QUALITY COUNTS WITH EGGS
Annual Loss Runs Into Millions
Through Marketing Poor Article
During Summer Months.

Quality counts, not sometimes. but
always" and is as true with market
eggs as with any other commodity.
The farmers annual loss through the
marketing OF poor eggs during the
summer months mounts into the mil
lions in the aggregate and is wholly
unnecessary. Because Of the presence
of 80 many spoiled eggs coming from
the farms the buyer is compelled to
pay lower prices as the poor eggs
are sorted out by him and must be
disposed of at figures far below the
market price of good eggs.
Why should not the farm producer
first endeavor to produce good eggs
and then sort them himself and know
positively that he Is selling only first
quality eggs? The Gambling Of eggs
Is the final test and can be easily done
by anyone. Arrange common paste
board shoe box to stand on end over
small lighted lamp. Make hole
slightly smaller than an egg in one
side of the box directly opposite
the lamp fame and give ventilation
to the lamp by removing the end of
the box over the lamp and you are
ready to candle eggs accurately.
To produce good first quality eggs
the essentials are healthy hens; good,
wholesome food; clean nests; daily
gathering of eggs and the removal
Of all males from the laying flock.
After this the eggs must be kept
In cool, moist temperature. Given
these conditions of production and
handling, with a careful Gambling be-
fore marketing. any farm pouItryman
may be certain that he is offering
only first quality product that may
command the best prices

One of the most prominent druggists
of America made a statement a few
weeks ago which has caused a great
deal of dicussion among scientists in the
medical press
He said: '1f the new hair grower,
Mildredina Hair Remedy, increases its
sales as it has during the past year, ii
will be used by nearly every man, woman
and child in America within eight
years.
When Mildredina Hair Remedy is
used almost universally, dandruff will
disappear and with its departure bald
ness, itching scalp, splitting hair and all
scalp diseases will follow and twenty
years from now bald head will be a
rarity"
There is only one way to cure dan
druff, and that is to kill the germs.
There is only one hair preparation that
will kill the germs and that is Mildred
ina Hair Remedy. This unusal hair re-
storer with its record of thousands of
cures will grow hair on any head where
there is any life left; it will cure dan

ORCHARD SHADE FOR CHICKS
Ideal Place for coops and Breeders
Double Use May Be Made Of
Sunfiower Plants

All will agree that an ideal place for
coops, colony coops and brooder coops
is in well grown orchard. There the
chicks have shade from the hot noon
day sun, but since every farm or poul-
try yard has not an orchard the Ques-
ton of shade must be given some con-
sideration.
II there Is no natural shade, coops
placed between rows of sunfiowers will
provide the chicks shade. Sunfiowers
grow rapidly, provide good shade and
the seeds make good winter food for
the poultry. However, If one cannot
plant sunfowers and there is no shade
for the chickens, muslin or old burlap
stretched over high poles will provide
shade. Anything that will cast q
shadow. SO as to provide a place for
the chickens to rest in during the heat
of the day. Fruit trees always do we'll
when planted in chicken yards, espe-
cially when the ground is kept dug up
around them. By all means remember
to provide some kind of shade to be
ready for the warm days, and the
chickens will be more comfortable and
thrive better.

chance of maturing within year or
two. when it will deposit eggs in a
half dozen or more nearby trees, caus-
ing thereby a continued and an in
creased infestation In that particular
orchard.
The importance Of the following
points should be kept in mind by all
persons who practice this method Of
borer control:
1. Borers should be removed from
the trees as soon as possible after
Matching.
2. Every borer in the orchard should
be found and destroyed.
8. Borers should not be allowed to
breed in cultivated or wild host trees
growing within at least 200 or 500
feet OF the orchard.
Paint Acts as Preventive.
La addition to worming, as this
process is called. paint is often used
to prevent the beetles laying their
eggs. Pure white lead and raw lin

injure the trees, and when applied to

son. 1t is probable that this is a more
effective method than wrapping the
trees with building paper, cotton bat
ting, cloth or other materials some
times used for this purpose. Before
painting, however, the earth should be
removed from the base Of the tree for
a depth Of from three to four inches.
The surface of the trunk thus exposed
should be first scraped and painted
and the earth then replaced. This is

about the feeding yard, and If the
meal is delayed, they overeat and may
become crop-bound-a trouble some
times called Sunday morning dis
ease" because the poultry man who
takes his Sunday nap without putting
out feed for the chickens Saturday
night, is apt to have frequent cases
of this kind. A lady who is success
full in getting winter eggs said:
THE reason we always get winter
eggs is because our hens have estab-
lished regular habits. which means
good digestion and content. II the
chickens Of the Blanks have to wait
1t is the Blanks-never the chickens.
A dissatisfied hen won't lay, and a
hen that is not fed when she thinks
she ought to be fed is dissatisfied"
If It is impossible to feed at stated
hours, keep the dry mash before the
chickens all the time, and throw the
days allowance of grain in the litter
the night before.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The roundheaded apple-tree borer,
the most destructive of number of
similar pests, causes much damage
to apple orchards In the eastern half
of the United States. It does not
conf1ne its destructive methods solely
TO apple trees, but feeds on other
fruit trees, as well as service, wild
crab and mountain ash. which makes
1t advisable to cut out these latter
varieties for distance Of at least a
hundred yards from the orchard.
The presence of the borers is easily
detected. Sawdustlike castings of q
reddish color are thrown out through
small holes In the bark as the borers
feed. Heaps Of these castings found
at the base Of apple, pear or ounce
trees are always an evidence that the
trees need immediate attention. Ere
quently an examination of an orchard
induced by finding one tree with cast
ings at the base will reveal the fact
that many trees are affected and that
serious injury has already been done.
Ordinarily the parent beetle lives
about 40 or so days. 1t is about three
fourths of an inch in length, light
brown In color above, with two broad
white bands joined In front, extending
the full length of the back; the I'M
derparts and front of the head are
white. The females rarely fly any
considerable distance, so that If the
immediate vicinity Of an orchard can
be kept free from them, there is little
danger of a serious infestation
WormIng to Be Thoroughly Done.
The most common method of rid
ding an orchard of these pests is to
cut away the bark sufficiently to trace
the burrows made by the borer A
hooked wire is then inserted into the
burrow and the insect pulled out. If
made with care. the wound in the tree
caused by this process will heal
readily. The castings at the base of
the tree serve as an indication of tho
presence of the borers. Where the
burrows are curved or INSTRUCTED in
some way so that the wire cannot be
inserted, cotton batting dipped In car
bon bisulphid should be inserted and
the hole then plugged with moist
earth. The gas from the carbon BIZ
sulphid will penetrate all parts of the
burrow and kill the borer. In extern
sive orchards where worming is done
on large scale by promiscuous labor
some of the helpers are likely to be-
come careless and overlook or neglect
to destroy an occasional borer. Every
female so overlooked stands good

necessary, for the beetle occasionally
lays her eggs under instead of above
the ground.
As the insect In its borer stage lives
and feeds under the bark. insectioide
sprays cannot be used successfully
against 1t. When the borer has
reached the adult stage 1t feeds more
or less on the exposed surface of
leaves and twigs and on the moisture
contained In the fresh castings thrown
out by borers still working in the
trees. Arsenate of lead sprayed on
trees on which they are feeding would
kill many OF the adult beetles, but it is
doubtful II 1t would pay ordinarily to
spray for the purpose OF killing this
insect alone, except in the case of
