A Branch Infected With San Jose
Scale.

ful examination, and in case the scale
IS found, report the same to the State
Nursery Inspector and see that none
OF the trees are planted until prop
erly treated.
Where the pest is found in young
orchards. every possible effort should
be put forth Immediately to extermi-
nate IL. In case IL is discovered while
yet restricted to few trees, and the
orchard is in an uninfested district,
the safest plan Is to destroy the In
tested trees and replace them with
others. But II the neighboring orch.
ards are infested. one should simply
provide himself with the necessary
Uutft and materials for waging a sys-
tematic warfare against the pest. For
email trees the box fumigator has
been used considerably, but the aver
age fruit grower will have best re-
suits with fall or spring spraying. A
badly infested orchard should be
pruned back severely SO as to remove
as much OF the dead and infected
wood as possible and leave the tree
open so that it can be much more
thoroughly covered with the wash BY
all means do not leave the young
orchard at the mercy of the scale in
hopes that Il will outlive the injury or
that something will appear to destroy
the pest, as every moment lost Is ex-
pensive. Keep the young orchard
clean and healthy and there will be
less trouble when it is at bearing
age
The control Of San Jose Scale in a
young orchard is a simple matter in
decd compared with its control in an
orchard Of large bearing trees. The
only point in favor of the old orchard
is that the scale multiplies less easily
on the rough shaggy bark. On trees
from twenty to forty feet tall the
scale can be properly controlled only
by means of a power sprayer provid-
ed with an elevated tower for reach
ing the topmost branches. In order
to fully appreciate the enormity OF
such work in an old orchard, one
ehould read the report of some exper-
imonts conducted by the New York
Experiment Station, where on some
of the old trees as much as twenty
gallons of the wash was required for
each tree.
In an old orchard OF old trees, more
than in a young orchard, the seyerest
pruning possible from the horticul-
tural viewpoint, should be resorted to.
II the trees have been neglected they
should be so thoroughly worked over
and cut back as TO give the tree a
/ low open head. This is coming more
and more into practice among fruit
( growers, as it not only greatly OBJ
viates the unpleasant factors OF spray
| ing and greatly reduces the expense
of gathering the fruit and of later
pruning. Pruning should be followed
by the same thorough spraying that
was advised for young trees, and
neither time nor material should be
spared in covering every spot.

TO PRESERVE EGGS ON FARM
Poultry Department Of University Of
Missouri Recommends "Water
Glass"

II is possible to bold eggs In good
condition from the spring months,
when they are cheap, until the fall
and winter days, when they are ex-
pensive. The method recommended
by the Poultry Department of the Uni
versity Of Missouri is that which uses
water glass" chemically known as
Sodium silicate" It costs about 30
cents quart, or 81 a gallon, and
can be purchased from any drug store
or ordered from poultry supply houses,
One part of the water glass to nine
parts OF water is the proportion used
TO make the preserving solution.
First be sure that the eggs are
strictly fresh aud clean. They should
not be dirty ones that have been
washed. as these do not keep so well.
1t is much better If they are infertlle,
as they are more certain to keep.
Pack the eggs in a stone crock or
This is on account of the air space in
the large end Pour over the solution.
From time to timc II may be neces-
sary to add to the solution to make up
for evaporation.
The eggs should keep six months or
more The flavor will be unchanged,
the difference being in the standing
up" of the yolk These eggs would
not look so we'll for poaching, but for
other purposes they are satisfactory,
The cost of such preserving is slight.

EGG EATING OF LAYING HENS
Prot. Kempster of the University Of
Missouri Tells How 20 Cure Habit.

a hen that eats her eggs is worse
than no hen at all II costs money
to keep her, and there is no return.
This vice is best cured by preventing,
but several treatments are advised by
Prof. Kempster of the University OF
Missouri.
The habit usually starts from a soft
shelled or a broken egg. The hen gets
a taste Of the egg flavor and soon
learns to break the eggs and eat them.
Sometimes the habit Is attributed to
the lack OF animal food In the ration,
and It is possible that this has some
thing to do with It. For success with
laying stock, regardless OF their bad
habits, animal food should be supplied.
Sometimes by scattering china eggs
over the floor the hens will become
discouraged trying to break them.
PAIRING off the upper mandible-the
top part OF the beak-until It is ten
der is a sure way to stop their peck
ing the eggs open.
The chief trouble, however, is hav-
ing the eggs lying around in plain
sight. Light nests are a frequent
cause OF egg eating, A dark nest,
where the hen will not be reminded
OF the presence Of the egg, will often
cure the habit The pattern Of nest
used at the Poultry Department of the
University OF Missouri opens toward
the wall and is quite dark. Several
other designs OF dark nests are prac'
I ticable and simple to make. They
/ have other advantages also.

POULTRY FOODS EASILY MADE
stead Of Buying Ready
Mixed.

Commercial poultry foods have a
place to fill, and for the man who is
not willing to go to the trouble for
himself, to mix a ration adapted TO
the needs Of his chickens, they will
be useful. However the average
farmer Of today has an idea Of a bal
anced ration and the need for one,
and can mix his own poultry food and
save some profits on it.
Besides the regular grains found in
all mixtures, the ready-mixed foods
usually contain many weed seeds
These can be found If one is willing
to separate out some Of the coarse
particles. These may be killed in the
digestive tract OF the fowl, but some
may survive and grow. Buying weed
seeds even for food is not good prac-
tice. The grains that make up these
mixtures are often damaged and OF
inferior quality. One poultry mixture
contained cracked corn, wheat, buck
wheat, barley, kaffS corn, weed seeds,
sunfower seed and grit. There L
be a virtue in the mixture in that II
gives variety. yet this is not an appre.
ciable advantage. 1t would be cheap
er and better mixed at home.
with chick feed the case is differ
ent. This should usually be pur-
chased ready prepared even though
some profit must be paid for the mix
ing. The little chicks are more par
ticular in their needs than are the

studvInu Nssdn Of on. Breed.

It is poor policy for a beginner tc
endeavor TO keep several breeds OF
poultry. The probabilities are that he
will give them all like attention and
food when they need to be treated
according to their natural dispositions
and peculiar needs.
The results are that he will favor a
certain breed because they do better
for him, when in reality the others
would have done Just as well II they
had received the treatment which waG
due them. Do not attempt too much,
but select a breed and then a variety
and stick to them.

change in the flavor and quality OF
meat II the chicken is fattsned for
Just a week before using on the table
A small coop is best for this, and a
