In fact the Virginia capital came
nowhere near the high record, the
Temperature here for the day being
90. while Raleigh, Montgomery and
Louisville showed up with SO. and a
number of cities gave temperatures
higher than Richmond.
But the Inhabitants sweltered just
the same, II was steady, unrelent-
ing heat, with excessive humidity and
people who had to keep on the move
suffered more than the recent day,
when the mercury registered 100.
There were tantalizing promises Of a
thunder shower TO relieve the suffer
ing. but the shower must have gotten
sidetracked on the way, SO the popu-
lation perspired and grumbled aud re-

BENEFIT OF CROP ROTATION
When Proper Tlllage Methods Are
Followed Crops viii Suffer Less
From Dry Weather.

CBy r. c. DONEGHUE. Professor OF
Agronomy. North Dakota Agricultural
College)
While all OF the causes OF low
yields of the small grains cannot he
removed, practically all that are of
immediate Importance can be con-
trolled in large measure by a well
planned system of crop rotation.
When crops are grown In rotation and
proper tillage methods are followed,
they will suffer less from dry weather
than when they are grown ,continu-
ously Crop rotation Is usually of
more Importance than the methods Of
tillage used In this respect, although
both are important In most rotations
more roughage is produced than can
be disposed Of by the work stock on
the farm. Hence more animals must
be kept and more manure produced
to return to the land to keep up the
supply of active organic matter.

voted 10 this purpose. A work bench
can be fitted up and provision made

abundance of light in the work shop
is essential to good work, and as
much of the repair work will be done
during dark and cloudy weather, the
windows should be numerous and SO

OF the gasoline engine 10 farm work
The gasoline engine Is a very handy
power and is deserving Of widespread
popularity. 1t will fill many inches or
a good sized farm and very few Of
US have begun to know It's value.
1t must be well cared for and kept
well housed. for there are certain
condition under which 1t operates that
are simple but memorable. 1t will
balk quicker than \ mule II the con-
ditions are not right.
Any farmer can get valuable assist
~nce from gasoline engine II he
will give it proper care.
Its care Is very simple. First comes
protection from the weather. A tar
paulip is a very good cover for an en-
CINE that Is kept out-ot duors, and even
one housed is better II kept covered
when 1t is not in use. Live batteries
are necessary. Electricity lie the spark
of life to gasoline motor.
A clean spark plug is necessary at
the other end of the battery wire. The
mixture of gasoline and air must be
just right for the most effective work
at the greatest economy OF power,
although the motor will work and
waste gasoline.
Adjustments Of this kind are simple
to learn and should be understood by
the man who has charge of the engine.
A frequent cause of trouble Is the
failure to strain the gasoline when
filling the tank. Pay but little atten-
ton to men who claim that their gaso.
line is absolutely clean, or the result
will be disastrous.
Strain the gasoline through a
channels or finely meshed strainer.
Good lubricating oil Is another i'm
portant essential. No gasoline-engino
can give its best service unless 1t 10
properly cared for and housed.

Testing Eggs.

substantially increased by establishing
q private trade in eggs OF rood quality
with hotels, restaurants, etc., in towns
and cities.
A good homemade egg tester or
Gambler can be made from a large
shoe box, or any box that Is large
enough to go over a lamp, by remov-
Ing an end and cutting hole little
larger than the size OF quarter in
the side Of the box, so that when 1t
Ii set over common kerosene lamp
the hole will be opposite the blaze.
A hole the size of silver dollar should
be cut in the top OF the box to allow
the heat to escape.
A fresh egg held at the hole oppo-
site the blaze of the lamp will show
perfectly clear through the shell. A
stale or bad egg will show dark spots.
This egg tester may be used with
excellent results In determining
whether eggs are fertile or infertile.
Many eggs that are laid in late winter
and early spring are infertile. For
this reason it is advisable. when set
ting time comes, to set several hens at
the same time. After the eggs have
been under the hen for seven days
they should be tested to see whether
they are fertile or infertile. Infertile
eggs should be removed and used at
home in cooking. for they are just as
good as others, and the fertile eggs
