Gladstone on the Balkans.

The traditional opposition of Bulga-
ria to Turkey constituted. according to
Mr.. Gladstone. one of the chief fac
tors OF European progress. Speaking
Of the Balkan peoples, he once said:
'They are like shelving beach
which restraints the ocean. That beach,
it is true, is beaten by the waves: 1t Is
laid desolate: it produces nothing; 1t
becomes perhaps nothing save mass
of shingle, of rock, of almost useless
seaweed. But it is a fence behind
which the cultivated earth can spread
and escape the incoming tide, and such
was the resistance of Bulgarians, OF
Servians and of Greeks. 1t was that
resistance which left Europe TO claim
the enjoyment of her own religion and
to develop her institutions AID her
laws."-London Chronicle.

lnfertile Eggs Keep Best.

A large part Of the heavy loss from
bad eggs can be obviated by the pro-
duction Of infertile eggs. This has
been demonstrated by the investiga-
lions which during the past two years
have been conducted In the middle
west by the department Of agricul-
ture.
Secretary Wilson estimates that there
Is an annual loss Of 5000, 900 in the
egg crop Of the United States, the
greater portion Of which falls on the
farmer. who is by far the largest pro-
Queer. OF this enormous loss about
one-third is caused by heat which de-
velops the embryo Of the fertile egg,
causing what is known to the trade rs
a blood ring" AS 1t is impossible to
produce blood ring" In an infertile
egg such an egg will stand a higher
degree Of temperature without seriou
deterioration than will fertile egg.
The secretary says that II farmers
and others engaged in the production
Of eggs would market their male birds
as soon as the Matching season Is over
large saving would be made, as prac-
tically every infertile egg would grade
first or second II clean and promptly
marketed.

MILLET IS A MONEY CROP
IF IT IS PROPERLY GROWN
Gives Good Grain and Hay Itself and
Leaves Soil In Good Condition
For Other Things.

To grow a profitable crop Of millet
one must have thorough knowledge
of its habits and needs. This grain is
a great forager OF the three or four
inches Of soil Just below the surface
and will send out such an amount of
root growth that this part Of the soil
will feel like sponge during the ripen-
ing period. 1t will also stool to such
the ground and crowd out every other
plant that may start at the same time.
1t will head out ready to produce grain
as soon as the real corn days of July
and August come. l have seen millet
that was sown the second week of
June head out In the same week as
some close beside 1t that was sown

same, except that the earlier sown
would have the advantage Of more

the first few weeks Of its growth mil
let, like corn, must have available an
abundance of nitrogen and other plant
food. 1t must also have plenty of
moisture to draw upon during the
heading and ripening period. A warm,
moist season lasting late into the fall
will give bumper crop. If were to
prescribe an ideal condition for grow
ing millet should advise farmers to
plow an old sod very shallow in the
fall, harrow thoroughly in early spring.

The Test For Acid Soft.

The material used in testing soils
for acidity is the ordinary blue Iitmus
paper, which may be obtained at any
drug store. This should be kept in
tightly stoppered bottles and must
never be touched with the hands. Use
small pliers or a pin in handling the
strips. A good method in testing the
soils IS to place the litmus paper in
the bottom Of tumbler with a piece
Of blotting paper over It and then TO
put In the soil to be tested. Add suf.
ficient water to saturate the soil, COW
er with a saucer and allow to stand.

.Cpled Fresh From the Farm
BETTER LAND, NOT MORE
LAND.

Only too often do farmers COM
pei themselves to struggle
through life with poor tools.
poor buildings and worse house
hold equipmenN In order that
they may save up money with
which to buy more land when
the facts are they do not want
and cannot use more land.
Land hunger has been a hui
man afiiiction since the days of
Moses, but 1t should not be so.
The desire to own land Is most
highly laudable, but the craze
for more land" too often
amounts to a real arrangement.
Annual demonstrations In ev-
cry neighborhood show that the
land is not producing to Its full
capacity, and most Of 1t is not
even approaching that. With
the present state Of the labor
market there are comparatively
few men who would not be bet
ter off by spending their surplus
money on the home farm than
in the purchase Of more land.
Large areas Of land at present
values mean large taxes and
other OUTLAWS for upkeep. They
must be made to produce well
in order to pay return on the
investment Of cash and labor.
but too often they do not do 1t.
With his available force the
average farmer can produce
more in actual crops, live stock
and money on his home quarter
than he can on section, and
the labor and. taxes are much
lighter.
More important still, he can
enjoy the comforts Of house by
investing in his own farm In
stead of depriving himself Of
these in order to satisfy his land
hunger. Spend your cash on the
home farm and see II life Is not
the better worth living.-Kansas

FIVE bushels Of grain to an acre. Ev-
cry animal on the farm relishes this
palatable, hearty, nutritious feed.
Millet is used with great success as
filling crop. have seen a field
piowed June 90, narrowed once and
sown June 20 that yielded two tons OF
excellent hay. Millet does not impov-
erish the soil so much as many other
crops, for 1t cannot use anything that
is not available to another crop. nor
does 1t let any available plant food
waste where It's roots feed. Owing to
It's enormous root growth 1t leaves the
land in the very best Of filth. but uses
practically all Of the available mois-
ture.
Probably the most useful variety for
n northern climate Is the Hungarian
or German millet. as 1t is sometimes
called. Sow twelve to sixteen quarts
in early seedlings and eighteen to
twenty-five quarts for late seedlings.
1t will not stool so freely later In the
season, not over half an inch. 1t need
not be covered except to hide 1t from
the birds. Manure Is the best ferti-
lizer to use. and also advise heavy
application of chemical fertilizer. 1t
Is a good practice to cut before the
first frost and to cure In cock for hay
or to bind and set up to ripen for
grain. Do not let the seeds ill before
cutting for hay. 1t is not advisable
to feed too much Of this. grain to stock,
