EGGS CHEAP In CHINA

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears an editorial on the
Chinese egg supply containing the fol
lowing interesting facts:
Fifteen years ago the price of eggs
in the Province of Shantung, China,
was dollar for 900 eggs. Now the
price has risen to a dollar for 800 eggs.
Twenty-seven million eggs were ex-
ported from this province in 1913, most
Of which went to England.
"Few Chinese poultry raisers possess
more than dozen or, so hens. They
hatch most of their chickens in earthen-
ware incubators which are heated by
the fires which warm the living rooms
and the beds thus all the heat is saved.
We have the word of our consul at
Chefoo that old women frequently in
cubate eggs by carrying them strapped
about their waists under their outer
garments. This is carrying economy
to the limit, it would seem. Most Chi.
nese families are too poor to eat eggs
even at the low prices mentioned, anC
therefore the entire product, except
that portion used for Matching, is sold.
On the average, ten Chinese eggs
weigh pound. "

ARTIFICIAL FISH MATCHING

Uncle Sam believes in artificial fish
Matching. Four billion food and game
fish were propagated and distributed by
the fish cultural stations of the bureau
of fisheries, department of commerce,
in the fiscal year recently closed. This
number surpasses all records, and is a
promise of even greater accomplish
ments. The steady growth of the popu-
lation of the United Stotes and the up
ward trend of prices of many other
foods, combine to increase the demand
for food fish, which the federal govern
ment is preparing to do its utmost to
satisfy.
Figures dealing with the propagation
of fish in the United States under fed
eral management run into the tens of
millions, hundreds of millions and bill
lions. The number of fish propagated
and distributed last year surpasses all
records, we are told while even greater
accomplishments are promised for the
future. In round figures 1000, 900, 900
food and game fish were propagated
and distributed by the fish cultural sta
tions during the twelve months ended
on June 80. Of these 300,000,000 re
presented the migratory food fish Of
the Atlantic coast streams, 1000, 900,
900 the commercial fish of the Great
Lakes, 2,25O, 100000 the important food
fish Of the North Atlantic coast, more
than 200, 600, 600 the salmon of the Pa
cific seaboard, and the remainder fish
Of minor interior waters. Now let the
government be provided with legisla-
ton to stop the destruction Of the fish
by the long stake or pound nets at the
months of the rivers and thus give the
fish chance and all will be well.

REDUCING THE COST OF BEEF

Silage will be one of the greatest fac
tors in the future in reducing the cost
of producing beef, according to A. A.
Burger, an Iowa agriculturalist, and
only within the last few years have we
found that silage was necessary for
the ration of the beef animal. Mr..
Burger says:
''The best feeders that we have are
now feeding silage to their fattening
cattle. At the Indiana station an ex-
pertinent including ration of 16 pounds
of shelled corn, pounds Of cotton seed
meal and 80 pounds Of silage was com
pared with a grain ration containing 10
pounds of clover, but no silage. The
price per steer was respectfully: $21. so
for tn e full feed of silage. $3.50 for
the half feed of silage, and S12. 70 for
the lot receiving no silage. And the
returns per bushels of corn fed in the
same order were: 81 cents, 81 cents and
70 cents. In the feeding of silage to
beef animals, it must be remembered
that it is rather bulky and hence must
be fed in largest amounts during the
early part of the feeding period and
the amount gradually decreased as the
cattle reach market condition.
"Many feeders feed silage to all
classes of live stock. Ii fed in proper
amounts there can be no danger when
the silage is properly preserved. Often
times corn is put into the silo rather
dry and in many cases the good fodder
snot properly distributed nor properly
stamped. 1t is impossible to make good
silage even out of the dryest fodder by
adding water. Cases have come to
our observation recently where even
the corn fodder corn which was left
standing in the shock during the winter
was run through the silo cutter and
with about three times its weight of
water added placed in the silo, with
very satisfactory results. 1t is doubt
full whether such practice would be pro
ftable, but it indicates the possibilities
in producing good silage and it shows
the feeding value of our corn crop
when so handled.

BOYS PIG CLUB

Unaccountable as it may seem, New
Castle County has been taking back
ward steps in the production Of swine.
We have not the class of hogs in this
county that we had ten years ago, and
in spite Of high prices that are being
paid for pork, the number Of swine
raised is gradually decreasing Even
those farmers who in former years,
salted down two or three barrels of pork
for home use, now go to the local meat
market or grocery store and buy at an
.exhorbitant price the meat that they
could have raised at home-a large por-
ton Of it on food that must otherwise
go to waste.
In order to help overcome this con-
dition, the Extension Department of
Delaware College contemplates the es-
tablishment Of boys pig clubs through
out the county. The boys buy their own
pigs, or get their fathers to give them
to them, refunding the purchase price
when the grown hog or her offspring is
sold. The boys will be given scientific
and practical suggestions in feeding
their pigs, both as regards grain rations
and successive pasture crops. The first
and second prize winners Of each club
will receive a pure-bred (weanling)
sow-pig Of popular breed. All boys in
New Castle County, between the ages
of 10 and II years are eligible. County
Agricultural Agent, L. H. Cooch,
Cooch's Bridge, will be glad to hear at
once from any boy who wishes to belong
to a pig club.

OUTSIDE HELP WILL MAKE orr
BREAK THE CHRISTMAS

Denver, COL, Dec. PA year ago
the Christmas spirit reigned in the
tent colonies of Southern Colorado,
where thousands of striking coal
miners and their children were shell
tered. Official representatives of
Santa Claus, in jingling sleighs laden
with toys and other Christmas cheer,
visited every colony in the strike
zone. Not family was forgotten:
not child failed to get something
from the thousands of gifts the union
Santa Claus provided.
This year Xmas threatens to be a
cherries day in many of the tent
homes. The great strike, on which
the coal miners had pinned their
hopes, has been lost. The men, long
without work, are penniless. The
United Mine Workers union, facing
tremendous drain on its treasury by
the new strike in Ohio, is without
money to care for the little ones in

ct may be that the conditions
which have resulted in lesser num-
Der of licenses will also result in a
greater number of divorces. People
who are married seem to drift apart
more readily in hard times. War,
too, has that effect.
about the time the Spanish
American war broke out a war vet
eran pointed out to me that war
means lot of divorce in the coun-
tries involved. Men often take it as
an excuse to shirk domestic respon-

and if they aren't killed, simply do
not come back to their families. But
we will not know just how much in
