USE C0RNSTALKS
FOR FERTILIZER
Besides Nitrogen Humus Is Fur
nished TO Improve Water
Holding Capacity of Soil.

Cornstalks are valuable as a fer
tilizer and should be left on the field
after cutting. The nitrogen which an
acre of stalks contains would cost at
least four dollars and a half II bought
in the form Of commercial fertilizers.
says Il. @. Schafer OF the agronomy de-
partment at the Kansas Agricultural
college When stalks are burned as
is often the case, all nitrogen Is lost.
Besides the nitrogen the stalks sup
ply the soil with humus, which Inn.
proves the water-holding capacity and
furnishes food for certain beneficial
bacteria.
Many persons believe that chinch
bugs winter on the cornstalks. Some
do go into winter quarters there, but
due to the poor protection which the
stalks afford a very small per cent.
II any, survive the winter, according
to George A. Dean OF the entomology
department
The stalks should be cut in early
spring with stalk cutter or disk.
II a disk is used, the field should be
disked both ways. This cuts the
stalks and at the same time leaves a
good mulch. which prevents rapid
evaporation of the soil moisture.

should be dated, and any other memo
randa as to the hen should be mark
ed on them, and the eggs then placed
in wooden boxes packed loosely in
wheat bran
The eggs should be kept In tenn
perature of between 55 and 65 de-
grees. and must be turned partly over
every day. The eggs should always be
placed in the bran in a slanting posi-
ton, with the little end down.
OF course eggs should be set as
early as possible. and never after they
are three weeks old. In fact II they
are set after they are two weeks old,
one is taking a risk.
If broken up, turkey hens win begin
to lay again in about two weeks, aud
some breeders take advantage Of this
by having an incubator ready when
the hens begin to lay. to take care of
any surplus eggs, as 1t is deemed bet
ter practice to use incubators for this
purpose than chicken hens.
If hens begin laying very early they
will often, particularly in warm eli
mates. produce two breeds during the
year, but late Matched turkeys seldom
do well. and late laying should not be
encouraged
If the eggs are to be Matched under
turkey hens, each hen should be given
from 16 to is eggs, according to size.
Never give hen more than she can
thoroughly cover. If, after setting
down, 1t is observed that some Of the
eggs are peeping out around the
edges. the number should be re-
duced.
We have never known turkeys to
be raised successfully in an artifcially
heated brooder. The young pouIts do
not seem to thrive well except when
under the mother hen. The turkey
hen searches for food for her young,
while the chicken hen must be fed.
The turkey hen, therefore, seems to
take better care of her polits tRAn a

prowsIness in Church.

Why bald heads nod in church, to
the great annoyance of ministers has
been discovered by Ralph Eyre OF
Osceola, Iowa,.a senior electrical engi-
neering student in the State univer-
sity. Mr.. Eyre has found the scien--
tific basis for the fact that bald headed
men are prone to fall asleep in church
and he has found the remedy for this
unfortunate fact. "a glaring light be-
fore the eycs Is sure to produce drow-
siness," Mr.. Eyre reasoned. Men with
bald heads and negligible eyebrows
are less protected from glaring lights
than those blessed with abundant hair.
Women who wear hats that shade.
their eyes have little difficulty keeping
awake. A little care in placing lights
in church will have all the differ
ence in the world. Exchange.
