Eggs can be better preserved if they are stored, where there is a certain amount of carbon dioxide in the air, according to Paul F. Sharp of. the New York State College of Agriculture,. who has just published the results of some experiments on eggs in SHIPPING LOSSES MAKE LARGE ITEM Science. One of Big Faults Is Over- loading Cars in Summer. Losses sustained by swine producers of the United States in marketing their hogs amount to the astonishing sum of more than three million dollars yearly. This tremendous waste can be charged directly to the carelessness of shippers and the negligence of transportation companies. In the language of the day, "Something ought to be done about It." "One of the biggest factors In causing these heavy losses is the overloading of cars, especially in hot weather," says E. F. Ferrin of the division of animal husbandry of the University of Minnesota. This fault is chargeable chiefly to the carrier which compels the shipper to pay freight on a greater weight than can be loaded without risk. Cars in need of repairs cause crippling or damage to hogs in transit. Holes in floors, nails projecting on the inside of cars, cleats on floors, and unsafe doors, are all minor causes of loss which could be remedied by the railroad company. The carriers are further at fault in delivering unclean cars for reloading, although an order of the Interstate Commerce commission expressly provides that cars must be cleaned. But the carriers cannot be held for all the loss. The disposition of the shipper to take a chance Induces the practice of overloading. Improper bedding of cars, and neglect to remedy minor defects in cars delivered to the In shipments of loading station. mixed cars of cattle and hogs, flimsy partitions which break down result in losses. Proper bedding of cars will save much loss. In hot weather sand soaked with water is by far the best material. In. very cold weather losses could he prevented by tacking one width of building paper along one side of the car near the floor. This protection is necessary only on the side of the car which will be toward the north as the car Is moved to market. Most of our live stock goes to market in an eastward or westward direction. - . Render Assistance to Sow When Farrowing At farrowing time the herdsman should oe on' hand to render assistance if necessary, but should otherwise not disturb the sow.. In large herds it has been found an exceed- ingly profitable plan to have an experienced man nearby during the night at this time to inspect the sows every three hours. The farmer with only a few sows will find that a few night trips to the hog house at, farrowing time will save many a litter, and prove a most profitable investment of his time and energy. In the case of heavy, clumsy sows, or those which are very restless at farrowing time, It is a good plan to separate the pigs from the dam by placing them In a warm box or half barrel as they are farrowed. Sows properly handled before farrowing will not usually resent such separation. When the sow has become quiet, and as quickly as possible after farrowing is over, the pigs should be, one by one, carefully replaced at a nipple and watched until their safety Is assured. If the sow is very cross and irritable, it. may be necessary to keep the pigs away from her for a longer time, returning them to nurse every two or three hours. A chilled pig may be revived by immersing it up to the head in water as warm as the hand will bear. H-H1 ! 1 1 I I H..

This overhang of Is well worth considering; Oak Flooring Proven Best by Hard Test A young man consulted a friend of bis who was in the lumber business about building a home. .They went over the plans carefully, and when they had finished the lumberman turned to the young man and said: Of course, you will want oak flooring. The young man had not thought a great deal of the floors he was too occupied with other details The of course, you will want oak flooring seemed so much like a foregone conclusion the young man wondered why he would of course want It As an experiment he talked with another man who was well known for his business ability and his sound judgment During the conversation the older man remarked: You have forgotten to specify oak . flooring. - . There it was again, that taken-fo- r granted remark. When the young man built his home his floors were oak, and years later as he looked at their unchanged beauty he knew why if he built agaiq he would want oak flooring, of course. That was not an unusual happening. It hag been years since the supremacy of oak flooring has been disputed. Oak flooring has grown to be a necessity to the majority of home builders. The permanent beauty and durability of oak flooring, the perfect floor, have made it highly desirable and almost indispensable in the plan of a home. The reason It has enjoyed popularity, besides those mentioned above, is that it is so easy to keep oak floors in a state of high finish. In the floors lie a great part of the charm of the interior of a home. Upon entering a room one of the first tilings that meets the eye and leaves either a favorable or unfavorable impression is the floor.

