Lime For The Layers

Countless thousands of hens are
necessarily kept in close confinement
all summer long. They have small
house in which to roost and lay their
eggs, and a small yard usually of
bare and hard earth. 1t is absolutely
impossible therefore for them to
gather from such a small portion OF
earth the amount of lime required to
make the shells for the large number
of eggs they lay. If they are running
on free range this would be different,
and even then they would need more
lime than they would naturally get
from the ground. Domestic fowls lay
from ten to twelve times as many
eggs as the wild jungle fowls from
which they sprang. Special care
should be taken therefore to keep be-
fore them an abundance of crushed
oyster shells. This is the best and
cheapest form in which lime can be
served to them. When this supply
runs low look out for soft shelled
eggs and for a decreasing product.
Cid mortar where it is available is good
to furnish lime and earth. Fine gravel
is of great importance. Hens that
are kept in yards that have no grits
in the soil must be furnished this i'm
portant material by their care-taker
or they are liable not O., -. to become
non productive but they come liter
ally to a starving condition.

COAL ASHES ON
The GARDEN

If you want to use coal ashes to
best advantage on that soil you
should sift them-leaving the cinders
by themselves. We should dig bitches
or holes in a low place and bury the
cinders there. We should then scatter
the fine ashes over the ground when
plowed or spaded and harrow them
in. There is very little plant food
in coal ashes. About all there is
conss from the wood which was
burned with the coal. About the only
advantage you will get from the fine
ashes will be~mechanical. They will
fill in to the sandy soil and make it
more compact and better able to hold
moisture. When put on clay soils
these ashes will open up the stiff clay
and make it more porous-having the
opposite effect on sand. This will
have no particular effect upon the
manure or fertilizer needed. A good
coating of lime well narrowed in will
help a SOIL

Proper Egg Packing

The breakage of eggs in transit
represents a loss of around three
percent according to examination Of
eggs received at the Boston market
and shipped from Maine points. An
average of nine eggs per case was
found damaged and over 80 per cent
of this damage was due to what is
termed END crush" of the large
eggs.
Further examinations Of eggs
when received at the shipping sta
ton have. shown that there was an
average of five broken eggs per case
when the eggs were delivered for
shipment. The greater portion of
this breakage was also due to lend
crush" of the large eggs. END
crush" is due to the fact that the
large eggs which project above the
tops of the filters bear the weight of
the eggs above and as a result be-
come crushed. In some cases the
eggs are cracked slightly on the
ends as they are dropped into the
filters. A slight crack may go I'M
noticed but by the time it reaches
the market it is likely to be further
broken and may be leaking.
These facts show that it is the
largest and best eggs in the case
which become broken. Thin Shelled
eggs may be responsible for some of
the breakage, but it is unfortunate
that as a whole it is the largest and
best eggs which are lost.
This damage is largely preventable
and with proper care in the selec-
ton and grading of the eggs as
they are packed the most of this
damage can be prevented. If we are
to continue with the careful selec-
ton of the hens which will lay large
eggs then we should be especially
careful to properly pack these eggs
for shipment so that they will reach
their destination in good condition.
