THE HENYARD 
Sand Blast Machine for Eggs 
I have been told that a sand blast ma¬ 
chine is used in California to clean or 
polish eggs for Eastern shipment. Is 
this true? Can you tell me how it op¬ 
erates.? a. c. s. 
Regarding the sand blast machine as 
used for cleaning of eggs in this district, 
will state that there is only one machine 
of this kind in use, that being a large one 
which was specially invented for the 
Poultry Producers of Central California 
and is used in their packing plant here. 
This machine is a large affair thio’’gh 
which thousands of eggs are run every 
hour. The principle is a big sand blast 
which cuts all the dirt off the eggs as 
they pass through it on an endless roller. 
This qiachine is used particularly for 
cleaning up the so-called processed eggs, 
off which it cuts all the oil and dirt. 
The machine. I might state, was a great 
invention, and has been a wonderful as¬ 
set to the pack of the Poultry Producers 
of Central California. It is possible that 
other machines of this kind are now in 
use, for the above lias been operated for 
several years. It is very improbable that 
this idea could be incorporated in a 
smaller device for home use, for the sand 
lias to be blown with great force and the 
whole operation inclosed so that the sand 
and dust does not blow out.

Peat Litter for Poultry; Diarrhoea 
1. Do you think peat litter better than 
straw for henhouses? 2. What can be 
done for diarrhoea in hens? They have 
had it all Winter, off and on. They do 
not act sick; seem to be lively enough 
and have been laying pretty well. 
New York. h. f. a. 
1. I have never seen peat litter in use 
and cannot say from experience or obser¬ 
vation what virtues it has. If it is sim¬ 
ply dry peat, as I presume that it is, it 
Heems to me that it would soou form a 
dust upon the floor that would make a 
good absorbent for liquids and droppings, 
but that would not take the place of 
straw or other coarse material as an in¬ 
ducement to exercise in getting food upon 
the part of the hens. The statement, or 
intimation, that peat is the “world’s best 
fertilizer” is not true, and it would not

Quality chicks cost a little more than the run 
of common hatchery chicks, but they are the 
cheapest chicks ou the market today. It’s 
what they do for you next season that'counts, 
not what the chicks cost you now. BE WISE 
and invest rightly NOW for big yields of high

be true if the peat were mixed with lien 
manure, for even the mixture would still 
be a one-sided, though good, fertilizer. 
As an absorbent, however, I should ex¬ 
pect dried peat to be an excellent thing 
upon the poultry-house floor and the 
droppings platform. 
2. There are many causes of such loose¬ 
ness, and one would have to ascertain the 
cause in any given case to prescribe intel¬ 
ligently for it. Your fowls may be eating 
too much cabbage or other laxative food.

Ventilating Henhouse 
My henhouse is 20 ft. wide, 32 ft. 
long, faces South, two windows in the 
East, one in the West. Door in South. 
On the Northeast end is double wall, 
paper on inside and airtight. How many 
of these windows would it be best to 
take out and cover with white muslin? 
Iowa. J. e. c. 
I should not take out any of these 
windows to cover the space with muslin. 
I have little respect for that material as 
a ventilator, much preferring wire poul¬ 
try netting; that lets the air through. I 
should keep the windows in the ends 
closed and sealed. Those in the South 
side would be kept open, or partly open, 
always having sufficient ventilation 
through them to keep the interior reason¬ 
ably dry, and by “reasonably,” I mean 
that the air inside should be as dry, and 
cold, as it is outside. What to do when 
the thermometer goes to below 30 de¬ 
grees? Well, if you happen to be up 
then, close the windows and bang a lan¬ 
tern or two in the house, but get the 
windows open again before the moisture 
begins to collect as frost on the walls. 
Don’t be afraid of cold, dry air, as long 
as it is still air. not passing through the 
building as drafts; the time to worry is 
when the air within the poultry house be¬ 
comes full of moisture and the fowls full 
of roup, M. B. D.
