Top Price Always Paid
for First-Class Eggs

Here are some suggestions for the
production Of good eggs. and for mar
keting them to get top prices:
Keep hens that produce, not only
goodly number Of eggs, but eggs Of
moderately large size, averaging two
ounces.
Be sure the laying fiocks are well
housed, are fed and watered regularly
and, above all. have clean, dry nests.
Gather the eggs every day and,
when the temperature is very hot or
very cold, gather them twice a day.
Pen up all broody hens as soon as
discovered and keep them Off the lay
ing hens nests.
Place all summer eggs, as soon az
gathered, In the coolest place avail
able.
Get rid Of young cockerels before
they begin to annoy the hens. Also
sell or confine old male birds from the
time spring Matching is over until cool
weather in the fall.

Many Uses for Milk.

1t Is said that in France 10000
quarts of skinned milk day Is used
for making substitutes for horn, ivory,
amber and such things. The casein in
the milk is precipitated by chemical
process and then mixed with formalin.
This produces galalith, or petrified
milk, a hard, elastic, insoluble sub
stance that is easily worked. The
French dairy experts think that the
demand for skinned milk for this
purpose will be great enough to in
crease profit In the butter-making
business by producing ready market
for the Observation-Disclosures Star.

Aid Eradication

to Regulation of Ac-
credited Herds.

Valuation of cattle In localities
where animals are practically free
from tuberculosis will, no doubt. In
crease rapidly with the federal govern
menss o. X. on modified accredited
areas. Cattle breeders have advanced
from the accredited herd unit to the
point where the government Is ready
to accredit areas that are almost COM
pletely free from the disease.
Acting Secretary Of Agriculture G.
w. Pugsley has just signed an amend
ment to the federal regulation having
to do with the eradication Of tuber-
culosis among cattle in which provision
Is made for classifying certain areas
where the disease has been practically
eliminated as modified accredited
areas"
Work Shows Progress.
Secretary Pugsley's announcement
Of the new regulation, which Is now
In effect, states that there are many
counties In various states where the
cattle plague has been practically
eradlcated, and many others In which
cleanup work has gone far. AS re-
suit, these areas will be recognized
and freed from certain inhibitions
which are necessary in other terri
tories.
Last winter the United States Live
Stock Sanitary association adopted the
provisions contained in these new reg
ulations. They have also been adopted
by various cattle breeders associa-
lions. The bureau Of animal industry,
In cooperation with state live stock
sanitary authorities, will carry them
out, maintaining Quarantines to protect
designated areas from the introduc-
ton of untested animals from other
counties or states.
"Under the amended provisions
county may be designated as a modi-
fed accredited area when a complete
test Of all cattle in the area shows
less than one-half Of per cent to be
reactors-that Is, affected with tuber-
culosis," says the acting secretary's
announcement. "Those few herds In
which infected animals were found
will be quarantined and cannot be re-
tested within less than sixty days
from the date Of the original test.
"Once an area is put into this modi-
hed accredited classification, no cattle
can be brought in unless from an
accredited herd or after having passed
a satisfactory tuberculin test. How
ever, under certain conditions they
may be brought in for slaughter or for
feeding and grazing"
Washington Gives Rules.
According to the announcement
from Washington, when an area is des-
ignated by the cooperating state and
federal authorities as a modified &C
credited area, It will remain in this
classification for three years. provided
there Is no Indication, through ami
mails slaughtered or In other ways, that
the percentage of tuberculosis does not
exceed one-half Of 1 per cent at any
time. II 1t Is found that 1 per cent
or more reacts. all cattle must be re-
tested; II the infection Is between
one-half Of 1 per cent and l per cent
only infected herds must be retested,
and when the percentage of reactors
10 reduced below one-half of per cent
the area must be classed as a modified
accredited area.

There is always lot Of shrunken, un-

considerably smaller than now. 1t
suggests that the gambling fever" is
not any more acute than 1t used to

because people gamble more openly
now. .
