ESSENTIAL IN GRADING EGGS
Gambling Is Only Method by Which
Producers Can Be Certain OF
Quality OF Product.

prepared by the United. States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Grading is becoming more and
more customary in the sale and pur-
chase of eggs, and a knowledge Of
Gambling is essential to egg grading.
1t is only by Gambling that producers
and. shippers Of eggs can be certain
that they are complying with federal,
state and other regulations, because
by this method one can determine the
freshness and quality of eggs. The
process, in simple terms. is to hold an
egg before a shaded light in a dark
room, and by noting certain character
tstics seen through the semitranspar-
ent shell to determine it's edible and
marketable qualities.
Farmers with only a few eggs to
market may imprOvise GAMBLER by
placing a stovepipe over a kerosene
lamp, cutting a small hole in the pipe,
level with the light. The eggs is held
in a slanting position at the opening.
It is twisted few times to the right
and left and then from end to end, 50
that its entire contents may be visible.
Care should be taken that the fingers
or hand do not conceal small blem-
ishes, which otherwise would be dis
closed by the light. The beginner
should study carefully the general for
nation of an egg, as this detailed
knowledge is necessary for the appli-
cation of the standards Of various
grades and qualities.
The yolk ranges in color from light
yellow to orange, and is occasionally
olive green. The eggs with olive green
yolks are less desirable because of this
color, but are considered edible. The
yolk is contained in a delicate men,
brane and on it's surface is a small
ught-colored circular area called the
germinal disk, from which the chick
develops. The yolk always floats in
the white with the chick spot on top.
Around the yOlk lies a small quantity
Of thin white and then a heavy layer

KEEP SHEEP FLOCK
TO CONTROL WEEDS

prepared by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.)
One of the best, and cheapest
ways to control weeds on farms
is to keep a flock of sheep. In
addition to controlling weeds
without cost, sheep will render
profit by producing nutritious
food and wool, and will assist
materially in meeting demands
on the nation for meat and wool
production. If weeds are not
permitted to grow and develop
leaves they will die, but it
would require great amount
Of hard labor to keep most
weeds under control by this
method. Sheep will keep the
weeds down and the more
weeds they eat the less will be
their cost of upkeep, and the
greater will be the supply of
food released for other stock.
Many rough or permanent grass
pastures that require moving
can be kept clean by the use of
sheep, while at the same time
the cattle-carrying capacity of
the pasture is increased.

COOLING TANKS FOR CREAM
Water Ts a Much Better Agent Than
Air Because 1t Is a Better Con-
ductor Of Heat.

| prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
After separation, the cream should
be placed Immediately in cold water
and stirred occasionally from the bot
tom with a stirring rod until the tenn
perature is below go degrees Fahren-
heit at least, and preferably below so
degrees Fahrenheit. Fresh cream
should never be mixed with cream
from previous skimmings until it has,
been thoroughly cooled, as the addition
of warm cream raises the temperature
of the older cream and hastens sour
ing. Water is q much better cooling
agent than air, because it is q bet
ter conductor of heat and is capable of
absorbing greater quantities of heat.
! In cooling, the best results are obtain
ed when ice water is used. A dairy
farmer in a section where natural ice
is produced should have an ice house
and should fill it each winter. If we'll
water alone is used, it is necessary to
change it several times a day. For
+ that reason the cooling tank should be
between the we'll and the stock tank,
so that all water pumped for the stock
passes through it. A spring or stream
of cold water is very satisfactory, be-
cause it performs the work cOntinu-
Qs1sly without attention.
Cooling tanks of various types may
be obtained from dairy-supply houses
or may be made on the farm. A salts
factory wooden tank may be made of
o1onod 0uprocS hoorda T0r0nor-
ly bolted together, painted on the out
side and oiled on the inside. Con-
crete makes a most serviceable tank
which can be constructed by anyone
accustomed to working with that ma
terial. A very simple and cheap cool
ing tank may be made also from
two or more vinegar barrels-One for
each cream can. Whatever the style
of tank, the pipe Conveying the water
to it should be large enough to carry
the full stream from the pump. Upon
entering, the inlet pipe should be car
ried to within few inches of the bot
tom by means of an ell and a short
piece of pipe, so that the cold water
may be conducted to the bottom, thus
forcing the warmer water at the
top through the outlet pipe. The out
let pipe should be at the end of the
tank opposite the inlet pipe, of slight
ly larger diameter, and so high that
the water will be nearly at the tops of
the cans. Lock nuts and sheet pac'
ing may be used to make tight joints
where pipes enter and leave the tank.
Cream cans should stand on cleats in
the tank, so that water may circulate
under as we'll as around them.
In order to afford protection from
the heat, a cooling tank should have a
tight cover and be placed in the dairy
house or under shed, where it will be
protected from the hot winds and di-
rect rays of the sun. If water does

Not only is there a flock Of poultry
