REBEKAH CLEAN. VS. DIRTY VS.. WASHED EGGS FOR STORAGE • (Expeimental Farms Note Experience has shown that washed eggs are suitable only for immediate consumption, and will not stand up ;under storage conditions for any lerngtli of time. Although the wash- ed egg may get by for a short time, and be quite actsiptable on the fresh, egg market, its inferiority is immed- iately evident after a period of star - Experiments carried on at, several Dominion Experimental Farms have', shown that clean eggs which graded 75 per cent specials, and 25 per cent extras before storage, graded 85 per cent extras, 12 per cent first, and 3 per cent weak and watery after six months storage. Dirty eggs. grading similarly when placed in storage came out practically on a par with the clean eggs. Washed eggs, however, stored under similar conditions graded only 45 per cent . extras, 24 per cent firsts, and 31 per cent weak and wat- ery, er nearly 50 per cent inferior to both the clean and dirty eggs. • Evidently the washing of eggs • de- tracts from their keeping qualities to such an extent that is may be con- sidered to be bad practice. It is ad- iti'isable by cleanliness: and sanitation on the poultry plant to avoid the pro- ducing of dirty eggs. Dirty eggs, when obtained, should be marketed as such. By washing `them the pool - try -man is placing a product of in- ferior qualityupon the market.

Cotit to News WINGIIASE: Ontario Department of Agriculture, through 'District Rep- resentative G. R. Paterson of Clinton, is holding a whiter course in Wing - ham Council Chamber from January 7th to February 8th. This course is open to all young men and women of the district, free, and text books are not, required. - Classes ` are from 9 a.m. to 4 pan. daily, except Satur- day. Programme includes lectures on live stock, field crops, soils, poultry, beekeeping, horticulture, insect pest's and plant diseases, noxious weeds, farm mechanics; ;etc„ domestic sei- ence, serving, home nursing and 'first aid. There will also be combined lec- tures on arithmetic,, English, Bacter- iology, cheinestry, Home Beautifica- tion and Literary and Social prob- lems. These courses offer an excel- lent opportunity for the young pee ple to obtain a practical training,. in the science of farm work, without which' success in this vocation cannot be obtained. Agriculture is a highly specialized business to -day and to Make it a profitablty successful ven- ture the farmer must know the base principals of soil adaptinn, control of weeds$ care and management of stock, etc. The same argument holds so far as home economics are con- cerned, Just so, long as, these inten-, sley practical and essential problems are not sufficiently 'treated in the public schools, then these short courses by the Department will be a necessity, and ought. to be welcomed by the, progressive- younger people of the vicinity. There is one feature not to be forgotten—the privilege is yours for the trouble of attending— it is as free of expense as is possible, and the opportunities are great.
