PROPER WEIGHT OF AN EGG

An eggs should weigh about two
ounces and consist OF shell and two

When an egg becomes stale. the con-

FOWLS GIVEN NO ATTENTION
On Great Many Farms Chickens Must
Rustic for Themselves-tien Is
Not Properly Fed.

Farmers, as a class, are failures as
poultry raisers, In spite of the fact
that a large portion of our poultry
and eggs come from the farms. On
nine out OF ten farms poultry must
either rustic or partially starve, and
often both.
A great many farmers pay so little
attention TO feeding their poultry be-
cause they look upon 1t as only
side line to save waste and not as a
profitable department of their busi-
ness. They will not give the hens the
benefit of n test as to the returns they
will give for the same care In feed.

her needs at all.

COLDS AMONG YOUNG STOCK
Trouble 10 Usually Caused by Poor
Ventilation and Overcrowded
Sleeping Quarters.

Fall colds among young stock are
usually caused by unventilated or over
crowded sleeping apartments. In this
climate all houses should have the
open front. See that the young birds
roost. Never permit them TO bunch up
on the floor at night. Sometimes a
sudden change In the weather will
start the young birds to sneezing In
spite Of every precaution. When this
happens a heavy cold may sometimes
be averted by the following treatment: (:
Mix half tenspoonful Of spirits OF
camphor with a tablespoonful Of sugar
and dissolve the whole In two gallons
OF water, giving the birds no other
drink for few days. Camphorated
oil or petrolatum rubbed into the nos
trils Is also recommended.

hand lamp after the ends have been
removed. The box should have q hole
cut In IL on level with the fame OF

An egg that shows any defect should
not be marketed.
Violate Federal Law.
Only first-class eggs can be mar
keted successfully by parcel post. The
shipping Of bad eggs not only will
cause dissatisfaction or even loss OF
the customer, but, in interstate ship
ments, will violate the federal food

for any bad eggs amohg those mar

Persons desirous of building up a
business Of marketing eggs by this
method should hatch their chicks early
enough to have them begin laying In
the fall season, when eggs are scarce
and high priced. This will also result
in more evenly distributed production
throughout the year.

RETURN EMPTY CASES

Is Interested.

prepared by tho United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Many shippers will doubtless find 1t
desirable and economical to have the
customer save the containers and re-
turn them after a sufficient number
have accumulated. When so returned
the postage in empty cases still In u.s.
able condition Is less than the cost of
new ones. The customer should re-
ceive credit for the postage required
TO return them. Many OF the contain
ers are made In "knocked-down" style,
|. e., to take apart and fold so they
can be made into u much smaller pack
age or parcel. Containers which are
knocked down to be returned should
be packed In such way that there
will be no edges or points projecting
without support or protection, as such
projections are likely to be broken or
crushed In the mails.
The cost OF the container Is neces-
sarily included In the price of the eggs
TO the consumer. 1t Is therefore to
the interest of the consumer to take
proper care OF containers ana TO save
for return all that are In usable con-
ditlon. Since the return OF containers
will have some effect on the price of
the eggs, the proper spirit of thrift
should cause the consumer to take care
of all returnable empties and TO send
them back In accordance with what
ever agreement or understanding may
exist between the producer and him
self.

THROUGH SERVICE
FROM DULUTH
Duluth Business Men Get Promise
of Through Service Between
Sioux City and Duluth.

The proposition of through train
between Duluth and Sioux City over
this branch of the Great Northern
is again being revived The St. Cloud
Journal Press had the following item
about the proposed new service In
last weeks issue.
Duluth has been making an ag-
gressive fight for better service from
the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific roads. 1t has finally succeeded
in at least getting hearing from
the Great Northern officials. Pas
senger Agent Calvin Stone of the
Great Northern went Duluth recently
and told committee representing the
Zenith City that he was sent there by
President Kennedy to learn what Du-
luth wanted. He was promptly inform
ed by such men as G. S. Mitchell, H.
G. Strong, Charles P. Craig, G. G. Hart
ley, Mile Bunnell and H. B. Fryberger,
that Duluth wanted Sunday train to
Grand Forks and also wanted thru
service to Willmar and St. Cloud, as
it had some years ago.
Mr.. Stone will make this recon-
mendation to his supervisors, but he
could probably not be made until
after Director McAdoo's revision Of
the train service had gone into effect.
The Great Northern has direct
line from St. Cloud to Duluth, but it
has no thru passenger service, and If
the residents of one city want to visit
the other it is necessary to 60 around
by the Twin Cities, taking more time
and costing more money It is hoped
that the change will be made, to give
| St. Cloud and Duluth direct service.
Both cities have contributed in a big
way to the prosperity Of the Great
Northern, and little reciprocity
| would be welcome.
incidentally the officials of that road
seem more ready to comply with re-
quests, now when the government
has control than they were when
they could have acted without any
McAdoo sanction" -Milaca Times.
