Egg-Enting Hens.

The habit of egg-eating is usually
most prevalent at this season of the
year, just after the SHOWS are over
and others of the hens are laying the
first eggs of their spring clutch. In
the case of show birds, they often con-
tract this bad habit in the exhibition
hall, because when they are penned
up in small coops and lay an egg they
have nothing to occupy their time but
to peck at the egg until the shell
finally gives way. In the case of hens
or pullets just beginning to lay the
first eggs Of a new clutch, they are
more liable at this time than any
other to drop an occasional soft
shelled egg. and nothing has a more
profound effect than these in teaching
a flock of hens the egg-eating habit.

A CautIous Judge.

Some years ago there was a trial
for murder in Ireland in which the
evidence was so palpably insufficient
that the judge stopped the case and
directed the jury to return a verdict
of Not guilty
A well-known lawyer, however, who
wished to do something for the fee
he had received for the defense,
claimed the privilege of addressing
the court
Wen hear with pleasure, Mr.. B."
said the Judge; hut. to prevent accs-
dent. we'll first acquit the prisoner.

How Animals Use Their Tails

Very few people ever stop to observe
what very useful things animals tails
are to their owners. Horses, cows and
other creatures use their caudal appen-
dages as fly flappers. Cats, squirrels
and many more, twist them around
their necks for comforters. The rat
has raised the use of his tail to fine
art, for by its means its guides the
blind and steals jelly, oil and cream
out of jars and bottles.
The raccoon catches crabs with its
tail, and the monkey finds his tail a
valuable asset In swinging his way
through his native forests. Fish steer
their way by means of their tail, the
ant eater uses his bushy tail as an
umbrella, while the vanity of the pea
cock is fed by the beauty of its tail

The man who is raising spring
lambs for market aims to make them
fat as quickly as possible; there is
always an unsupplied demand for this
class OF live stock, and there is q
tendency 70 rush the little animals to
market as fast as they can be fatten-
ed. Corn with clover hay is consid-
cred the most profitable ration by lead
ing lamb growers.
The eve before lambing should have
a variety of sueculent feeds, snch as
mangels, beets, green's, clover and
meadow hay A small quantity of feed
containing protein may be fed advan-
tageously, as it supplies the bone
building material lacking in most
foods, and keeps the bowels in good
condition. After lambing the concen-
trated feed should consist of large
part of bran, all that will be eaten
up clean. with clover or meadow hay
for roughness. This ration will an
swer for lambs also. Turn the eve and
her young to grass for short time
during the warmest part of the day.
This treatment will insure the most
favorable conditions for the develop
ment of the lamb up to the time 1t is
to be fed and marketed in the yearling
class, when it should be finished on
a concentrated ration, including corn,
with such roughness as the feeder may
find available.
The study of sheep and lamb feed
ing is one of great interest, but the
main point to be considered is that the
balanced ration which contains the
highest percentage of digestible nu-
trients will produce the best results.

HOLDING the CEOPSs
With normal conditions the crop Of
staple products of the soil for this
year will, without a doubt, be rec
| ord breaker The prices now being
paid and that have been paid, will be
a sure stimulant to the farmers of the
country to produce more, II they can,
of wheat. corn and cotton. With the
present prices asked and given for
beef and pork, those situated so they
may grow more cattle and hogs will
undoubtedly do their best. The tillers
of the soil are like other people, they
like to do that that pays
In nearly every leading paper pub
lished in the cotton states the farm
ers are being urged not to give less
attention to cotton, their staple crop.
II they were urged to curtail the crop
with present prices prevailing it
would be in vain, but they are being
advised to raise more corn and more
cattle and more hogs, and to thus en-
able themselves to not only get all
they can for their cotton. but to spend
their bread and meat.
Recent estimates which come from
Trustworthy sources are to the effect
that many millions Of bushels OF
wheat and corn. and many thousands
of bales Of cotton of last years crop
remain in the hands of the producers.
Conditions are not what they used to
be. Farmers, thousands of them, who
used to be burdened with mortgages,
now have bank accounts and money
for whatever tEey need or want They
can AFFORD to hold their crops for the
best prices. and have done It.
This means millions of dollars
worth of the crop Of last year are yet
TO be cashed. and 1t means continued
business for the transportation lines.
Il means the addition of last years
surplus to this years products And,
by the way. the fact that the PRO
ducers have been able 10 hold their
products accounts for the high cost
of living, in part at least With good
crops this year and the surplus of last
year yet on hand, it viii not be sur
prising IL the prices Of these products
should be something below what they
now are. Wise farmers may see this.
and many OF them who are now car
rying their surplus may see reason
for turning il loose.-Eyansvills
