Grand Junction, Colo.-W. T. Cos

day obtained an injunction against
the state of Utah and the United
States government to prevent the dip
ping of his $4,000 head of sheep The
final decision may affect many sheep
men.
When the sheep were driven from
Mesa into Grand county Utah, Cos
len was notified that he would be re-
quired to dip them in accordance with
the new Utah law. He refused and ap-
peared before the Utah board of sheep
commissioners and the federal inspec-
tors in Salt Lake to protest. His pro
test was overruled and three inspec-
tors were sent to Thompson, near the
Colorado line, with orders to swear In
as many deputies as might be neces
sary to use forcible means to dip the
sheep.

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

Bear in mind in breeding horses

The drafter can make more money

than the light horse can by his greater
speed on the road.
Nowadays farmers are awakening to
the fact that it takes strong horses to
do good work on the farm.
