THOUSANDS LOST
 IN ROTTEN EGGS
Produce Inferti;e Eggs-lncrease the Food Supply and Farm
 Profits.

Extension Division University of Ark
 ansas, Fayetteville.
 Arkansas farmers lose thousands of dollars every summer because ehe eggs from the flocks spoil before being marketed. The greater part of this loss is due to partial matching of fertile eggs which have been allowed to become warm enough to begin to incubate. Produce infertile eggs and thus help to increase the food supply in the state and your farm profits. Infertile eggs keep best and market best in summer, while fertile eggs spoil quickly during hot weather. Boosters Do Not Help the Hens Lay.
 Remember the rooster does not Eelp the hens lay, but he merely fer lliZes the germ of the egg, which is unnecessary if the eggs are not to be used for hatching purposes. The fer tile germ in hot weather quickly he- comes a blood ring which spells the egg for food and for the market. Sum mer heat has the same effect on fer tile eggs as the hen or incubator.
 InfertiIe Eggs Will Not Make
 Blood Rings.
 Produce infertile eggs because the infertile germ will not produce a blood ring and, consequently, an in. fertile egg will not spoil as quickly as one that is fertile. Cook can, or pen your roosters as soon as the matching season is over. Farmers are urged to follow the following simple rules which will cost nothing but time and thought and will add a great deal to the profits from the poultry:
 l. Provide plenty of clean nests: have one nest for every four hens and keep the straw clean.
 ?. Gather the eggs twice daily dur ing warm or rainy weather.
 3. Keep the eggs in a cool. dry place and market them not less than twice a week during hot weather.
 A. Dispose of the roosters as soon as the matching season is over; pro- duce infertile eggs.
 5. Preserve eggs for the family for winter use the same day they are laid; remember, only clean (not washe6. fresh, uncracked eggs can be preserved,

"KNITTING NERVES"
LATEST AFFLICTION

KNITTING nerves" is the latest af-
Fiction that has struck the feminine
portion of the country, caused by
concentration of mind and hand on
the needles. According to dispatch
from New York, thousands of women
in that city are afflicted with this
wartime complaint. DR.. Louis r.
Welzmiller, physical director of the
West Side Y. NJ. c. A.. says there is
liable to be an epidemic of knitting
nerves" unless knitters learn to knit
properly. He offers the following ad-
vice as a remedy:
Don't hunch over your knitting.
Sit upright, and when your mind tells
you you have knitted enough, quit.
There are 365 days in a year and
you can't finish sweater in a day,
no matter how much you love SOL
der or a sailor"
Dr.. C. P Christensen, president OF
the Psychological Research Society,
concurred in the predictions of Dr.
Welzmiller. He attributed the nerve
scourge to the failure OF womenfolk
to comprehend the vibrations CT
nerve laws. He continued: "The
women are overworking themselves.
Knitting has become a craze. Nerves
cannot stand this strain"
