North Third street, with a badly
crushed foot, and several hours later
his son, William, of the same address,
employed as a car inspector in the
same yards, to be sent to the Harris
burg hospital with a broken nose and
badly lacerated left hand. The
father was driving a truck when his
accident occurred. The front wheel
passed over his right foor, ne was
taken to a nearby physicians office
and later removed to his home. The
son fell over pile of coal in a car.
