The very uilld weather which has pre vailed, with the temperature here up to HI and farmer plowlu la the fields something very unusual for December has had an Injurious effect on some tippled. This applies particularly to those In common storage. One dealer who made a trip around Sodua and returned to Rochester this morning said that he examined apples 1n several storages and found that they were not keep ing well. In addition, he received reports from others which corrobo rated his statements. Of course, the mild weather throughout the east had a depress ing Inlluence on the deal In general. The demand for cold storage apples fell off and trade became dull. Prices did not decllue, however, dealers re fusing to sell at any concession. Quite heavy shipments were made to New York, some of the fruit going on consignment. The majority of the carloads were (ireenlngs, which sold as low us $1.50 a barrel.

Do they shed It when they get their adult feathers, or where does It oT A. Behind the fuzz on chicks are feathers, and these push out, the fuzz remaining on the ends until finally worn off. Tou may see this clearly Il lustrated by watching the feather growth of a little robin, the fuzz some times remaining on the feather tips till the birds are quite large. Q. What do you think of sending a distance for eggs for hatching? A. We consider It more wise to look around home first for what you want We hare known fanciers to send across six states for eggs, pay express, and the few chicks hatched were very ordinary, while within ten miles was a flock that would have given them more and better chicks at half the price. Q. In trap nesting hens to discover the heaviest layers what Is revealed In regard to the percentage of fertility? Which hen gives the more fertile eggs, the 100 egg or the 200 egg hen? A. Two hundred egg hens have been found to give eight Infertlles In ten eggs. The more eggs the less fertility. Q.Wbat do you consider the best advertising medium for one who is In the poultry business In a small way? A.

It's a wise plan to stir up the nest material when you gather eigs. A hen's egg ' aslonally slips down un der the straw, and if not found it may he hidden for a month.
