The uncertainty as to when the
next rain will come makes It essential
that the farmer stay on the alert, and
the moment that a field has become
sufficiently dry for working, he should
quickly work Il; thereby preventing
any further evaporation of any con.

When the exhaustion Of soil mois-

We should never permit excessive

brought about in the following man.
ner: During development OF the
young chick the latter derives the
largest part Of the lime II requires
from the she'll Other material is also
removed from the shell. The shell
therefore becomes extremely brittle
and very liable to breakage. Entire
ly sound eggs may be covered or
soiled with the contents of such
broken, incubated eggs. This egg
meat on the shell of other eggs soon
teens with bacteria. Many of these
bacteria possess the faculty to pene.
trate through the pores Of the shell,
invade the contents, and bring about
their decomposition.
Considering the enormous losses
caused by the incubation OF market
eggs, we might conclude that 1t Is
impossible to prevent them, since 9TH
erwise it certainly would be done.
This, however, is not the case. It Is
rldiculously easy to prevent these
losses. All the farmer has to do is
to keep his male birds apart from
the hens as soon as the breeding
season Is over We have to educate
the farmer to do his Matching as early
as possible and then to kill of the
old roosters. The rooster generally
causes considerable noise and dis
turbs many persons who keep poul.
try in limited quarters, yet his pres.
ence is endured because he is be-
lieved to be necessary. It has re-
peatedly been shown that the pres
ence or absence Of the male bird
does not exert the slightest influence
on the production of eggs. Moreover,
in the absence OF a male the hens
are less likely to be broody.
There is, therefore, not the slight
est excuse for the enormous losses
caused by the fertilization OF market
eggs. This is due to carelessness and
ignorance.
Decomposition can be prevented, to
a great extent, by proper care Of
the fowls and eggs. Decomposition
is almost exclusively due to the ac-
tivity of micro-organisms. These
micro-organisms, especially bacteria,
may infect the egg during its forma-
tion, as well as after It is laid.

FURTHER SUGGESTIONS FOR FARMERS
REGARDING THE COMING CORN CROP
Prof. Crabe Of the State Agricultural College Calls Attention the
Importance Of the Proper Preparation of the Seed Bed
Before PIanting---DOnt Depend Upon the
Rainfall

n IKE all other farm crops, the
IL corn plant requires a suitable
seed bed. To insure 1t, the
thoughtful farmer loses no opportun'
ity to take advantage Of natures de-
velopment Of plant-food by every pos.
slble means. When 1t is remembered
that plants take their food in liquid
form, the Importance Of retaining
soil-molsture. constantly, for the de.
velopment Of plant-food can be fully
comprehended, for 1t is at once rec.
ognized that mass Of dry clods eX-
posed to sun and wind can not be
contributing to such development. II
is, therefore, unwise to handle a field
SO as to reduce 1t to that condition;
one Of the most common mistakes.
Some argue that because they may
reasonably expect excessive rainfall
at later period, it is sufficient ex-
cuse for them to, in turn, subject
their fields to excessive drying, which
is incorrect. Development of plant
food ceases with either extreme, and
the fact that the field is at times
too wet should only spur us to an
extra effort to see to II that we do
not permit the other extreme to exist.
The proper nitrification Of the soil
does not take place during periods
when 1t is so water-soaked as to ex-
clude the air. II behooves lis to see
to 1t that surplus water is conducted
from the field, which can be facili.
tated by surface grading or laying the
field of in fiat loaves (as it were)
as is so common in eastern England
where there Is much excessive rain
fall.
Where this is properly arranged
for, and where the ,subsoil is porous
enough to assist materially in pass
ing excessive moisture downward, all
is well in this respect. However,
in many parts of Kansas, impervious-
ness of the subsoil demands that we
go farther and correct the deficiency
by tile.drainage; thus carrying Off
even more of the surplus water by
the lower route and in so doing fore
ing much more air through the soil;
with its attendant sweetening and
otherwise beneficial effects.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE QUALITY OF EGGS
rt in egg investigations, X. s. A. CT
[By Otto Maurer, expert in


The high cost of living has caused
widespread efforts towards increased
efficiency in methods of production
and distribution of food products.
The egg-industry is an industry in
which enormous losses are sustained
through decomposition, breakage and
incubation. He who has seen the
wagon-loads Of rotten eggs hauled
from the establishments of big egg
dealers, must understand the tremen-
dous waste. The value of the poultry
and eggs produced in the United
States, exclusive OF inslllar posse
sions, represents about the same
value as the hay or wheat crop, the
latter being estimated at about 500
million dollars. OF course, the losses
connected with the egg-industry are
correspondingly large and it is won
der that, until very recently, no ef-
forts were made to save the millions
Of dollars lost by the spoilage Of eggs.
The losses connected with the egg
industry are due to incubation, de-
composition and breakage.
termination of the fertile egg be-
gins in the body of the mother hen
and continues above 6S' F. The nor
NAL temperature, however, is 103' +.
Below this point development pro-
ceeds more slowly: above 103' F. 1t
proceeds more rapidly. For instance,
to produce a blood ring; that is, to
make the egg unfit for consumption,
seven or eight days are required at
90 F., while three days are required
at 103' F. and only twenty-four hours
at 1867 F. It may be easily under
stood, therefore, that during the hot
summer months the farmer and deal
er has to use the greatest care to
prevent the deterioration of fertile
eggs. This should be remembered
when we discuss, later on, the Gus
tomary methods Of handling eggs.
II has been found that q much
larger percentage Of newly-laid, fer
tilized eggs contain bacteria than OF
