What we need is to have three cam

ourselves for better methods in order
to make a better product, and another
among the consumers to help them
realize what dairy products are really
worth.
1t is UP to the dairymen to educate

DAlRYING ON GENERAL FARM

It must be combined with the growth

INFERTlLE EGGS IN DEMAND
Absolutely No Necessity for Keeping
BOOSTERS With Hens After

pertinent Station)-
There Is absolutely no reason for
keeping the male birds with the laying
hens after the breeding season Is over.
Some people seem to think that the
rooster has to be with the hens In or
der to get eggs; this Is not true. On
the contrary. careful experiments have
proven that flock of laying hens will
actually produce more eggs without
the male birds running with them.
Infertile eggs are always in demand.
for they will stand shipping, keep In
hot weather and bring top prices on
the market. It is also q mistaken idea
that fertile eggs have to be In an In
cubator before the germ grows and
develops. The growth will take place.

PROPER HENS FOR MATCHING
Select Those Which Have Proved Good
Mothers and One Which Has Just
Commenced to Sit.
(By ELIZABETH PUTNAM.)

II hens are used for Matching, select
where possible, those which have
proved good mothers. AS rule this
maternal ability will prove the same
from year to year, and those which
have deserted or broken eggs careless
ly will in all probability prove unfaith-
full to the end. If hen has already
been broody for a week or two, she
may grow tired before the eggs hatch.
Choose preferably one that has just
commenced to sit.
Fill the corners of her box with road
dust or ashes. Lay in a heavy sheet
Of paper saturated with kerosene. Add
more dust or ashes, and lastly straw
sprinkled with insect powder. Give
her the eggs at night. It is sometimes
advisable to throw an old piece Of car
pet over the nest for day or so until
she Is fully settled.
Keep food, grit, water and dust bath
where she can have access to them
daily, but watch that she does not
leave her nest for more than half an
hour at time unless the weather Is
very warm.
The shipping Of day-old chicks has
come to be quite business. AS they
need not feed for the first 48 hours
this plan Ia feasible and those having
no facilities for Matching and yet de-
string well bred chicks are glad to
avail themselves Of the opportunity,
the usual price being about ten cents
each.
The average brooder will safely
handle just about half the number OF
chicks for which 1t is claimed to be-
made. Crowding is almost certain 10
bring dire results. Be chary of the
homemade brooder with lantern heat.
There is danger of asphyxiation unless
1t Is properly constructed.
Gull out the scrubs and improbable
members of the flock. Breed up con-
tinually. Feed well and In variety.
Supply grit and oyster shell, and re-
member that clean water Is a neces-
sity. Keep the fowls comfortable and
free from vermin. And then IL they are
not profitable, do not rest satisfied un-
til you have hunted out the reason
for there surely Is one.

Shoot one or two hawks and hang

DAIRY
DAIRYMEN MUST MOVE QUICK
Three Things Menace Industry: Inef
ficient Cow, Anticipated Methods
and Ignorance Of Public.

By EUGENE DAVENPORT. Illinois Az
ricultural College)
A good deal is going to happen In
dairying within the next 25 years.
Dairy husbandry represents the most
intensive form of agriculture practised
on this side Of the water. We have
been so busy about other things that
we have not yet settled down to the
development of the industry in this
country. l think the individual dairy
man has his attention too exclusively
on his personal affairs, and too little
upon the industry he represents. When
l see a man advocating a system Of
buying cows instead of feeding them I
know that he Is looking at it purely
from the individual standpoint. He
knows, or ought to know that no
business can thrive on that basis.
What you need to do and what we
all need to do-and do 1t quickly-is to
attend to those things that will es-
tablish the dairy business as whole
upon solid basis.
There are three things that today
menace the prosperity of the dairy
business: First, the inefficient cow
