More  Fresh-laid  “  Stale”  Eggs 
In  your  issue  of  March  4th  I  notice 
an  article  entitled  “Fresh-laid  ‘Stale’ 
Eggs,”  the  sbilene.se  evidently  being 
caused  by  some  disturbance  Of  the  repro¬ 
ductive  organs.  I  had  an  experience  some 
years  ago  with  a  fresh-laid  staleness  of 
another  sort,  but  equally  disturbing,  It 
illustrates  the  extreme  care  necessary  tn 
produce  eggs  that  are  really  fresh  and 
entirely  wholesome. 
It  was  in  the  Spring  just  after  the 
hens  had  been  given  free  range  with 
plenty  of  grass.  They  were  laying  heavi¬ 
ly  and  the  eggs  were  gathered  regularly. 
Vet  they  were  so  “stale"  that  we  could 
not  endure  them  on  the  breakfast  table, 
to  say  nothing  of  eating  them.  We 
looked  for  :.  contaminated  food  or  water 
supply,  but  found  none.  Finally  we  re¬ 
moved  some  patent  nest-eggs  which  were 
guaranteed  to  drive  away  lice.  The  stale¬ 
ness  suddenly  stopped.  Wo  never  blamed 
the  lice  for  leaving.  The  experience  was 
worth  all  it  cost,  for  since  then  we  have 
used  no  nest-eggs  whatever,  patented  or 
otherwise.  They  are  a  nuisance  and  en¬ 
tirely  mi  neeossa  l-y. 
Maryland.  fuku  j.  van*  hoesent 
I  have  read  S.  T.  Walker's  account 
of  “Fresh-laid  (Stale!  Eggs.”  and  want 
to  say  that  I  believe  him  right.  Last 
year  I  had  a  very  similar  case.  I  was 
dressing  the  very  heaviest  hens  for  a 
private  customer.  This  large  fat  hen  I 
picked  up  weighed.  I  think,  D'A  pounds. 
I  noticed  her  comb  was  a  little  dark,  hut 
she  seemed  to  In*  eating  and  scratching 
with  the  other  hens  when  I  caught  her. 
I  usually  kill  ami  pick,  then  wait  until 
the  uext  morning  before  drawing,  to  have 
them  cooled.  In  hot  weather  I  throw 
them  into  cold  water  right  after  picking, 
but  in  the  Winter  hang  them  in  cellar. 
1,  as  usual,  weighed  the  hens  and  then 
began  drawing  and  heading.  I  noticed 
that  the  skin  looked  coarse,  but  thought 
being  a  very  heavy  hen  it  would  be  so. 
When  I  opened  the  bird  a  lot  of  dirty 
yellow  water  spouted  out  onto  the  floor, 
about  a  pint.  Then  I  took  out  a  good 
handful  of  pieces  of  dried  yolks  and  shells 
and  five  big  eggs.  There  was  no  shell 
upon  them,  but  they  felt  just  like  India 
rubber,  I  did  not  measure  one.  hut  they 
were  till  larger  than  a  ay  double-yolkcd. 
The  stove  was  right  handy  and  I  hustled 
everything,  hen  and  all,  into  the  fire.

ttskocl  by  J.  II.  II..  Massachusetts,  re¬ 
garding  tlic  feeding  value  of  rlmbavb 
leaves  for  poultry,  I  have  about  1-5  bills 
of  the  improved  “large  leaf"'  variety,  and 
for  the  last  two  years  it  has  been  inside 
the  benyard  fence.  The  hens  do  not 
touch  it  even  when  all  other  green  food 
lias  been  eaten.  My  advice  would  he  not 
to  feed,  or  try  to  prepare  in  any  way  for 
feed,  anything  that  the  hens  will  not  cat 
in  the  growing  state.  Why  does  not  J.

Space  for  Young  Chicks 
Will  you  let  me  know  what  size  house 
will  accommodate  500  young  chicks?  I 
wish  to  have  them  occupy  the  house  until 
they  weigh  two  to  three  pounds  apiece. 
Greenwood,  Del.  R.  A.  H. 
I  take  it  that  you  are  contemplating 
brooding  the  500  chi.cks  under  one  colony 
coal-burning  stove.  I  would  suggest 
that  a  shed  roof  house  eight  feet  high,  in 
front  and  five  feet  five  inches  in  the 
back,  12  feet  wide  find  14  feet  deep  he 
used.  The  room  12x1-1  has  worked  out 
very  well  with  the  writer.  At  the  age 
of  about  six  to  eight  weeks  the  Docks 
should  lie  divided,  as  it  is  unwise  to  keep 
so  many  chicks  together  until  tlu-y  weigh 
two  or  three  pounds.  With  Leghorns  the 
sexes  should, be  separated  as  soon  as  pos¬ 
sible  and  the  two  Hocks  kept  separate. 
w.  c.  T. 
Legborns  and  Buttercups 
Referring  to  the  notes  on  page  455. 
relative  to  Leghorns  and  Buttercups,  I 
beg  to  take  exception  to  some  of  the  argu¬ 
ments  of  Dr.  Burr. 
As  to  size  I  would  say  that  75  per  cent, 
of  my  Buttercup  cockerels  of  last  season 
weighed  front  41b  to  5Ve  pounds  each  "it 
six  mouths,  pullets  from  three  to  four 
pounds  each,  which  is  not  “one  pound 
lighter”  than  Leghorns.  The  fact  that 
there  have  been  hut  few  entries  of  But¬ 
tercups  in  laying  contests  has  been  be¬ 
cause  there  were  not  many  in  the  coun¬ 
try.  and  most  of  them  in  small  Hocks  for 
experiment.  Three  pens  in  competition 
with  several  hundred  pens  cannot  prove 
or  disprove  anything. 
I  claim  that  Buttercups  are  larger, 
quieter,  nnd  that  they  lay  a  larger  and 
more  attractive  egg  than  Leghorns ;  that 
they  are  hardier  at  all  times  and  espe¬ 
cially  so  as  chicks,  with  n  laying  season 
that  extends  well  into  the  L  ull.  So  much 
from  personal  knowledge  without  any 
grandfather  clause.  What  seems  to  he 
entirely  reliable  information  as  to  the 
origin  of  breed  is  decidedly  at  variance 
with  the  doctor’s  formula.
