MILLsToNEs ON THE INCREASE
Large Increase In Production In 1912

1t is generally supposed that the
use Of millstones is becoming less
and less each year because of the in
PRODUCTION of other grinding machin
cry, but on the contrary, according
to figures, made public by the United
States Geological Survey, the value
of the production of millstones, burr
stones, chasers, and drag stones IN
this country in 1912, amounting to
$71,414 was the largest since 1888,
when it amounted to sS1 900, and was
an increase of s3l,345 over the figures
for 1911. The replacement of the
mill stones, 1t was assumed, would
be gradual and the value Of mill
stones would therefore show steady
falling off. This, however, has not
been the case. From a maximum val
lie of 100000 in 1880 the value fell
to 100000 in 1887; from $4,000 in
1888 the value declined rapidly to
$16,5S7 in 1891; in the following year
there was a rise in value 10 s23,417,
followed by marked decline until
the lowest value ever reported, $751;
SS7, was reached in 1894. Since that
year the values have risen and fall
en-. Millstones were produced in
1912 in Alabama, New York, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
The output in New York was between
two and three times that or 1911, and
this state regained its LEAD in the
milestone industry in the United
States.

BOOSTERS LOW
Err EGG YIELD
Interesting Tests Made at New York
Experiment Station on Presence
OF Males In Flock

The belief used to be general many
years ago that hens would not lay
without the presence of male bird
in the flock. And even today there
are a few people that contend the
male stimulates egg production to a
greater or less extent. Men who
have raised poultry for years still
cling to this notion and persist in
keeping a lot OF males hanging about
where only eggs are wanted.
The New York experiment station
made up four pens Of pullets, two
consisting Of pure bred stock and
two of mixed stock. With one pen of
each class cockerels were kept while
with the others none were allowed.
The cockerels were put with the two
pens two months before any began
laying. Some pullets in each of the
two pens in which no cockerels we're
put began laying a month before any
in the two containing cockerels. The
fowls were Of the Asiatic breeds and
rather persistent sitters. No attempt
was made to discourage any of the
hens from sitting and there seemed
to be no difference in the relative
number of sitters in the contrssted
pens. OF the cross bred pullet the
lot without males laid better through.
out the season and also during the
best egg season. OF the other lot
the one without rlales began laying
earlier and did better than the one
with males during the first par. o:
the season, but It fell slightly behind
for the latter months, though during
that period they kept even with he
lot which was accompanied by males.
It was thought that the vice Of feath-
err eating which broke out in this pen
had much to do with the falling off
in egg production
From these experiments 1t would
seem that the presence Of males has
a detrimental influence upon the egg
yield. This is also the theory ad.
vanced by many in recent years and
it is now pretty generally accepted
by prominent egg farmers.

Never Had EN-

A teacher had been telling her class
that once on time worms had be-
come so numerous that they destroy
ed the crops, and it was necessary TO
import the English sparrow to exter-
inmate them; that the sparrows null
tiplied very fast, and they were fast
driving away our native birds, and
doing as much harm as the worms
Johnny was apparently very mat
tentive and the teacher, thinking to
catch him mapping, asked, Johnny
which is worse to have worms or
sparrows?
Johnny hesitated n minute, and
then replied. dunno, never had
sparrows.
