Grading Eggs 
I am president of a poultry club here 
with 100 members, representing 40,000 
hens. We have always marketed our 
eggs any old way. A small select number 
of us are going to hire a randier to can¬ 
dle, grade and pack our eggs. Will such 
an endeavor have to he organized and 
incorporated in order to sell under one 
name and brand? What will one candler 
cost us per month, a fairly good man at 
the job? How many cases of eggs can 
he caudle, grade, pack and ship in one 
day? We want to know what supply of 
eggs he will have to have to keep him 
busy. W. \v. V. 
Accord. N. Y. 
Such a business should be organized, 
and we advise you to correspond with 
Charles R. White of Bureau of Co-opera¬ 
tion, Agricultural Department, Albany, 
N. Y. He will give you full information 
about the best way to proceed. 
As for a candler, this business or pro¬ 
fession is controlled by a union, and the 
union scale of wages would be enforced. 
These wages run from $40 to $53 a week 
for a 44-hour week, the price depending 
on the candler’s skill. The number of 
eggs which such a man could handle will 
Well Bred and Sturdy 
Kerr's Chicks live and grow up into 
laying flocks. They are hatched from 
eggs produced in a district that is 
noted for its poultry community in¬ 
terest. The hens have the run of big 
farms that develop them into healthy 
birds. No wonder their chicks do so 
well! 
The eggs sre incubated under the vig¬ 
ilant eyes of specialists. Their skill 
enables you to buy chicks bred from 
high class, vigorous stock, much 
cheaper than you could buy eggs and 
do it yourself. 
We guarantee that every chick will 
reach you alive and healthy, or be 
replaced by us or your money re¬ 
funded.

The Care of Guinea Hens 
Can any R. N.-Y. readers give me 
points in raising guinea fowls? Will 
they lay and sit if kept shut in witli 
chickens, or must they run wild? 
Highland, N. Y. E. M. L. w. 
The best way to raise young guineas is 
to place 10 or 17 guinea eggs under a 
nice gentle broody ben. The eggs will 
hatch iu about four weeks. Feed the 
young guineas often, same as you would 
young chickens, and give plenty of clean 
drink. After they are three or four days 
old. if possible, let the mother wander 
with her young, and they will gather 
many insects which they will thrive upon. 
Always he sure to have them safely 
housed at night. Guineas do better when 
allowed to wander, and, iu fact, it is hard 
to keep them shut up. as they easily tly 
over the highest fence.

I have had guineas ley in the hens’nests 
early in the Spring, but they prefer to go 
and hide their nests out in the open. 
Here the mother guinea will sit and 
hatch her brood if not disturbed, but 
old guineas do not make the best mothers. 
They have wild instincts, and are hard to 
manage. They often travel too far for 
their young, and often lose the young iu 
the wet grass. Guineas should be allowed 
their freedom; they do little harm to gar¬ 
den or crops, as they seldom scratch like 
chickens, but are continually hunting in¬ 
sects, their natural food.

depend somewhat on the time of the year. 
In the warm season eggs have to he 
handled with great care, for there are 
slight defects from the heat. All the 
way from 22 to 30 cases a day would be 
a fair range for* a good candler. He 
ought to grade and pack 40 to 30 crates 
per day.

Disinfecting Henhouse; Worms in Horses 
1. Would you give me the name of a 
good disinfectant for a henhouse? llow 
should u henhouse be cleaned? I am 
thinking of putting a brooder in part of 
the henhouse. Do you think if I clean 
it well the lice will bother the young 
chicks? 2. I would also like to know a 
good remedy for worms in horses. Our 
horses seem to have a lot of them, as they 
rub the hair out of their tails, M. J. N. 
1, Creoliu (smelly) or one of the good 
Coal-tar disinfectants and dips sold by 
dealers in farm supnlics. Your dealer 
will have them. T’se with a sprayer. 
Clean it henhouse just as often as you 
can get around to it. You won't overdo 
the matter, and if you can make it a 
Spring and Fall function, you will heat 
most poultrymeu. You will have to do a 
pretty thorough job of cleaning if you 
rid a henhouse of lice, aud if hens are 
kept in an adjoining part of the building, 
tin* young chicks will be quite sure to 
become lousy. Better use another aud 
separate building if you can.
