HASTINGS. ronrmedy Poultryman at Kansas Epe ment Staio. Commercial Poulby EX. pert of the United States Depart meat of Agricuture. Author of "The Dollar fien. [Copyright. 1920. by Amenrican Press Asso- i clation.] EHE extra cent or two to be ob taned In the inal price for one's product Is a very big factor in the profits, for this Is clear gain. whereas from the geen 'eral selling price must be deducted many expenses. Nevertheless much of the advice given concerning the se curing of fancy prices for poultry Is applicable but to a small portion of pouliry growers. Those who live near towns of con siderable size will find It well worth while to sell either to a high class re 00s PAc3= FOR XARr. taller or to large consumers. such as hotels, clubs and cafes. Selling of poultry produce directly to the small consumer is not a very profitable 1 thing. and I should not advise one to attempt it unless it Is done in con nection with the milk route or other regularly distributing busiress. Of course this remark would not apply Z;:, those who have a village dock of fowis where the children take a dozen egs around the corner to friends and I neighbors. To the farmer in the great agricul tural districts far removed from any city these outlets for poultry and eggs are not available. It is entirely feasible for the farmer who has a large enough flock to insure a case or more a week. to ship eggs by express to cities some two or three hunderd miles distant, but with the exception of the larger consuming centers of the east the premiums paid will hard ly make this profitable. When none of the previous mentioned opportuni ties Is available it remains for the farmers of a community to content themselves either with the price that the local produce dealer gives or to form a co-operative marketing asso ciation and market their own produce. Where the local produce buyer Is at all fair and reasonable I should not advise farmers to hasten into co-op erative deals, for some one must be in charge, and a man who owns the bsnes winl give It more careful at-! 2tenton than one who Is merely work ing on a salary. But In either case It Is highly desirable that the farmers; get together and come to some under standing with the egg buyer regard bg purchasing of eggs on some other; method than by case count. The term case count means to buy at a uniform price all eggs as they are offered regardless of size and quality. Eggs In Denmark are all purchased by weight. - The time will undoubtedly; come when the same method will be; pursued In this country. The most Im mediate need of reform, however. is to insist upon the buying o eggs upo a candled basis. especially in be sum mer and fall. This means that the: buyer must keep each lot of eggs sep arately and examine them with the candle or light and throw out the rot-: ten and stale eggs. This, of course, is; some trouble and expense, but there is no other way known by which the grade of eggs can be kept up and a good price obtained If eg are bought case count dis honest producers will send bad eggs to market, which, mixed in with good Iones, will lower the price to all, and the farmers who produced a fair qual ity of eggs will be cheated out of their honest profits. The egg dealer Is only too anxious to have eggs bought upon quality basis. and it is the ignorance of the farmers to their own interest 'that prevents sruch methods of buying Ifrom becoming universal. Enterprising comnuiities can make a great step In advance of the market g of their produce If they will adopt a trade name for all products put out by their locality and take pride in, seeing that nothing goes out under this. name that Is not of the best quality. Such a movement usually Involves farmers' co-operation, a propaganda. which Is rapidly growing In popular-. Ity throughout the country Essential Points of Egg Quality. Sometimes poultrymen secure a fancy outlet for theIr eggs, but do not appre cdate the actual points of quality suf ficiently to hiold their market. I have known poultry-meni to ship eggs which were produced on a poultry farm and were but a few days old and on that account seem to think they had a sufi ceat basis upon which to ask a goodly premium a bove market prices, when, as a matter of fact, their eggs were ac tually inferior to the better grade of far recellpts from the more northerly! and densely settled communities. Alkarazza.I Alkarazzai Is the name given to ves sels cf very porous earthenware which when filled with wa;ter are always moist outside and owing to the evapo- 1 raon of the water on their surface al ways keep their contents cool.

On burning the sawdust Is destroyed and the clay thereby left porous.

