PRODUCING EGGS IN SUMMER
Better Methods of Caring for Eggs
and Proper Packing Would Reduce
Needless Loss.

Losses in eggs during the summer
months fall directly upon the farmers
Dealers know that an average of Is tic
L. per cent of eggs marketed during
the summer is either a total or a par
tlal loss; hence prices, they say, are
based upon good eggs only.
Better methods of caring for the
eggs and better packing before they
are shipped would reduce this unnec-
essary loss.
A few definite rules for the pre-
vention Of loss in summer eggs are
formulated by the poultry division at
the Pennsylvania State college: ~
Produce sterile or infertile eggs. (2)
Keep eggs in cool, dry place. (3)
Have clean nests and plenty of them.
(4) Do not keep the eggs near kerosene
or decaying vegetables. They absorb
odors readily. 90 Market the eggs fire.

Loss of Chicks by Exposure Largely

1t is not good poultry management
to allow the mother hen to range I'm.
restricted with her chicks. With such
freedom the hen frequently takes her
brood through wet grass and, as a re-
suit, some are chilled and die, espe-
cially the weaker ones, which are like

chicks which follows such a practice
is large and mainly preventable. Fur
thermore, the food which a brood al

Chick losses Of this nature can be

STRICT STANDARD FOR EGGS
When Well-Established Produce of
First-Class, Fresh Article Will
Bring Highest Price.

(By c. S. ANDERSON, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins)
The day of Standardization in the
egg market is here. When eggs sold
for. cent apiece, the claim "an egg
is an egg" was accepted. With our
present increased prices, the con-
sumner naturally is asking for great
er quality and higher standardization
in the products he buys.
A number of our best markets are
now demanding that eggs shall weigh
at least "a ounces per Dozen They
must stand a Gambling test, be clean,
uniform in size, shape and color of
shell.
When rigid standards are well es-
tablished the producer of frst-class
fresh eggs will receive a premium
and will no longer have his prices
governed by the ungraded. poorly
handled product.

but this should not be attempted with
weak ones. Until the calf is In vigor-
Gus and thrifty condition no attempts
should be made to change to separated
milk. This change should always be
made gradually.
For the first four days, from eight to
twelve pounds of milk from the dam
should be fed. After this time the
milk may be from any COW or cows in
the herd, but preferably not from any
that are nearly dry. Milk containing
not more than per cent of butterfat
is considered the best for this pur.
pose.
At the beginning of the third week
the substitution of either skim or sep
arated milk may commence at the rate
OF one pound a day. The quantity of
the daily ration may be increased two
to four pounds, depending upon the
vigor of the calf. The quantity, how.
ever, should be kept well below the
capacity of the calf; that is, when it
does not drink eagerly what is offered,
the quantity should be cut down.

be confined until the chicks are
Weaned, though small yard may be
attached to the coop, if desired, to al
low the hen to exercise. The fence
can be raised from the ground far
enough to allow the chicks to go in
or out, but not high enough for the
hen to escape. BY using a coop the
chicks can find shelter and warmth
under the hen at any time and the
weaklings, after few days, may de-
velop into strong, healthy chicks.

One OF the biggest moves iowa I'd

principal express companies of the

me capital Of the new government
controlled company is to be $40 o00.-
ooo' which evidently covers only the
vaiue OF the assets needed in the con-

amount of watered stock has been
squeezed out.
Inc government, as operator of the
railroads, is to receive 5OA per cent
or the gross earning from the express
business, and of the profits remaining
from the other 49A per cent, after
expenses are paid, the company is to
pay per cent on the stock and any
profit beyond that is to be divided
with the government. This is prob-

In assuming control of the express

public operation in related utilities.
Several years ago the parcel post sys-
tenn was established by Congress
against the bitter opposition of the ex-
press companies. It soon developed |
that the government could carry par
cells much more cheaply and efficient

the express companies were saved
only by the fact that Congress set

Therefore these prof1teers and their

During the week the change should be
continued until by the end of the week
only separated milk is fed With espe.
cially vigorous calves the change to
separated milk may be made about a
week earlier.
After this time separated milk may
be fed entirely unless the calf is very
delicate. The quantity fed can be
gradually increased until 10 to 20
pounds day are given. 1t is usually
net economical to feed more than this
unless milk is very plentiful.
The time that milk should be discon.
tinued depends upon its cost in rela.
ton to the value of the calf, its breed,
size, vigor, etc. The season in which
1t reaches the age of six months and
the other feeds available at that time
must also be taken into consideration
Six months is probably a good average
age at which to wean calves from milk.
When the best of hay, silage, and
good variety of grains are available.
the calf may be weaned earlier than
when such feeds are lacking. The sea-
son of good, succulent pasturage pre-
sents the best possible condition for
weaving calf, and when this exists
the calf can be weaned earlier than
when it is lacking.
When the calf is two months old |
and If it is carefully watched, sour
milk, whether whole, skim, or butter
milk, may be fed without harmful re-
suits, provided the change from sweet
milk is made gradually It is not well,
however, to alternate between sweet

Any little person can go around
with a little hammer and peck and
knock. It is mighty. sorry business to
object to every agency that is help
ing to win the war because CHE thinks
one is SO superior that one can find
a. flaw. in everything. One does not
think that this organization that is
helping to win the war is absolutely
perfect: here is tiny speck Of flaw;
this other organization is not geared
up just as we would fix it if we had
been consulted; they forgot to dot
an i here and to cross a there, and
for that reason the boys may suffer
for lack of attention, so far as the
small objector is concerned. It is a
pity that some people are always look
ing at things through a little keyhole
and hence miss the larger view. Yer.
lily such people shall have their re:
ward, but it will hardly be measured
in terms of the respect and confidence
Of the people among whom they move
