PREVENT HENS EATING EGGS
Habit May Be Discouraged by Placing
China Eggs on Floor and Letting
Fowls Pick Them.

If you keep few china eggs on the
floor about the laying hens or in the
yard, the hens will pick at these, and
1t will discourage them from attempt
ing to eat the eggs in the nest. IL is
also advisable to place your nests away
from the light, as the hens are not apt
to eat the eggs If the nest is rather
dark Keep your nests up off the floor
Supply oyster shell and some meat
food. If the hen persists in this bad
habit, trim the point of her beak until
it bleeds. Keep the hens busy. Avoid
broken eggs, as this is usually the be-
ginning of this trouble.

require less rain than corn. If the
peanut could choose its own bed, II
would pick these sandy lands as just
the right place.
Furthermore, the peanut improves
these lands, If proper methods are
maintained. OF course, If the pea
vines are removed for hay, and the
roots are wholly dug out in harvesting
the crop, they will exhaust the soil
just as any other crop will. where
everything is taken away and nothing
is returned. 1t is fortunate circum-
stance, however, that the nuts them
selves grow just below the surface of
the ground, while the notwithstanding
roots go considerably deeper. A pillow
digger which will go just below the
nuts and cut the roots off at that point
leaves the nitrogen-bearing part in the
soil, and the same is true of q modi-
fed potato digger also used in harvest
ing the crop. Even If good many
nuts are lost by cutting them off too
close, the nitrogen left in the soil by
saving the roots is said to be worth
from So to So an acre. and 1t would
take n good many peanuts to make up
this value. If hogs are turned in,
even these peanuts are saved and are
turned into bacon, while manurial
value goes back into the soil.
Peanut Oil Market
Peanut oil promises to be in great
er demand than ever before because,
according to the department of agri-
culture authorities, 1t is one of the
most important of the worlds food
oils, and doubly important under pres
ent conditions. With European imports
cut off and a scarcity of cotton-seed
oil there is every assurance of con-
siderable demand at good prices.
American mills, however, are not get
ting the best prices for their product
because they do not shell and clean
the nuts and remove the germs.
Where this is done, and the first press
ing is made without heating the mate
rial, the extracted oil is clear and
clean and equal In quality to the fin
est imported olive oil, though of a
different and more nutlike flavor To
many persons 1t is more palatable than
olive oil.
The Spanish type of peanut should
be grown for oil, and the only addi-
tional equipment needed is that used
in peanut cleaning and Smelling fac
tories Peanut meal, left as a by
product of oil extraction, is very
nutritious stock feed.
A Balanced Agriculture.
The departments advice is not TO
substitute peanuts for cotton and mus
maintain the uneconomic system of
one-crop agriculture. On the contrary,
the advice is to utilize the peanut in
certain sections by making it part
of well-balanced agriculture and es-
pecially by using 1t in areas of serious
boll-weevil depreciation as part insur-
ance against cotton losses. The farm
er need not hesitate to plant some
what larger acreage than his present
needs for hog and cattle feed. If the
price happens to be low, he can buy
more hogs and market the peanuts In
that way; if the price happens to be
high, he can sell the surplus to ad-
vantage. To raise peanuts year in and
year out as the sole money crop would
be as unwise as to depend upon cot
ton alone.

RIGHT PRODUCTION OF EGGS
Hens, Like Men, Cannot Long Stand
Overwork Avoid Trying to
Make 2o0-Average.

1t is possible TO go to extremes In
egg production. Hens, like men, can
not long stand overwork. To have the
flock average 200 eggs year is getting
very close to the danger line. 1t
means that every hen Is working at
high pressure. Flock averages of from
$50 to $50 eggs are heavy laying. and
should satisfy the most ambitious

Eastern Demand Is
Cleaning Up Sheep
All Through West

Portland, Or, Aug 6.-The demand
for sheep and lambs from the east is
cleaning up the entire west at the
highest prices on record Much buying
of stoekers is shown for the eastern
states.
Owners of the 100000 sheep now
on the range in New Mexico will re-
ceive the largest income this year from
sale of lambs and wool in the history
of the industry in that state. Conditions
during the lambing season were not as
favorable as in an average year in some
sections of the state and the increase
for the state as whole will be aproxi-
mately 70 per cent, compared with a
normal increase of So per cent. Shortage
of lambs, however, is more than made
up ON the sheep growers balance sheet
bv high prices for both lambs and wool
Practically all New Mexico lambs
which win be soldyth year to feeders
have now been contracted for, and APP
proximately 100000 head will move
out of the state in October, November
and December. The fAerage or go pound
lamb, which in the past have gone to
the feeder at from 81 TO So a head, is
selling this year at an all state average
of $3.50. Choice lambs from well known
growers are commanding as high as 50.
Sales of lambs will bring the growers 4
minimum of $12,000,000
The New Mexican wool clip is nor
NAL at around 1S,000,000 pounds, but
the price will average better than 30
cents a pound for the state, as com
pared with an average of 90 cents last
| year and II cents in 1915. The income
from wool sales probably will reach
! S., 100000 The gross income of the in
dustry, including local sales, consign'
ments to feed lots within the state,
sales of old ewes and other sources,
will total $20,000,000 or nearly 81
000,000 more than the previous high
record.
