 SAVE HE HEN E6jS
Experiment Poultry Expert Suggests Practical Method of Preserving Eggs During Hot Months of Sum Msr Season.

Eggs get very cheap in the summer season, and the producer is reluctant to dispose of his supply, knowing that the eggs are forced down in price at this time for storage. The producers should and can enjoy the profit of their eggs. The eggs are bought at a low figure and placed in storage and held for the raise of the market. The producer can do the same thing.
 Water glass is a safe method for storing eggs. To Is gallons of water that has been boiled and allowed to cool, add one gallon of water, sodium silicate and stir thoroughly. Pour this solution in a receptical and keep in a cool place A cellar or basement that is well ventilated is good.
 Place the eggs i'll the solution as gathered. Do not allow the eggs to set around several days before plac- ing them in the solution. Fill the re- cepticles with eggs to within about two inches of the top. allowing for 9 good covering of the solution over tho eggs.
 The males should be separated from the females when the eggs are placed in storage. Fertile eggs will not keep in good condition like sterile egss. Eggs that are sterile, gathered and packed promptly will keep in perfect condition for several months
 Good recepticles are earthen jars, 50 pound lard cans or five gallon kero- sene cans with tops melted of. Any farmer can use the method as describ, ed above with safety, but he must be very careful to pack a select article
 Eggs to be packed should be can died, unless known to be perfectly fresh and even then, candling is . good precaution.

 "L J. Rigg of Ashton, in 1914 plant ed 60 acres in cotton; this year he has only 40
 -F O. Andrews of Mason, one of the larger planters of Chicot county last year planted 1.20O acres to cot. ton and this year he reduced those figures to 800.
 "J- B Lewis of Lake Village, who last year planted 75 acres over in the South's great staple has none this years. MT. Lewis says that any small raise in the price of cotton canns. justify cotton farming"

Value of Bacteria
HOW TO MAKE GOOD sIIAeE
Various Methods That May Be used
 With Success in Arkansas.

Corn should be harvested for sfIage when in the denting or glazing stage Sorghums should be allowed to grow until the seed is perfectly ma ture
 Harvest with a corn binder as bun. dles are the most convenient to handle
 Have plenty of power and labor 30 that the filling can be done rapidly. as 1t Is more economical to run at full capacity.
 Mince the Forage.
 Chop the forage in lengths not .p exceed one-half D three-uuarters inches in length. They pack nor. closely and therefore exclude air more effectively.
 Gstributa the light and heavy par. ticies uniformly over the surface of the silo D insure even settling.
 Keep the surface in the silo saucer shaped with the high side next to the walls
 Tramp the entire surface thorough. ly, but more specially around the walls
 Use Plenty Of Water.
 If the crop has been frosted CT rather meture add plenty of water. Do not be afraid of adding too such but avoid adding too little.
 Running water into the blower ot the cutter is the best way to add va. Ier as 1t Is then evenly distributed. Snap the ears out of the last two or three loads Of corn to save the grain. When reflling on old stlage, remove all spoiled silage before putting in new.
 Seal the silo by thoroughly tramp. ing and soaking the top of the silaze for several days aler filing and allow ing the silo to seal itself
 If yor sio was air and water tight at the beginning you will have good silaga

Experimental Station eaetsrioloqist Says Bacteria Take Nitrogen From Air For Deposit in Soil.

IL Is well known fact that either fields or unbroken land allowed to run without tllage will gradually increase in nitrates, sometimes as much as Twenty-Five to thirty percent. For a number of years this was a matter of much discussion and was explained ia various ways. However, 1t was nnal- " discovered that this was the work Of bacteria and that these bacteria take free nitrogen from the air and convert it into plant food in the soil This process Is called nitrogen fxa- tion"
 Process of Fixation.
 There Is another process of Hxa. tion which must be distinguished from the process just mentioned and that Is the process which takes place in the noduleS on the roots of leguminous plants Both of these processes of fix. alton are brought about by bacteria but the organisms which cause them are entirely different The bacteria which work in the nodules will not nx nitrogen in the soil while those which work in the soil will not fix nitroSen in the nodules of legumes.
 Bacteria as Aid.
 The bacteria which fix free nitro gen in the soil are capable of doing their work quite rapidly It has been demonstrated quite coneIusively that they are able to fix considera ble amounts of nitrogen in as short a time as 10 days or two weeks when all Of the controlling factors are favorable. Only part of the factors which con. trol their work have been determined. but some of the more important ones are known. Probably one of the more import2et Of these factors is the ad. dition of lime to the soil as 1t seems that lime is a great help to these or. ganisms in carrying on their work. They usually work in the first foot of soil or in that part which is reached by the blow. but as previously stated ley may also work in soil that has never been titled.
 Value of Bacteria
 The value of their work can hard. ly De estimated in dollars and cents for they work almost the entire year storing up in the soil this most cost. ly of plant food. while at the same time they are practically unaided in their work and do not cost the farmer one cent.
