Feeding Flavor In EGGS.

The question of feeding flavor into
eggs was practically settled some
years ago by Prof f. e. Emery of the
North Carolina experiment station,
who tried feeding onions to hens.
with the result that the eggs of all
those which ate the onions showed a
more or less distinct flavor. There
fore, 1t appears that to get fine flaw
ored eggs 1t is necessary to restrict
runs enough so that no considerable
amount of the food can be of such a
character as to yield ill-favor eggs.

LESSONS FROM THE DRouTH
Stronger Emphasis Than Usual Is Laid
on Importance of Preparation
of Good Seed Beds.

A member of the crop production of
the University of Illinois reports that
the results as seen in crops this year
seem to emphasize stronger than usual
the Importance of good tilIage They
have shown also how important it is
in a year like the present to prepare
good seed beds for the grain; that the
beds should be well packed, and soil
on top loose, and a mulch on the very
