Cause of Soft Shell Eggs.

Hens that acquire the habit of lay
Ing soft-shell eggs should be watched
very carefully in order to break them
of 1t. There are two causes for soft
eggs. One is feeding too much slim
ulating food; the other, not enough
shell-forming material being fur
nished. Too much spiced food and
meat is generally found to be the
chief cause, and If that is cut out, the
evil can generally be overcome. II
the hens have been overfed they will
show 1t by the lack of eagerness with
which they eat new food. After you
are satisfied that they have been fed

as far as he was concerned. He

the speed of the wind-the swiftest
OF winds, for that matter, for the
young man knew that he was directly
in the path of cyclone.
The act of forming the word in
his mind seemed to release him from
the terror that had bound him help

lane opened from the highway and
led toward the distant house of one
of jays neighbors. Straight for this
lane he urged his team, shouting to
the cows behind to step up. After he
had turned into the lane he looked
back, and found that the storm had
gained so rapidly that he still was
in jeopardy. He could see, too, that
the cloud was broader at the base
than 1t had looked when farther
away. SO that anything within wide
radius was sure to be caught. Then
he turned back to his team, and let
them out to a greater speed.
He was going as fast as he could
without dragging the cows from their
feet, and with stubborn resolution
he refused to look round or to heed
the swift advance of the cloud. He
could hear trees swapping in it's path,
and BY this sign, and by the very
heavens above him, he could tell
something of how near the storm was.
Certainly he did not expect to escape.
When the noise OF the tornado sound

and his horses were still on the
ground, he was surprised rather than
relieved. He was not out OF danger,
however. for as he looked down the
road after the dragging rope of the
cyclone, a terrific crash OF thunder
sounded. and he saw the mass OF
clouds before him torn open by a

two or three times. We recently
got the thought that a little spray
ing would overcome this difficulty.
We have tried 1t on a few swarms
with good results.
While the cluster is yet hanging
on the tree take a small spray pump,
or syringe, and wet the cluster of
bees with one or two quarts of cold
water, then take your swarm catcher
shown in the cut and turn It up
under the cluster and get them into
it. They will cling together while
you carry them to the hive, and
when dumped in front of it they will
not readily take wing again, but will
run into 1t. Swarms that have been
hived a few hours and seem restless,
or cluster mostly on the outside OF
their hive, can also be made more
tractable by little spraying. Bees
need a great quantity of water dur
ing summer, and the beekeeper can
supply their needs In few miSutes
where 1t would require hours for
the bees to gather 1t themselves.
Put the new hive containing the
swarm on the old stand, exactly
where the old hive stood ana place
the old hive close beside the new one.
The next morning as the bees go
forth from this hive to work, they
will nearly all return to the old place
and enter the other hive, making that
colony very strong, and in condition
to store great crop. The other
colony will be so reduced in num-
bers that the bees will not be moved
to swarm again and will fall in with
the first queen that matches and prob
ably give much surplus. II will
make a good. strong colony by the
close of the season.

English Poultry Experiments.

The second quarterly report of the
experiments in the housing and feed
ing of poultry undertaken by the
University College, Reading, England,
and carried out by the college expert
ment station, has just been issued.
The first test made was for the
purpose of ascertaining the value of
the colony system of housing poultry,
which is largely employed in the
United States, while the object of the
second was to compare the merits of
hopper and ordinary feeding. The
experiments are being conducted with
pens of White Wyandottes and Buff
Orpingtons, and careful observations
have been made of the quantity and
character OF the food consumed, the
cost of the different systems of feed
ing, and the results as shown In egg
production and fertility.
The conclusions drawn from the
experiments go to show that during
the three months ending May 81, the
ordinary fed birds cost much less for
food; that they produced nine eggs
more; that the White Wyandottes
yielded 107 in excess OF the Buff
Orpingtons; that the fertility was
greater by 0.6 in the Bun orping-
tons; that the Matching percentage
was greater by S.S1 in the orpIng-
tons than in the Wyandottes; that the
fertility of eggs from the hopper-fed
birds was greater by 0.29 than where
ordinary feeding was employed, and
that the percentage of Matching was
greater from hopper-fed birds by

Hiving a Swarm.

When bees get to hanging out on

a bee keeper in Farm and Home.
think that raising them is very good
preventative of swarming. A certain
percentage of colonies will swarm in
spite of anything that may be done.
1t takes but little to induce swarming
during a good honey harvest. Bees
left to themselves will generally send
out one swarm in a season, often a
second swarm, sometimes a third.
In hiving swarms 1t frequently
happens that the bees take wing
when dumped in front of their new
hive instead of crawling into 1t. We
have had a few swarms go back
and cluster on the same limb after
they had been carried to the hive

Maintaining Fertility.

The most important matter in
farming is maintaining the fertility
Of the soil so that there will be no
diminution of crops. The neces-
sary thing in maintaining the fertil-
ity Of the soil, says writer of note,
and in supplying the needs of the
average worn out soil. is organic mat
ter. II the supply of organic matter
is maintained, the supply of fertility
is generally maintained. Increasing
the supply of organic matter i'm
creases the amount Of nitrogen in the
soil, because the supply of nitrogen
comes almost wholly from the amount
applied in the organic matter.
Then organic matter is needed to
keep the supply of available min
eral plant food ample. There is
enough potash in the typical soil
to grow corn 1000 to 1000 years.
yet il the supply of decaying organic
matter in the soil Is not maintained
we find that In very few years tho
soil will show signs of wearing out
The reason generally lies in the fact
that there is not enough decaying
humus in the soil to keep the supply
of available potash ample, and the
crop suffers for want of the food
when the soil is really rich in that
food. 1t is In the unavailable state
and the crop cannot use It.
Nine times in ten when we find
soil that is said to have worn out,
1t only needs the increasing of its
supply of organic matter. AS soon
as the farmer applies a cast of ma
nure or grows crop that has a heavy
root system and causes consider
able organic matter to be left in OF
to fall upon the soil each year, like
clover or alfalfa, we find that the
fertility of the soil increases and that
1t again produces as abundant crops
as 1t ever did before. God made
the minerals, and judging from the
way He made all else, He made an
abundance of them. He expects us
to see to it that the supply of organic
matter is maintained to meet the
needs of our crops. If we do this the
fertility of the soil will be MAIN
tained If not, it will decrease each
year, till 1t will refuse to produce
profitable crops.-Colman's Rural
World.

Plckinp ExbIbItIon Corn.

Because of the late season and the
difficulty in maturing corn, the man.
agement of the National Corn Expo
sition, Chicago, decided to permit ex-
hibitors to fire-dry their corn. The
method of fire-drying is exceeding
simple. Place the corn on racks or
hang 1t on raf.ers in some out
building where there is good circu-
lation of air. In this building place
an oil stove, or supply heat with any
means convenient. An ordinary
wood or coal stove will answer the
purpose very we'll. Simply maintain
enough heat to result in an active
circulation of air. This will remove
the surplus moisture, but will not re-
suit In chaffy corn.-American Gull
