Tie Water Test for Eggs.

A we'll known way of testing eggs Is
to put them in water and see how they
float. The more the contents have
shrunken the higher the egg rises. II Is
not generally considered a very exact
method. Certain German experimenters
however, with the national love for
exactness and detail, have figured out
a closer method of reckoning. Thus,
fresh eggs remain horizontal. an egg
three to five days old makes an angle
of twenty degrees with the horizon;
one eight days gives an angle over for
ty-flve degrees, and at the end Of four
teen days the angle Is sixty degrees
One three months remains vertical, and
when II Is older still IL floats. But even
In experienced hands, IL is hard to
see how the water test could improve

Duck Culture on the Farm.

An incubator may be very proftably
employed In Matching ducks. As good
n hatch cannot be expected from the
duck eggs as from chicken eggs. For
some unexplained reason good many
OF the ducks die In the she'll But
enough of them get out to pay one we'll
for the trouble of Matching. The little
duck is very tender the first day or two
OF his existence. An old hen is likely to
put lier foot on him and crush his life
out; but no danger threatens him in
the well-regulated incubator, where he
should spend the first twenty-four
hours of his life. The warm atmosphere
just suits him, and he seems happy
and well contented. IL Is a~iuslng to
watch number of the downy little fell
lows after they get dry and open their
mouths to yawn or for somsthing to
eat, | hardly know which. Then they
will stretch their long necks and try
to stand on their short. unsteady legs.
The little duck at this age may certain
ly boast of some beauty. II seems pity
IL SO soon grows ugly, greedy and
dirty. But there is clean money in them
IL they are intellgently looked after.
Bread soaked In new milk Is an ideal

cornmeal when given an occasional

must have grit; little, sharp gravel
will do, mixed with their food. Give
plenty of water TO drink only
II is neither safe nor desirable to al
low them to roam all over the farm.
The silly things get started down q
stream or between two rows of corn
and just keep on going If they meet
with no obstruction. The chances are
you will not see them again. And II
they don't run off they soon become
n nuisance around the house or barn.
They need tight, roomy coops to spend
their nights and stormy days in. and
last, but not least, large inclosure in
partly shaded grassy location. Wide
boards, or fine mesh poultry netting
make the sort of fence needed for a
duck lot Coops should be inside the
lot so they may be run under shelter
when n storm threatens. Dampness,
either overhead or under foot Is fatal
to them. During q rainy period dry
chat must be put in their coops every
evening. They nestle down in the dry
chaff happy and satisfied. They do not
seem to need a mother. When hatched
by hen the undutiful things won't
stay with her longer than few days.

Feeding SwlII to Cattle.

The gradual encroachment of fruit
tillage upon the acres of farmers
throughout certain portions of the CEN
tral states is now continually diminish
ing the areas used for grazing purposes
and the production of feed for animals.
Cattle raising has continued a neces-
sity in localities where the fruit sea-
son Is short, and recourse to dairy
products must be had to provide rev.
enue for the farms.
The profit in fruit growing Is un-
questionably larger in proportion to
acreage and investment than hay and
grain farming, and owners in some Sec
tions are so beset with the temptation
to take the greatest possible adyan-
tage of the situation that they have
yielded the major portion Of their acres
to the production of fruit crops, and
have in a majority of cases restricted
the more permanent resources of their
farms. Since cattle are a necessity af-
ter the fruit is marketed, there comes
the perplexing problem of how to pro-
vide sufficient grass feed for their re-
quirements.
Numerous experiments have been
made to discover & possible way out of
tho dilemma, and supply a substitute
for fodder in sufficient quantities to
meet all demands. Novel and interest
Ing rs these experiments have been.
they have not all been without profit
able and satisfactory results. The
shreddlng machines have contributed
largely to increasing the utility of the
present scanty supply of corn fodder.
However, as this supply has neared ex-
haustion, requirements we're still to
be made upon other sources of supply.
Pulp from the factories making sugar
from beets has been utilized by some
feeding stables, usually being subject
ed to a system of steam cooking before
being given to the animals. While this
substitute has been found quite satis-
factory among some farmers, it Is
largely in disfavor among others.
Perhaps one of the most efficient
means adopted to partially supply the
deficiency in feed has been the recent
swill in nearby suburban and adjacent
localities from time to time and feed
ing the same alternately with small
quantities Of hay and shredded fodder.
1t is the sense Of those experienced in
it's use that care should be exercised in
collecting swill. that none may become
too old. This can be readily adjusted
by the frequency Of visits to points OF
collection of the supply. That which
cannot be secured from recsptacles
where it is kept separate from general
slops is carefully drained of same upon
receipt, and ridded of all perceptible
injurious substances. The best results
from this feeding have come to those
who do not feed the swill until after II
has been steam cooked.-George H.
Shears, In Orange Judd Farmer.
