Any gtXAl bab» .r. .i will prove satisfactory until the birds are eight or ten »resAfter that date, the specialists ad vise that they be place: ■ ration similar to a good laying ration, but containing a u v' amount of minerals.

4 Factors Determining Egg Prices The two chief factors that determine the price of fresh eggin New Y'ork are size and color. Fifty-sit and nine-tenths per cent, of the trade in New Y'ork handling eggs from this State reported that the main difficulty they found in sdfiag New Jersey egg» was due to mixed sizes. Close!c •elected extras, firsts and pullets are often shipped in the same case, with no distinguishing mark on the Case. Lnitonrtity of size is an important factor for the poultry-men (jf the Sate to consider if they wish to maintain their present

position :n the New Y’ork market

Over 30 per cent, of the "rade reported that they found mixed colors as a major fault connected with nearby egg.. Eggi. to bring top prices in New Y’ork mus* be uniformity white n color. Tinted shells and dirty eggs canno" i.-aoii, be void, and are oiten moved at a discount. In addition, most of the New Vork trade prefers an egg with a light-colored yolk and will pay a premium, for »jvh eggs. The greater part of New Jenev eggs in New Y'ork move from the wholesale and joh ng district to independent stores, over 30 per cent of the trade reporting this as the chief outlet for their product. Chain stores take 10 per cent, and restaurants and hotel* take 63 and 3.4 per cent, respectively, being relatively urumporTmt channels xt present for New Jersey eggs. Sales from wholesalers to jobbers, and from jobber to jobber to fill contracts,

make up the remaining outlets.

By yearly Mood testing, coupled with strict sanitary measures. one can eliminate the possibtlitirs of the disease .n the breederThe blood test is based cn tl,e tact that infection stimulates the production of an antibody known as "'agglutm.” When Mood serum conttimng this antibody is placed in a killed or living susnen •ion of white diarrhea oi^tnisms the latter are clump*- 1 '..,grther and settle, leaving the fluid clear.

A flock given two yearly,

and showing no disease is called ‘‘accredited."

All this is given to remind Cape May and Cumberland County farmers that if any considerable purchase of baby . chicks be made, it wT he a w > precaution to make sure that the chick* are from a certified-ttsted or an accredited flock.
