The egg industry is already of consid-; an abundance of green food;, these
erable commercial importance. The egg ■
production of the United States for 1S90
was estimated at 820,000,(100 dozen, and
these figures are generally considered
too low. Our own state was credited
by the census of 1890 with 11,522,788
dozen eggs. The demand has always
been somewhat ahead of the supply in
Georgia. Under the influence of pam*«
phlets sent but by the Agricultural De
partments of the United States and of
the several states, assisted by the work
of the various experiment stations, there
has been of late years great improve
ment in the methods of feeding and
caring for poultry and in the selection
of laying stock, so that the egg produc
tion has greatly increased.
There is always a market for poultry
and eggs for food, and the raising of
fancy stock for breeding purposes pays
well in some localities.
In earlier times, eggs, when sold, were
marketed near the place where they
were produced. But with improved
methods of transportation large quanti
ties are now shipped from the United
States and Canada to remote points on,
this continent and even to Englaiid and
more distant countries. There are spe
cial egg cases'for shipping to far-distant
points.
Cf course eggs that are to be trans
ported a long distance must be kept
fresh by artificial means. Fresh eggs
pnt into cold storage with a pure atmos
phere at a temperature of 34 degrees
Fahrenheit suffer very little ohange in
their quality. When carried on cars or
steamships they should be kept in a
temperature of from 42 to 88 degrees.
When the cases are removed from the
cold storage chamber, they should not
be opened at once in a warm atmos
phere, but should be left for at least two
days unopened.
In the last two or three years a new
method of preserving eggs has been
.tested with gratifying results, The
North Dakota Experiment Station has
paid particular attention to this prob
lem. The new method referred to is to •
pack the eggs in a suitable vessel which
must be clean and sweet and then pour
carefully over tnem a solution of what
is called water; glass. Tnis is the popu
lar name for potassium silicate, or for
sodium silicate, the commercial article
being often a mixture of the two. Water,
glass is commonly sold in two forms, a
syrup-thick liquid, of about the consis
tency of molasses, and a powder.
According to the results obtained
from experiments a solution of. the de
sired strength for preserving eggs may
be made by dissolving one part of the
syrup thick waterglass in ten parts of
water. If; waterglass powder is used,
less is required for a given quantity of
water. Only pure water should be used
in making, the solution. Therefore it is
best to boil it and cool it before mixing
with the waterglass.
If wooden kegs or barrels are used for
packing the eggs they must’ he thor-
hens laid during the 360 days >114 eggs
each, while those not thus supplied laid
onlp 90 eggs each.
It would seem, therefore, that in win
ter, when eggs bring the highest price,
it is very important to have on hand for
the fbwls' soine kind of green food. Ih
summer, too, they should have a run
sufficiently large to give them abund
ance of succulent vegetable matter.
But, of course, one of the most im-'
portant uses of eggs is the raising of
more chickens. There is always a great
demand'in the market for broilers; In
order'to increase the supply, of broilers
and frying sized chickens the various
' kinds of incubators have been made.
Every chioken raiser of this day is fa
miliar with the incubator. The man
who goes into the business of raising
chickens for the market will heed one;
but let him beware of cheap articles,
for, like almost all cheap things, they
are worthless. ‘
The market has been flooded within-
. cubators of various’ kinds at prices rang
ing from ,$5 to $15. These have proved
unsatisfactory and have* .brought great
difavor Upon all such ^machines. The
trouble was they w.ere too cheap to be
of any account.
If an incubator is needed, buy only ,a.
firstclass one, which can now be bought
for $30. — State Agricultural Depart

Remarks on Cattle Quarantine Line.
Dr. Rice'P. Steddom, United States
cattle inspector for the district east of
the Mississippi, a few 1 days ago ex
pressed himself as highly pleaded with
the work done by the department of ag
riculture on the line of getting our cat-'
tie rid of the tick and securing a lower
ing of the quarantine liffe. He Said that
Georgia was perhaps doing better than,
any of the other southern states and ‘
that in appreciation of the work done in
this state the United States government
had decided to appeint a special inspec
tor for Georgia, his salary to be phid by
the government of the United States.
It has; been -the aim of the Agricaltu?,
ral Department to encourage the efforts
of the cattle raisers of' Georgia for the
destruction of that dangerous pest, the
tick, known as the boophilus bo vis. The
encouraging success, which has attend
ed these efforts, is very gratifying to us,
and leads us to hope for still greater re,--
ure.—State Aerirriltuvol
oughly scalded first. The packed eggs
should be stored in a cool place.
The North Dakota Experiment Station
found it best not to wash the eggs before
packing, and announces further that 1
gallon of the solution is sufficient for 50
dozen, if they are properly packed.
If a reliable and inexpensive method
of preserving eggs for a long -time has
been thus discovered, a great impetus
will be given to what is already assum
ing large proportions as an industry of
the United States.
Poultry.
Of course the quality and size of eggs
must depend in a great measure upon
the breed of chickens. One who de
sires te send eggs to market wishes of
course to furnish those which will brings
the best prices" The North Carolina
experiment station has made careful
comparison of the size of eggs of several
breeds. Of those tested the largest were
laid by iTight Brahmas and weighed 28
ounces a dozen. Those laid by the Black
Langsham and Barred Plymouth Rock
hens weighed a little over 26 ounces per
dozen, while the eggs of Single Comb
Brown Leghqps, late hatched Ply*
South Book, wliite Wyandotte and
Buff Cochins ranged from 21.7 to 23.7
ounces per dozen. The heaviest of afi
ducks (old and young) and avera^35L6

. Of eggs laid by pullets the heaviest
were those of the Bladk Minorca* and
Weighed 26.5 ounces per dozen.
