HAVE CLEAN NEST MATERIAL
Percentage Of Dirty or soiled Eggs
May BE Materially Reduced by
Proper Management.

Poultry keepers may easily reduce
the percentage of dirty or soiled eggs,
and losses entailed to Insignificant
figures. First, an ample number OF
nests is. of course, necessary, but an
ample number means no more, than,
and probably not as many as, are usu-
ally directed by poultry writer's. Lay
ing houses are, as rule, provided
with sufficient number. but where
the keeper falls down is in failing to
supply enough nesting material and
floor litter.
Obviously the nesting material must
be clean, or the eggs become soiled by
contact, and 1t must be sufficient in
quantity, or the eggs are often broken
by dropping upon the hard floor of the
nest.
In houses where the dropping boards
are above the nests, and the custom
is to sand the boards, small stones
often drop into the nest and breakage
results when newly-laid eggs fall upon
them. The condition OF nests should
be noticed daily, and the nesting ma
terial replenished when necessary
Plenty of nesting material prevents
breakage and insures clean eggs. )
An ample and clean litter on the
floor is also very essential when an
Al clean product is sought. Particu
larly is this true when the hens are
allowed outdoors during wet weather
The litter acts as food mat for the
/ hens on their way to the nests.
Clean eggs bring better prices thar
dirty ones.

GOVERNMENT SELLS COAL
TWO Big Fuel Stations in Panama Zone
Have Thriving Business With
Passing Steamers.

At the rate of 10000 tons trip two
big GOLFERS are now carrying coal to
the government coal plant at Cristo-
bal, Canal Zone. The Golfers are the
Achilles and the Ulysses. They are
500 feet long and 80 feet beam, the
largest coal carriers SO far constructed
here.
The Golfers start from Norfolk with
their cargoes. They are fast twin
screw vessels and make the passage
to Cristobal in about five days. Each
is expected to make twenty trips a
year and accordingly they will carry
100000 toms each to the government
coaling stations.
Tho Achilles and Ulysses were built
by tho Maryland Steel company at
Sparrows Point, Md, at a cost OF
about 81, 100000 each. They are COM
manded by former captains Of Panama
liners
There are two government coal
plants at Panama, ono at Cristobal
and the other at Balboa. The larger,
ct Cristobal, is capable of holding
10000 tons, not including \ reserve
store of 10000 tons for the use of the
navy. Government agents say that
they will always be able to sell fuel to
merchant ships at cheaper rate than
private concerns.

VENTILATION FOR HENHoUsE
Reason Given for So Many Apparent
Iy Healthy Fowls Dropping Dead
OF Their Roosts.

1t has been proved by experiments
that impurities given Off from the
lungs of one animal are much more
poisonous to another animal than they
are to the animal giving them off.
You can prove this for your own
satisfaction, IL you care to. Put a
mouse in a self-sealing fruit Jar and
make the cover tight In few min
utes he will begin to show signs of
suffocation. Then without admitting
any more fresh air than you can help,
introduce a second mouse into the
jar. This second mouse will die be-
foro the first one, though he was fresh
when the first one was nearly suffo-
Gated. The reason for this is that the
second mouse did not die of suffoca-
ton, but was killed by the poison
given Off from the lungs Of the first
one.
1t is entirely possible that this is
the reason why SO many hens in APP
parently good physical thrift drop
dead off the roost. The ventilation
is poor and the birds become poisoned
by the gases from the lungs of their
perchmates.

During the FIRST week of December
q hunter, several miles east of Henry
eta, Okla, shot and killed Harle-
quin duck, a rare species In this part
OF the Southwest Attracted by the
birds beauty of plumage and mark
ings, the hunter carefully scrutinized
his trophy, on one leg Of which he
found a metal band marked "a Ber-
lin Zoo" The duck was mounted by
a Guthrie taxidermist, and is now the
property of Mr.. Walter Wilson of the
First National bank of Henryetta. The
probable route of migration of this
duck IL regarded as of interest to or
nithologists. Crossing the northern
Atlantic in its flight from Germany,
the duck reached the shores OF Amer
lea, ard then proceeded far inland on
its sou.hward fight. Naturally. the
noise ard disturbance of war in Eu-
rope IL attributed as a possible reason
for the ducks long journey to a new
land. 1t is hardly thought that the
vcyagcr came across Asia by way OF
Boring Eea.
