While Jack Frost does lots of dam age to fruit and vegetables if he comes ont of season. he nevertheless per forms a useful mission in many ways. One of these is the assistance he gives the Imprisoned germs of the hard shelled nuts in getting out of their houses when the spring days come. Absorbing moisture as they lie buried in the grass and leaves. the freezing process splits the shell, and when it is warm enough and the nut has enough soil or liter fer the purpose the seed springs ta life. opens it's cage and goes to growing.

Now and then one runs across some discussion of the question whether there is any connection between the feeding of silage and tuberculosis. There is no necessary connection be- tween the two things. though 1t is quite likely that the stable conditions under which silage Is often fed-warm air and little or no yentilation-are quite conducive to the spread of tu- bereulosis once It gets foothaid. Healthy stock in properly ventilated quarters will not contract tuberculosis from eating silage any sooner than they will from eating corn fodder or clover hay. It's what they take into their lungs and not what goes into their stemaehs that does the mischief.

The Maine experiment station has for the past nine years been conduct ing an extensive as well as exhaustive series of experiments along the line ol developing strain of Plymouth Rocks of large egg caRaeity-that Is. stfaih in which large laying capacity would be transmitted from parent to on- spriug. \ bulletin recently issued by the station covering the experiments of the period meniianed states Iii con clnSion that so far as has been oD- served this aim has uet been realized, egg laying capacity seeming to be al most entirely an individual rather than an inherited matter. The experiments showed that, instead of increasing. the egg capacity of one flock selected with especial care from prolific mothers in fact deferiorated somewhat during the nine year period. While those in charge of the experiments assign no specific reason for this deterioration and possibly could not. is thele not I possibility that chicks hafcbed from hens which were producing as high as aD eggs annually may have lacked vitality as . result and that this Isore than descent from prolific ancestors ,nav be a determining factor ia large esx cspacityf Whatever the cause. the above hudinSs are more than like tv to lei a iof of hot air out ef the tlssrns of some poultry raisers who have been getting unheard Of prices for eggs alleged to be from 2oo egg strain breeds
