Fowls in Manure Pile 
I have a flock of fine Leghorn hens that 
will fly over the fence and feed on a ma¬ 
nure pile made by a dairyman’s herd. 
Is the manure bad for them? Their legs 
are covered with it every night; as the 
manure is put out every day it is'always 
soft. A. G. 
Unless it is possible for fowls to ac¬ 
quire boviue tuberculosis from the drop¬ 
pings of tubercular cattle, there is prob¬ 
ably nothing unhealthful about this well- 
established custom of permitting the flock 
to scratch over the farm dunghill. It 
isn’t altogether pleasant for a finicky per¬ 
son to think about, as he eats his morn¬ 
ing egg. but there are a lot of things that 
we shouldn’t think about while eating, 
and eggs, each sealed; in its own original 
package, are probably the cleanest of 
foods. M. B. D. 
One ($1.00) Dollar 
For $1.00 we will send you, parcel post pre¬ 
paid, one bundle of (50 Excelsior Egg Case 
Cushions, enough for packing 10 cases, six to 
a case. This is a special sample offer to intro¬ 
duce these cushions to new customers. Regu¬ 
lar prices will be quoted by mail in larger lots. 
Excelsior Egg Case Cushions are highly 
recommended by Agricultural Colleges, Rail¬ 
way and Express Companies. Save waste and 
breakage by using our cushions. Take advan¬ 
tage of this offer. Pacific Coast price, 81.50.
