We believe that it will pay belter to turn eggs into carcasses than to sell at less than twenty cents a dozen. Some writers claim (hat to produce an egg costs one cent. This would make their cost twelve ceuts a doxen and anything over that w profit. They wrli eggs tan get eighteen that. At eighteen cents per cent profit and they with that. Supposing that a dozen twelve cents and out of that dozen, only four chicks were raised up to s marketable and the total weight, cost, Including price of eggs, would be $4 for those four broilers, and they brought $1 a pair, the usual price In New York market, there would be even $1 profit. Of course, in some sections of the country broilers would not bring fl a pair, but then genet ally in such locum lea feed is cheaper, which would equalize it, and besides, we have given a very low percentage of hatching and rearing. There is money in the brbiler business, but it Is a branch that must be entered carefully, managed diligently and perfectly understood. If success is the result No amateur should start this branch . on a large scale. He should begin at the very bottom of the ladder and climb up. There Is so much to know. First, how to run the incubator bo that It will require iess responsibility and do beat woik; second, how to brood the thicks so that they will not become chilled and die from bowel trouble; third, how to feed bo that they will attain the desired weight without being subject to leg weakness and other troubles. All these matters must be carefully studied and w atched. There is a big responsibility and the work requires "eternal v igilance. Egg farming Is the easiest branch to follow.

If one does not possess enough roots for all winter feeding, j, think they can be fed to better advantage after New Year's than before. Cows have not yet lost the effbet of green pasturage as they will by Fb luary, and then succulent, roots (not withered by storing in hot cellars) will prove decidedly beneficial. From personal experience with root feeding to cows covering several winters I am impressed with their value. The best results are obtained w here they are fed conservatively and as an adjunct to dry fodder. I have never had any trouble with turhip flavor in milk, complained of by pome, and have only seen it where such roots were fed in large quantities. It quickly becomes apparent then. It Is a grave mistake to feed these or any other roots with dirt clinging to them. While trimming off the small, fine roots at the bottom of the tut nip or beet will take most of the dirt, they need washing before feeding. Like apples, roots keep best at a low temperature, which Is beat met by storage In a properly constructed cave cellar.George E. Newell. In Am. Cultivator. Varlona food..
