The Insurance Question

State Superintendent Lewis says hail
insurance companies must hold their
operating expenses down to 40 per
cent. Of their receipts if they are
allowed to do business in the state
The expenses of all OF the Mutual Com
panies, with the exception of the
Mcpherson Hail Insurance Company,
were over 40 per cent. OF their receipts
and one, The Wichita Mutual Hale In
surance Company, was over 90 per
cent, which leaves very little with
which to pay losses. From a recent
article in the Topeka Daily Capital We
quote the following which the farmers
of Ellis county might read with profit

GARDEN CALENDAR.

A midWinter freeze has spoiled some
garden truck.
Onions and peas are only temporarily
Injured.
Early cabbage plants may be set out.
An early planting of beets can now
be made.
String beans may be tried now,
though it is little early perhaps.
April is the real gardening month.
MISCELLANEOUS TREE FACTS
Tuesday, April q, is Arbor Day.
Next to food, wood is the most use
fuI single product in the world.
The lumber industry stands fourth
among the great industries of the
United States.
Since every mile of railway uses $500
ties and there are over 200, 600 miles of
such roads in the United States it takes
millions of acres of timber to supply
one set of ties. Such q set has to be
replaced about every seven years.
The American people use the enorm-
Gus total of ZOO. 900, 600, 600 matches
every year.
Tree conservation is an important
national affair.
Trees improve climate and conserve
soil and mois ture.
They furnish shade for birds, and
birds are our best allies in destroying
insects.
Birds are scarce where trees are
scarce and abundant where trees are
abundant.
No one thing adds more to the beauty
OF town than we'll kept trees.

EGG RAIsERs CAN SAVE S45, 900, 900
ANNUALLY.

ANN OAIL1s
A recent Bulletin issued by the y. S
Department of Agriculture makes the
astonishing statement that the loss to
the farmers of the u. S. from bad
methods of producing and handling
eggs is estimated at S45, 900, 900 annual
~. Really now that is considerable
money! Let IA think a minute: If it
costs SO, 200 per mile to construct the
ordinary railroad that amount of money
would build railroad lengthwise of the
state Of Kansas eleven times. Or It
would build three modern battleships.
If invested in automobiles at $1,000
each it would purchase 80, 900 of them.
Assuming, for easy figuring, that
there are fifty states in the Union,
such an annual loss means 5000, 900 for
each state; further, Kansas has 105
counties which means an average ap-
proximate loss to each county Of $4,000
Considerable loss for Ellis County is it
not?
This Bulletin urges the adoption of
the following rules:
1. Keep the nests clean; provide
one nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.
8. Keep the eggs in a cool, dry
room or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least twice
week.
5. Sell, kill, or confne all male
birds as soon as the Matching season is
over.
Many other wonderful things are told
in this little tract: 1t discusses artificial
and natural incubation and brooding;
poultry houses and fixtures; feeding;
egg production; lice and mites; common
diseases and treatment; ard marketing.
Perhaps the subject of marketing is
less understood and more neglecte3
than any other phase Of the chicken
business. When man raises fancy
article he should demand price in pro
portion. This thing of taking nice
fresh eggs and dumping them in a case
or receptacle, with all other eggs that
come into country store, should be
stopped. Merchants are largely to
blame for this. Why not Mr.. Farmee
when selling eggs to your country mer
chant, or cash buyer, say Why not de
mand that the transaction be on a quail
ity basis7 Do you know that a case
Of large eggs is worth 13 per cent MOI e
than 8 case of small ones? This be-
longs to you if YOU will demand it.
Eggs should be sorted just as app es,
potatoes and other commodities are
sorted for the market, When tx ng
eggs to market they should be pro:ect-
ed from the sun. They should be de
hvered twice week, if possible. II
fertile eggs will Withstand mark etiug
