But, nine times out OF ten, the
trouble is caused by adulterated

To avoid all such trouble, every

several times in the history OF 1hls

cepted the supply Of poultry and eggs
offered, and at better prices IMAM

other lines. The great drawback with
poultry and egg production is that the
farmers do not produce enough, TOT
although millions of dozens OF eggs
come east from the west, yet eggs
seem to find new customers every

when the production of an article i
in excess of the demand for one VI

ducements to stimulate investment
in some direction in which eggs pei
form a prominent part (perhap

keeps pace with the supply. AT pres

Give Alfalfa a Chance.

The critical time for alfalfa is ap'
preaching. Feed has been high in
price and it has been good business
to make the alfalfa fields pasture as
much stock as possible during the
winter months. These same fields
must continue providing feed until
grass is ready for pasture. But al
falfa is seriously harmed by heavy
pasturing in March when the plants
are putting out new growth and strug-
Cling to establish themselves for their
summer job. Then is when they need
help.
With the exceedingly wet a OF
1908, and the tramping of stock all
through the winter, the soil in the al
falfa field is likely to be pretty hard
The air has been tramped and soaked
out Of it and the soil is in no condi
ton to encourage growth. 1t needs
a disking to help it out. That diskinl
should be given before the middle o
March and the stock should be KEEP
off for a little while at least. But tn
important thing is to disk the alfalfa
to loosen up the soil and let air int
it. to put it in shape to take In an
hold moisture for the heavy crop
that the plants will struggle to pr
duce.
The spike.toothed disk harrow, cal
ed the alfalfa renovator, is the be-
tool for this purpose. 1t digs tt
soil up and does no damage to IL
plants, even on quite sandy soils. b
a good job may be done with an Q
binary disk harrow if attention
4 given to adjusting and running 1t.
I double disking and a narrowing wi
a smoothing harrow will put the 81

The Labor Problem.

A man keenly interested in the sllo
development says that the greatest
stumbling block in the farmers pain
is the question Of labor. He mas DE-
come convinced that the work OF NIL
ing the silo, handling the silage ard
feeding is much greater than other
methods of harvesting the corn crop.
He will admit that the feed is posi-
bly a little better when it comes from
the silo, but he does not realize to
any a~ppreciative extent the decided
value of corn silage over fodder or 9TH
er classes of roughage. AS a matter
of fact, a little study will convince
him that the silo is a labor saver rath'
er than a creator of labor upon the
farm. It is easier to put the corr IN
the silo during the early fall than TO
shock and shred later in the winter. In
fact. the whole process where the sllo
is used is about equal to the labor OF
cutting and shocking the fodder. You
have left for your winter amusement
drawing the stalks from the field ane
feeding while or shreding and huskint
by machinery, an altogether expensive
Job when days are short and inter
ruptions frequent. In the matter 0
feeding it is always much easier t
take the feed from the silo than t
handle the whole stalks, and 1t !
more convenient than to handle tn
shredded fodder.
Another labor item is found in tn
barnyard. The manure from Stag
} fed cattle contains none OF the lorI
coarse stalks that naturally work I'M
! the barnyard where the whole cor
is fed. Taking it all around, the 81
reduces the labor upon the farm du
! ing the entire process of handling tt
corn chop with the exception OF tV
: or three days in the early fall WHIT
the silo is being filled. 1t is a matt
= Of doing the work all up at once al
y having the balance of your time fr
from the drudgery incident to d
fodder, whether whole OF shredded.
