PACKING EGGS FOR HATCHING
Good Plan to Use Strong Basket Lined
With ExeeIsior-Aim to Prevent
Any Earring.

A good way to pack eggs for hatch
ing Is In a strong basket. The basket
should be lined with excelsior or other
spring material which will hold its po-
sitiOn. about an inch thick; then each
egg should be wrapped with excelsior,
half an inch thick. and carefully nested
in the basket until all the eggs are in;
then they should be covered over with
an inch Of excelsior and cloth cover
held on By tacks pushed into the rim
Of the basket, or sewed down by pass
ing heavy string through the cloth and
through the basket beneath the rim.
Such a package Is strong and does
not Jar the eggs enough to hurt them,
even when quite roughly handled. A
basket with a strong, upright handle
should be used, SO that other things
cannot be piled on the basket and
crush 1t.

DIsP0sING OF DEAD ANIMALS
Common Practice Of Feeding careasses
to Swine Is Dangerous and
Should Be Stopped.

(By DIR. ]. T. DINwOODIE, South Da-
kota State College.)
The common practice of feeding car
casses to hogs is dangerous and should
be discontinued. Although hogs fortu-
nately are not susceptible to the many
diseases that kill other classes Of do
nestle animals, yet feeding to swine
the carcasses Of animals dead from in
fecdous and contagious diseases does
not remove the danger to other ami
mails. In many cases such practice
is only means of spreading disease.
The meat of an animal whose death
was due to disease is not fit food for
any other animal. Such meat is full of
the poisonous material produced and
liberated by the action of disease
germs. Undoubtedly in many cases
hogs suffer from digestive troubles
from this very cause. This condition
may be only temporary and pass un-
noticed by the average hog owner.
Burning is the only sure method Of
destroying carcass. Burying does not
destroy, it only removes. Feeding to
hogs does neither.

YARD FOR LITTLE CHICKENS
Wire Covered Device, Attached to
erooding Coop, viii Be Found
Quite Convenient.

For the person who matches and
broods little chickens In the good old
fashioned way, with Biddy to furnish
the heat, this little covered wire yard
to be attached to brooding coop
should prove mighty handy arrange
ment. 1t will keep the little fellows
from wandering far away from mother
until they are large enough to know
enough to come in out of the rain
when one Of those frequent showers
blows up; and this wandering, while
still young and foolish, Is cause for
the death of goodly percentage Of
early hatched chicks, and is incident
ally cause for whole heap of tire
some running about by the good house
wife who looks after most Of the
chickens on our farms.
This pen consists of four rectangular
frames, or woven wire walls. The two
side and end frames are hinged to the
top frame SO that they can be folded

Kidding SWINE OF vERMIN
Farsiohted Farmers Keep Oilers in
Hog Lot the Year Round-Sure
Death to All Lice.

When you see your hogs rubbing
against fence rails, posts, trees, cor
ners of buildings; when they don't
gain; when their coat of hair gets
rough and skin becomes diseased;
when they get restless and nervous
it's ninety-nine times out of one hun
dred that they are infested with mis-
erable, blood-sucking, torturing, tor
menting lice.
In such case don't waste any time.
Get some medicated or crude oil and
If you have a dozen or more hogs, get
hog oiler and let your hogs rid
themselves of these pests without de-
lay. These hog oilers allow the hogs
to rub the oil on the itchy lousy parts.
This is sure death to the lice, but
cannot harm your hogs.
Farsighted hog raisers take no
chances with filthy lice. They keep
hog oilers in their hog lot the year
round. The saving in feed alone soon
pays for the oil and oiler.

under or into 1t when not in use, or
when being shipped to the buyer; thus
they can be folded into small space
for shipment or for storing from one
brooding season to the next. When
placed In front of a brooder coop, this
contrivance gives the chicks n little
grassy range, and yet keeps them with
in sound of the coaxing call of the old
hen. Also, the coop can be opened so
as to allow the hen to have the same
range as the chicks, and little exer-
else Is mighty good thing for her as
well as for the chicks. Incidentally,
this little pen keeps rats and other
prowling, numbering varmints away

&&I3O&
Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts OF America)
CALL ISSUED FOR LEADERS

A number of scout officials have
been forced to give up active work be-
cause of their membership in the Ma
tional Guard or through enlistment in
the officers training corps and other
organizations. Undoubtedly number
of men will be drafted in cddition to
those who have already gone into one
service or another.
At recent meeting of the executive
board of the Boy Scouts of America
it was determined to continue as men,
bers of the Boy Scouts of America
with the same rank and privileges, all
scout officials in government service.
The national council of the Boy
Scouts of America has issued an ap-
peal for 100000 volunteers, eighteen
years old and over, to take care of
the new recruits which are pouring in.
For the last few weeks headquarters
has enrolled an average of over I 800
boys day.
The scout movement at this time is
utilizing all the power of well-organ-
lied force to increase food production
in the United States. The movement
is represented in nearly every city and
town of 1000 population and over, and
as consequence the work of the or
ganization will be a big factor In the
1917 crop; but the needs Of America
and her allies Mt this time are enor-
nous, and the leaders of the scout
movement are determined to secure
leaders to take care Of every boy who
volunteers.
Officers of the scout movement point
out that there are many patriotic men
who want to do their "bit" but who
cannot be accepted for active service
!, at the front because of physical dis
ability or because they have depend
ents. Many of these men have the
necessary qualifications to serve as
scoutmasters. All such are requested
to give their names and addresses at
once to the representative of the Boy
Scouts of America in their neighbor-
hood.
1t was also explained that number
of the scout officials are volunteering
for active service, and this increases
the immediate need for men to take up
| scouting in order that all troops may
have adequate competent leadership.
| The program for the summer is full
of activity and opportunity for real
patriotic service.

SCOUTS FARM WITH TRACTOR.

The United States government
turned over to the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea the eastern end of Potomac park
Washington, D. c., for farm. The
tract contained 300 acres, and 1t was
found that it could never be titled with
out labor-saving machinery.
Henry Ford was 80 much impressed
by the enterprise shown by the Wash
ington scouts that he hurried one trac-
tor to completion. He loaded 1t on
special express car, together with
plows, disk harrows, spring-tooth har-
rows and all other necessary machin-
cry. The express car was attached to

WAR EMsLEMs FOR SCOUTS.

In recognition of the seriousness of
the situation and the value of the

scout does the same.
3. To the scout who stands ut the
head Of the list for the whole United
States for the number Of gardens start
ed and successfully conducted through
his efforts.
4. To the troop which stands at the
head of the list for the whole United
States.
s. To the local council which stands
at the head of the list for the whole
country.

EXCESS OF SALT INJURIOUS
When Too Much 10 Fed to Live Stock
1t Becomes Poisonous-keep
Supply in Handy Place.

The fact that too large an excess of
salt when fed to live stock may be
poisonous may seem incredible, but it
Is fact. 1t Is quite common thing
to see chickens die from an overdose
of salt. Do not allow your cows and
horses to become salt hungry, as they
may eat an overdose wnen they finally
get 1t. When they have not had ac-
cess to 1t for some time it is safer to
salt them sparingly at first.
Keep some salt where they may get
it at will and they will not then over
eat when salted.

the case reopened and Mr.. Ingraham

the defense had for dismissal OF

had declared on the witness stand at

and after calling upon the driver or
the automobile in which Hatfield was
riding to halt, fired a shot from his

testimony Of Stone was fired, not at
