Shape of hen does not predict egg production say Agriculture
Government researchers conclude there is no mathematical link between egg production and the body or head shape of hens. A trap nest study on White Leghorn and Rhodesian Red birds found keel length skull size and brain weight do not indicate laying capacity. They recommend empirical observation of egg output to select good layers.

Blood Spots in Eggs Do Not Signal Age or Spoilage
The United States Department of Agriculture explains that a blood spot in an egg does not prove the egg is stale. Blood spots can appear in fresh eggs, especially from commercial flocks vs farm flocks, with higher occurrence in late spring and fall. To reduce spots, poultrymen should modestly regulate production and feed green fodder.

Cleaning Upholstery and Rugs with Soapy Suds and Blueing
To thoroughly clean upholstery or rugs use mild soap and water suds applied with a cloth or brush. Rinse with clear water. Borax and ammonia may speed cleaning. If the fabric has a white pattern bluing may whiten the pattern.

Metal items not used for food serving may be protected from tarnish with a no tarnish lacquer. Wipe occasionally with a damp cloth. To remove oil or grease stains from fabric upholstery and rugs, apply carbon tetrachloride with a cloth, working from the outside of the stain toward the center.
