Dangers Before ASPARAGUS.

paragus. There is occasionally some
trouble with rust, and there is aspara-

There is also black fly-like insect
which eats on the stalk of the plant.
The beetles and fly can be trapped by
letting a few plants grow up without
cutting until they are infested with
the bugs. Then they may be cut and
burned.
The rust may be combated by burn
ing the dead plants in winter or some
times by spraying in the summer after

INFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST
Large Part of Loss Can Be Ooviateo
According to investigation just
Completed.

A large part of the heavy loss from
bad eggs can be obviated by the pro-
duction of infertile eggs. This mas
been demonstrated beyond doubt by
the investigations concerning the I'M
provement of the farm egg which dur
ing the past two years have been con-
Quoted In the middle west by the bu-
reau of animal industry OF the depart
ment of agriculture.
Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture estimates that, between
the producer and the consumer, there
is an annual loss of s45,000,000 In the
egg crop of the United States, the
greater portion of which falls on the
farmer, who is by far the largest
producer. OF this enormous loss,
about one-third, or S15,00O,0O0, Is
caused by heat which develops the
embryo of the fertile egg, causing
what Is known to the trade as
blood ring" AS it is impossible to
produce a blood ring" in an infer
tile egg, such an egg will stand a
higher degree Of temperature without
serious deterioration than will fer
tile egg.
The secretary says that If farmers
and others engaged in the production
of eggs would market their male birds
as soon as the Matching season Is
over, a large saving would be made,
as practically every infertile egg
would grade first or second If clean
and promptly marketed.
No more simple or efficient method
for the improvement of the egg sup
ply Of the country could be adopted
than the production of infertile eggs
