Kentucky farmera lost approximately 11,500,000 on eggs last year which spoiled or were graded below "firsts" when placed on the market, according to poultrymen from the College of Agriculture. Five factors contributed to ward the Iobs.
These were: roosters running In the laying flock, keeping eggs in warm places, damp, dirty nests, leaving eggs In the nest too long and holding eggs at home too long. According to specialists tho losses can bo prevented this year if farmers will keep eggs In cool places, provide one good clean nes for every five hens, gather eggs twice dully, market eggs when they are fresh and kill, confine or sell all roosters. Gathering the eggs twice each day and keeping them in a cool place will prevent many of them from spoiling, according to experiments which show that more than 97 per cent of the eggs which are handled In this way grade as "firsts" when placed on the market. Gathering the eggs twice each day during the hot summer months also will tend to eliminate broken, shrunken and badly flavored eggs. If the eggs are placed In a cave care should be taken to keep them awny from onions or any other object that might cause the eggs to absorb odors.
They also should be placed on a table or box to allow free circulation of nlr about them. Eggs should be taken to market as often as possible as delay In marketing encourages deterioration.

It Is a property and not nn occupational tax, and, therefore, descrimln-ates against the owners of whisky as compared to owners of other kinds of personal property.
