"1 Can think of no quicker Way
to run the gtiality of a good egg
than to pack it little end up," say:(
a well known poultryman. Yet far
too many poultrymen fail to use
this simple method for keeping a
good egg good.
When eggs are packed with the
points up, the air cells have a ten-
dency to weaken and the yolks to
,rise. These eggs will go down in
quality to either B or C Grade. At
certain times in the year this can
mean a loss of as Hutch as 20 cents
a dozen under the Grade A price.
High temperatures also are more
disastrous to eggs packed with the
little end up. Above 30 degrees, the
yolk begins to rise until it touches
the shell and is then more likely to
go bad from bacterial action than
when completely surrounded by egg
White. But an egg packed little end
down has a better chance of keep-
ing the yolk surrounded by white
and cushioned by an air cell.
* * *
Eggs packed little end down also
are less liable to shell breakage in
handling. And the customer is less
likely to break the yolk when he
breaks the shell.
• * *
If you have good -quality hay,
silage or pasture, the protein con-
centrate in your dairy -cow ration
may be an unnecessary expense.
Tests conducted over a four-year
period have shown that levels of
protein usually recommended can.
be cut 3 or 4 per cent without loss
of production. A. ration of high-
quality roughage, supplemented with
farm grains, contains enough pro-
tein to maintain a cow with above
average production.
* * ,k
Three groups of cows were com-
pared on a ration which differed
only in protein content. Corn,
wheat, beet pulp and 41 per cent
soybean meal were included in the
concentrate, while corn silage, al-
falfa and timothy Were fed as rough-
age. Levels of protein feeding were
10, 14 and 18 per cent. When milk
records were added at the end of
the tests, there was no significant
difference in production between the
three groups.
k * *
The man in charge of the tests,
figures a 1200 -Ib. cow .producing
70 pounds of 4 per cent milk daily
can get along on farm grains and
30 pounds per day of good alfalfa
hay, legume pasture or silage. Even
if she eats only 25 pounds of rough-
age per day, she ought to be able
to maintain body weight and pro-
duce 60 pounds of milk.
rk * *
Red clover hay has less protein,
and on 30 pounds per day, a cow
probably could remain in good con-
dition while producing 45 pounds of
milk. At the 25 -pound rate. she
would •need extra protein at milk-
ing rates above 35 pounds per day.
Timothy and other poor -quality
grass hays are low in protein and
are not attractive to dairy cows.
Only an occasional cow would eat
25 or 30 pounds roughage of this
type and even then she would need
targe 'amounts of extra protein to
produce at a profitable level.
* * *
On high-quality legume -grass pas-
ture, cows can get more than
enough protein for maintenance and
high production. Alfalfa, an alfalfa-
brome mixture, ladino and other
clovers are high in protein when
young and succulent. In another set
of tests, cows were able to get 2/
times their normal protein require-
ments from rotationally grazed le-
gume and rye-grass pasture.
* * *
If pastures are made up of low -
quality grasses, extra protein prob-
ably will be needed. On pastures of
this type or on legume mixtures
subjected to midsummer heat and
drought, a grain ration with a pro-
tein level of 12 per cent probably
would be needed to be supplemet}t-
ed with 20 per cent soybean -oil
meal to meet maintenance and pro-
duction requirements.

Each.. year there comes a time
when every sports writer worthy of
his salt—and a whole of of us who
would be overpaid even in that corn-
codity—feels it incumbent upon him
to let go all holds and predict the
winners of the National and Amer-
ican League baseball races. Just
why this should be is more than we
can say, but it's an ancient baseball
custom like rising and stretching
before the home team's half of the
seventh inning, or giving the rasp-
berry when the umpires' names are
announced over the loud -squawkers.
* 'k *
Well, that time has rolled around
once again, and like, the character
who was niet on his way down to
Bangor to get pie -eyed, "Gosh how
we do dread itl"
* * :k
For we, personally, would much
rather rest on the laurels won last
year when. as nobody remembers,
we came within one game of calling
both • winners, the Philadelphia
Phillies just nosing out our Brook-
lyn Dodgers pick in a photo finish.
We did, however, select the New
York Yankees, a team which the
majority of prophets couldn't see
winding up better than third.
* * *
Still, duty is duty, so once more
into the breach, dear friends, dread
it as we may. Besides, there is a
hunk of space to be filled up, the
dead -line fast approaches, so here
goes—but with the warning that
anybody rash enough to wager on
these selections would be taking
far less of a chance betting on
wrestling matches.
* * *
In the National League, Brook-
lyn looks to be a cinch. They should
have won last year, and probably
would have done so but for a late -
season slump occasioned, in all pro-
bability, by some of the Dodgers
getting the not -unusual notion that
press clippings can win ball games.
* * *
Anyway, the figures show the
Dodgers winning by a fairly com-
fortable margin, their keenest con-
tention coining from the Philaclel-
phia Phillies, wile figure to sag a bit
from their 1950 drive—a drive that

