there remains a profit of $500 per

gently, for there is money in it.
There are being organized now in
certain sections of West Virginia what
are known as egg circles. The pur
pose Of these organizations is to mar
ket the eggs of the members to better
advantage. A board Of directors is
elected and sales agent appointed
Each farmer is provided with small
rubber stamp. This Stamp contains
the name of the egg circle, and the
stamps are numbered consecutively.
All eggs sent out are stamped by the
farmer who produces them, SO that ev.
cry egg can be traced back to the orig
inal producer. The sales agent, then,
is in position to guarantee every egg
to the retailer, and the retailer in turn
can guarantee every egg to the con
sumer. II the consumer finds any bad
eggs they can be traced back to the
original producer, and he can be fined
according to the rules of his local egg
circle. The very fact that all eggs can
be traced back to the original producer
causes each producer to be more care
full in gathering them. If a nest of
eggs which has been overlooked Is
found, these eggs in q majority of
cases, we'll be consumed on the farm.
and will not enter into the regular
shipment. Each farmer is provided
by the sales agent with cardboard car
tons, all of the same style. These are
packed in the ordinary thirty dozen
egg cases, and then shipped away.
Egg circles have been in operation
in certain parts of Canada for the past
two or three years, and they have been
the means of increasing the produc-
ton and getting more money for the
eggs.

is profuse bleeding which causes the
farmer to become scared, when there
is no cause for any alarm. The sim
plest way when possible is to apply a
pack of cotton or clean white cloth
and cover with "a long clean bandage
to stop all dropping of blood.
If the wound is in a place where it
can not be bandaged, then make a
hook of piece of wire or crochet
needle; make this red hot, allow to
cool and pull out the bleeding vessels
and tie with a clean white thread.
Another method Is to take a red hot
iron and scar or cook the flesh sur
rounding the bleeding vessels, and
this will stop the flow of blood.
The sewing and bandaging of
wounds should only be done by pro
fessionals. because the stitches will