IHer instructions. Conductor-Ticket. please. Passen ger-Certainly. sir. Here Is the key of my trunk, which Is in the baggage car. n the pocket of my second best dress Eggs to seU as Lancy siock must bo first of a good size. The best grade of Daanih eggs weigh twenty-nine ounces to the dozen. Eggs weighing less than twenty-four ounces :o the dozen or eight to a pound cannot be considered first class stock. The bet ter grades of the American Leghorn egg farm shipments run about twenty five to twenty-six ounces. Uniformi ty in size is quite Important. as it gives a better Impression of the ac tual size than do mixed lots. Putting In extra large eggs will make the or dinary ones look small. Uniformity of color is important In some markets. In others this matter Is given little consideration. Cleanliness Is always important. This means clean nests. Washing eggs Is a poor business, as it takes time, leaves the eggs looking mussy and increases the contamina tion of bacteria which causes the eggs to rot. Youth in eggs does not guarantee what the consumer considers fresh ness. Eggs will spoil more In a hot kitchen in two days than they will In a cold storage house In thirty days. The first thing essential In eggs that are to show quality is that they be infertile. This is especially impor tant in summer time. and I would ad vise all those catering to fancy egg markets to kill off or pen up all male birds after the middle of May. Eggs must be kept dry at all times. When the shells become damp, bacteria grow through them and start decay. On the other hand, if eggs are kept very dry, warm or exposed to wind the water will evaporaw, causing the contents to shrink in the shell. The number of cracked eggs de pends very largely upon the security of the package. If you ship in cases. get new cases. not secondhand ones. They cost only one-half a cent a dozen more, and for high grade eggs appear ance alone is well worth the differ ence. Use new fillers in the case, and use clean, new excelsior on top and bottom instead of old newspapers. There are two tricks of the trade used to impress the consumer with the fact that the eggs are guaranteed fresh. One Is to rubber stamp the date on theegg. The otber is to pack the eggs in cartons holding a dozen each which are sealed with a gummed pa per seal. These seals may be dated If one wishes to carry the argument that far. Rubber stamping will cost but a tenth of a cent a dozen for labor. whereas cartons will cost anywhere from a cent to a cent and a half each. according to their quality. If long (two eggs by six) cartons are used they may be packed In regular thirty dozen cases. This form of shipment is good where you can sell such packages to retail grocers. The producer's name being on the package, the consumers learn to call for his brand, and the gro cer then must buy of you or lose the trade. The retailer is, usually -wlse" to this scheme and prefers to use car tons with his own name. Poultry Flesh For Market. The preparation of poultry flesh for the market begins in the eouditioning of the fowl. Leghorn broilers do not need any special fattening or deshing. for when growing rapidly at the age of eight or ten weeks they are in prime condition for eating. Likewise hens that are being sold after their usefulness as layers is over will re quire no special fattening, as they do not gain In weight enough at this time to pay for the extra trouble. Young male birds of the heavy breeds of chickens are most profitably sold at from three to four months of age. At this time they should weigh from three and one-half to four pounds apiece and can be materially Improved in quality and be made to gain rapid ly in weight If they are placed In coops or even shut up In small yards and fed heavily from two to four weeks on soft ground foods. Such fat tening rations should be made of ground graIn, as cornmeal and mid dlings or, better still, oats finely ground and the hull sifted out, mixed with milk or buttermilk into a soft batter. If no milk is available It will be necessary to add 10 per cent of meat meal to this mixture. An occa sional relish of green food is also de sirable. Fowls fattened in this fashion not only make a clear gain In weight that is proftable, but gain materially in the quality of the flesh. These milk E~rnoD OF P5aE.Di DRESSED POULTRY fed chickens should be sokd as such. andf the local packer does not recog nize them and offer a hI;;her price it will be necessary for the farmer w bo fattens his chickens to look to some more distant muarket, as In getting fancy prices on guaranteed fresh eggs. I would not ordinarily advise the small grower to attempt to kill and dress his own stock of poultry. Like wise It is equally fooli.h for him to attempt to ship them alive to any great distance, as they will deteriorate great ly in quality while en route. The local poultry dealer Is practically the only place where the farmer can sell his poultry flesh, and a little ur;: ing of the dealer to give special at tenon to his fattened or extra fancy stock will probably be time better spent than in an effort to market It himsel. A Witty Retort. A good story is told of tw-o great Irishmen. the late .\rchbishop Plunket and l-'atber Ilcaly. the w-eli known parish priest of Itray.

In this the old time surgeons r did wonders. They had a control and . surety in their hands that are now seldom found. One day the celebrated surgeon Malsonneure had to amputate f the leg of a poor devil, who began to b howl In advance. "rIll give you my L watch." said the surgeon. "If the oper ation lasts more than a minute." The man accepted the offer, but was oblig ed to forego the handsome watch. as the operation took-less time than it re quires to describe. To amputate an arm at the shoulder is a most difficult operation. Dr. Langenbeek of Ger . many did it in two minutes. A young physician who came to see him per form the operation adjusted his spec tacles to his nose so as not to lose a single movement. but when the spec tacles were in place the operation was over and the severed arm lay on the door.
