flavor, so often characteristic of packed 

 eggs. The months from March to June are 

 perhaps the best for preserving, but it may 

 be done at any time. 



It has been shown by experiment that 

 unfertilized eggs can be better and longer 

 preserved than fertile eggs, and they bring 

 a better price in the summer, for the reason 

 that they possess a more agreeable flavor.

How to Be a Chicken Fancier 



IN SOME localities, a considerable busi- 

 ness is done by enterprising farmers in 

 raising pure-bred poultry for near-by fanciers. 

 Some of the latter have small places, and are 

 not able to raise the number of chickens re- 

 quired for their business, or to give them 

 the free range requisite for their best devel- 

 opment. Some fanciers, too, handle several 

 breeds, and like to have different breeds 

 raised on separate farms. This is the far- 

 mer's opportunity. Sometimes the fowls 

 are turned over to him already mated for 

 business, his work being to produce the eggs, 

 then turn them into chicks to be raised into 

 the future prize winners. Many a farmer has 

 become a fancier himself by this means. 

 Many have found it a profitable business 

 proposition, and there is opportunity for 

 many more. Methods of paying for this 

 service vary, but in general, something above 

 the price of straight market poultry is 

 realized.

Whitewash as a Disinfectant 



NOT only in the spring but all during 

 the year chicken houses and coops 

 need to be kept clean and free from any 

 possible chance of becoming infested with 

 vermin. Whitewash is the best and easiest 

 thing for the purpose, and can be made 

 without much trouble. Slake half a bushel 

 of lime, covering it to keep in the steam; 

 then strain. Dissolve a peck of salt in 

 warm water, and add to the lime. Boil 

 three pounds of rice to a thin paste, and 

 stir this in while it is hot. Add one-half 

 pound whiting, one pound of dissolved 

 glue, and five gallons of water. Stir well, 

 and let it stand for a few days. 



If brooders have been in use during the 

 winter, clean them thoroughly before storing. 

 Use the whitewash for them also, but add 

 one ounce of carbolic acid as a disinfectant.

Tile Drainage 



NO other single improvement in the man- 

 agement of New York soils promises 

 to give as large net returns as thorough 

 drainage," says Elmer O. Fippin, who is 

 urging people to try tile drainage. We will 

 pay $25 to any amateur or private gardener 

 who will send us a first-class, true story of 

 experience with tile drainage in a home 

 garden. Write to the Cornell Experiment 

 Station at Ithaca, N. Y., for a copy of Mr. 

 Fippin's bulletin, and see if you can't apply 

 it to the home garden.
