SPECIAL NOTICE 
Those purchasing eggs for hatching and baby 
chicks must understand that they are assuming 
some risk when ordering from a distance. For the 
most part eggs and chicks carry safely, but some¬ 
times rough handling by the express companies 
or exposure to heat and cold causes damage. 
That eggs fail to hatch or chicks die is not con¬ 
clusive evidence of bad faith on the part of the 
seller, and we shall not consider claims on that 
basis. To avoid controversy buyer and seller 
should have a definite understanding as to the 
responsibility assumed in case of dissatisfaction.

Fertile Eggs for Preserving 
On page 633 is a communication from 
Mrs. Milton E. Fish, who disagrees with 
Mr. Ralston B. Hannas’ article in the 
issue of April 6, in which he urged the 
use of sterile eggs for home preservation. 
Mrs. Fish’s fortunate experience with fer¬ 
tile eggs does not disprove anything Mr. 
Hannas says. Fertile eggs in which the 
germs had not the remotest chance to 
start development may be successfully pre¬ 
served. Neither Mr. Hannas nor anyone 
else will dispute that point. 
What Mr. Hannas wished to emphasize 
is that eggs bought for home preservation 
should he infertile. Between the time 
they are laid and the time they are de¬ 
posited in the consumer’s water glass 
croox, eggs are very often exposed to con¬ 
ditions favorable to germ development. 
If such has taken place it cannot be de¬ 
tected from the outside, but the consumer. 
May 25, 1918 
or in that case more likely the would-be 
consumer, will be doomed to a very dis- 
agreebale disappointment. If the person 
wishing to preserve eggs takes them from 
the nest himself, is sure that no broody 
hen or successive laying hens have sat 
on them, that after taken from nest eggs 
will not be exposed to a temperature of 
more than 80 degrees, be may safely u.se 
fertiles. In all other cases which. I am 
afraid will be the majority. i\Ir. Ilannas’ 
advice to procure infertile eggs should cer¬ 
tainly be followed. MRS. a. j. asiier. 
Connecticut. 
Green Cut Bone 
I have bought a bone cutter and am 
going to feed green cut bone instead of 
beef scrap. I wish to feed it separately, 
and would like to know how much to feed 
each laying hp per day, and is this feed 
better for laying hens and growing stock 
than beef scrap? What do you think 
would be a fair price for good fresh beef 
bones? b. r. c. 
Pennsylvania. 
I believe that an ounce of green cut 
bone per day is considered a full ration 
by those who use it. If this, or any 
other amount, proves too much, as shown 
by loose or bloody discharges, it should be 
cut down, however. I have never fed 
green bone to any extent and know few 
poultrymen who do unless they have pow¬ 
er other than muscle for cutting it. It 
will replace meat scrap, but I do not know 
that it is any better. I think that meat 
scrap has very largely replaced green 
bone in the last few years, but can see 
that the present very high price of the 
former may bring the bone cutter back 
into favor again. m. b. d. 
Improving Plumage of Show Birds 
Can you tell me how f^e big breeders 
of white birds get the brilliant white on 
their show birds? H. P. 
New York. 
The addition of oilmeal in some little 
quantity to the ration helps to give a 
glossy appearance to the Iplumage of 
fows, and those shown at exhibitions 
have, in addition, gone through a careful 
laundering to remove dirt and discolora¬ 
tion. White ^ birds should be carefully 
washed in tepid water, with a good white 
soap, then as carefully rinsed, blued and 
dried in warm, clean quarters. Handle 
carefully to avoid breaking the plumage 
and about as a good housewife would 
launder the pillow shams in the best spare 
bedroom. m. b. D. 
Gapes in Chickens 
An Ohio correspondent vouches for the 
sncceas of the sulphur treatment for gapes 
in chickens. Her remedy is one large 
teaspoonful of flour of sulphur mixed 
with a quart of cornmeal, this being made 
into a moist mash with hot water and fed 
to the ailing chicks. She. directs that it 
he fed for three mornings, omitted for a 
like number of mornings, and again con¬ 
tinued in the same way until the need for 
it_ has passed. Relief should he given 
within two days. It is a simple remedy, 
and, if as efficacious as “John’s \^Yfe’’ 
believes that she has found it in her own 
and her neigbijor’s experience, worth many 
dollars to poultrymen. m. b. d. 
Influence of Vibration on Hatching Eggs 
A has an incubator in a cellar which 
has a dirt floor, about 15 feet from a chop¬ 
ping block on which B chops wood at ir¬ 
regular periods. ■S^Tlat harm, if auy, would 
result, and at what stage of incubation 
would damage occur? Would blood rings 
he apt to occur from the jar caused by 
the chopping? Also, would the jar inter¬ 
fere with the hatching on the 21st day? 
Connecticut. e. k. L. 
I do not think it possible that hatching 
could he interfered with at auy stage by 
the use of the chopping block that you 
speak of. It would be a pretty vigorous 
operator that would jar the earth with an 
ax, iuid it would take pretty vigorous 
jarring to affect the eggs in an incubator. 
Blood rings occur as a result of the death 
of the embryo within the shell; I know 
of no evidence that any ordimiry vibration 
contributes to this death. M. n. D. 
Red Dog Flour 
Can you tell me just wliat red dog 
flour is composed of? Is it all right to 
he used in place of middlings in a mash 
for baby chicks? I cannot get the mid¬ 
dlings any more. g. m. 
Rhode Island. 
Red dog flour differs very little from 
middlings, except that it contains the 
germ of the wheat kernel. Ft is perfectly 
ill! right to substitute it for middlings iu 
feed for chicks. ii. f. j. 
Winter grains, wheat and rye. look 
flue; ratlier more in than usual. Milk on 
the average 8c wholesale delivered, and 
4c retail. Dairy cows, $100 to $140; 
beef cows sell better, $75 to $90, Pota¬ 
toes dropped to $1 or $1.25, and not much 
demand at that. The leading produce 
here is corn, oats and potatoes, hut the 
outlook is rather poor. With no help to 
be had, there is not so much being put 
in and many are selling off all their cows, 
as the price of feed and help is more 
than they can stand. Auction sales are 
to be seen all over. a. w. b.
