tcriorate with great rapidity if they
are not cooled within a very short
time after they are produced. Thus,
naturally, keeping eggs in tip-top
condition _for marketing poses a
problem for farmers and poultry-
men if refrigerated storage facili-
ties are not readily available—not
so great a problem in winter as
daring the warmer months, but a
real one just the same.
However, those who should know
about such things claim that any
plan who is handy with tools and
acquainted with the kind of building
construction commonly employed on
farms, by following the professional
guidance of a nearby commercial
refrigeration dealer, can help build
leis own egg refrigeration storage
plant with a minimum amount of
-expense.
Naturally, the size and capacity
of the building, together with the
type of materials used, will influ-
ence your overall cost. But the
average farmer can lop off a goodly
sized hunk of the initial cost by
getting busy with hammer and saw.
According to data compiled by
various top experts, general re-
quirements for the average -size egg
producing farm call for a structure
about 7 feet '4 inches wide and
11 feet 4 inches long, with a peaked
roof.
The peaked roof is highly import-
ant. It should be ventilated so
that during the warm weather a

perature is only 40 degrees.
Thus, by employing a well
ventilated peaked roof tbq refrigera-
tion load on the egg sforagA- room
is substantially reduced, making a.
worthwhile saving on daily opera-
ting expense. Walls exposed to the
§tin should be painted with white,
buff, or aluminum paints, as these
reflect heat and so help to reduce
the refrigeration load even further.

Top flocks—such as those in the

IE eggs per bird last November,
with the 10 high flocks going way

What has caused this increase?
Much of it has come front chang-

First is the confinement of pul-
lets to the laying house
by the
time they are six months old. This
cuts down the chances of their
ging into a molt.
?next comes the all -pullet flock
program. Old hens take time out
to molt, no matter how well you
take care of them. But properly
managed pullets will get "up to 50
per cent production within four to
six weeks after housing—and to 75
per cent by the time they're nine
months old.

loaders — especially those in and
around what somebody once
laughingly tagged The Queen City
—weren't sufficiently goofy previ-
ously, you may be sure the fwO
meetings with which the' season .
ended must have turned the trick.
We refer, of course, to the meet-
ings at bong Branch and Dufferin
park, a couple of noted horse -
bazaars run under the same man-
agement, and sometimes alluded to'
as Big and Little Casino. And
the things which came off at those
two meets shouldn't have happened
to a 1lorse-player, whose hide—from
continual punishment — is natural-
ly tougher than a rhino's.
We cannot hope to recount, in
detail, all the odd happenings.
There were starting gates which
only partially opened; gates that
failed to open at all, forcing the
starter to set them going by word
of mouth. There were spills, pro-
tests, horses disqualified and jock-
eys grounded. There were races
in Which the Thoroughbreds dis-
appeared behind a heavy fog, also
races in which the Officials seem-
ingly did the same tiling. In fact,
for general all-round variety and
madness we doubt if there has been
anything to equal it since the days
whets the old Brooklyn Dodgers
thought nothing of winding up a
rally with three runners camping
on the same base.
:k :k
Ever since the introduction of the
Pari Mutuei machines,— and what
a long time ago that seems — a
sign prominently displayed on all
race tracks reacts, in effect, DO
NOT TEAR UP' YOUR MUT-
URL TICKETS UNTIL AFTER
THE "OFFICIAL" SIGN IS
DISPLAYED, So, at Dufferin one
day, the OFFICIAL sign is hung
up; the boys start tearing -up losing
'tickets; then the sign is taken down
again and the order of the finish
changed; and all the doctors in the
vicinity have to work overtime
bandaging up fingers trodden on
during the scramble for discarded
pasteboards. Anything can hap-
pen in Brooklyn? Shucks! Any-
thing and everything DID happen
at Long Branch and Dufferin,
However, the race run in a fog,
already mentioned, was the means
of restoring faith in human nature
to one disillusioned friend of ours.
We will let him tell the story in
his own words, or at least as many
of them as are printable.
.It is the last race 'of the day and

hardly tell if they are horses or
;amels, and what .is more the fog
IS getting thicker by the minute.
"So away they go toward the
starting gate and after a while
somebody yells 'They're off' al-
though, for all I can see or hear,
they may be back in their- barns
and all bedded clown for the night.
"Tile guy operating the loud-
speaker cannot see any more than
I can, so isn't able to describe what
is going on; and everything is so
silent that it seems like it is hours
since they went past the stand.
So I naturally get to thinking and
what I am thinking about is what
a swell chance this will be for
some crooked little jockeys°to get
in some fancy work, now that no-
body can tell what they are doing.
`They will be able to use batteries'
I say to myself, 'or even dynamos
if they want to, with nobody the
wiser; and when the race is over
it will some long shot in front that
nobody ever thought of betting
oil.'
"I keep thinking along these
lines," our friend continued, "and
telling myself what a sticker bet I
made on the favorite. Then, all
of a sudden, you can Hear the
clippety clop of hooves in the
distance — then they come down
the stretch — then the race is over.
And when the winner is posted; I
am a dirty soandso if it isn't MY
horse — the favorite.
"So now, my faith in human
nature is restored. With all the
chance in the world to get away
with murder, they run that race
on the level. Even if the- breed of
Horses isn't improving so that you
could notice it, the breed of jockeys
must be."
* *
At this point a bystander sug-
gested that, with the fob coming
so unexpectedly, perhaps the jockeys
hadn't the time to think of rigging
themselves with the Thomas A.
Edison trimmings; that it was .lack
of foresight, rather than improved
morality, that had caused the tin -
expected result. But ,our friend
would have. none._of it.
"No," he said, "I hrefer to go on
be`l'ieving that'human nature is get-
- tin' ter. Why, just a few years
baco those, little `jocks wouldn't

selves a battery. They could have
