Among the means Of producing first
class market eggs none is more i'm
portant or so faT-reaching as the pro-
duction of infertiIe eggs. A very
large percentage of the loss which oc-
ours by the deterioration and spelling
of eggs during the hot months comes
from the appearance of the blood ring.
These blood rings mean just one thing
that the egg has been partly incu-
bated and the embryo has died. For
some reason that portion of the heart
which pumps the blood away from the
heart beats a little longer than the por-
ton which brings the blood back. The
result is that when the embryo dies
the blood settles at the extremities Of
the network of veins and leaves a
more or less perfect pink ring.
Now if the male birds were kept
away from the laying flocks there
would be no blood rings. 1t has been
found by experiments carried on in
Kansas by Investigators from the
Bureau of Animal Industry at Wash
ington, that AZ per cent, or nearly half,
OF the total loss in market eggs during
the hot months was eliminated when
male birds were removed from the
flock. It was further found by these
same observations that where the
male birds were kept from the laying
fIocks the eggs, of good size and
naturally clean, collected twice a day
put in a cave cellar that had a tenn
perature of about so degrees, mar
keted twice a week, and protected
from the sun on the way to town
that 81 per cent of these eggs were
tested out by an expert Gambler as
first class eggs. This means that by
taking these pains the farmer csI

lady teacher in a South London
council school was recently giving a
natural history lesson TO a junior
class. In the course of it she gave
some information about the heron,
and at the end she asked the children,
as a simple home lesson, to write
down what they knew OF the bird
Only one member Of her class, she
says, was able apparently to set down
her ideas in writing, for next morning
only one essay was handed in
And this one essay, written by q

engine and a pump to irrigate 40 acres
where the lift is 70 feet would prob
ably not exceed $500, or about $3.50
per acre. The cost of irrigating with
such a plant would be approximately
five cents an acre-foot per foot of lift,
or for q 75-foot lift the cost would be
about 1915 an acre. And if you
were growing alfalfa, which would re-
quire about two acre-feet, the cost OF
watering it would be approximately
$3.50 an acre for the year. In this
system of irrigation the farmer has
absolute control of the water rights
and he can put on the amount Of wates
needed at the proper time, for there
is practically no variation from year
to year in the underfIow. In Colorado
on the large projects the water rights
cost not less than $50 per acre and
per cent interest on this amounts to
| 81 per acre per year and then the cost
Of the water used must be added,
which brings the cost up to about the
same as for pumping. However, the
| duty of the pumped water Is much
greater than that handled bT gravity,
for the losses due to seepage are small
and the clear pumped water does not
seal up the pores in the soil like
water carrying suspended matter.

COLORED UMPIRE

A few years ago Texas boasted of
having the best If not the only. we'll
organized league of negro ball tossers.
The cities which were members OF
this unique organization were prac-
tically the same as those which COM
Irised the Texas State League, and
games were played at the parks of
this league.
In this negro league were stars at
every turn OF the game itself, while
each city possessed enthusiasts who
never failed to amnse the mixed
crowds with their outbursts of enthu-
lasm or disgust. Such remarks as
''he fiew-ew-ei OUT dat boy shHah
enough cain put de pine to de apple"
.'he hit TO fou' base Dagger" were
always in evidence with sufficiently
demonstrative gesticulations to anuse
one who had just lost his last dollar
or best friend.
On the different teams were coach
trs with sayings which could stand
comparison with those of the COME
dams of the American league, and
stars of playing ability who, accord
ing to the negro folk OF Texas, were
inferior in no way to Cobb, Lajoie,
Speaker, Wood or Milan.
OF course, the different stars were
big drawing cards, but this organia-
tion had the distinction of having an
umpire on its, payroll who was big
