POULTRY
PACK EGGS TO SHIP
IN STANDARD CASES
Eggs for shipment should be packed
in new standard thirty-dozen cases
with new fillers and flats and six
excelsior pads. The fillers should
weigh not less than 3% pounds to the
set. No claim for breakage will be
paid by the express company for eggs
packed In second-hand brown fillers.
Careful grading, good fillers and good
cases will pay. Most breakage Is due
to the use of bud fillers and poor pack
ing. The nse of excelsior pads has
reduced breakage 75 per cent.
In packing the eggs first place an
excelalor pad in the bottom of the
case, then place a filler on this. It
will be noted in the honeycomb fillers
that two opposite sides of the walls
surrounding the eggs l are firm and the
other two opposite sides are flexible.
The sides of the filler that are flexible
should run parallel to the sides of the
case. This lessens chance for break
age on the cars, since the egg cases
are piled In the cars with the sides of
the cases parallel to the sides of the
car. This method allows the firm part
of the filler to hold eggs against the
sudden Jars caused by stopping and
starting of the train. 'Place the eggs
In this filler with the small ends down,
Imbedding themselves In the excelsior
pad. On top of the first layer of eggs
place a flat followed by a filler, again
placing eggs small ends down. Pack
the third and fourth layers the same
as the second. Directly on the fourth
layer place another excelsior pad,
packing the fifth layer of eggs directly
on this pad, In the same manner as
the first layer. On this top layer place
another excelsior pad. The cover
should be nailed on with five three
penny large-headed nails at each end,
but none in the middle. This leaves
a bulge in the center of the case that
absorbs shocks, yet holding the con
tents firmly.
At each end of the case place a tag
bearing shipper’s and receiver’s ad
dress.
Turkey Success Depends
Greatly on Free Range
“Turkeys cannot be raised In brood
ers nor in the back yard with chick
ens,” says H. B. Landsen of the Uni
versity of Arkansas extension service.
“Turkey hens are more successful with
young turkeys than are chicken hens.
Let them forage all they wish. They
require some wild variety of feed
which they find when at liberty.
“The dread disease known as black
head destroys more than 60 per cent
of all turkeys hatched,” says Land
sen. “The only preventive and rem
edy that has been discovered so far
is ipecac. As a preventive, begin with
the turkeys when they are two or three
weeks old, giving a teaspoonful of
powdered Ipecac to each unit of ten
turkeys, twice a week, until they are
ten weeks old. Those visibly sick may
be treated fairly successfully with five
drops of tincture ipecac three times a
day, but sick birds should be re
moved from the flock while being
treated.”
Several Kinds of Feed
Good for Laying Fowls
“To feed nothing but whole grain
is one of the common mistakes in
poultry feeding,” says Prof. L. E. Card,
University of Illinois. “A complete
ration for laying hens must contain
not only scratch feed, or whole grain,
but. also ground feeds, animal protein,
green feed, mineral feed, and water.
The omission of any one of these Is
certain to result in lower production
than would otherwise be possible.
When hens can be allowed to range,
especially during the spring and sum
mer months, they obtain a variety of
feeds for themselves. During the win
ter, however, when there is little te
be picked up, care mast be takes to
supply everything needed.
Mash is all right, but “slop” should
never be tolerated.
• • •
The best hens In the turkey flock
should be kept as breeders.
• • •
In cases of soft crop, a gill of strong
vinegar in a quart of drinking water
is recommended.
• • •
Almost any kind of litter is good
so long as It is clean and dry; but
don’t let the fowls work In damp
scratching material.
\ * * *
Select breeders that are nearest
standard of perfection and have
health, vigor and egg-laying capacity.
• • •
The hen has not yet been invented
that can make eggs without shell ma
terial to work on. Oyster shell or
broken limestone will supply the
need.
• • •
The cause of roup, colds, and cfclek
enpox Is often traceable to damp, un
clean Utter. A bale of musty straw j
used as litter has often cansed she I
death of hens. <

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—Sins That Destroyed Israel.
