THREE GOOD RULES FOR QUALITY EGGS Keep Them Clean, Cool, and Gather Often. By R. E. CRAT, Specialist in Poultry, Ohio State University. WNTJ Service. Producing quality summer eggs is not difficult when three simple rules are followed. Eggs should be kept clean, gathered three times a day, and stored in a cool place until ready to ship. t By storing eggs in a cool place as soon as they are gathered, it is fairly easy to keep the size of the air cell to a minimum. This checks evaporation through the shell and helps insure a small percentage of stale eggs. Clean eggs may be produced by providing one nest for every five hens, by covering the perches with wire, and by confining the birds to the laying house until the majority of the eggs are gathered. Eggs can also be soiled if the hands of the attendant are wet or damp and soiled. Still another practice, which is one of the most Important from the standpoint of producing quality eggs, is the practice of gathering eggs at least two or three times a day. This helps to keep the eggs clean and cool. Experience shows that farmers gathering eggs even five to six times a day are well repaid if they market their produce on a graded basis. Broilers Fattened Well on Cereal Ration Alone for fattening broilers. Equal parts of ground wheat, ground oats and ground barley made up the cereal ration with the addition of 10 per cent of meat meal to the other. Both were fed k three times daily, using sour as a mixer and mixing each feed one feeding in advance. Two lots of chickens seven weeks of age were used. Thirty-sevebirds were in one and thirty-siin the other group. These birds were banded and weighed individually in grams at the beginning, at the end of the first week and at the end of the experiment (fourteen days). The average gain for the two lots was practically identical, the difference beof an ounce per ing only skim-mil- n x one-tent- h bird. Double Incubator Service Double service from brooding equipment netted Mrs. Eli Brlner, Oska-loosan extra $50 last season, says the Kansas Farmer. Baby chicks were brooded until May 23, and then moved out After these quarters were carea, little turkeys fully disinfected, were moved into them. The poults were hatched right after May 23, just 61 of them. Six smothered, two died from unknown causes and 53 were matured. On November 19 the birds averaged 15 pounds, with a total expense shown at $2 a bird on the books. Sudan and wheat made up the green feed and a mash recommended by the agricultural college was fed.

Fighting Lice and Mites For the eradication of lice and mites, keep your poultry house clean, keep fresh litter in nests, and paint the roosts with nicotine sulphate, advises a writer in the Southern Agriculturist. If hens are used for setting, mites will be sure to come, but if you will put 5 or 6 drops of nicotine sul phate in a few places on the straw around the hen in the nest, within four days mites will be gone. If mites are on the floor, put nicotine sulphate on straw in several places. Repeat process when necessary. I have found this as practice to be a great this more chickens have year raised I than I have ever raised, and I did not have to spray the house or dip my hens. You can get nicotine sulphate at seed houses or drug stores. labor-save- r, Watch Hens Production That there Is a tremendous differability has been demonstrated in Ohio by the record of performance flock owners who trap-nes- t their birds. They find some Individuals lay nearly every day, while others lay only every other or every third day, all under identically the same conditions. For a years laying some few lay over 300 eggs and others less than a hundred. There is most assuredly a difference in chickens. Ohio Farmer. ence in egg-layin- g wood. LOGAN, UT.

Among the tattered letters, odd maps and prints, portraits and other fragmentary memorabilia which line the walls of the new Museum of the City of New York there runs the series of model groups in which Dwight Franklin and Ned J. Burfls have recaptured the long past of the greatest city of the world. They are delicate little panoramas, beautifully constructed and finely modeled and breathing a sudden life and vitality into the dead relics about them as they repeat the veritable scenes amid which those old letters passed or those quaint dresses were worn. Peter Stuyvesants sword looks simply like something in a museum until near it one sees the governor himself, fully as vivid as life (if as large), only about storming over Colonel Cartwrights demand for surrender while the Seventeenth century sunshine lies of placidly upon the ramparts Nieuw Amsterdam fort outside the door. Well, the fort has lain buried for many years somewhere beneath the foundations of lower Broadway ; Peter Stuyvesant is as dead as a doornail, and so is the pleasant, bucolic life of the little outpost yof Dutch empire which once occupied what was once the tip of Manhattan. In the model those times are as alive as last nights supper club. So are the pleasant blue waters and wooded slopes of the East river (so much pleasanter than today) as they are seen through the windows of the Beekman mansion, while General Howe, Interrupted with wineglass in hand and a mot lipon his lips, tosses the irritated glance of authority over his shoulder to see what the guards have brought in. Its an Infernal young rebel suspected of espionage name of Nathan Hale. One almost hears the voices and one suddenly understands a lot about the American Revolution. Alive, too, are the waterfront crowds under the long jibbooms on South street, or the Indians, three centuries earlier, in their encampment at Inwood. These models are an essential and fascinating part of time-darkene- d one-tent- h the new exhibit, something which distinguishes it from those of other museums. They give an incomparably better idea of the times they portray than do, for example, the models of old London in the great London museum; and they suggest how wonderful will be the record which this museum will contain when time has enriched its collections and broadened their scope to cover the countless fields of New Yorks life and activities down to the present time. As yet, of course, there are many lacunae. The contemporary scene is hardly touched. Some types of exhibit may prove difficult to acquire; New Yorks growth, for example, has been so swift and so destructive as to leave few of the old shop fronts, old signs and utensils, pieces of furniture and paneling which are Important items in the London collection. But the beginning is such a fine one, offering so many possibilities, that money and support for expansion must surely be forthcoming. One hopes that good slices of it will be spent on further work from Mr. Franklin and Mr. Burns. New York Herald Tribune.
