DO YOUR HENS LAY IN wiNTERa
ROY H. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

When eggs are high in price, during
the winter, do your hens lay? If they
do, wouldn't you like to be able to sell
most Of them? If they don't. wouldn't
you like to have eggs TO use without
paying q high price for them? You
can keep the eggs laid by your hens
in the spring, when eggs are cheap.
until winter II you wish. OF course,
these eggs cannot be sold as fresh
egs, but you can use them yourself,
for they are perfectly good for cook
ing purposes. Then you can sell the
fresh eggs at the advanced prices.
The best method of keeping eggs is
by cold-storage, but this is not avail
able to most poultry raisers. There is
a method, however, that can be used
by anyone-the waterglass method.
The directions are as follows: Make
up a solution using one part, by meas
ure, of waterglass (sodium silicate)
and nine parts Of ordinary water
which has been boiled and allowed to
cool. An earthenware jar is usually
considered best to keep the solution
in. The eggs are put into the solution
in as fresh a condition as possible.
1t is best. where possible, to put the
eggs in the day they are laid 1t is
also better to have them clean SO that
washing is unnecessary. They will
also keep longer if they are sterile;
no male birds running with the flock.
Keep at least two inches of the fluid
above the eggs, cover the receptacle
to prevent evaporation and store in
cool place. Waterglass can be OBJ
tanned either as liquid or dry powder
The powdered preservative was put on
the market the past year.

WARM WEATHER FAvoRs SPREAD
OF DISEASE.

New outbreaks Of the hoof and
mouth disease continue to occur in
Maryland and in neighboring states,
causing serious loss in a number of
valuable herds. Thirty-nine farms In
ten counties of the State have been
visited by the dreaded disease with q
total loss Of 1,472 animals. One pure
bred herd Of Guernsey COWS IN Had.
donaeld, New Jersey, valued at over
$4,000 was wiped out entirely. With
the coming Of warmer weather condi.
tions will be even more favorable to
the spread of the disease than hereto.
fore. Every farmer should, for this
reason, take every precaution against
the introduction Of the disease onto
his farm or into his neighborhood
He can best help suppress the disease
by following the suggestions issued
from the State Experiment Station
last fall by DR.. S. 8. Buckley, Vet.
erinarian in Charge.
DR.. Buckley stated, 1.-THE Expert
ment Station dairy herd and buildings
are under voluntary quarantine, and
we urge all owners of valuable herds
to follow this example in order to aid
the State Livestock Sanitary Board
and the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture in checking the ravages of the
disease.
ITO succeed quickly there must be
energetic cooperation on the part of
farmers throughout the State. They
should watch their animals closely and
report at once sore mouths or lame
ness. If they have added new stock
within sixty days they should inform
either of the above agencies stating
the kind and number of animals and
where they were secured. They
should also establish voluntary quar-
antine on their farms, and prohibit
any cattle, sheep. or hogs from pass,
Ing onto or off the premises No one,
If he can help it, should engage in
the shipment of animals for any pur-
pose whatsoever until the plague is
well under control.

ToPpREssING WHEAT WITH COM
MERcIAL FERTILIZER IN

Where the soil is rather poor and
deficient in nitrogen it will usually pay
in a normal season to topdress wheat
in the spring with rs or 100 pounds of
nitrate of soda and the same amount
of acid rock per acre. If the soil is
fertile so that there is no question of
a good growth of straw being produced
in normal season. 1t is not worth
while to fertilize. The fertilizer

TURKISH SOLDIERS.
They Are Always Prepared and Ever
Willing to FIGHT.

Willing to Fight.
The popular western conception of
the Turkish army is something in the
nature of wild zouave, marshaled in
battalions and fred with fanatical,
hOmicidal mania. But nowhere in Tur-
key win you find such conception
realized.
The great majority of Ottoman regu-
lars are singularly plain. unpicturesque,
unpretentious soldiery. On their heads
they wear either gray bashlyks wound
turbanwise, or plain fezzes or "kal-
paks" of a yellowish brown color cor
responding to their German made uni
forms of rough wooden cloth. Their
legs are wound in bulky way with
the same material in a Turkish con-
ception of puttee. and on their feet
either short boots or the soft leather
moccasin-like shoes Of the Balkans
give them comfortable agricultural
look.
Singly or in bulk. there is nothing at
all smart about them, but they look
exceedingly equal to the delivery of
the goods. Altogether they appear as
well able to fade indistinguishably into
the landscape as anything human
could. Many Of them are Anatolians
and some are ruddy faced Kurds from
the Caucasus. Others come from the
Taurus mountains. back of Konia and
Aleppo. swarthy Syrians and Arab
types.
Any one of them viii fight at the
drop Of hat. He would not have to
change anything. There is nothing
about him to polish or to be kept clean.
AS he stands he sleeps and eats, drills,
marches and goes into battle Worlds
Work.

THE CUNNING or CROWS.
In India These Birds Have Been La
beled "Shreds of Satan"

Tn India These Birds Have Been La
beled "Shreds Of Satan"
Travellers in the orient have much
to say about the Indian crow, bird
that for uncanny knowingness and
prankish audacity has perhaps no
equal. Coryus splendens-t thus have
ornithologists datteringly labeled him.
But naturalist who knows the Indian
crows at first hand has called them
"shreds Of Satan, cinders from Tar
tarus." To give these impish crea-
lures their due, however, it should be
said that life In India Is not little
enlivened by their presence. A cor
respondent witnessed the following In
cident:
A small hawk had seized little bird
and perched on leafiess branch to de-
your his prey. The spectacle drew
two crows to the spot. They hoped
and tapped from branch to branch,
noisily discussing the strategy of their
intended raid.
Then one Of them quietly slipped
away through the surrounding foliage.
At the same time his mate flew in
front Of the perching hawk and, how
ering within foot Of his beak, main
tanned bustling menace Of snatching
the titbit. That effectively compelled the
attention Of the hawk. His prey hrm-
" grasped beneath his feet, he an
grily Kissed and lunged at the hover
ing nuisance. So lively was the slxir-
mish that the human onlooker forgot
the existence of the second crow. But
now that willy bird reappeared some
distance in the rear of his destined
victim. With stealthy sidlings and
short, noiseless flights, he drew near.
Then he made swift dash, seized the
hawks long, barred tail by the tip,
hung on it with his full weight and
toppled the Iuckless hawk in COM
plete back somersault from the branch!
The released titbit was instantly seized
by the first crow, and the clever pair
bore off their booty with much trium-
plant cawing Companion.

tanning the Garden Of Eden and the
ruins Of Babylon and Nineveh. Ger
many saw possibilities of growing as
much cotton in Mcscpotamia as the
United States new produces, and
enough wheat to supply the central
empires. Petroleum and coal, too,
abound in this land that centuries ago
was the rich est in the world.
The concession to build the Bagdad
railway and develop agricultural and
mineral lands on either side of it is
Germany's richest possession in the
near-east. Jealous OF a rival to the
Suez Canal, llIngland declined to CO.

cession for the oil development and

cession was not ratified by the Sultan
