Blood  Spots  in  Eggs 
Can  you  tell  me  the  cause  of  blood 
spots  in  eggs?  I  do  not  think  the  hens 
are  laying  too  heavily,  only  what  one 
would  expect  at  this  time  of  year,  five  or 
six  cases  weekly  from  450  hens.  Their 
grain  ration  is  half  corn,  the  other  half 
wheat  and  oats.  The  mash  of  which  I 
append  formula,  may  seem  high  in  beef 
scrap,  but  sifting  shows  that  40  per  cent., 
of  the  scrap  is  hone,  wooden  skewers  and 
other  things  which  are  not.  meat.  The 
number  of  eggs  with  blood  spots  is  so 
many  that  my  dealer  has  called  my  at¬ 
tention  to  it. 
Mash  formula  ;  100  lbs.  bran,  75  lbs. 
cornmeal,  75  lbs.  middlings,  50  lbs.  Alfalfa 
meal,  50  lbs.  gluten  feed,  150  lbs.  beef 
scrap.  e.  f.  b. 
New  Jersey. 
Blood  spots  in  eggs  are  presumably 
caused  by  the  bursting  of  a  minute  blood 
vessel  somewhere  along  the  oviduct,  or  at 
the  ovary,  with  the  consequent,  pouring 
out.  of  a  clot  of  blood  which  is  included 
within  the  egg  as  it  is  formed.  It  is  a 
trouble  of  frequent  occurrence  in  well- 
fed,  heavy-laying  flocks,  and  I  know  of 
no  method  of  preventing  it,  save  such 
measures  as  would  diminish  egg  produc¬ 
tion.  Candling  the  eggs  will  detect  these 
blood  spots.  Your  mash  is  rather  heavy 
in  meat  scrap  if  the  scrap  is  of  high 
grade :  100  lbs.  in  500  of  the  mash  would 
be  ample.  M.  B.  D.

Hopper  Feeding  ;  Airing  Eggs 
How  do  you  like  the  plan  of  feeding 
laying  stock  the  different  ingredients  of 
the  dry  mash  in  separate  hoppers  and 
allowing  the  hens  to  balance  their  own 
ration?  Would  you  advise  feeding  liens 
in  confinement,  whole  oats  in  hoppers,  as 
some  recommend  ?  Is  it  advisable  to  air 
eggs  during  incubation  in  a  room  with  a 
temperature  of  from  45  to  55  degrees? 
Pennsylvania.  C,  E.  w. 
I  have  never  tried  the  plan  of  feeding 
the  ingredients  of  a  dry  mash  separately 
but  should  expect  that  the  fowls  would 
balance  their  ration  about  as  a  small  boy 
would  if  bread  and  butter,  potatoes,  meat, 
pie  and  ice  cream  were  set  before  him  and 
he  was  told  to  help  himself.  I  know  of 
no  objection  to  feeding  whole  oats  from 
hoppers,  or  in  any  other  way.  Not  being 
very  palatable,  hens  usually  eat  the 
other  grains  offered  first,  but  will  ordi¬ 
narily  eat  a  reasonable  amount  of  oats 
also,  T  see  no  advantage  in  feeding  them 
separately  from  hoppers. 
Incubator  eggs  are  “aired”  rather  for 
the  purpose  of  cooling  than  airing,  there¬ 
fore  the  temperature  of  the  room  is  im¬ 
material,  save  that  the  lower  the  temper¬ 
ature  of  the  room  the  shorter  the  time 
that  the  eggs  should  remain  out  of  the 
incubator.  M.  B.  D.

