.Mr. Xe\in : We ne\er Milend to lake them nut of the 

 trough before ten (la\s; after the tenth da}- we take them out 

 but never attempt to before that. 



^■Ir. Clark: As f am on record in an official wa\- I cannot 

 g-o back on it. and 1 still stick to it because 1 tried the experi- 

 ments myself. The tinie and everything was accurately noted, 

 and I was surprised at the results of some of the ex])eriments 

 mvself. 1 didn't thiid< it would be necessary to hold eggs be- 

 tween tho,-.e times, but I wouldn't to-day au}- more think of hav- 

 ing eggs turned out of tlie trough l^etween the tenth to eigh- 

 teenth days than 1 would tly. fUit. Mr. President, we give our 

 experiences here, and I do this way and you that, and we have 

 good restilts. Xow. we are not supposed to stand up here and 

 say we have had those results unless it is so, but what proves to 

 be the best wav in one case mav not do in another.
