year to year. The same can be used
with corn or any other intertilled sum-
mer crop. There is some difficulty in
seeding bur clover in standing cot
ton, as in the narrowing Of the bur-
clover seed some of the ripe cotton is
pulled out of the bolls. On this ac-
count the narrowing should be done
just after the pickers have been
through the field. to avoid as far as
possible any injury to the opened
bolls.
There are several well-authenticated
farm records which show that by the
simple use of bur clover in rotation
with cotton the yields of cotton have
shown marked increase year after
year. There is apparently no other
.legume as satisfactory as bur clover
for this purpose. The use OF q sum-
mer legume crop, like cowpeas or soy
beans. is advisable in good rotations,
but where cotton is grown continuous
" it involves the omission OF this crop
for an entire growing season. Fur
thermore, when the cowpeas are
Moved under, large amount Of vege-
table matter is often added to the
soil that is good economy, and it is
practicable to do this only at long In
tervals. It is much cheaper and much
more satisfactory to use bur clover,
which after 1t is once established. does
not involve much expense for growing
seed. nor does 1t require the loss OF
a growing season, as is the case with
a summer legume crop. Furthermore.
It adds each year reasonable amount
Of humus and nitrogen, which In the
end gives much more satisfactory re-
suits than the turning under OF q

teryals. Perhaps no one thing Will
tend to bring about an increased yield
from cotton fields more surely and
more cheaply than the general use Of
bur clover to make winter cover and
grecn-manure crops.

a clear white egg, while Boston wants
a rich brown color; and the, interme-
diate cities, all the way across, may,
in q way, take almost any color; but
most city retailers find 1t to their
advantage to separate the colors to
suit individual customers.
But never, no never, fool away very
much time with scrub" or mongrel
stock on the farm, and don't try to
keep too many breeds or you may soon
have a lot of mongrels yourself.
Even on the regular poultry ranch
where many breeds are kept, strange
"mixeries" sometimes happen in
some most unexplainablc way.
It is often claimed that mixed
breeds or scrubs" lay better than
purebreds, but a careful investigation
will generally prove that the feed,
care, and perhaps the age of the birds,
has more to do with the egg product
than the simple fact that they are
cross-bred.
But while different markets demand
different colored eggs there is no mar
ket on this continent, at least, that
demands a dirty or stained egg, or
an egg that has been under broody
hen for a night or two, or one that
has been out in the sun for several
days. Gather daily at least and ship
at least weekly.

HARM DONE BY CATTLE TICKS

The department of agriculture has

tions and answers:
What do the thousand ticks eat?
Blood.
Where does the blood come from?
From the grass, silage, corn, cot
tonseed meal and other feed your cat
tie eat.
Oh-then the tick eats my feed?
Yes, but he first makes your cat
tie do all the work OF turning feed
into blood.
But what is cattle blood worth?
So much pound when 1t goes into
beef-so much a quart when 1t goes
to make milk.
How much blood do ticks eat?
Where they are thick they eat 200
pounds of blood year from 1000
pound steer.
How much milk do they take out
in blood?
A few on COW reduce the milk
yield one and one-half quarts day
lots of them will cut the milk down
over three quarts.
Then the ticks are drawing on my
bank account?
They are certainly keeping your
balances in the veal stage.

When you wake up with backache

overworks the kidneys In their effort

come sort OF paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at cnce or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take q tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast for few days
ana your kidneys Will then act fine.