Contagious  Diseases 
In  December  I  picked  out  50  sick  hens; 
their  mouths  and  throats  were  lined  and 
tonguey  covered  with  a  yellow  skin,  very 
foul ;  deep  cankers  in  the  corner  of  the 
mouth  and  pus  in  one  eye.  I  gave  local 
treatment  with  iodine  and  alcohol  and 
sometimes  creolin  and  water.  1  also  used 
permanganate  .  of  potassium  in  drinking 
water.  Most  of  them  recovered  minus 
one  eye.  They  were  never  entirely  free 
from  the  disease  but  now  they  are  in  had 
shape  again,  I  separated  them  and 
penned  them  all  up;  40  very  sick,  lay  two 
to  10  eggs  per  day;  70  looking  fine,  42 
eggs;  30  affected,  20  eggs  per  day.  None 
is  free  from  infection  as  cases  develop 
among  those  that,  are  looking  fine.  I  have 
kept  a  careful  egg  record.  In  1908  a 
flock  of  pullets,  one  and  two-year-old  hens 
averaged  GO  eggs  per  year.  No  trap-nests 
are  used  but  I  mark  my  hens  that  lay  in 
October  and  November  before  shedding. 
I  use  their  eggs  to  set  the  following 
Spring.  My  flock  lays  well  late  in  the 
Fall  and  begins  in  March  and  now  av¬ 
erages  120  eggs  for  pullets,  one  and  two- 
year-old  hens  per  year.  1  set  my  incu¬ 
bators  May  1  and  again  three  weeks  later. 
Is  it  advisable  to  use  eggs  from  the  "look¬ 
ing  fine”  flock  for  setting?  Is  it  advis¬ 
able  to  get  vaccine  from  the  Ohio  State 
University  to  treat  this  section  of  the 
flock  before  using  their  eggs,  or  should  the 
vaccine  he  used  on  till  oases  that  develop? 
Is  the  vaccine  a  cure  for  roup  or  a  pre¬ 
ventive?  Have  rny  hens  roup?  T  might 
kill  all  sick  hens  and  sell  all  well  ones 
and  buy  eggs  to  set.  If  I  do  this  l  lose 
the  Summer's  egg  production  and  shall 
have  to  grade  another  Hook  up.  Is  the 
disease  likely  to  appear  again  in  a  new 
flock  raised  from  other  eggs  and  kept  in 
the  same  houses  and  on  the  same  ground? 
If  I  keep  this  flock  what  more  can  I  do 
to  get  them  into  normal  condition?  I 
clean  the  houses  and  use  much  lime.  I 
see  that  the  disease  is  highly  contagious 
ns  many  hens  with  spots  on  the  combs 
and  canker  look  healthy  in  color  and  ac¬ 
tions  and  lay  eggs,  hut  soon  become 
droopy  and  get  bowel  trouble  and  eat  and 
drink  very  little.  M.  s, 
Ohio. 
It  is  never  advisable  to  hatch  from 
hens  that  have  been  seriously  sick,  not 
because  disease  is  necessarily  transmitted, 
hut  because  the  vitality  of  such  fowls  is 
impaired  and  their  progeny  cannot  be  ex¬ 
pected  to  have  the  game  vigor  ns  that 
from  robust,  bealihy  stock.  I  am  not 
sufficiently  familiar  with  the  vaccine 
treatment  that  you  mention  to  advise 
you  with  regard  to  it.  You  evidently 
have  a  serious  contagious  disease  present 
in  your  flock,  very  likely  roup,  though 
avian  diphtheria  and  contagious  epithel¬ 
ioma  present  similar  symptoms  and  the 
differentiation  is  difficult  and  a  matter 
of  dispute.  At  any  rate,  radical  meas¬ 
ures  to  rid  your  premises  of  the  infection 
are  indicated.  If  young  stock  to  replace 
this  flock  cun  he  raised  apart  from  them 
and  front  disease-free  fowls,  this  would 
best  he  done.  Before  placing  the  young 
stock  in  the  old  quarters  the  latter  should 
be  most  thoroughly  eleaued  and  disinfect¬ 
ed,  and  this  should  he  done  several  weeks 
before  their  occupancy  by  the  muv  flock. 
If  slightly  sick  fowls  or  those  that  have 
apparently  recovered  are  kept,  they  are 
very  likely  to  continue  the  infection  in¬ 
definitely.  While  temporizing  measures 
may  finally  succeed  iu  Tidding  a  flock  of 
serious  infection  with  roup,  or  similar  dis¬ 
ease.  radical  ones  are  likely  to  prove  most 
satisfactory  and  least  expensive  in  the 
long  run.  M.  B.  D.

Selecting  Eggs  for  Hatching 
When  selecting  eggs  for  hatching  is  it 
safe  to  lie  guided  by  the  following:  Choose 
all  eggs  as  perfectly  "round”  as  possible. 
Discard  all  "long”  eggs  as  they  generally 
do  not  hatch.  Discard  all  "pointed”  eggs 
as  they  are  supposed  to  be  roosters? 
Cranford,  N.  J.  S.  C.  s. 
Some  hens  always  lay  “round”  eggs, 
and  others  lay  "long”  eggs,  or  “pointed” 
ones,  and  any  of  them  may  hatch  if  a 
good  active  male  bird  runs  with  the  hens. 
Th eve  is  an  "old  woman's”  notion  that 
pointed  eggs  produce  roosters  and  round 
eggs  pullets.  According  to  that  some  hens 
would  never  produce  anything  but  pullets 
and  others  nothing  bill  male  birds.  Why 
not  try  it  for  yourself?  Set  one  ben  on 
pointed  eggs  only,  and  mark  the  chicks; 
and  another  on  round  eggs,  and  next  Fall 
you  would  know  by  actual  experience 
just  how  much  truth  there  was  in  these 
theories.  Eggs  which  have  small  spots 
all  over  the  shells,  thin  places,  do  not 
hatch  well,  as  they  are  apt  to  dry  out  too 
much  ;  but  I  have  had  all  kinds  of  eggs 
hatch,  those  with  bands  or  ribs  on  the 
shell,  and  other  imperfectly  formed  shells. 
Even  double  yolked  eggs  will  hatch  occa¬ 
sionally.  GEO.  A.  COSGROVE.

There  are  no  established  rules  govern¬ 
ing  such  business  relations  as  those  be¬

there  should  be  definite  agreements  in  the

for  the  poultry  plant,  he  should,  of  course, 
supply  incubators,  brooders,  etc.,  in  com¬ 
plete  running  order.  If  be  agrees  to  fur¬ 
nish  u  horse  and  does  not  do  so,  so  that  a 
horse  has  to  be  hired,  the  hire  of  the 
horse  belongs  to  his  share  of  the  expense. 
If  a  second  horse  has  to  be  hired,  the 
expense  must  he  settled  by  mutual  agree¬ 
ment  ;  A  cannot  be  expected  to  furnish 
two  horses  if  he  agreed  to  furnish  only 
one,  Tl’  A  agrees  to  furnish  baby  chicks, 
he  should  pay  all  expenses  connected 
with  delivering  them  at  the  plant  If 
extra  equipment  is  needed,  A  should  he 
consulted  and  his  consent  obtained  before 
it  is  purchased,  but  he  should  pay  for 
such  equipment  if  it  was  originally  agreed 
that  B  was  to  furnish  only  his  skill  and 
labor.  'Profits’  consist  of  surplus  in
