ton from the Dairy Department Of
the Missouri College of Agriculture.
The Dairy Department furnishes
plans free tor the forms to be used in
building concrete silos. Any man
handy with tools can build the forms
after the plans furnished by the Dairy
Department and after the silo is COM
pleted the forms may be rented or
sold to his neighbors for further use.
After person has built the forms
and has made the excavation and put
in the foundation for his silo the
Dairy Department will send man
who will help start the work on the
silo provided he is not assisting some
one else at that particular time.
This man will oversee the setting up
of the forms and the proper mixing
of the concrete. He will also see
that the reinforcement is properly
placed and will show the farmer how
to raise the forms. He will stay on
the job until the work is progressing
! satisfactorily. A number of farmers
had the services of this man during
the building season of 1912 and sew.
eral have already called for his SER
vices this season. They find that
considerable time is gained wher
they are able to call on this man fol
advice at a time when they are an
xious to rush the work along, and be-
cause Of lack Of experience do no
know just how to proceed. Thos,
receiving his services are required tt
pay his necessary travelling expense

even longer when subjected to a
temperature which would spoil a
fertile egg in twenty-four hours.
To illustrate this fact a cake was
recently baked at this Experiment
Station, in the making Of which
infertile eggs were used that had
been in an incubator for fourteen
days, subjected to a temperature Of
1O3 to 104 degrees. The cake was
eaten with relish by dozen men,
who pronounced it first class in
every respect.
When the farmers OF the state get to
producing infertile eggs during the
summer months, they will, as a result
eventually get a much higher price
for their eggs. Until they do this,
there is not much hope for an i'm
provement in prices.--Missouri State

To Help Farmers Build Silos.

A large number of silos were built
in 1912 and interest in silo building
is greater this season than it ever has
been. The drought Of 1911 taught a
lesson and when one strikes Missouri
again a great many farmers will be
prepared to save their corn crop by
putting it up in silos.
The farmers who build concrete
silos may get assistance and informa.

Missouri Notes.
TOO LATE, TOO LATE! !

Says the Worth Tribune: "It is
something unusual to hear little
babe crying anywhere along High
Street, for the reason, we ,are sorry
to say, there are none. It's a sad
story to tell, the absence of little tots,
but it is a matter now beyond the
power OF most of the inhabitants to
remedy-another demonstration Of
the fact that procrastination is the
thief Of time"
II you want to Danish the chigger
from your lawn, it's simple enough
matter, according to Leonard Haus-
man, state entomologist. Just spray
the lawn with a strong solution of
soapsuds, or scatter powered sulphur
in the grass, and the name ating pests
will take to the tall timber.
Says the Salisbury Press-Spectator :
"Triplen has a new speed ordinance.
Eight miles an hour is the limit.
The one consolation the speedists
will have is that it will take less than
five minutes to 60 through town, at
that"
The Stanberry Owl-Headlight tells
OF a citizen who returned home late
at night, fell over the baby carriage
and exclaimed angrily: "You run
across these damn little Fords every
where you go!"
"Some mems mustaches," reflects
the Miller correspondent of the
Mount Vernon Chieftain, 'look like
coffee percolators." Uh huh. And
others look like soup strainers.

priateness of delivering lecture or

Swat The Rooster!

"Swat the Rooster" should be the
motto of every Missouri poultry
raiser for the month of June. In fact
conditions are such that the Cover
nor would be fully warranted in
issuing proclamation designating
the first day of June as "Rooster
Day." and urging the farmers and
poultry raisers of the State on that
day to kill, sell or separate the
roosters from their hocks.
Absolutely millions OF dollars
worth of Missouri market eggs are
spoiled every summer because they
are fertile, and it is the Missouri
farmers and poultry raisers who are
losing this tremendous sum each
year. The eastern egg buyers have
discovered by years of experience
that one out of every five eggs COM
ing from this State is bad egg, and
make the price to US and our egg
buyers accordingly. So it is the
producer who loses after all.
After the Matching season is owe,
there is no longer any reasonable
excuse for keeping the males with
the laying hens. Some people
imagine that the hens lay more egg.
it the ruosters are allowed to run with
them. This is a mistake. On the
contrary, careful experiments have
shown that flock of hens will actual
ly lay more eggs if the males are no
allowed with them.
Because the deterioration which
takes place in an egg is not easil,
visible to the naked eye, as it is il
fruits, vegetables, ETC., people de-
not re alze tha. it is one of the mos
perishable of all food products
This is especially true of the fertil
egg. A fertile egg kept in warn
room will become unfit for eatin
purposes almost as quickly as milk.
1t is a mistaken idea that a fertil
egg has to be in an incubator o
under a hen in order for the germ
to begin to develop. A very larg
per cent OF the eggs candled ou
every summer by car-lot shipper
and the wholesale egg dealers ar
fertile eggs in which the germ ha
started to develop and then die
when subjected to lower tempera
ture, thus causing decay to set in

The Chautauqua will soon be here.
A great program has been arranged.
1t is not built for any one set of peo-
pie, but for everybody. Rich and
poor, high and low, young and old
will find in it much that will please
them greatly.
The famous Venetian Guards
Band, the Dollie Mcdonnell Com
pany, the Anita Singing Orchestra
and the Drexler-Fox Company will
furnish the music. 1t will be real
musical festival from beginning to
end.
The Venetian Guards Band is a
splendid organization of twenty play
ers, all Italians. They have given
their lives to music and will furnish
a rich treat to Chautauqua goers.
All the glorious melodies of sunny
Italy, set forth in the temperament of
Italian artists, will make this feature
the musical event OF the season.
The Anita Singing Orchestra, ia
nous for songs in action the Dollie
Mcdonnell Company, with great var
iety and artistic effects; the Drexler-
Fox Company, clever musical novel
ty entertainers, and a Cartoonist-
piano combination will make up the
balance of musical program that
will stir the hearts of the people as
they have not been stirred before.
Among the speakers of note we
may mention Judge Lee S. Estelle Of
Omaha. This grand old man Of the
platform was a pioneer in juvenile
court work and tells a story OF grip
ping heart interest.
Hon. w. l. Nolan, the humorist
statesman, who has made for him
self a secure place on the platform.
He is one of the lawmakers of Min
nesota and live wire. DR.. Fred
erick Hopkins Of Chicago, who made
himself famous by his heroic work
against the follcs Of the fashionable
set. will be here. He is a great
orator and national force.
One OF the big features will be the
illustrated lecture on Asiatic travel BY
Sumner X. Vinton. Beautifully COL
ored slides and motion pictures will
: be used extensively in showing OBJ
ects of chief concern IN the land of
the pagodas. This is very interest,"
ing and highly educational lecture
and will be the next thing to trip
to the orient. There is nothing finer
S in all the realm of travelogues.
= Then there is Halwood K. Man
E love, the humorous entertainer who
D impersonates the curious and inter-

Manlove uses grease paint, wigs and

There is ample provision made for
the entertainment of the children. A

OF this feature, and the Seton Indian
work will be used. The classic In.

suit.
