KILLING orr THE BOOSTERS
Only Few Of the Best Produced
Cocks Should Be Kept for Ex-
change With Other Farmers.

Minnesota has surplus from her
farms annually OF over 1,5OO,00O
cases Of eggs, says state bulletin.
Three-ffths of these are produced be-
fore September l of each year. The
Government experts consider that
there is a loss Of five per cent. in
value because of Chick development, :"
or because roosters run with the lay
ing flock. This common practice
causes a loss Of about $1,000.000 an
nually to the farmers OF Minnesota.
What should be done.
A few breeding cocks, the best pro-
duced. should be kept for exchange
with other farmers or for sale. These
should be confined by themselves, like
all the other breeding stock of the
farm: and all the rest should be killed
or sold at once. They should never
be allowed to run with the flock. You
will get just as many eggs; they will
cost you less; they are more easily,
preserved; viii Withstand heat long
er; are better for shipping; are better
for storage; will save the hens from
injury during the molt; and they will
go to laying sooner.
Mate up your breeding pens; keep
two or three extra birds for emergen-
cies; then sell or kill all the rest Of
the ROSTERS on the farm. Help save
that $1.000,000, and perchance save
yourself from paying fine Of $50 for
marketing eggs unfit for human food.
Let there be mighty slaughter Of
these unproductive, greedy. useless
Eoosters ON the farm.

A contributor to,the Inland Printer re-
'peats the story. first told by an Arkansas
paper. about man that was mortally
afraid Of thunderstorm and once craw-
led into hollow log. The thunder rolled,
the lightning flashed. the rain poured
down in torrents, and the log swelled up
until the poor fellow was wedged in so
tight that he could not move. All the
sins of his life began to pass before him,
when he suddenly remembered that he
had not paid his newspaper subscription.
He declared this made him feel SO small
that he crawled out of the log through a
knot hole without the least difficulty.

tThe hardest thing we have to con.

keep the boys in bed and from work
ing too hard,'' said O. D. Center Of

Of the encampment. "These lads want
to DO all the work there is on the fair
grounds and sleep seems almost un.
known to them,'' he continued.
Lieutenant Herran Of the regular AZ
my, who is generating the camp, said
that hereafter he would not allow one
Of his boys to get up before the bugle
calls and any delegate Vho sticks his
head out Of tent before the proper
time will be in line for term in the
guard house. Gail growing boys need
q full eight hours sleep and I propose
to have these boys get good rest ev'
cry night. It has been bred into these
fellows that early rising is the only
thing and the minute the sun starts te
get up they begin to pile out Of bed
They have got I to have the right
amount Of sleep, that 's all"