The kingdom of Israel reached a
high state of prosperity In the time
of Jeroboam 11, and with It came a
condition of luxury, corruption and
wickedness. Our lesson is a temper
ance lesson and applies to other things
as well as Indulgence In Intoxicating
liquor. Our age and nation are intox
icated with pleasure, pursuit of gain
and selfish ambition.
I. The Sins Which Ruined Israel
(Amos 6:1-6).
1. Reckless Security (vv. 1.3). They
were blind to the evils that surround
ed them. They were living In a fool’s
paradise, closing their eyes to the ap
proaching storm of Judgment as pre
dicted by Amos. They trusted In the
mountains of Samaria for their pro
tection. They regarded their city as
impregnable. They no doubt regarded
the utterances of Amos as the dreams
of a fanatic. The chief ones of
the nation were so puffed up with
pride that they failed to read the
signs of the times In the light of his
tory’ (v. 2). To disregard the lessons
of history by dismissing the thought of
impending Judgment Is to bring near
the seat of violence” (v. 3).
2. Luxury (vv. 4-6). Periods of
prosperity are always characterized by
corruption and luxury. The luxury of
Samaria expressed itself In
(1) Extravagant Furniture (v. 4).
They had beds of ivory, perhaps wood
Inlaid with ivory.
(2) Laziness (v. 4). They stretched
themselves upon their couches —living
lives of Indolence.
(3) Feasted on delicacies (v. 4). The
implication here Is that they had their
dainties out of season. This Is what
many pride themselves In. They buy
what they desire regardless of what It
costs. In many instances men and
women are living In gluttony while
others are destitute.
(4) Adorned their feasts with music
(v. B). They sang Idle songs, even
Invented musical Instruments for this
purpose. They prostituted the noble
art of music to their sensual feasts.
How like the times In which we live.
(5) They drank wine (v. 6). They
were not content with ordinary drink
ing vessels. They drank from bowls,
Indicating excessive drinking. They
were so mastered by the Intoxicating
cup that their feasts, which were
adorned with the refinements of music,
ended In drunkenness.
3. Failure to Grieve for Joseph
(v. 6). Joseph here stands for
Ephraim and Manasseh, his two sons.
Ephraim became the principal tribe of
the northern kingdom, go Joseph Is
used as a synonym for the nation.
Many are Indulging in Infamous lux
ury, entirely indifferent to the groan-
Ing6 of others. There is need of a
modern Amos to thunder God’s Judg
ment upon all those who are living In
luxury and who are at ease In Zion —
the Inevitable Issue of such living, the
prophet assures them, would be that
they should go Into captivity (v. 7)
and tholr proud city be delivered up
to their enemies (v. 8).
11. The Remedy Proposed (Hosea
6:1-0).
1. Turn Back to God (v. 1). The
only way for sinning Individuals and
nations to escape the Judgment of God
is with heartbreaking sorrow to re
pent and return to God. Hosea as
sures them that though God had torn
and smitten them He will heal and
bind up if they repent.
2. Believe In His Power to Restore
(▼. 2). This power even extends to a
national resurrection for Israel.
3. Obedience (v. 3). It Is through
the obedient walk and communication
with the Lord that they were to know
His forgiving mercy.
4. The Issue (vv. 3-6). Such peni
tence would make restoration abso
lutely certain. Grace is even more cer
tain than the laws of nature. Just as
showers result In fruitfulness in na
ture, conformity with the righteous
commands of the Lord will result In
blessings from Him, for His Supreme
desire Is not for man to bring offer
ings of sacrifice but to walk In the
knowledge of God.
The Bondage of Fear
Like the cellar-growing vine is tbe
Christian who lives in the darkness
and bondage of fear. But let him go
forth, with the liberty of God, Into
the light of love, and he will he like
the plant in the field, healthy, robust,
and Joyful.—W. H. Beacher.
Think
The greatest events of an age are
Its best thoughts. It Is the nature
of thought to find Its way Into action.
—Christian Cynosure.
