Of 5,89o cars of potatoes inspected by agents of the bureau of United States Department of markets, Agriculture, during the year ended July 1, 1920, more than 2,000 ears showed damage from freezing in transit amounting in some cases to 40 cent. Ibis loss would not huve p'r occurred with the use of proper loading and heating methods, say the bureaus specialists. I rotection from cold depends largely upon a constant circulation of warm air around the load. Heated air from a stove in the center of car rises to tbe top, spreads along the celling between the potatoes and the roof, thence down through the open spaces at the ends, then back underneath a false floor coming out at the stove. (iirs should be carefully lined with paper. In box cars, false floors, false side and end walls should be constructed of boards and studding so as to provide for air circulation around the load. In refrigerator cars, false floors should be provided and care should be taken that hunker bulkhead openings are not blocked, either in papering or loading. Cars should be heated at least six hours before loading. In loading, sacks should not come closer tnan eight Inches from the ceiling. The potatoes at the floor should be loaded not less than six inches from the sides and ends of car. Complete details regarding the prevention of freezing in transit and proper loading methods can be had upon application to the Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.

The purpose of the flock ascertain which hens lay, either .or determining what record they make, or for identifying their eggs during (he hatching season so that pedigree records are possible. Trap-nestin-g requires a considerable aniouut "f attention, but Is a valuable aid ln le eloping a flock of poultry along lines of breeding for egg production. A trap-nes- t Is a laying nest so arranged that after a hen enters it she is confined until released by the attendant. One trap-nes- t should be provided for each four hens kept in flocks of 50 or more, while more trup-nest- s are necessary in smaller flocks. The hens are marked with numbered bands and a record Is kept of their egg production. The nests should he visited at least four times daily, and preferably much more often, frequent trips being especially necessary when the hens are laying freely and during hot weather. The trap-nes- t may be attached to the underside of the dropping board with tiie front facing the pen, and arranged so that it can easily be removed, or it may be placed on the walls of the pen. If the nest Is placed under the dropping board, the latter will serve as a top for the nest, and the rear of the nest may be of wire to allow good ventilation in warm weather. If the nest is placed on the wall, slats er wire should be inserted from the front of the nest to the wall at a sharp angle to prevent the hens from roosting on the nest. Of course, It Is essential to make the nests as attractive and cozy as possible, and this is accomplished by providing them with plenty of clean litter, as often as a new supply of strnw is needed. Furthermore, In particularly objectionable cases it pays to clean all the litter from tbe floor of trap-nestin- D to the forage over the Absolutely Puro ch al-ao- st Kill That Cold With As? emm ng quinine i flock is in good thrifty ion, properly housed and proper-- I and receives adequate exercise, amb out much better and will he shepherd far less difficulty.
