Sick Ducks! don’t produce 
profits-- 
Are your ducks a profit or a loss as 
they waddle to their feed? Depends on 
whether they’re healthy stock or sick. 
w^The same is true of your kitchen 
range. It’s using fuel economically, and 
giving good cooking results—or it is a 
lame duck. Sturdy construction gives 
promise of long service in your 
Sterling Rang e 
It is scientifically built for thorough 
fuel conversion into proper cooking 
results . 1 ^ 1 It may cost a little more 
than cheaper ranges but more than 
repays the difference in results. 
May we send yon a booklet telling all 
about the different advantages of the 
Sterling Ranges? A penny postal saying 
“Yes” is a good investment.

laying contest, the following facts are given: 
It is held at Storrs post office in connection 
with the Connecticut Agricultural College. The 
contest begins November 1. There are 10 pul¬ 
lets in each pen. All tbe birds receive uniform 
treatment. The house? are all alike, and the 
feed is the same for all. The contest continues 
for one year. The weekly records cover the num¬ 
ber of eggs laid for each pen in the current 
week, and also the total number of eggs laid 
since the first of last November. The contest 
will end November 1. at which time these birds 
will be removed, and another set of pullets en¬ 
tered for the next year.

Eggs Shake in Shells 
Could you tell why strictly fresh eggs 
shake in the shell? Have taken a few to 
our local store and was informed they 
were not good because they shook. I 
have sold to other people with no com¬ 
plaint. C. Y. 
There is an air cell in each egg. this 
consisting of a bubble of air of varying 
size held in a pocket between the outer 
and inner shell membranes. This bubble 
of air acts as a buffer to the egg contents. 
If its enclosing membrane becomes rup¬ 
tured by rough handling, the air bubble 
is permitted to move freely about in the 
white of the egg. the buffer is destroyed 
and the contents may be felt to strike 
agiiinst the shell when the egg is vigor- 
ously shaken. Such eggs are commonly 
decayed, but if the egg contents have 
evaporated to a considerable extent, or 
the enclosing membranes of the air cell 
have become broken, the pounding may 
become evident while the egg is still fresh.
