Each year more eggs are marketed on a graded basis. Along with n this trend It Is noticeable that are taking better care of their eggs. And we are finding that the farm practices leading to better quality are no more difficult to follow than many of the practices now In vogue that lead to poorer quality. Eggs, like milk, deteriorate. Because the egg comes In a sealed package, and Its appearance seems much the same whether kept under good conditions or poor conditions, farmers have come more slowly to those practices that make for quality. n Here are the four practices to lead good quality; say Remove all cockerels from the flock as soon as the breeding season is ended. Use good laying ration. It happens that the best laying rations also are proving to be the rations that give quality and, when the eggs are fertile, hatchabllity. Produce clean eggs, by using good litter ln nests, on the floor, and covering dropping hoards with wire netting. n Gather eggs frequently. One time by reports saving gathering four times a day.

At this time the demand ln the city markets Is for young birds weighing from one to two pounds each. As the season advances, the demand Is for heavier birds. Guineas are marketed as game birds and, like game birds, are usually sold on the market unplucked, although hotels and restaurants buy them plucked. There are three varieties of guineas, white, pearl, and lavender, and although they were probably one of the earliest domesticated fowls, they still retain many of their wild characteristics. They can be raised profitably on most farms where the young blrd3 are allowed to range, picking up waste grain and insects. Missouri Farmer. Watch the Water Supply Water fountains for poultry are often counted expensive appliances. Those who keep only a small flock are apt to think ordinary open vessels which can be bought for a small fraction of their cost will do as well. The great advantage of the fountain Is that It keeps the water much longer at the temperature It was when put ln, and that In summer there Is very little evaporation from It On a hot dry day water will evaporate from open drinking vessels so fast that they may be dry long before the time when they are usually refilled. Where the attendant Is away from home all day, the consequence Is that the birds are without water when they need It most CHAPTER XII large rock wool from mineral deposits ln the Niagara peninsula of Ontario Is Indicated by a report Issued by the Canadian department of mines.
