Supplied by the United States Deportment WNU Service. of Agriculture. Do you prefer an egg with a light yellow yolk or one that has a deep orange-re- d color? Deeply colored tyolks are used by housewives when they wish to impart a golden color to their cakes. Such yolks are also used in making richly tinted Ice cream. A hen can transfer different shades of yellow to the yolk depending upon the kind of feed she receives. Substituting white corn for yellow corn and limiting the amount of green feed tends to produce light-yelloyolks. If the poultryman keeps his laying stock confined and uses little or no green feed, he must be careful to supply some other source of vitamin A When he uses white corn which contains almost none of this vitamin. He can do this by mixing a suitable quantity of cod-livoil with the evening feeding of scratch grain. Yolks with richer shades of yellow may be obtained by increasing the quantity of yellow com and green feed. Too much green feed tends to give the yolk a brown or green off tint Small quantities of pimento or chili pepper, Included In regular rations, give yolks a deep orange-re- d color.

They had a system all their own. At Thebes the very men who dug the un- A safe-cracke- rs er derground chambers for the dead and prepared the sarcophagi for the royal mummies sometimes tunneled under the site. Thus they were ready to break through the floor and the base of the sarcophagus and so withdraw the mummy and its jewels. The upper surfaces of the royal sepulcher would give no hint that the body had been taken away. A tomb that survived 33 centuries of grave robberies was that of Tutankhamen, hewn in the limestone cliffs near Luxor, Egypt When officially opened In February, 1923j It still contained the kings mummy, sarcophagus, rich coffins, and numerous art objects. The antechamber alone contained 167 articles of Importance. It is unlikely that the comparatively small .tomb itself will have more than a passiflg Interest ; but the rich store of rare and valuable furniture with which the hiding place of Tutankhamen was packed contained such wonders from the distant past as have seldom been seen by modern man. Tests Demonstrate That r Pullorum Is Transmissible Proof that pullorum disease is transmissible from Infected hens to normal hens or pullets has been obtained In an. experiment conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture. Pullets free from pullorum disease were allowed to mingle for seven months with hens infected with the disease, as shown by reaction to the k i agglutination test. The two groups were then separated and mated to nonreactor cockerels. During the following two months the hens were trapnested and their eggs saved for hatching. Bacteriological examinations of the dead embryos, the baby chicks which died within two weeks after hatching, and the hens showed that half of the exposed hens acquired the disease from those already Infected. Similar tests confirmed the presence of the disease In the reactor group. This evidence," says Dr. Hubert Bunyea, of the bureau of animal industry, who had charge of the experiment, shows that under ordinary flock conditions pullorum disease is transmissible from reactor to normal hens without regard to the influence of the male birds. This possibility has received comparatively little emphasis by poultrymen and experimental evidence on the subject has been limited. The result of the experiment shows the importance of removing from the flock all hens that react to the test ' It also shows the danger in introducing new birds into the flock without knowing they are free of the disease. Preventing Coccidiosis Coccidiosis should be prevented by the observance of the needed sanitary precautions in early life, the organisms of this disease being kept away from the chicks by keeping the latter from old ground or other sources of contamination. The organisms responso-bl- e for coccidiosis are so universally present where poultry has long been kept that it Is sometimes necessary to raise chicks upon wire mesh floors if they are to be saved from infection. Prevention, not cure, must be the aim of the poultryman who would save his flocks from this scourge of the poultry yard, warns an expert in the Rural New-Yorke- r. Statues of the King. Facing each other across the entrance to the Inner chamber were two figures of the king, each nearly stricken stiff by the artist and standing helpless in its vain attempt to guard the royal tomb; a mace in one hand, a long staff in the other, with a palm-lea- f guard below the hand. The portions of these statues which represented skin were the dark, almost black, color which distinguishes the male figure from the female in Egyptian art. The headdresses, collarets, armlets, wristbands, maces, and staffs were gilded and the sandals were of gold. On each forehead was the royal cobra of inlaid bronze and gold. The eye sockets and eyebrows were of gold, the eyeballs of aragonite, and pupils of obsidian. ' In the antechamber with the statues were a large funeral bouquet, a linen chest filled with the kings undergarments, and a casket whose vaulted lid bore paintings depicting lion hunts. The sides of the latter were decorated with paintings showing the king in battles against African and Asiatic enemies. The contents consisted of the kings raiment Most of the paraphernalia was badly crumpled and the fine fabrics had almost perished. Discovery Was a Sensation. Words cannot give any impression of the decorations of the sarcophagus itself. This great box appeared to be of wood, 'covered with gold leaf or thicker gold, which was quite bright and had across it a fine frieze In lapis lazuli or faience enameL It appeared to an observer to be about nine feet high, and about eighteen or twenty feet long. The' discovery of Tutankhamens tomb was world news. Thousands of columns of newspaper space were devoted to it In every country. Never before in history had an archeological discovery so captured popular interest After the art objects had been removed land protected, the tomb with Its and mummy was opened for visits by the public. Probably 100,000 visitors in all had entered the tomb by ' January, 1934. Business men throughout the world pleaded for the right to use these designs for gloves, Sandals, jewelry, and textiles. One American silk manufacturer established a scholarship for study of the designs. The' incomparable treasures from Tutankhamens tomb, whose salvage required years of arduous work, were exhibited in the Egyptian museum at Cairo, where they occupied several gal life-siz- e . Size of Eggs Important Size of eggs is one of the Important factors in determining the gross income of a pullet flock. And while It is recognized that pullets produce small eggs for a period of time after they start production, this period will not extend over many months if the birds have been properly bred and reared.

The queen of the Belgians was the honor guest. A staff correspondent of the National Geographic society describes the event On February 17, he arrived in Luxor, crossed the river and started on foot for the Tombs of the Kings. Plodding along on foot he exchanged Arabic vilsalutations with the lage girls, felt the African sun on his back, and watched the camels stalk by on their way to the cane fields. The old lady rapped on the window of the tiny station booking office. I, want a ticket for Florence," she announced. After vainly hunting through several large railway guides the clerk came back to the window with a somewhat ruffled head and temper. And where is Florence, anyway?" he demanded. Thats her, the little dog sitting over there with the luggage, answered the old lady sweetly. The actions of faith and mercy are sure to repay the merciful. Magoon.
