Blood Spots in Eggs 
Could you tell me the cause of an egg 
having blood spots in the white? I have 
had two eggs that way in a year. I feed 
sprouted oats, grain, mash, oyster shells, 
grit. Ileus run loose for two hours every 
day. Would too much sprouted oats be 
a cause for it? A neighbor has tw« hens 
laying soft-shelled eggs. She gets plenty 
of oyster shell. The hens run from four 
to five hours every day. e. c. s. 
Blood is sometimes mixed with the egg 
substance through the rupture of some 
small blood vessel in the oviduct through 
which the egg passes before being enclosed 
within the shell. The food has nothing 
to do with this accidental admixture of 
blood and the latter can be detected in 
the unbroken egg only by candling. Soft 
shelled eggs are also occasionally laid by 
hens that are receiving plenty of lime. 
Such hens should be given green food and 
clover or Alfalfa in addition to their 
grain and shell ration. m. b. d. 
“Stone walls do not a prison make,” 
quoted the prison visitor. “Mehbe not,” 
returned the convict, “but they make it 
blamed hard for a feller to get out.”—
