Bad Flavor in Eggs 
Lately we have been getting a few eggs 
every day that have a very dark yolk with 
a very bad odor. We feed corn and oats 
morning and nights. During the day hens 
do their own foraging. Do you think 
there is anything they could pick up that 
would cause this trouble V If not, could 
you tell us what does? We are getting 
about 70 eggs per day, and are selling 
them to private customers. I would like 
to know as soon as possible, because some 
of our customers arc starting to complain, 
which will mean lowering the price. The 
eggs are gathered fresh every day. 
New Jersey. • M. F. 
Hens getting green clover, rape, and 
perhaps some other green foods in large 
quantity sometimes lay eggs with dark- 
colored and ill-smelling yolks. This is 
probably the cause of the trouble in your 
flock. These eggs are, of course, not made 
unwholesome by these yolks, but the un¬ 
usual color and odor makes them di.s- 
tasteful to some users. ii. u. i,. 
First Choice 
of farm Hel 
difficulty of obtaining farm help 
today is not due entirely to the scarcity 
of capable workmen. In many instances 
it is due to the fact that living conditions offered 
the “hands’^ on the farm are unattractive. 
The farm laborer, as well as the farm owner, 
is learning to demand better quarters — something 
approximating what folks have in town. And the 
farm housewife is more than tired of maintaining her 
home as a rooming house for farm employees. 
Many of the best farm workers available in 
the country today are married men. Many of these 
will not accept permanent employment where they 
cannot have their families with them — and they don’t 
have to. 
The fanner who has first choice—and an 
adequate supply—of farm help today is the farmer 
who provides livable tenant houses for his employees; 
quarters where the unmarried workman may enjoy 
some measure of comfort and privacy in his .leisure 
hours and in periods of enforced idleness, and where 
the married workman may have his family with him. 
♦ 
You can make ho better investment than to 
build tenant houses for your farm help. Consultation 
with your home lumber dealer will prove to you that 
the cost of such improvements is surprisingly moderate 
if the building material you use is 
Southern Pine 
**The }Vood of Service** 
Southern Pine is the most plentiful lumber 
on the market today, and consequently is lower priced 
than any other wood of anything like the same high 
quality. It is perfectly adapted to a greater variety 
of uses than any other wood that growa 
Perfectly manufactured, accurately graded 
Southern Pine in all its forms may be had everywhere 
east of the Rocky Mountains. For tenant house con¬ 
struction, as in other farm building, it is the most ser¬ 
viceable, workable and economical material you can buy.
