FRESHNESS OF EGG
is NOT IMPORTANT
First Chicks Secured From Eggs
Allowed to Accumulate for
Several Days.

It has been known that in every
hatch some eggs hatch first. The
universal opinion, considered not an
opinion, but fact, has been that the
freshest eggs Matched earliest, but a
correspondent of the American Poul.
try Advocate states that he has found
just the contrary to be the case. He
trapnests the hens from whom he
secures the Matching eggs, stamps the
number of the hen laying each egg
upon the shell, and also stamps upon
them the date of putting into the in
cubator
Last season, a little before filling
the incubator, 1t occurred to him to
mark the eggs laid that day so as to
test out the theory of early Matching
The specially marked eggs received
exactly the same care as the others,
but the surprising thing was to find
that the early chicks came, not from
the marked eggs, but from the others,
and to cap the climax, the percentage
of eggs Matching from the last laid
eggs was far below that of the earlier
laid eggs. If the late Matched eggs
had been laid by hens deficient In
vitality, there would have been
reason for this, but the hens were all
tested breeders, and this explanation
could not hold. For a further test
eggs were dated and it was found
either that the date of laying made no
apparent difference, or that eggs laid
ten days or so before setting were
slightly more likely to hatch early
than the latest laid eggs.

SOIL FERTILITY IN
BRUSH AND WEEDS
Phosphorus Compound, a Most
Essential Element, Formed
by Their Decay.
fBY II. FL. SHEPARDl

Last summer a clump of elder
bushes growing near the walk was
cut away. One evening in the sum
mer, after shower had made the sol
moist our boys found something glow
ing at this point.
Through boyish curiosity they dug
up the glowing particles and found
them to be decayed masses of last
! summers elder stump. The stump
had died and returned to DUST" or
had been decomposed to earthly ele--
ments and compounds in one short
year.
This glowing substance in the elder
stump and in many other decompos-
ing woods, is of course a phosphorus
eompound-one of the most essential
things for the best soil fertility, and
one which is now being extensively
used in the commercial form as rock
phosphate
But there is good farm lesson in this
elder stump. If it gives up phosphorus
through decay, then it becomes a valu-
able fertilizer, one which we cannot
afford to burn up or throw away.
And if the elder bushes contain
phosphorus, other bushes and weeds
contain it. They also contain potash
and other needed elements for grow
ing good crops of feed and food
All farmers have noticed that an
old fence row when cleaned up and
plowed for crop is very fertile soil.
The reason for this Is that many diff
ferent bushes and weeds which grew
in this old fence row drew up phos-
phorus, potash, lime and many other
mineral elements from deep down in
the hard SOIL
Through the decay of the stumps
and roots of this wild growth these
valuable fertilizer elements and COM
pounds are left in the surface soil
for feeding the crops.
On many farms all weeds, bushes
and Wild growths are cut and burned !
when they are to be got rid of. To |
burn such things means to destroy |
much of their fertilizing value. The
better way is to plow the smaller |
growth under whenever possible, and |
to use the larger trash for filling in
needless bitches and gullies.
Here, covered with soil, they will |
decay and fill the soil with just such
compounds as the growing crops are
IN need of. And, besides, all weeds
md trash plowed under or used for
Hing gullies loosen up the soil for
better air penetration and for benefi-
,ial bacterium life and activity, thus
'endering a double service in making
he soil more fertile.
The farmer who maintains and in
,reases the fertility of the soil he
ends must use every means for CIV
ng back to the soil large amounts Of
waste vegetable matter.
This can be done most economically
y making weeds, brush and all man
ler Of trash contribute their share.

SECURE A SUITABLE SPRAYER

chase Pump Adapted to Needs
Main Thing Is Force.

There are hundreds of different
sprayers and spraying pump types on
the market. Any man from the one
who owns half dozen fruit trees in
his back yard to the owner of a thou
sand acres of bearing trees can find a
sprayer suited to his needs. The main
thing is to get one that will throw the
into the crevices of the bark and the
openings between the leaves. If you
need more hose rods, towers and more
powerful pumps in order to do this,
why, then, it will pay you to get them.
And there is another thing. No man
pretends to know all there is about
spraying. Every year some new dis
covery is made Some of these just
about revolutionize spraying as to GER
tain insects or certain trees. The best
method in 1914 may be out of date by
the spring of 1915. The only thing to
do is to keep informed by reading and
by keeping in touch with the expert
ment station in your state. Every
little while some fellow brings out a
shorter and better way of spraying
that saves a lot of time and money.
You want to keep up with these if you
can. for the whole science of insect
fighting is changing fast.
The chemical companies that make
spraying compounds can help you keep
in touch. So can the United States de-
partment of agriculture and your state

Study all your tree enemies and get
we'll enough acquainted with them
that you know them when you see
them and know about when to look
for them. This thing of pulling out
the sprayer and starting in "hit or
miss" is not likely to be worth what
it costs. Don't try to fight tree ene-
mics unless you know what they are
and when the spraying should be
done.
There are some of these enemies
that can be successfully attacked on
but a few days in every year. You
will have to learn to know them at
sight and to know when these days
come, if you are going to rid your
orchard of the pests. You ought to be
ready for the days when they come,
because there is little or no time to
prepare after the pests make their ap-
pearance. Learn to know the spray
ing times and to be able to take full
advantage of them, and when they
come keep the sprayer going from
dawn till dark. Remember, you can
hardly ever kill the old or the adult
bugs with spraying mixture any
way, and that you must strike the
young ones to make any progress.

The Effect of War.

Of course warfare diminishes the
population by the sum of the killed.
and to that extent decreases the de-
mand for food. Nevertheless, the sup
ply of food diminishes rapidly. That
is brought about, says the Malthous-
ian, through the killing of a relative
ly large proportion of the producers,
the putting of efficient laborers at un-
productive work, the destroying of the
machinery of production, and the
checking of agriculture. Thus war
Immediately increases the pressure Of
population on the means of subsist-
ence, and. the pressure cannot be en-
tirely removed until the normal num-
Der of laborers is again reached. In
other words, war, like, emigration,
leaves in the country an excess OF
women and children and other nom
producers, and so, although reducing
the actual number of the people, has
all the i'll effect of overpopulation.

ESSENCE OF RIGHT SPRAYING
Mixture Must Be Slammed Into Tree
With Force Enough to Penetrate
Every Inch Of Surface.

The very essence of right spraying
is slamming the material into the tree
twigs, buds and leaves with force
enough to make it penetrate into every
quarter inch of surface. All the bark
must be wet with the solution. 1t will
not do to wet the top surface of the
leaf and leave the other untouched.
Both sides of the leaves must have
their spray bath of the poisonous mist
if the tree insects are to be routed sat-
isfactorily.
Missing few clusters of leaves and
twigs or failing to get to one limb in
the top or in the center of tree, will
leave colony of the tree enemies big
enough to reinfect the whole tree in
a very short while. It should be all or
none, for anything less than a thor
ough spraying is waste of both time
and money and mighty discouraging
to boot.
You have to know the enemies you
are going out to kill In other words,
you have to know what to spray for,
when to spray and how to spray.
