1t Came Upon a Midnight

the sound of the team from afar. But
nothing stirred in the camp. We reined
up, unwrapped the guitars, and-well,
you can guess the rest.
We weren't angels, but we meant
well. Even old Shorty found a pretty
good voice that night, or else I was all
smothered in Christmas sentiment, but
we sang them all-all the carols we
remembered from childhood, and then
we finished with s'It came upon mid
night clear )"
We never heard sound from the
wagon that was like white galleon
in the moonlight, sailing at full mast.
But we could hear them listening.
Our repertoire finished, we turned the
team and headed back to the ranch.
The night was no longer nippy. I felt
warm all over Even my hands, that
had strumrned cold guitar, felt fine.
I was just oozing geod will, at peace
with myself and the world. I looked
over at Shorty, and think he felt the
same way. too.
The Carvers came calling next day
to wish us the Yuletide greeting. I was
Strengthening out pitch fork tine when
Miss Jean came running up to me- She
threw her arms about my neck and
kissed me, and when she took her
arms away, woolen scarf was hang
ing from my neck with a little tag on
it that said, Merry Christmas, Christ
mas angel!'' Gosh, but she sure did
remind me of Lefty, then.

they could not be sold as top grades.
/ also told you what causes these blood
spots-the rupture of a small blood
vessel while the yolk is being formed.
The result is that small clot of blood
is enclosed within the egg, usually on
the surface of the yolk
What can we do about this problem?
In my other report I stated that COM
plete methods of prevention and control
of blood spots still have not been
worked out. 1t is known by research
workers that both hereditary and .nu-
tritional influences are involved Many
breeders today are making a special
effort to eliminate these bad features
from their breeding stock Nutrition
workers are working on the problem
from feeding standpoint Some prog
ress is being made but we are still
having some trouble with blood spots.
What can you as a flock owner do?
A few days ago was talking to a
flock owner who thinks she may have
solved the problem, at least with her
particular flock. 1t seems that there
had been a fairly heavy infestation of
mice in the laying house. Poison bait
was put out and in a few days prac-
tically all of the mice were gone. Then,
just as soon as the mice were gone,
they stopped getting eggs with blood
spots. What did the mice have to do
with blood spots in the eggs? ] don't
know. Could the hens have been eating
enough of the small mice to upset their
diet? Perhaps. But again I don't know.
If any of you would like to comment
On this problem, I'll be glad to hear
rom you.
