TESTING FERTILITY or EGGS
tario Station by Removing
Males From the Hens.

The Ontario experiment station
made a series CT experiments in test
ing fertility of eggs, which are in
teresting. They separated ten laying
hens from the male and placed the
eggs in the incubator each day to test
them.
During the first four days 20 ger
cent. proved fetile, fifth day 81 per
cent, sixth day so per cent, eighth
day IL per cent, ninth day 2 per cent
and tenth day all were infertile. Then
they put a male with six laying hens
which had not been with a male, and
tested the eggs in the same way.
They found 80 per cent. fertile on the
third day, AZ per cent. on the fourth
day, and fifth day so per cent, sixth
day 60 per cent, seventh day 60 per
cent, eighth day IS per cent, ninth
day 20 per cent. and tenth day "A
per cent. 1t would seem that
nearly three-fourths of the eggs
are fertile four days after the male
is taken away, or a week after the
male RAJ put In. There would prob
ably be some difference in the males,
however, and number of hens might
have considerable influence.

HAD PREMONlTlon OF DEATH

John Hueselmans, superintendent
Of a lumber yard in Harrison, N. j.,
started home after a day of intense
worry through fear eff impending dis
aster. His ~premonition caused several
OF the workmen to deride him. John
Bissell of Newark led in the SOOTHING.
AS Hueselmans was passing q 40
foot-high pile of heavy timbers Bissell,
who was at work on top, uttered a
warning cry and leaped to the ground.
As he did so the great bulk of lumber
swayed and toppled over. Hueselmans
was buried beneath the mass and was
Instantly killed. Bissell, by his leap,
avoided the crumbling pile and landed
Just beyond the timbers. The fall,
however, resulted in his receiving nu-
merous fractures and he was removed
in a critical condition to St. Michael's
hospital.
A crowded trolley car was passing
the lumber yard at the time. The pas
sengers, many Of them workmen on
their way home, rushed to the spot
and began moving the timbers. 1t was
half an hour before Hueselmans'
mangled body was e~xtricated.

Poor bird! For who could tell what
trouble had been hers?
The catbird has rightly been called
the northern mocking-bird; and SO 1t
might well be, for its size, shape and
coloring SO nearly resemble it's more
gifted southern cousin that the name
well applies. Having never heard the
mocking-bird, l cannot judge as to
musical ability; but the catbird, while
a gifted musician and mimic, is not
the polyglot that the mocker is. But
if anyone doubts the musical ability
Of the catbird, just let him get out
early on some May morning, and all
his former doubts will be at rest.
Although the catbird sometimes
does considerable harm by destroying
small fruits and berries, the bird can
not be considered injurious. On the
contrary, in most parts Of the country
it does far more good than harm.
Outside of the small fruits, which con-
sist mostly of wild berries in our
eastern states, the catbird feeds upon
destructive insects.

TO RAISE
Crop Fills Best in a Rather Cool
Season.
Makes Good Feed for Almost All
Animals and Has Nutritive Ratio
OF Near One to Seven-Helps
Greatly in Kidding of Weeds.
(By A. ]. LEGG.l


BuckWheat is a crop that can be
sown any time after the danger from
frost is over up to about the first Of
August, with reasonable success.
The buckwheat usually fills best in
a rather cool season and in localities
where midsummer is very hot it is
best to defer sowing the buckwheat
until late in the season so as to give
from 60 to 20 days for it to mature a
crop before frost.
Sixty days is sufficient for a crop to
make itself usually.
The grain makes a good feed for al
most ali animals and it has a nutritive
ratio OF near n to seven, so it is
a fattoning grain.
The bloom Of the buckwheat plant
produces much nectar and there will
usually be plenty of bees on hand
during the blooming season to gather
the nectar.
In some localities in the south,
Suckwheat has largely superseded
the oat crop. Often it Is sown after
wheat and thus the farmer is enabled
to reap two crops from a field in one
season instead CT allowing his stub
BILE to grow up to weeds after har-
vest.
The buckwheat crop is a great help
in Kidding the land of weeds as 1t is
a rapid grower and keeps the weeds
back.
If the wheat stubble is turned and
sowed to buckwheat and clover there
is not much chance for the weeds to
mature seeds.
The soil should be plowed and let
settle for two or three weeks before
the buckwheat is sown.
Drill in from three pecks to a bush
ell of seed with from 125 to $50 pounds
of good grade acid phosphate per
aCre with a wheat drill.
1t is a good plan to SOW timothy
and clover with the buckwheat.
Put the timothy seed in the grass
seeder box and mix the clover seed
with the fertilizer.
The clover seed Is thus drilled in
rows and a little below the general
surface of the ground. This protects
the clover from the winter freezing
and the soil is in better condition
to grow the grass than if it had
been sown on the wheat fields In the
spring.

Measles is very common with small

very rapidly when once there is an
outbreak In the herd. Some of its
