AVOID WASTE. IN GOOD FOOD
Much Milk Spoils Because Kept Un.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Important amounts of perishable
foods are made dangerous or inedi-
BILE in households because they are ex-
posed unnecessarily to heat, germs,
dust, dirt, or to flies and other in
sects.
Much milk spoils quickly because it
is kept uncovered in warm kitchens
Close observance Of the doctrine
"Keep perishable food, especially
milk. cool. clean. and covered continu-
ously" may make a striking difference
in the food bills of many families.
In other cases, one or two vege-
tables. beets or carrots. for instanee,
not needed Immediately are thrown out
or allowed to spoil instead OF being
used in soups or combination dfshes.
Fruits which could be stewed and
kept are allowed to spoil. Vegetables
and fruits in quantities often are
stored in hot, damp. and poorly VEN
tilated bins and under conditions
which hasten whiting, fermentation
and decay.
Much food is being ruined by being
stored where flies or other insects, OF
rats and mice can get at it. Much CO.
real food is ruined because it IS not
protected against weevils or other In
sects.

SELECTING SOWS AND B0ARS
Quality Has Important Bearing on
High Dressing Percentage in
Breeding Animals.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
In choosing sowS and boars for
breeding. remember that quality has
an important bearing on high dress
ing percentage.
Evidences of quality are soft, fine,
silky hair; smooth. soft skin, free of
folds or wrinkles; bone Of medium
size, strong, and dense. The general
appearance of the pig should be smooth
and refined. These external signs are
an indication of the quality Of the
meat and of the percentage of offal
when the animal is dressed.

HONEY REGIONS OF COUNTRY
Attention Should Be Paid to Locality
Best Adapted to Commercial
Beekeeping Industry.
prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agr!culture.)

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agr!culture)
In choosing q place for commercial
beekeeping. attention should be paid
to the regions best adapted to this
industry. and it should also be remem-
berel that not all localities within
main region are equally valuable. The
chief honey regions of the United
States are Q) the white clover region
of the Northeast; (2) the southeast
crn region. west Of eastern Texas,
with a wide variety Of nectar sources;
(3) the alfalfa region of the West;
{4) the mountain sage region of south
ern California, and 90 the semiard
region of Texas and adjacent states.
In all of these regions commercial bee
keeping is practiced extensively, and
IN all of them. too, there is room for
a great expansion of the industry as
q commercial enterprise.
In addition to these larger regions,
many more restricted areas offer spe-
cial inducements to the beekeeper. 1t
IS possible to name here only a few
of these, simply to indicate the type
of localities in which heekecping is
profitable. Typical plants of restrict
ed distribution and of value for nee
tar are buckwheat, wild raspberry and
willowherb in the burned and cut
over forests of the North, Spanish
needle in Swampy lands, heartsease or
smartweed in cornfields of the middle
West, tupelo in southern swamps, and
linden or Eastwood.
, The valuable honey sources OF the
United States are so many that list
would be of considerable size, and If
all the plants from which honey bees
gather nectar were included, the list
would be formidable. From the ones
here mentioned it is evident now
even more than in normal times that
a beekeeper must examine his locality
carefully to see what honey plants are
at hand before embarking in CONNER
cial beekeeping. There is no difficulty
in finding suitable locations, however,
for thousands of acres of excellent
honey plants are inadequately sup
piled with bees.

TESTER MADE FROM SHOE BOX AND coaamon LAMP

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricekure.)
AS soon as q fertile egg is placed
under q hen, or in an incubator, de-
velopment begins. All eggs should be
tested at least twice during the period
OF incubation, preferably on the sew
enth and fourteenth days, and the in
fertile eggs and dead germs removed.
White eggs can be tested on the fourth
OF nth day, while the development in
eggs having brown shells often cannot
be seen By the use Of an ordinary egg
tester until the seventh day. Dead
germs soon decay and give off a bad
odor if allowed to remain Under the
hen. Infertiie eggs make good feed
for young chickens. Most incubator
companies furnish testing chimneys
with their machines which will fit ordi-
nary lamps. Electric or gas lamps may
be- used In box with hole slightly
smaller than an egg cut in the side of
the box at the same level as the light.
They may also be tested by sunlight,
or daylight, using shutter or curtain
with small hole in it for the light
to shine through.
Homemade Tester.
A good homemade egg tester, or
GAMBLER, can be made with large shoe
box, or any box that is large enough
to go over a lamp. by removing the
end and cutting hole little larger
than the size of a quarter in the bot
tom of the box, so that when it is set
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1918-05-01

over a kerosene lamp the hole in the
bottom will be opposite the blaze. A
hole the size of a silver dollar should
be cut in the top OF the box to allow
the heat to escape.
How Eggs Are Tested.
The eggs are tested with the large
end up, 80 that the size Of the air eel
may be seen aS well as the condition
Of the embryo. The testing should
take place in q dark room. The infer
tile egg when held before the srpaH
hole with the lamp lighted inside the
box will look perfectly clear, the same
as fresh one, while fertile egg viii
show q small dark spot, known as the
embryo, with mass Of little blood
veins extending In all directions, II the
embryo is living; II dead, and the egg
has boon ineubated for at lea6t 4f
hours, the blood settles away from the
embryo toward the edges Of the Holi
forming in some cases an irregular
circle OF blood, known as blood ring
Eggs vary in this respect, some show
ing only streak Of blood. All infer
tile eggs should be removed at the firsi
test. The eggs containing strong, liv
ing embryos are dark and well filles
up on the fourteenth day, and show 6
clear. sharp, distinct line Of demapea'
ton between the air cells and the
growing embryo, while dead germs
show only partial development, ane
lack this clear, distinct outline.
