FERTILE EGGS.

II Is most necessary that eggs
should be fertile about the time they
are desired for incubation. whether
they are 10 place in an incubator or tc

eggs at such a time are an abomina-
ton. n delusion AMI 4 blastcr OF future
hopes. The first essential in this di-
which had a healthy growth all
through their growing stage. ami the
sexes should be as far from kinship
as possible. 1t is also necessary that
the parents be strong in vitality. The
breeding stock can be too old or toe
young; TOO dccrepit or TOO immature.
1t is matter of regret that no one
can fully control fertility TO its fullest
extent. but it can be aided largely by
mating and by giving proper care and
attention prior and during the incuba,
ton season. Exercise is necessary to
procure the greatest fertility in eggs

TO keep up that v!gor so requisite in
breeding stock of al kinds. The food
should contain both animal matter
and grains. and should be provided
neither more nor less in quantity than
is required. We would not only have
the egg fertile. but We would have
that fertility strong and vigorous. II
is not enough that the egg will hatch
but it should also hatch strong and

AVOIDING FOOD LOSSES.

II has been affirmed that from one
half to one-third OF ali the food which
enters the average American home is
wasted. There is the waste in pairing
and preparing vegetables. the bone in
meat. and the scraps which are left
from meals and which cannot appear
on the table n second time.
But this loss in rural homes can be
readily. and is in most cases. reduced
to a minimum. The parings. vegeta
bic tops. etc. go usually to the pigs.
by which animals they are converted
into pork. II pigs are not kept. they
can be fed twice each day to the COWS.
for when fresh. ;hey are absolutely
wholesome for either pigs or cows.
The scraps from the table can with
profit be fed to the chickens. to be
returned in eggs. Thus there is nc
entered the house II cur own case
the cow gets the garbage (parings
vegetable tops. p9a pods. Ctc1. night
and morning and the chickens ge;
the crumbs from tho table. All Is
gathered e.. there is no waste.
In our town. where il is not con
venient for many 20 keep either COWS
pigs or chickens. the scraps and gar
bage are gathered daily by number
of poor persons. who make living
asserting the same and feeding it to
pigs and chickens. These persons
call daily at the kitchen door and re.
move the accumulations while they
are in a fresh and wholesome state.
In this case. there is no waste either
for one may consider what is not
eaten as given to those who can util.
iZe it. and hence. as one form OF
charity. II is ono way of aiding the
poor to help themselves. The Plan
is applicable to all small towns-C. C

about half the herd became sick and
after a disastrous season the owner
woke up to the necessity of fencing of
his low. wet lands from the sheep pas
ture.
Rape for sheep is much lice cloye,
for the pigs or potash for peach trees.
One might just as well give uD sheep
feeding if he will not try rape for
their food. Sheep and rape must &c
together. and they do on most farms
where the owner has good sheep
sense" Yet it is not necessary 10 20
into many counties in almost any
State to find sheep raised without the
owner ever having once thought of
sowing rape for them. II is not at all
strange that So many claim there is nc
money in sheep raising or farming.
Considering the ignorance i'll some
quarters OF all changes and improve
ments that have been going on in this
country in the past quarter OF a cen
fury. it is net ut ali surprising that
failures are common. DO men who
know nothing about modern farming
ever read? Or are they so set in their
ways that they refuse 10 adopt any
methods except those which their
fathers taught them?
| met farmer o. this character re-
Gently He had one of the scrubbiest
lot of sheep that n an could find any
where He had been raising that kind
Of sheep for half a century. Did they
pay? No. there was no money in
sheep raising any more. Price OF wool
was too low 1t was running farmers
and sheep raisers. How much wool
did he raise? He wasn't sure. but
probably five pounds of wool to q
head. Now is it possible for any man
to make money from wool raising
when each sheep averages five pounds
OF wool? Over against this | told him
of two-year-old rams of mine shearing
twenty and thirty pounds. and good
fat ewes giving a similar proportion OF
wool. He listened respectfully. but
when | was through | could see that
he was impressed. but unbelieving.
That man had no sheep sense" and
all We can expect of such case is
that his children may wake up and
study modern conditions and read OF
what is going on in their particular in
fustry.-T. NJ. Mandrake. in American

SOME SHEEP SENSE.

The more experience one has with
sheep the more convinced he becomes
that success depends to large extent
upon what might be called good
sheep sense" as distinguished from
horse sense so commonly used 1t is
impossible to make profit out of sheep
unless one possesses or acquires this
sense. Such a little thing will some
times upset all the good work that a
man can do. Here is neighbor who
had a fine herd of sheep which he
carefully bred and fed. and seemed to
do everything for them; but good
deal of his pasture land was low and
wet, and the sheep spent about half
or three-quarters Of their time with
wet feet. They seemed to prefer the
low, wet lands. but that was because
there was better vegetation there. and
not because they liked wet feet. Well,

gave it to you in moment of girlish
folly. and have since had occasion to
regret that | was so thoughtless in

OF course she pictured that photo
graph framed and hung up in his

he would part with it with deep re-
gret. Just why she wanted it re-
turned is immaterial. OF course he
had offended her in some way, hut it
is unnecessary to inquire how.

RED CLOVER.

Red clover is valuable for the abund.
ance of pasture it produces and for its
excellence as food. Rich in lime and
nitrogen. as well as containing a large
proportion of starchy matter it is one
of the best balanced foods used. and
is also highly relished by all kinds OF
stock. In addition to promoting a
large flow of milk from cows. it is un.
excelled as pasturing for hogs. Its
value as n fertilizer is also admitted
and many farmers grow it for T.
purpose as well as for food.
