Gather Eggs Often
Eggs should be gathered at least
twice a day, and three times daily is
better during hot weather. The time
of one gathering should be just be
fore dark or as near to it as possible.
This last gathering of eggs may not
produce a great number of eggs but
since broody hens will commonly
search out the nest containing eggs
after the day’s laying has ceased,
failure to gather late in the day is -a.
common source of distinct deteriora
tion.
Each gathering should be placed in
the coolest part of the cellar if no
other cool spot is available, as soon
as gathered. Eggs should not be put
into cartons or cases immediately if
this can be avoided. The ideal con
tainer for cooling eggs is a wire tray.
A wire basket is the next best, and
perhaps the most practical. These
baskets are ordinarily offered for .sale
as waste paper containers.

The use of fertilizers has been a
much discussed subject for years, but
as knowledge of fertilizers increases
through experimentation more facts
are obtained. One important point
which deserves more emphasis than
in the past is that increased results
from fertilizers are obtained when the
humus content and the physical con
dition of the soil are kept at a high
level; also, when'the crops grown suit
the P.H. condition of the soil, which
means the relative acidity or alkal
inity.
One of the main reasons for the
greater results from fertilizers in
