Proper MANAGEMENT,

POULTRY keepers may easily reduce
the percentage of dirty or soiled eggs,

ample number means no more. than.

the keeper falls down is in failing to
supply enough nesting material and
floor litter.
obviously the nesting material must
De clean, or the eggs become soiled by
contact. and it 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.
ter1al replenished when necessary.
Plenty of nesting material prevents
Dreakage and insures clean eggs.
An ample and clean litter on the
moor is also very essential when an
AL clean product is sought. Particu.
iarly 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 than
dirty ones.

VENTILATION FOR HENHoUsE
Reason Given for So Many Apparent.
~ 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, II you care to. Put a
mouse in q 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-
fore 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 ap-
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
