planting. The quality of hay is fairly
good if cut before the seed are fully

heavy.
Almost any of the sorghums may be

RAISE lNFERTlLE EGGS.

1t is conservatively estimated that
there is an annual loss in eggs In this
country of $45,OOO,O00 Practically all
of this enormous loss is sustained by
the farmers of this country, as it is on
the general farms that the great bulk
of eggs is produced. A very great part
Of this loss can be prevented by the
production of infertile eggs, which are
laid by hens that do not have male
bird with them. The male bird has no
influence whatever on the number OF
eggs laid. Therefore, as soon as the
Matching season is over the male should
DE removed from the flock.
The greatest trouble from blood rings
In eggs occurs in hot weather. Special
care should be given to the gathering
and storing of the eggs during the late
spring and summer months. At these
times the eggs should be gathered at
least twice day, placed in room or
cellar where the temperature does not
rise above 70 degrees F., and marketed
two or three times week.
Blood rings are caused by the de.
velopment Of the embryo Of fertile
egg and it's subsequent death. 1t is i'm.
possible to hatch an infertile egg OF
cause blood ring to form in one. II
| is generally considered that eggs be
come infertile from to IA days after
the male bird is removed from the
flock Repeated experiments have
shown that where fertile and infertile
eggs are kept under similar conditions
the fertile eggs spoiled much quicker
due to the fact that they deterioratt
faster than infertile eggs in the average
summer temperature. Summer hea
has the same effect as the hen or in
cubator On fertile eggs Sell, kill, O
confine the male bird as soon as tn
matching season is over.-U. s. Depart

BABY DANGER SIGNALS.

Is your baby restless in its sleep?
Does it snore and shuttle and sleep with
Its mouth open?
All these conditions are indications
that the tissues in the child's nose and
throat have become enlarged and have
closed the air passages enough to
hinder breathing
These engagements may be either
growths called adenoids or enlarged
tonsils. Unless they receive prompt
and careful attention they may lead to
deafness and other serious defects
which will hinder the child's growth,
both of mind and body. A large per-
centage of deafness is due to these
causes.
All babies who show any signs Of
trouble of this kind should be examined
by competent physician, who will
decide how early these growths may
be removed
Children suffer so seriously from the
troubles which these growths bring
that no parent should be willing to
have a child start out in life under
such handicap. In the hands Of
careful surgeon the operation is a
slight one, and in many cases the
relief Is immediate.

D. l. Norwood. Mr.. Firth expects to

land as soon as the lease now resting
on this plantation expires. 1t Is Mr..
Firth's intention to build new barns,
stables, and other improvements, and
also renovate the residence before his
family moves here
1t is understood that Mr.. Firth is a
man of considerable means, and thus
our parish has added to it's colony of
new people" another man able to help
us build up our parish, which is SO
much needed. Mr.. Firth and his family
are heartily welcome to the parish and
success is wished him.

RELATION OF BIRDS IN THE
CONTROL OF INSECTS.

Much argument has been spent in
urging the protection of birds for the
sake of their attributive aid in the
suppression of insects. While admit
ting that many birds attack fruits and
commit other depredations, the claim
is made that these feathered creatures
more than repay all their damages by
the number of insects which they cap
ture and eat A study of the facts in
this matter generally shows that such
birds do not feed upon injurious insects
alone, but also destroy beneficial ones.
After weighing the evidence, and
judging further from personal observa-
ton, the writer has concluded that no
pity or sentiment should be wasted on
birds which threaten the production OF
fruit or grain crops, or which menace
poultry. Unmerciful destruction by
shooting and every prevention of the
breeding OF such birds has, within the
writer's own experience, been the only
means of saving the yield of small
fruits, particularly grapes, in middle
western locality. But the birds that
are not known to eat fruit or grain, or
to do any harm, may be reasonably
protected. E. s. Tucker, Associate

SOME CROPS THAT MAY BE
PLANTED IN JUNE AND JULY

The following are some OF the crops
that can be planted during the month
of June or early July with the expecta-
ton of securing satisfactory returns:
Spanish peanuts may be planted up
to the LIST of July and make a good
crop. They are especially desirable
where hogs can be allowed to harvest
them.
Soy beans, preferably the Mammoth
Yellow, may be planted any time from
June to the latter part of July and util.
lied for forage or for a grain crop
They should be planted in rows as
close together as cultivation will per
nit and cultivated two or three times
Most soils are naturally inoculated fol-
soy beans. 1t takes approximately hall
a bushel of seed per acre. 1t may take
a little more if the rows are less thar
three feet apart, or little less if the
rows are more than three feet apart
They should be drilled so that the
stalks will be two to four inches apar
in the drill.
Probably the catch crop that requires
less time for maturity is German millet
Harvest may be made ordinarily II

FEEDING coTToN-sEED MEAL
TO HOGS.

Cotton-seed meal contains a very
high per cent of protein, and Is, even
at the present price, the cheapest
source of protein for feed stuffs that
can be secured on the markets. How
ever, if fed in large quantities for long
periods of time it will produce a poi
sonous effect upon the animal body and
in some cases death may follow. This,
therefore, has placed restriction upon
the use of meal as an ingredient Of a
mixed ration, Notwithstanding the fact
that it can be used with perfect safety
under proper feeding.
The great variation in the toxicity Of
meal, which has been often noticed In
the effect on animals consuming similar
amounts and apparently under similar
conditions, renders the feeding more
difficult. After several years of ex-
perimenting we have adopted the fol-
lowing rules for feeding cotton-seed
meal: One-half per cent of the live
weight of hog can be fed daily for an
indefinite period Of time without pro-
ducing bad results; or half pound per
day is the largest amount of meal that
can be safely fed to UNDERGROUND
pig The meal can be fed with corn or
other feeds, using feeding ration Of
about / to or l to T.. We have fed
this ration to brood sows before far
rowing without producing any bad
results.
Larger amounts of cotton-seed meal
can be used for fattening hogs, but 1t
should not be fed for more than forty
days. The feeding ration should be
about / to 5. If the feeder cares to
take chances" the meal can be fed
for longer period with profit.
Many swine breeders are afraid to
feed cotton-seed meal under any con-
ditions, as bad results have been ex-
perienced in the past by overlooking.
Evidently the toxicity for hogs is
question of the account fed; a suitable
allowance forms harmless and pro-
fitable food while larger allowance
acts as a more or less virulent poison
and is, therefore, nproitable-Harry

ment Stations, l.. S. u.