amazed everybody, including them-
selves.
* *.
So- that's the way the dope reads
--.Brooklyn Dodgers, first, Phila-
, delphia Phillies second. Therefore,
with our customary mule -like con-
sistency, we are selecting neither of
the two. Our pick for the National
League Pennant—and, when it
comes to that, for the World Ser-
ies—is the New York Giants.
* * *
(We now pause briefly so that
you can all get the laughs out of
your system over such a ridiculous
choice.)
* * *
We turn next to the American
League and here we find that•'the
figures snake it even easier for a
prognosticator to choose the win-
ner. Boston Red Sox, by as far
as a circus press agent can toss
the bull, is what it looks like. Steve
O'Neill has the pitchers; he has
the hitters; and in addition to one
of the best infields in baseball --
Pesky;. Stephens, Doerr and Dropo
—he now has added Lou Boudreau
—a very handy guy to have around
at all times.
* * *
Yes, indeed, it looks as if Mr.
O'Neill might be suffering from
what one word -painter described:as
"a plethora of riches." In fact, Steve
might be like the egg who fozund
himself with five aces in his kland
in a poker game—on his own d*il—
and was puzzled about how tda,get
rid of the extra one.
* *
So Boston Red Sox it is, adcord-
ing to the crystal hall, and if .they
have any trouble at all leaking the
grade it should come froth the
direction of Detroit, where Red
Rolfe has a team that should im-
prove on last season's form—which
wasn't so bad after all.'
* * *
But if you think we're predicting
a World Series between Boston
Red Sox and New York Giants,
you aren't aware of the way our
reputed mind works. No, we can't
seem to see Boston, or even the
Detroiii Tigers. Along about next
October we look for an all -New
York series—Giants versus Yankees
—with Leo Durocher's club finally
taking it all,
* * *
I'faving written that we were
just about to announce another
time out—this one or the purpose
of calling up a bookmaker and in -
(miring the price against such a
double. However, we suddenly re-
membered that bookmaking has
been declared highly illegal on both
sides of the border, so we'll just
have to try and imagine the odds.
Something around a thousand to
one, we would think. Well, we
just wish we had a dollar riding on
the two New York Clubs at such
odds, For that matter; we lust wish
we had a dollar period.
* * *
As for our opinion of the Stanley
Cup results, which somebody has
just called to inquire about, surely
that is one event that doesn't re-
quire any deep thought. From start
to finish of the present season the
Detroit Red Wings have looked
a mile -the best. They've led prac-
tically all the way. They have
hockey's best front line. They have
hockey's leading goal -scorer. They
have by far the best defence in
Chameleon Metal
There is no substitute for man-
ganese, in making steel, particularly
the tough steel alloys needed for
modern warfare. Yet more than
half of the total. world sources of
this vital war material are control-
led by. Russia. A year ago she
clamped down on the export of
manganese ore to the Western
world,
Since then desperate efforts have
been made to fill the gap. The Gold
Coast is now exporting half a mil-
lion toils of ore a year and India
nearly as much. Cuba produces 90,-
000
0,000 toils, but until recently United
States production has been a mere
trickle..
Discovery of manganese by Gahn,
a Swedish scientist, in 1774, began
the steel age. "The Chameleon
Metal" as it is known because it
yields different coloured compounds,
was first used in Great Britain by
Robert Hadfield—"young Hadfield"
—who iii his father's Sheffield
works ' sought a special steel for
the wheels of train -cars that had to.
, grind tip'Yorkshire hills.
Manganese:; st,�eel possesses great
strength and will' s ipport from 60
to 70 tons to the square inch. It is
-so hard that it can be machined
only with great difficulty, but it
, casts well and is used for parts
which have to resist extra hard
wear.
The propellors' of the "Queen
Vary" and "Queen Elizabeth" are
made from manganese bronze, ob-
tained by. adding manganese to
ordinary brass.
The black oxides of manganese
is as old as vanity, `for it was used
to emphasize the eyelashes of an-
cient Egyptian beauties.
HAD ENOUGH
Mother wanted to spend Satur-
day in town, and father, an account-
ant, reluctantly agreed to give up
his golf and spend the afternoon
with the children. On the return of
mother, father handed her the fol-
lowing. report of the afternoon:
"Dried tears -9 times. Tied shoes
—13 times. Toy balloons purchased
—3 per child. Average life of a
balloon -l0 seconds. Cautioned chil-
dren not to cross the street -21

Iron -.curtain Kiss
The scene is a train compartment
in Rumania. The characters: A
Russian officer, a Rumanian officer,
an old lady and an extremely at-
tractive girl.
The train enters a tunnel. The
passengers hear first a kiss, then a
vicious. slap. The train emerges
into the light again. Everyone re-
mains silent, but the Russian offi-
cer has a black eye.
The old lady thinks: "What a
good girl she is. Such good man-
ners, such a fine moral character."
The girl thinks: "Isn't it strange
that .the Russian tried to kiss the
old lady and not toe."
The Russian thinks: "That Ru'
tnanian is a smart fellow. He steals
a kiss and I get hit."
The Romanian thinks: "1 aft, a
brilliant fellow. I kiss the back of
my hand, bit a Russian officer and
get away with it,"
