OF the ease and convenience that are
enjoyed on any modern city property.
For the average farm, there is a
possible time and labor saving of two
hours Il day where n modern water
system, electrically operated, is used.
Two hours a day is another 730 hours
year to be added to our annual saw
ing.
There are other ways of saving
about the farm home by means of the

PRAIRIE DOG NUISANCE BEING
FOUGHT ON LARGE SCALE

Mr.. Burnett, deputy pest inspector
in charge of prairie dog eradication in
Colorado, stated at the Nucla meeting
that Colorado has over million acres
in pest districts most of which are for
the eradication of prairie dogs. The
eastern slope alone has thoroly de-
monstrated that prairie dogs can be
eliminated by systematic poisoning.
Mr.. Burnett estimated the damage
done by prairie dogs at ten cents per
acre per year, with 100000 acres
infested, there is an enormous loss to
Colorado.
Pest districts and systematic poison
ing is the only solution to the prairie
dog trouble.

EGG CONSERVATION.

Nashville, Tenn, February IL
The ruling of the Food Admins
tration prohibiting the selling of
hens and pullets after Monday,
February IL until May l, 1918, is
for the purpose of conserving the
egg supply of the country.
1t has been an unfortunate GUS
tom in the State of Tennessee for
the farmer to sell hens during the
early spring months just at the
time when they would be produc-
ing the most eggs. 1t is estimated
that 100000 fowls are sold an
nually from the State ofTennessee,
and, furthermore, this represents a
loss of 100000 dozen eggs which
would have been laid by those hens
provided they had been kept until
May l. Heretofore every farmer
who has sold hen during;Febru-
ary lost at least so cents per hen by
SO doing. Therefore this rule is
not a hardship but blessing, as
the income to the farmers in this
State will be something like $780,
900 more than if the hens had been
sold as heretofore.
The Nation needs the eggs that
will be laid by these hens in order
to increase our food supply and
help win the war.
After May / these hens may be
sold as usual. But from now until
then they may be only sold, for lay
ing or breeding purposes.
Yours truly,
ID. A. MORGAN.
