OF the 60 fowls. 1913 per cent laid
the maximum number of eggs the
first year and only 1917 per cent
gave the greatest production the Sc
cond year. Though the fowls
made profit the third year, it did
not compare favorably with that OF
the other two years and was too
small to justify the labor and ex-
penses of maintaining them. 1t is
recommended that farmers adopt
some method of marking their fowls
so as to dispose of them after the
second year. thereby securing the
highest egg production and greatest
profits from given number of fowls.
Tests to determine the time re-
quired for eggs to become fertile
after male has been added to the
breeding pen showed that it is safe to
save eggs for Matching from Leg
horns after the male has been with
the fowls four days; but in the case
OF larger or general-purposes fowls.
like Plymouth Rocks or Rhode Is
land Reds. longer period OF about
seven days should be allowed to
elapse. Tests to determine the per-
sistence of fertility after the male
has been removed from the breeding
pen showed good fertility in the case
OF Leghorns up to IL days, one egg
being found fertile after 20 DAYS:
ana In the case of plvmnuth Rockc
the general fertility was good up to
10 days. one egg being fertile after
the male had been withdrawn 1G
days.
1t was found that yellow corn gave
a deep yellow color to the yolks OF
eggs. but that wheat and white corn
gave no yellow tint. Green feed
Is believed to have the same effect
as yellow corn.-Maryland Bulletin

CORN CROP THREATENED
May Not Measure Up to Half Of
=. That Possible Under Favor
able Conditions.
USE THE BEST SEED POSSIBLE

Minneapolis, April 8. - Unless
farmers are made to realize the seri-
BUSINESS Of the seed situation and
follow instructions as to seed selec-
ton and termination tests, the Min
nesota corn crop for 1912 will not be
able to measure up to half the nor
NAL crop, say those who have given
study to the problem. Minnesota
has raised 50,O00,000 to 6O,00O,OO0
bushels of corn in the past and with
favorable conditions should raise
rs, 900, 900 bushels this year if the
farmers will plant good seed.
The Minnesota Field Crop Breed
ers association is heading move
ment, backed by every commercial,
financial and educational agency
concerned with the problem, to ward
off the danger of poor crop. The
corn crop of the state is valued at
about s25,000,00o per year and
every effort possible is being made to
reduce the threatened loss.
For the guidance Of farmers, the
following advice has been offered:
Use the best seed obtainable re
CARELESS of price.
For North Dakota, Minnesota and
northern Wisconsin do not use seed
grown south of the forty-fourth
parallel Of latitude.
II seed will not test 100 per cent
plant the best that can be obtained
but make allowances according ely.
When an extra amount of seed has
been planted thinning will be neces-
sary.
It is better to use seed terminating
only so to go per cent on test, that
is adapted to the locality than tc
use 100 per cent seed foreign to the
soil
Prof Otto /. Bergh has stated
that seed will be tested free ct thu

New Type of Destroyer.


stroyer Hanley, representing a type
of torpedo boat destroyer new to
the American navy, was successfully
launched today at the yard of the
Fore River Shipbuilding company.
The Henley will be the first of the
destroyers fitted with both turbine
and reciprocating engines. The re-
ciprocating engines will be used for
cruising at from ten to sixteen knots
speed. When the vessel is to be run
at higher rate of speed the recipro-
eating engines will be cut out and
the turbines operated. The contract
speed of the Henley is set at twenty
nine knots an hour, but it is expect
ed that she will be able to make at
least thirty-one knots.
The Henley is named to commence
rate the deeds of two brothers, John
cambridge Henley and Robert Hen
ley. They were nephews of Martha
Washington and both were distin-
guished officers in the early days of
the American navy. John Henley
commanded the Carolina, the vessel
which so aided Andrew Jackson at
New Orleans in breaking the force OF
the advance of the British army. Rob-
ert Henley served in the navy during
the war of 1872 and particularly
distinguished himself at the battle
of Lake Champlain.

Mr.. McGregor: seYOu can burn
ire breaks the first thing you do and
II you have any more time we will
do that. Another subject that
hasn't anybody mentioned here is
taking care of the old slashing that
was made probably several years
ago. think that is one of the most
essential things we have
Mr.. Thornton: Il think we ought
to burn fire lines around, perhaps
$50 feet wide, and leave the slashing
as it is. All Of this on the high
ground you should burn fire lines
completely around the slashings. I
think that would protect them with
out burning the slash. The lumber
men have expressed their willing
ness to do as we directed. The
settlers are waiting until the bigger
fellows commence he work and when
they do the settlers will proceed, but
not until them
Settlers Follow Lumbermen
Mr.. &senach: "The settlers were
doing exactly as the lumbermen had
done in there and were doing very
satisfactory work. think they are
doing fine work.
Burned Timber Also
Mr.. e. Alger: eve have had a
fellow, a small contractor near us.
that had operated during the winter
and he had an idea that if his brush
was not burned by the first of May
he was going to be up against 800
fine and time went along until the
afternoon of the last day of April
and he had about five hours to get
rid of his slash so he set fire to his
slash and burned it and about $780,
900 worth of the timber that belong
ed to my company. He saved his
500 but it cost my people $4,000.
Wouldn't it have been better if there
had been fire ranger there and he
had said, you let it go until tomor-
row and may be the wind will be in
another direction. If ranger hasn't
sense enough to stretch a point and
use his own Judgment then he is not

Many Different Conditions.
Mr.. Tierney: 81 would like to
make a suggestion. I think the
talks today have brought out pretty
clearly the fact that brush burning
is pretty difficult proposition when
we look at it as whole. There are
SO many different conditions to be
met and SO many conditions even
on small tracts even as small as ten
acres or less, and the costs of dis
posiH8 of the brush differs accord
ingly. 1t is really a scientific prob
lem. It seems to me it required just
as much thought, just as much figur-
ing on the part of the lumbermen as
the figuring on the cost of the skid
ding or hauling or any part of the
