When supplied 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 ment. 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 ounces per dozen. . Of eggs laid by pullets the heaviest were those of the Bladk Minorca* and Weighed 26.5 ounces per dozen. Tests at the Maine Experiment Sta tion showed € that t£gs from henelay- ihg*ehe greatest number were on an av erage smaller than those from hens pro- suits in the future, Department.
