How many eggs do you sell like
the above" Do you really give the
question of grading eggs any consid-
eration Do you cosider 12 eggs. as
IL' things with shells that look like
eggs? Remember in order to get a
good price for eggs you should sell
1U good eggs for a dozen.
! Y«>u Cannct Raise Chickens on Horse
Back.
The other day, the question was
asked a court house group, why do
wer promptly came hack from another
not farmers raise chickens, the ans-
member of the same group, because
you cannot raise chickens on horse-
back. 1 am wondering just how true
that is. The ideal place for chickens
is on the farm. Four or five hundred
bred-to-lay hens on a farm, properly
managed, can represent a profitable
side-line. Probably not every farm-
er, has the proper state < f mind that
is necessary to make a success with
poultry. For that reason we are not
pincing i urselvea on record, as re-
commending 'hat every farmer keep
a flock of chickens. T*ur fear that
we may be misunderstood, in regard
to the loose use of the phrase "proper
state of mind" we are going to explain
it a little more in detail. At a meet-
ing somewhere, sometime, « complaint
was made that t.here was no money
in chickens, because feed was too
high and eggs too cheap. A man got
up in the audience and told that the
feed question did not worry him any.
Me stated that, he had i 00 acres of
cut iver-land and 1000 hens. For
each hen he provided two roosters to
scratch for her, and at any time when
two roosters could not scratch fast
enough to feed one hen he would kill
off the roosters and provide her witJi
two new ones.
The above no doubt explains why
>> some Texas and Okiahoma fa* ma,
there appears to be an out of pro-
po tiornte numb-T of -foster* with
the farm flocks. No wonder, our
campaigns to put over an "infertile
egg" project, in spring and summer
after hatching season, comes to sure
failure.
With this explanation made, as to
what we meant by state of mind, may-
be we can go on with our story.

of a perfect egg was considered in

Weight for dozen, 21 to 26 ounces.

Of strife and toil, and with the hush

Nor seek for selfish gain—

Lest they have died in vain.

In answer to their country's call.
I he long last rest they've won.

And now they sleep "Where Poppies Blow."
I or them we'll carry on.
