Rat Cages
The use of rat poison -where , ani-
mals and children may pick it up is
always fraught with danger, par-
ticularly in hatcheries where thd
chicken houses are alive with chicle -
ens. • Some :poultrymen avoid -the
danger of poisoning- by placing un -
bated rat sages exactly in front:of
the rat holes and catehing the rate
as they emerge to -start across one
of their runs. If the rat cage is pro -
needy taken care ,of and the rats di -
posed of by drowning, a goad many
rats will be ,caught in a day without
feeding bait or poison, and, if one is
sufficiently diligent over a period of
time, the rats can be disposed of,
Colour of Eggs
The quality of an egg cant -tot be
judged by the colour of the shell be-
cause the colour of an .egg shell has
nothing to do with the quality of the
egg inside. Some breede of poultry
lay -white eggs; others, br'o'wn. On the
other hand, the colour ef the yolk
depends on the food given the lien.
Pale yellow or rich ,golden yolks aro
equal in quality and .food value.

ckeSNAPSI-10T GU I ID
CONSERVING FILM
67
If you want to keep on making snapshots ,of this quality, and you
should—don't fai to keep your photographib equipment in top-notch'
condition. ,
• WITH the continued 'scarcity of
film and photographic equip-
ment we should all make a resolu-
tion to see that every click of the
shutter results in a good picture and
that cameras and accessories are
given the beat of care.
Here are some important tangs
to remember about the conservation
of aim:
1. Don't shoot pictures at random.
You'll get the best results if you
will look before you shoot and make
• sure of just what you want in your
picture; then get it on the first shot,
• if possible.
• 2. Watch your exposures. Incor-
rect. exposure ruins many otherwise
excelleitt snapshots. Protect your-
self against such,failures. Invest a
dime in a pocket -sized exposure cal-
culator, and follow it faithfully.
3. When 'snapping a moving ob.
ject ,be sitre that your shutter speed
is fact enough to stop the motion, or
action.' Very moderate movement
can be "frozen" at 1/50 of a second
but as the firmed of t e object in-
creases .. . and the nearer it is to
the camera ... the greater the shut-
ter speed needed. .
4. Camera Movement spoils mans"
potentially tine snapshots. There are
two ways to correct this: Place your
camera On a tripod or brace it
against sotne steady object such as
a post or a tree; or, secondly, prac-
-Lice with an empty camera until you
can release the shutter without jer-
ring. Note; Using a ,oable release
often makes that easier. •
5, Always check your focus -bet
Sore taking the picture. Make sure
the camera is focused correctly.
Whatever you do, don't guess at dis-
tances in close-up picture -taking.
Always measure the distance from
camera to subject' -tor anything
nearer than six feet.
Remember that snapshots from
home are welcome indeed, to all ;ser-
vice men—so .take "newsy" snap-
s -hots frequently and send them witlt
your lettem.. Everything neW 'and
interesting that happens around the
house is a legitimate subject bit a.
picture. So keep some soldier happy,
with snapshots.
