The proverbial advice, "Cobbler.
stick to your last" had an opposite
exemplification in the following anec-
dote, for which lions Advocate is re-
sponsible:
A colored man was brought before
a police judge, charged with stealing
chickens. He pleaded guilty, and re-
ceived sentence, when the judge asked
how it was he managed to lift those
chickens right under the window Of
their owners house when there was a
dog in the yard.
Hit wouldn't be of no use, judge .
said the culprit, ito try to 'splain dis
thing to you all. Eff you was to try
it, like as not you would git yer hide
full O. shot, an git no chickens, nei-
Their. Eff you want to engage in any
rascality, Judge, yo' bettah stick to

Keep An Emergency Box.


Is there an emergency box on your
farm on which you can depend IN case
Of accident? At this time of year ac-
cidents on the farm are numerous. In
handling machinery and in working
with animals one is likely to receive
cut or bruise which will prove fri

but If not thoroughly cleaned and
bandaged, the innocent-Iooking little
wound may cause the sacrifice of 2
limb or life, from blood poisoning.

~ GGS FROM Kansas bring about
II the same price as eggs from
the more north-westerly states.
The reason for this is easily under
stood. When the commission mer-
chants obtain a large percentage of
bad eggs from a certain territory, this
territory will get a bad reputation
with regard to eggs. The consequence
is q low price paid for eggs to pack
ers, agents. country merchants, and
finally to the farmers in this territory.
It is therefore of great interest to
everybody handling eggs to take the
best possible care of them, and es-
pecially to cooperate il their efforts
to improve the general quality of the
eggs from their territory. The con-
sumner should also be greatly interest
ed in this subject. 1t costs just as
much to collect, pack and ship a rot
ten egg as it costs to perform the
same service for a good egg. The
dealers who discard the bad eggs dis
tribute the loss over the rest of the
eggs and the consumer has to pay for
them.

ers' agent the eggs go to a central
shipping plant. For this trip the eggs
are picked up il comparatively small
quantities by a local freight train.
After having waited, often for hours,
in the hot sun on the station plat
form, the eggs are put into a hot
freight car, that serves as an excel
lent incubator, holding the suns heat
during the cooler hours of the night.
Here the eggs often stay for twenty
four hours, or longer. In the smaller
eastern states it does not take as
long to reach the packer. However,
in the less densely populated west
ern and middle-western states, where
the summers are excessively hot,
much damage is done to the eggs by
long trips in hot freight cars and by
long waits in the hot sun on the sta
ton platform. If the legislature would
compel the railroads to provide re-
frigerator cars and to take better
care Of eggs in less than car lots,
much loss would be prevented.
The packer, as soon as he re-
ceives the eggs, chills them thorough
" at about 40 degrees F. and then
candles and grades them carefully
according to size, cleanliness and

FACTS ABOUT COWS AND SOIL fertility

by o. E Reed, Professor of Dairy
A good cow will produce 5000
pounds of milk a year If this milk
is sold, 1927 worth Of fertility is sold
off the farm. To produce 5000 pounds
Of milk, this COW will eat about three
tons OF alfalfa hay, containing $3.50
worth Of fertilizer constituents. If fed
a grain ration of corn and oats she
viii eat about 1850 pounds of corn
and 100 pounds of oats, containing
1924 worth of fertilizer. Thus, by

The increased population has caused
demand for dairy products. Grain
and hay have been purchased from
the west and fed 10 these cows, and
in this way the fertility OF the west
ern soils has been and is now being
used to build up The soils of the east
ern states.
That dairying is adapted to high
priced lands, is also shown by illus
tration from the European countries.

feeding this grain to the COW and
selling the milk, the saving of fertil-
ity would be 1854 minus S6.27. which
equals $29-17. If this cow made 300
pounds of butter from his 5000
pounds of milk and the butter was
sold from the farm, there would be
a greater saving Of fertility. The
saving in this case would be 1854
minus 8 cents, which equals 1885.
In some of the eastern states the
land became so unproductive as a
result of grain farming that the farm
ers left their farms and came west
in search Of new soils During the
more recent years, the attention OF
farmers has been turned to these de
serted farms and some of them are
yielding large crops. This change
from an unproductive to a productive
state has been brought about largely
through the use of the dairy cow

peer into her face in an insulting
manner. He did this several times.
and It was plain to be seen that the

the attentions that the fellow was be-
slowing on her, for in fact. he was
forcing himself upon her. She did
not make any outcry, evidently not
desiring the publicity that might fol-
