MARKET FOR GUINEA
EGG NOT ATTRACTIVE
Cannot Compete Successfully
With Ordinary Hen.
Owing to Natural Tendency Of Fowl
to Nest In WelI.Hidden Place,
Many Of Eggs Are Not Found
Until Nearly Spoiled.

AS profitable egg producers, guinea
hens cannot compete with ordinary
hens, but during the latter part Of
spring and throughout the summer
they are persistent layers. The eggs
are smaller than hen eggs, weighing
about Id ounces each. while eggs of
the common fowl average about two
ounces each; consequently guinea eggs
sell at price somewhat lower.
There Is no special market for
guinea eggs, and they are usually
graded by dealers as small hens eggs.
Owing to the natural tendency of the
guinea hen to nest In patch of weeds
or some other well-hidden place, many
of the eggs are not found until they
are no longer fit for market. The
shells of guinea eggs are so thick and
often so dark that 1t is difficult to test
them by Gambling. For this reason,
and also because the eggs are small.
dealers do not like to handle them.
For home use. however, guinea eggs
can be made to take the place Of hen
eggs, and many regard them as supe-
rior In flavor. In composition the
greatest difference is that the shell Is
thicker and the yolk makes up a slight
ly larger proportion Of the total egg
contents than In the case of hen eggs.
poultry specialists Of the United States
department of agriculture say.

When the A. Il. f, packed all Its

cries of the letters of petite Jean and

the one-time godfathers Of the expe-

the war orphans of France.
so far ten posts have adopted Or

LEGION TO AID IMMIGRANTS
Plan Mapped Out by American Com
mission Of Veterans Organization
to Extend Welcome.

Immigrants entering the United
States will be received and welcomed
by members Of the American Legion,
according to plans mapped out by the
National American commission of the
veterans organization. Arrangements
have been made whereby the local post
of the community which Is the ul-
innate destination of the immigrant
will get in touch with him Immediately
upon his arrival
Information as to the names and
destinations Of all immigrants will be
secured at the port Of New York and
forwarded Immediately to the thou
sands Of Legion posts In order that
they may prepare for the reception Of
the new arrivals.
"In some cases the immigrant may
be going directly to friends says
the announcement Of the American
commission, but in many cases he
will he friendless and will be sure to
have great trouble. He may need as
sistance In finding out where he can
learn English. where he can send his
children to school. where he can find
place to live and place to work.
Nothing could be more effective In lin
ing up the new arrival on the side Of
law and order and Of the things we
believe In as being best for the coun-
try than this friendly welcome II
Is this personal greeting from Amer
lea that will help make the newcomer
100 per cent American"

dawn Of new era In their lives to
become more valuable TO themselves

cess tlNt has attended our efforts the
wholehearted support of your organ
ization has been conspicuous asset.
"While we are to be physically sep
arated from you, you may be assured
the triple chain Of appreciation, re-
spect and esteem that has bound you
close to us during our brief hut
strenuous campaign will continue in
tact, and If in the future the Legion
has any suggestions that might aid
us in our work, they will receive the
most respectful and serious consider
alton of the high authorities Of the
board"

Regular meetings are held by the

the main topic of conversation Is what

woman always has excelled.

D0CKAGE MAxlMS

The percentage of dockage Is
an essential factor in arriving
ut the true value of lot OF
wheat. This dockage may con-
sist of either useful or harmful
foreign materials.
The various methods OF han
ding dockage should be carefully
investigated and the one that is
best suited to the needs of the
local conditions should be adopt
ed.
When a large percentage of
dockage Is present In wheat 1t
is advisable TO remove It on the
farm or at the point of shipment
and thus avoid paying the
freight for the dirt, chat, weed
seeds, etc.. on the basis Of the
rate for wheat. 49,
The farmer gets higher
numerical grade for his wheat
under the dockage system Of the
federal grades than he would UNI
der system Of grading that
does not require determination
for dockage but lowers the grade
on account Of the total foreign
material present in the wheat
marketed at country points.
The dockage system In opera
ton protects the farmer from
the possibility of low prices fixed
by the local buyer in order to in
sure a safe purchase on a flat
rate basis.
