Experiment Station the chief object
in making chemical examination Of
brown-shelled and white shelled eggs
was TO determine whether there Il
any superiority of one over the other
as to quality. The test shows thai
the shells aud their color have but
slight effect on the food value OF the
eggs. 1t has been said by some thai
the brown eggs ale richer than the
white ones, but this statement as not
borne out by a chemical analysis, ano
the physical examination proves that
the main points ofsuperiority, though
slight, are possessed by the white
eggs. The minute differences that
are found between she two groups are
exceeded by variation between varie-

FIGHT AGAINST BOIL WEEVlL
Pair of Injurious Little Insects Lays Enough Eggs to Reproduce 134,-
 100000 Individuals.

The boil weevil is undoubtedly the most serious menace the cotton plant CT has ever faced. Until 1t arrived there was apparently nothing to pre- vent a steady increase in cotton prod ucts answering to enlarging demands Of the world. as 1t was generally held that within the area now devoted to cotton raising there could be produced double the present crop. This bright outlook faded before the weeyil al though the earlier apprehensions of a possible abandonment of cotton raising as a result of it's ravages have subsided
 In 1895 the weeyil was not known in this country outside of few eoun- ties on the southern Texas coast. By 1903 it had extended northward over much of eastern Texas and in Octo- Der of that year it established isolated colonies in Louisiana. By 1906 the enemy had entered nearly all of the cotton counties of Texas. had over spread Louisiana and was present in parts of Oklahoma and Arkansas. and it has since invaded Mississippi
 Some idea of the damage wrought may be obtained from a comparison of yields in ten counties that were free from the weevil in 1899. but bad 1y infested in 1902 The yield In the latter year was only 47 per cent. as great as in the former.
 The pest Is hard to exterminate on account of its habits and rapdity of growth and multiplication As it's name implies. the boil weeyil passes nearly all of its life in the fruit of the plant and cannot be reached with poison. From egg to adult stage re quires but IA days. and single pair will lay enough eggs in a season to reproduce 134.0oO. GOO individuals
 Much good was expected from the introduction of the Guatemalan ant. in its own country the natural enemy Of the weevil. but this importation sue cumbed to changed climatic condi- tions. native ant, however. known as Solenopsis geminata, and which travels up and down the cotton stalk has taken issue with the weeyil. first fighting him as an interloper and later hunting him out as an article oi diet. According to the bureau of en tomology. Solenopsis geminata Is re sponsible for the destruction of more than half the weeyils that fall before their natural enemies Good results have followed the introduction of new cultural methods. such as burninl the cotton stalk in the fall as soor as possible after the last of the croy has been gathered. and by induclns speedy maturity of the following sea sons crop through early planting auC the use of fertilizers

Setting Turkeys.

Plenty of feed water and grit are given. and the turkey allowed to be alone. The coop is six feet on the sides and at least two feet high When the poults hatch the corners of the coop are lifted. after the dew is off, and the young ones allowed to run Tn the eve ming the little fellows are shut in to keep out vermin At first they are fed bread crumbs, boiled eggs and meat crumbled together, after being mixed with water or milk and squeezed dry
 When a month old they are allowed to roam with turkey but encouraged to be at home in the evening by being fed regularly an hour or so before sun. down, says writer in Baltimore
 American Uusally the turkey hens will not come home of their own ac- cord unless educated in this way.

Cuack grass, otherwise known as tw!teh and scutch grass. is one of the worst weeds with which the farmer has to contend and usually becomes established in a field before it is de- tected. This pest has proved so troublesome in Minnesota that spe- cial study has been made of it by the experiment station. In the report which has been published recently different methods of eradication are discussed. Where the patches are small they may be covered with tar paper for 60 or 75 days CT hand dig ging may be resorted to, but these are impracticabie where the fields are of any size and the quack grass pretty well distributed,
 The report then takes up the other methods. the first of which is the bare fallow, that Is, blowing under the quack grass when in blossom, which is from about the middle of June to the middle of July, or blowing in April and May, if it best fits farm work. This blowing is done seven or eight inches deep. using chain to draw under all the grass above ground. The

ground Is then disked, setting the disk shallow, tapping half, following this with double disking the land every three or four days for four or five weeks, beginning with the second week Afterwards disk about once week through the summer. Hand hoe around trees, posts. etc. Flow again just before freezing.
 This necessitates the loss of the use of the land for one year. The station estimates the cost at from five to ten dollars an acre, but expresses the opinion that the thorough cultivation of the land and the decay of the grass roots will lead to bountiful crop following and completely eradicate the quack grass. There is, however a practical difficulty most years in blowing land eight inches deep in the middle of July
 The station then suggests the sum mer fallow in connection with clover

The cabbage root maggot is com mon and destructive cabbage pest. The adult of this maggot is a fly not unlike the common house fly. The fly deposits the small white eggs in the earth crevices around the plant early in the spring and the maggots matching from them burrow into the root. Plants attacked by these mag gots usually suddenly wilt, and, If pulled up, most probably the white maggots will be found.
