By Professor H. L. Kempster of the University of Missouri. Probably no one thing the farmer can do will improve the poultry in- dustry more than taking care with the eggs.” According to Prof. H. L. Kemp- ster of the University of Missouri, the first thing every raiser of chickens should do, if he plans to use or sell eges for the market, is to remove the roosters from the laying flock. The rooster is not necessary there, and the eggs from the flock will be much bet- ter keepers 'when he is gone. The next’ thing to do in improving the eggs is to grade them and throw out the bad ones. By gathering only from nests that are known, and using | Missouri Pacific Time Table NORTH.

A strictly fresh }egg shows clear and transitucent oe- creep in an and when it vecasionally egg that is not good, jreaches some housewife she will not 'feel friendly toward the farmer. The lway to find these occasional bad eggs is to candle the whole lot. This will tell which ones are not marketable. A strictly fresh egg shows clear and translucent under the candle, There are no spots or shadows in it. As it gets older, the air space at the large end grows, due to the evaporation of the moisture through the shell. The expert candler can tell pretty closely the age of an egg by the size of the air space. Another thing that happens as the egg gets a little past the strictly fresh stage is that the yolk, which normally is held directly in the center of the white, settles to one side so that as the egg is turned the shadow of the yolk can be seen swinging around. This does not indicate that the egg is necessarily bad, but that it is likely not absolutely fresh. An egg that has been fertilized, but has received a chill or some condition which killed the growing germ, shows a very characteristic appearance. There will likely be a very dark spot on one side, and probably a ring or series of rings around this. Also the air space is likely to be large. This kind of an egg is, of course, not usable. It may not be rotten yet, but it soon will be. there will ‘FORAGE CROPS.

It takes only a moment to examine an egg before the flame of the lamp, and when this is done there is no dan- ger of sending that occasional bad egg that causes trouble wherever it goes. The lamp candler shown in the illustration is a very inexpensive type, such as is sent out with incubators to test the fertility of the eggs.
