SHOULD CANDLE YOUR EGGS
An Agricultural College Expert Says
Those Intended for Private
Trade Should Be Tested.

That eggs intended for private trade
should be tested or candled for quail
ity is the assertion of w. A. Lippin-
cott, professor of poultry husbandry
in the Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege.
with this in mind some sort of in
expensive Gambling device should be
had, "a said Professor Lippincott- "The
simplest kind of tester is made from
a piece of wrapping paper II by "a
inches, rolled to form a tube II inches
long. To inspect the egg the tube is
placed to the eye and then the egg
with the large end uppermost is so
placed that the sunlight will strike it.
MANY times a dark room can be
had but not the sunlight. An ordinary
shoe box and a bedroom lamp will be
just the thing. "A hole is made in the
top of the box and one at the bottom
for the free circulation of air about
the lamp. In front of the lamp flame
a hole the size of a quarter is made.
This Gambling device is efficient and
will in most cases meet the needs on
the farm
when electric lighting service is
available and a great many eggs are
to be candled, a round cylinder eight
inches high and four inches in diam
eter, with two holes in front and one
small one in the bottom, is attached
to large "T'' extending about IS
inches from the wall. The lamp cord
is dropped down the perpendicular
pipe to which the cylinder is at
tached- A 6O-cand1epower. lamp is
used to give the best results. With
this device four eggs may be handled
at a time by an experienced GAMBLER.
"A fresh egg has a pinkish tinge-
An egg that has a dark spot the size
of a dime on the yolk, shows that in
cubation has taken place and the egg
is no longer fit for food under ordi-
nary circumstances. In fact any eggs
that do not show a normal color
should be withheld from the market
basket. The best way to get acquaint-
ed with the various kinds of egg con-
tents is to break them out into a dish
and study the abnormal conditions

Kansas Women office Holders.

Kansas leads the rest of the United
States in the matter of women Office
holders. The late election swept a
lot of them into offices, sweeping out
of office, of course, an equal number
of men. But so far there has been
no complaint heard about the matter.
for the women elected recently are
said to rank very high in intelligence
and integrity.
Fifty-eight women were elected
county superintendent of instruction
in the state. The women lead in that
office, which seems to be a favorable
one for them. But there were also
elected SO registers of deeds, % clerks
of district courts, Is county treasurers,
5 county clerks, and 2 probate judges.
There is not another woman probate
judge in the nation.-Dayton News.
