GIVE UP BOOSTERS
FOR QUALITY EGGS
Illinois Sale Proves Idea Is a
Good One.

A loss of FIVE million dollars an
nually, which spoiled eggs are esti-
mated to be causing Illinois farm
ers, could be materially reduced if
all poultryme2 in the state followed
the lead of White county farmers
In getting rid of surplus roosters,
according to II. H. Alp, extension
specialist of the college of agricul-
ture, University Of Illinois.
A total of 1887 roosters weigh
ing S,619 pounds-more than four
tons-were rounded up off the coun-
ty farms and sold during a recent
rooster day" staged as part of the
colleges campaign for quality Illi-
nois eggs. Bringing five and one
half cents pound net, the roosters
put almost S475 cash into the pock-
cts of farmers. A crowd of $500
people attended the rooster day"
event and sale.
BOOSTERS are one of the chief Of
tenders in causing egg spoilage, be-
cause the germ in fertile eggs will
begin to develop in warm weather
without the eggs being put under 8
hen or in an incubator.
Not only roosters but also other
causes of poor quality eggs should
be guarded against, because the
gOlden-yolked. middle-west eggs will
bring premium price on the mar
kets if producers will give them
proper care and handling prior to
selling.
His suggestions are:
Feed balanced ration and limit
the feeding to that ration.
Gather eggs twice daily.
keep eggs in a cool, moderately
dry place cooler than 60 degrees
Fahrenheit.
"Cool eggs before placing them in
the case.
Eliminate dirty eggs by provid-
ing nest for every six hens, by
keeping the flock confined to the
house until noon on days when IL
is wet outside, by keeping all
broody hens off the nests and by
keeping the house clean.
"Protect eggs from heat and sun
when marketing them.
Market eggs twice a week.
"Sort eggs according to size and
color of shell.
"Sell to dealers properly equipped

State College Poultry
Department Sells Meat

The poultry department at the
state college Of agriculture at Ith-
aca. N. Y, sold solid chicken meat
to its egg customers In dispOsing
of several hundred eight-week old
broilers at the end of a feeding
experiment. The method is recon-
mended by L. NJ. Hurd to poultry
men In localities where the meat
can be retailed.
The broilers were killed and
skinned. and only the breasts,
thighs. livers. gizzards and hearts
were sold One man usually killed
and stripped from eight to ten birds
an hour. At twenty-five cents an
hour the cost was about three
cents bird. The meat sold to reg
ular egg customers for thirty cents
a pound. and moved readily, he
says. A two-pound broiler brought
about thirty cents, or about the
cost Of growing a broiler. The
shrinkage from the live weight was
about "a per cent.
1t is unnecessary, Professor Hurd
points out, to wait until the broilers
weigh two pounds. for they can be
killed any time after they weigh a
half-pound. It is more profitable. he
says, to sell broilers as solid chick
en- meat than to kill and bury the
cockerels as soon as the sex can
be determined. AS many poultry
men did this year.

The number registered In 1882 for

the number similarly on record in

 OF MYSTERIES

Peabody, Mass. March 3-UP) Fire Captain William J. Costello, killed by cyanide poisoning a fort night ago, may have died from six to eight hours earlier than pre- viously reported, investigators be- lieved to-day.
 It was understood that Dr J. Stewart Rooney, Harvard toxocol- ogist, would report that chemical analysis of the vital organs indi- cated that death occurred be- tween 2:30 and 3:30 a. m.
 The 31 year old mother of Cos tello's two small children has told police her husband was alive at 3 a. m. but was dead when she next looked at him at 10 a. m. Il was Mrs Costello who, shortly be- fore her husbands death, bought the cyanide that killed him. She intended to use the cyanide as a powerful cleansing agent, mixed with oxalic acid, she said.
 Dr Harris s. Pomeroy, the fam fly physician, whom Mrs Costello consulted just prior to buying the poison, was reported in a grave condition to-day at J. B. Thomas hospital, where he was taken yes- terday suffering from angina pee. toris.

He was taken into custody following 8 disturbance early today at his home in which he received black eye His broth CT testified against him, stating he returned home in an intoxicated condition and was unusually abu- sive to members of his family.
 The accused offered an alibi to the effect that when he went to 1.-Two apart from his family they sent for him and begged him to my money. The government is pay ing me and they want all I get. When I haven't any money they pick on me and have me arrested, he exclaimed. He also went on rec ord that his compensation money was more welcome than he is.
