Two hens at the experiment station of the Otégon Agricultural College now hold the United States cham- pioaship for the highest number of eggs laid a year. bach produced 260 egus, tying for championship. No other experiment station jg the country has been able to raises hen with a re- cord equal to this. Heretofore, the re- cord of 251 eggs laid by a bied . in the flock of the Maine kxperiment Sta- tion some years ago.cAn unoflicial re- cord from~a private breeder shows 256 eggs some years ago since, but even even thig is beaten by the Oregon hens. One of the birds is a Plymouth Rock and the other a cross between a Ply- mouth Rock and a Leghorn. The Ply- mouth Rock laid twenty-seven eggs in the month. of October. This is a matter of breeding, feeding and care. In the same pen with the record Ply- mouth Roek hen was one which lad but five eggs, although she was of the same breed, and received the care dnd feed. The trouble was 5 here heredity. She was a poor indivi- dual. same Health of the Hen. The average poultry-keeper consid- ers disease the hardest poultry pro blem to leave. Too often he finds one or two dead chickens under the roost or behind the barn. Such a condition causes worry and a tendency to discouragement over poultry-keep- ing. The question 13. how can one cure ur prevent such and such a disease, and what caused it ? Poultry di- stases are very hard to combat because a chicken's body is covered with feathers and the exact physical con- dition is therefore hard to determine. Too many diseases have the same exwernal symptoms. This causes confusion in the minds of the poultry- man Whenever a fowl becomes "'dumpy"™ and sits round in almost any place, preferably a dark corner, * apparentiy oblivious of all surroundings and with little desire to cat, a person may feel assured that the bird is sic These general indications sometimes vary; and, unless a bird refuses 10 eal or move, some people do not know that disease exists. When the, writer recently visited a farmer's flock he instantly noticed a: fowl with an extremely bad case of canker of the throat. Upon mentioning it to the farmer's wife she expres ig- porance of the fact that such an ail- ment existed among her powdtry. The malin respondbility" for disease ust be placed upon the poultry-keep- ers themselves. Igmorance of the fact that poor management and poor care tend to increase the chances of disease is the ehief cause. The same rules of care and good health given to live stock and human beings ap- ply to fowls. Specific cases of poul- try diseases may, however, be enume- rated. The firet and most fundamental low vitality. Any chicken with any one of the many following indications of weakness in vitality may be too feeble to fight off the ravages of dis- ease; loss of weakness, tendency to remam on the perch late in the morning, drooping tail and wings, crow-head, pale, shrunken comb and face, sunken eye,.long beak, narrow body, stilted. shrunken shanks that are cold, knock- knees, and long toenails. Keep Churn in Good Condition. Quite often the flavor of butter is spoiled on account of the churn not being in a good clean and sweet con- dition. This is especially true when a churn is used only once or twice per week as is often the case on the farm. Flavor is the quality which gives butter its value over other fats. A little carelessness in regard to keep- ing the churn e¢lean and in a sweet condition will often spoil this desirable flavor in butter. After the buttermilk and butter have been removed from ihe churn, it should be scalded out with hot water so as to remove all of the grease. I any particles of the butter ave left in the churn, they are liable to become oily, and the churn also assumes a musty condition on the inside.

The only safe way of bgpdling milk, says Hourd's Dairvman, is to produce it in a clean manner, cool it imune- diately to a temperature below fifty degrees ¥., and keep it wt this tem- perature until it is delivered to the customer. If this is done, there will be no need to add preservatives to milk that is fifteen to twenty hours old when delivered. ' In fact, by pur sung sanitary methods and cooling to forty degrees F,, milk can be kept a week or more without showing any signs of deterioration.
