Norfolk Spec. Farms Barred and Fishel 
White Rocks, Martin White Wyandottes

How an Egg Auction Works 
(Continued from page 478) 
On the auction the identity of various 
shippers may be retained and the prefer¬ 
ences of the buyers as indicated by the 
relative prices answers beyond all doubt 
the question as to which shippers’ eggs 
are in favor at that time. Prejudiced 
salesmen or favoritism have no place on 
an auction. This elimination of suspicion 
is valuable for all trading, but is particu¬ 
larly so in a cooperative form of organi¬ 
zation. 
Any Producers Cooperative Marketing 
Association must work to accomplish the 
purposes desired by its members but 
must also reajize that in a general sense 
only those who serve can survive. They 
must have faith that if they can devise 
and adopt a method which puts the dis¬ 
tribution of eggs on a safer and more 
business-like basis, their reward will come 
in the form of better satisfied customers, 
greater efficiency and a lower cost of dis¬ 
tribution resulting in greater consumption. 
Weak Breeders Mean Weak 
Chicks 
W E have heard of a number of com¬ 
plaints concerning loss of baby chicks 
after hatching. A number we have inves¬ 
tigated can be traced directly to the 
breeding stock. 
We were at a place the other day where 
a batch of about two hundred chicks were 
under a brooder. They were about equal¬ 
ly divided between two breeds that were 
easily distinguished one from the other. 
One batch of chicks were as pert as could 
be and doing well. The other batch were 
anything but healthy. 
On inquiring it was found that the 
hardy bunch of chicks came from eggs 
that were produced from carefully mated 
hens and the other crowd of youngsters 
came from a flock that had been laying 
under lights all winter. 
To go to the trouble and expense of 
hatching eggs from stock of low vitality 
is not a paying proposition. You save a 
few cents on the price and lose dollars' in 
the long run.—M. B. Dombach, Pennsyl¬ 
vania. _ 
Time to Pluck Geese 
When is the proper time to pluck geese?—G. M. L. 
New York. 
T HE frequency with which geese are 
plucked, varies greatly. Some folks 
pluck as often as every six weeks during 
the spring, summer and early fall, while 
others pick twice, once in the spring and 
once in the fall. Others pick once in the 
spring only. 
Geese should never be picked through 
the late fall or winter or during the breed¬ 
ing season. Both old and young geese 
are picked. When the quills of the feath¬ 
ers are dry and contain blood, they are 
then ripe for picking. A good idea in 
plucking a goose is to put a stocking over 
the goose’s head. 
A Baby Chick Dollar-Maker 
XTOT every one likes to “fuss” with 
I *1 incubators. We have four 240- 
egg size Prairie State incubators. Begin¬ 
ning in March we hatch eggs for our 
neighbors for 5 cents per egg or $12 for 
the use of an incubator, the customer to 
furnish his own eggs or purchase them 
from some breeder who makes a business 
of selling eggs for hatching. 
We fill each incubator four times 
during the season. Undoubtedly one 
could make more hatching if he had eggs 
of his own from some good strain of 
layers and sold baby chicks.— Arthur 
Kenyon, New York.
