Missouri farmers lose about three
and Il half million dollars each year
from spolt eggs. This may mighty
lust as we'll be kept in their pockets.
Five pcr cent of the total number OF
eggs marketed have developing chicks
in them. Three per cent are rotten,
due to the fact that the young EN-
bryo in the fertile eggs die and de-
cav. This immense loss can be COM
pletely done away with by doing a
way or penning up all male birds as
soon as the Matching season is over.
An infertile egg will generally total
ly dry up before it will rot. The hens
will lay Just as well or even better
without the rooster being present.
At this time of the year when eggs
are cheap is good time to pack them
for higher winter prices. Select i'll
fertile, clean, sound eggs and place
in an earthcnware or wooden (never
metal) retainer that has been boiled
out. Take one part of water glass,
that can be purchased cheapely at any
drug store, and 10 or II parts of
water that has previously been boiled
for at least 20 minutes and allowed
to COOL mix these two liquids and
pour over eggs. One gallon of water
glass will preserve so dozen eggs. Be
sure to submerge all the eggs to at
least a depth of one-half inch, weight
them down to prevent floating, set the
retainer and contents in the coolest
and best ventilated place you can find.
Next winter take them out and wipe
them off with cloth and you won't
be able to tell them from fresh eggs.
AS the liquid evaporates and allows
the top layer of eggs to become ex-
posed, add more boiled water from
time to time.
II the eggs are clean when put in
the preventative, there will be practi-
calIy no change in any reasonable
time. If the eggs are dirty when

Red Top SOrrell

The large areas Of our fields that
are infested with the red topped sheep
so common in this county are mute
witnesses to the sourness of the soil,
the limpus paper test cOrroborates
their testimony in almost every case.
The bacteria that live on the roots of
our legumes won't work efficiently,
or not at all, in sour soil; the clovers
and other legumes won't grow rs they
should, and often fail to stand en-
tirely; and without these legumes on
our land every few years we can't
hope to build up our lands and in
crease their productivity. 1t is like
the House that Jack Built, or rather
the fertile fields we fail to build; we
can't afford to increase the fertility
by any method without legume grow
ing. Legumes won't grow without
the bacteria on their roots. These
bacteria won't work without the pres
ence of lime. Try some finely crush
ed limestone on part of your clover
land and see the results.

lege of Agriculture for new bulletin

Soy Beans

SOY Beans
At the Libcrtyville District Bureau
meeting held last Friday. Soy Beans
were the topic of discussion. 1t was
shown that soy bean hay was bout the
equal in feeding value, pound for
pound as alfalfa hay, almost twice
as valuable as clover hay. Just about
as good feed pound for pound as
bran for cows, horses and hogs and at
the same time they build up soil and
add fertility to our land while growing
on it. Some of the other advantages
of soy beans over COW peas are: Pro
duce one-third more seed, and also
hay to the acre on an average Stand
up better on all kinds of soil. Can
SOW earlier. Frost won't hurt so
readily. Seed twice as rich in protein
and 10 times as rich in oil. Seed not
attacked by weevil. Won't rot so
easily. Won't crack so bad in thresh-
ing. Hay easier to cure and will stand
more rain. Plant is more arougth
resistant and will also stand more
wet land. The pods all mature about
the same time and it makes better
hog pasture. The disadvantages of
soy beans are: That, the leaves and
seed both shatter bad if not handled
correctly. Gives no second growth.
Seed liable to heat. Need incubation
and require care not to plant too deep.
Best varieties are: The Mongrol,
medium green or yellow. Ito San is an
early one, about 100 days, and Mann
moth Yellow very late bean, matur-
ing in 140 to $50 days. Soy beans
make good mixture with corn or COW
peas.

the defiant statement of General Obre-

quoted as saying;
