SHIPPING EGGS IN CAR LOTS
Average Losses of From to 9 Per
Cent Can Be Greatly Reduced
by Proper Packing.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The amount of damage sustained in
marketing eggs in carload shipments
which, according to various reliable
authorities, averages from to 8 per
cent, has been reduced to less than l
per cent In tests conducted by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
covering a period of more than two
years and in which the eggs were ship
ped on an average of 1000 miles. By
following good, commercially prac-
ticable methods Of packing, storing,
and hauling, eggs can be transported
In carload lots with a total damage,
including "checks," "dents" and "leak-
ers," of less than 2 per cent.
In order to reduce egg losses to the
minimum they should be packed In new
standard cases symmetrically made
with 5, or preferably 6, 3-penny cement
coated nails at each corner of the sides
and bottom and at the center partition.
Cases made of cottonwood have, on the
whole, the greatest number of advan-
tages. Medium filters (three pounds,
three ounces) or heavier should be
used. 1t is absolutely necessary, also.
that the filler be perfectly new. Even
short-haul shipment into the packing
house should disqualify the filler for
further use. Suitable cushions of ex-
celsior, with fiat, should be placed
on the top and bottom of the case.
Corrugated board on the top of the case
affords practically the same protection
as the excelsior cushion, provided 1t
takes up the slack.
The load of eggs must be a solid unit
In the car, fitting without play. This
Is the most important factor In avoid
ing damage in transit. The amount Of
damage in properly loaded cars buffed
with straw is slightly less than in the
same cars buffed with wood. In plac-
ing the buffing, care should be taken
not to permit it to prevent circulation
of air, which Is essential to good re-
frigeration. When the straw buffing Is
placed at the bunkers and extends from
the top of the load to the floor of the
car, it is found that at least 80 per
cent of the refrigeration is lost.
Self bracing of the load by means
of suitable strips placed below the
cases proved much more satisfactory
than braces nailed to the car. Nailed
braces seldom arrive In place and fire.

Get New Kidneys !

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of filtering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings, is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of Appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay minute. At the first in

Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad-

You can almost certainly find immediate

all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.

hens in back yards Is an economic

the same time an essential part of the
campaign for increasing poultry pro-
duction.
The smallest and least favorably sit.
uated back yard, says the department,
offers opportunity to keep at least
enough hens to supply eggs for the
household. The number of hens needed
for that purpose is twice the number
Of persons to be supplied. Hence,
the smallest flock to be considered
consists Of four hens. When hens are
kept only to furnish eggs for the table
no male bird is needed.
A coop for flock Of four hens
should have a floor area of about 20
square feet, or about five feet per hen.
For larger flocks the space al
lowed per bird may be little less, be.
cause the space Is used In common,
and each bird has the use Of all the
coop except what her companions actu.
ally occupy. For the ordinary flock Of
10 to Is hens, the space allowed should
be about four square feet per hen.

WOMEN FARMING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Success Has Followed All Their
Efforts.

On the train from Edmonton to VIM
nipeg the writer took a seat beside a
soldier who had returned from the
front. On his breast he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was armless, and on
his left cheek he bore scar that he
would carry to his grave. He had
served his country faithfully and well.
At the first call for soldiers in August,
1914, he fastened to the recruiting
office, leaving his 320-acre farm, with
it's crop ready for harvest, a full
equipment of farm implements, plenty
of horses, and wife. The wife should
not be last on the list for she proved
the master of the situation, and 10y
ally took hold of the question of pro-
duction, while her husband was on his
way to fight the Hun. And she sue
ceeded. In 1915 she succeeded, and
again in 1916, and when her husband
returned in 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed, the Indebtedness of the farm
paid off, considerable addition to the
stock, and the land ready for 1917
crop. This was the story told by the
soldier, and wasn't he q proud man!
He was now ready to do what he could
to keep up the period of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women of Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
Of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba,
are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward, who, for the past fourteen years,
have farmed their own land, doing all
the regular work on the farm, such as
blowing, seeding, summer following
and reaping. They have been espe-
cially successful with stock, and have
a splendid herd of shorthOrns, both
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased a new
purebred stock bull for $780, Their
herd was last year increased by %
calves.
Miss r. M. Hillman of Keller, Sas-
katchewan, is another successful
woman farmer She has gone In ex-
tensively for grain growing, and farms
1,120 acres. She also owns some Of
the finest PercherOn horses In Sas-
katchewan.
The prairie now boasts of many
women who have had more or less sue
cess, though few are farming on the
same large scale as Miss Hillman and
the Misses Forward. These women
have demonstrated, and are still dem
onstrating, that a versatile woman
may be just as good and successful a
fa.mer as her brother
There are other women, too, on the
Canadian praires, who, though they
have not had thrown upon them the re-
sponsibilities of running a farm"
have been decided factors in making
the farm a success. They assist their
husbands by keeping the farm ac-
counts, reducing the grocer's bills by
their management of the poultry and
butter taking care of the house, and,
very often, proving good advisers in
the economic management of the men
and general conduct of the farm work.