It is this silver .Eggs stored in' ordinary air spoil rapidly after they lose the carbon dioxide which is a part of the egg. As soon as an egg is laid it starts to become more alkaline and this hastens decay.' This alkaline tendency, however, can be easily and conveniently neutralized and controlled if the eggs are placed where the air contains small amounts of carbon dioxide. .This discovery has a practical result because carbon dioxide can be introduced into cold storage rooms in amounts which greatly retard the destructive changes in the eggs and yet the amount in the air will not '.be enough to prevent, workmen from entering the storage rooms. Carbon dioxide can be used also in shipping containers and in refrigerator cars. A convenient source of this gas can be used, such as the solid form or the gas form in cylinders. Professor Sharp says the only method of preserving eggs which approaches this one in cheapness and practicability is the oil dipping method in which eggs are dipped in a suitable oil which very nearly seals the pores. The carbon dioxide method is superior to the oil method, because the whites of the eggs become cloudy in storage. Those preserved by the carbon are not cloudy after the eggs are removed from the air which contains the carbon dioxide. ception of space for the entrance ball and the stairs leading to the second floor.

The steep pitch of the roof is broken by a dormer at the front which permits space for double windows for each of the front bedrooms, while another window on either side permits excellent ventilation. How attractive this home can be made when surrounded by plantings of shrubs and flowers is shown in the illustration. there will be recognition of its beauty that cannot be described, but is felt by all a feeling of quality and richness that speaks of refinement and taste. Floors are not only a part of the house, but they are a part of the furnishings as well. Yet they are sub- jected to daily service far more severe than any piece of furniture. To withstand this service and stilt look well they must be considered as to material, methods of laying and finishing. and attention given their up, , Concrete Runs Outside Brooder House Are New Concrete rflns outside of the brood- er house are a comparatively new ad- dition to poultry farm equipment but are coming into use because of .several advantages. They enable one to use a brooder house without danger from contaminated soil near them, save the labor of moving portable buildings and make it possible to keep chicks near the dwelling or barns, says a writer in the Rural New Yorker. As they do not have to bear thickness heavy weights, a of concrete is sufficient, except at the edges, where double that thickness Is needed to prevent breaking. They , should be smooth for easy cleaning, have a slope for drainage, two or three inches, according to size, and need not be roofed. They, of course, may be of any desired size, so that they give an ample outside run, preferably not less than that required inside for the same number of chicks. They may have permanent fences or movable wire covered frames to set upon the concrete. Movable frames will facilitate cleaning. They may be lightly covered with sand, loam or litter, though the essential thing is that they be kept clean to prevent infection from droppings picked up by the chicks running upon them. two-inc- h ", In the first place, oak flooring, although a highly finished product, dressed to a satiny surface accurately machined and side and end matched carefully, is not perfectly uniform In quality, as there are many companies manufacturing it, but it is as nearly right as it is possible for nationally known and accepted manufacturers to make it. The laying and care of the floor must pass to other hands. But other hands are just as capable in acquiring a permanently beautiful floor as the manufacturer's In furnishing the materia). It merely is a matter of following the few but essential rules of laying and caring for the floor that are more or less necessary to any floor. Those rules are obtainable from any lumber dealer and are in a clear, concise form that eliminates worry and study on the part of the home owner. Another aid in the selection of oak flooring ia to buy flooring of a and proven brand. However, whether the home owner studies oak flooring or not,- - as the years pass on oak floors will teach him a lesson in flooring that will keep him marveling at its lasting beauty. , n Mineral-Sheathin- g Mineral sheathing comes in large panels, which are and which, in consequence, makes possible a wall that is sealed against the infiltration of wind and which cnt down the escape of furnace heat tongue-and-groove- d 1 AD dealers.
