COLD STORAGE EGG INDUSTRY
Infallible Rule Is for Farmer to Mar

(Dy M. M. HASTINGS.)
Tho cold storngo egg Industry Is a
development of tho last twonty-flvo
years. Undoubtedly tho Industry aa
a whole hiiB been of great benefit to
both egg producer and egg consumer,
and has tended toward the leveling of
tho price of eggs throughout tho year
and has resulted In a large Increase In
tho fall and winter consumption. This
means a larger total demand and a
consequent lncreaso In price.
Owing to tho fact that eggs aro
spoiled by hard fnezlng, they niUBt bo
kept at a higher temperature than
meat1 and butter. Temperatures of
from 29 to 32 degreos Fntironholt are
used In cold Etorago of eggs. At such
temperatures the eggs. If Kept In moUt

eggs, nnd perhaps, the occasional
presenco of certain kinds of spot rots
peculiar to Btorago stock; but the ab
solute detection of a single cold-
storage egg by candling ts, so far as
tho writer knows, impossible.
With tho present prevailing custom
of holding fall eggs without Btorago
facilities, it Is frequently true that
eggs placed in cold storage In April
aro superior to current fall and early
winter receipts. Cold storage eggs are
Usually sold wholesale as cold storage

"eggs."
Tho fall eggs offered to tho con

Occasional articles have been print
ed calling attention to the fact that
tho cold storago men were reaping
vast profits which rightfully belonged
to the farmer, and advising tho farmer
to send his own eggs to the storage

seasons, Cve n wore the profits of egg
storing many times greater than they

When eggs in the hands ot large
operators aro properly preserved In
cold storage, the best and most effi
cient methods known aro In reality at
tho farmer's service Because of tho
severe competition that prevails In
egg storing, tho farmer Is paid all tho
lncreaso In prlco wblch tho business

prices beforo days ot cold storage will

Charcoal should be freely used In
the poultry yard. I'ounded fine and
mixed with the soft feed fed to the
fowls. It cleanses the sstem ot Im

acts upon the llfo of tho fowl. When
the blood is thick and clotty, a dull,
sick chicken will soon follow. Thin
blood means vigorous circulation, nnd
on a good circulation of blood, health
largely depends. It your tow-Is lack

tho blood out ot Its sluggishness. It
Is best to keep the charcoal In a dry
place, and when needed, grind or

Start the Colt Correctly
All Young Stock Need Muscle-Forming Food and

DyCE. Drithesr, Collrfe of
Without careful attention nfter
weaning, the colt can never develop
to the size or value it was meant to
attain. This Is true with nil the stock
on the farm. They need good feed In
tho right amounts, they need exercise
and they need sunlight and fresh nlr.
The colts should not be confined to a
dark stablo where they cannot run
and play. They are worth too much
money to be deprived of the things
necessary for their development I.et

These are good feeds for some ani
mals, but they lack the muscle build

need.
Thero aro two classes of feeds,
those which form fat and tlfoso which
build muscle. All feeds servo both
purposis to some extent, but some are
so dee'dedly fat-forming and some are
so decidedly muscle building that the

For oach 100 poundr of meat use the
following amounts of preservatives.
Salt 8 lbs or 1 gat.
Hrown sugar 2 lbs. or 1 quart.
Saltpeter. .2 ozs. or 2 tablespoon fulls.
Dissolve all In four gallons of water
and cover the meat with the brine.
Bacon strips should remain In the
