The United States department of ag.
riculture is promoting a plan for co.
operation for the common good be.
tween producers and consumers, in
keeping summer-laid eggs for winter
use. The plan is to have, as far as
possible, every farmer and poultry
keeper in the United States preserve
for home use only one case-30 dozen
of eggs, and to sell one case to a
nearby consumer to preserve. This
plan, when put into operation, the de.
partment believes, will produce three
beneficial results. First, it will con
serve supplies. Second, it will equal
ize distribution. Third, it will tend to
stabilize prices.
The water-glass method of preserva-
ton is recommended or, where water
glass cannot be obtained the lime-wa.
ter method. Only good strictly fresh
eggs should be put down in water glass
or by the lime-water method. Eggs
that are stale when packed will con.
tinue to deteriorate You can secure
full information about the plan from
your state agricultural college or from

culture, Washington, d. G.

BEWARE OF GARGET IN EWES
Inflammation OF Udder ls Common
Trouble at Landing Time and
Needs Immediate Attention.

Garget, or inflammation of the ewes
udder, is common trouble at lambing
time, and it should be given immediate
attention. The udders of heavy milking
ewes are likely to become inf1ameG and
as result the ewes may have milk fe-
yer. Overlooking of grain, colds, chills
and lying on wet floors are some of the
causes Of this condition. When discov-
cred, the ewes udder should be bathed
with hot water by means Of wooden
cloths. After the udder has been dried,
it can be rubbed with turpentine and
lard, or with one-half ounce of lead
acetate dissolved in one quart of wa
ter. The udder should be kept wet with
acetate for half day. 1t should be
MIXED out thoroughly each time the
application is made. 1t is also advis-
able to give the eve good dose of
EPSON salts as soon as the trouble is
noticed.

PLAN OUTLINED FOR
MARKETING PRODUCE
Much Time Of Farmer and Labor
Of Horses Wasted by the
Present Farm Practice.

It is impossible to say how many
thousand dollars worth Of time of men
and horses is wasted every year by
the present plan Of having each in
dlVidual farmer 90 to town with few
vegetables, chickens, eggs, or a pound
or so of butter. How much better
Is the plan adopted some time ago by
one neighborhood to which we have
called attention: One man was en-
ployed to act as market agent for the
entire group, going to the market town,
say on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat
urdays, and selling for commission
of Is per cent. Three collecting sta
tons were named Cat farmers homes),
one say three miles, one six miles, and
one nine miles from the market town.
To these collecting stations the neigh
bors sent on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday evenings whatever stuff they
wished their market-man to sell for
them. Thus one man did the work Of
many; a regular line of customers was
built up; the market man knew what
prices were right and got them, and
there are other obvious advantages

RECALLS OLD HANGING DAYS
Interesting Book Contains Chronicles
Of Executions During Period Of
Stern and Swift Justice.

''The Hangman's Record" is a unique
English work Of reference, unknown
to the general public. Between its
covers are chronicled most of the
crimes for which their actors paid pen,
atty at Newgate, Tyburn or the Tower.
From 1901 down to 1910, every execu-
ton worth noting is noted-sometimes
in so quaint a style as to render the
reading more humorous than morbid.
Names famous and infamous figure
in its index, from Charles ], the Gun
powder Plotters, Captain Kidd and
Jack Sheppard, down to Rt. Rev.
Dodd, author of "The Beauties of
Shakespeare" who, In spite of many
influential friends, suffered for forg-
cry at Tyburn in 1777.
One Matthew Clark paid the death
penalty for killing his lady love while
in the very act Of kissing her Marga-
ret Dickson comes off better. After
her execution, while on the road to the
burial place, the driver, in quest of re-
freshment, stopped at wayside inn.
Thereupon Margaret reappeared, sat
up in her coffin and was subsequently
able to firmly establish her innocence
Of the crime Of which she was accused.

HIGH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
Within Next Two Years 81 ,000, 900 Will

Hawaii is awakening to the value Of
good roads. Within the next two years
Honolulu will spend $1,000,000 in road
building in the Island of Oahu. Con-
crete will be extensively used in the
work as the Hawaiian has learned the
value of permanent construction. Amer
lean engineers are largely responsible

Of the city of Honolulu. OF the latter
there are 234 miles within the city
proper and, altogether, 474 in the cOun-

Year of chrlst,s Rlrth.

History tells us that for 500 years
the Christians had no calendar of their
own, but reckoned the years according
to the customs of the nations to which
they belonged. The Roman Christians
used the "Anna Urbis Conditiae" or
year of the founding of Rome, to count
from; others counted from the reign
of DiOcletian, calling 1t "the Era Of the
Martyrs" and still others used the
calendar of the Copts of Egypt. In the
sixth century Denis the Little, Greek
monk living in Rome, made calendar
counting from the Incarnation, the
date Of which he fixed at 1853 A. U. @.
So we commonly say that Rome was
founde din 753 B. G. At the beginning
of the eighth century, the venerable
Bede pointed out that this was an his
torical blunder. But no general no.
tlce was taken of his criticism, and the
error has continued to this day. His
toric facts have enabled modern schOl-
ars to determine, without much pos
sibility of doubt, the exact year of the
birth of Jesus, and to place 1t at what
we call b. G.

Disk Harrow.

at an angle to the draft so as to make
the disks cut anglewise, a sort Of
light blowing or turning of the soil is
effected, which is very advantageous
for narrowing in grain which has been
sown broadcast by hand.
Nowadays, however, hand broadcast
ing Of grain Is not common enough to
lend value to this use of the disk. The
disk does good work in rough land,
and in this connection meets demand
which neither the peg nor the spring
can as fully satisfy. The disk harrow
has no rival in cutting up a plOwed
sod without lifting it, and as 1t can be
set to do practically everything any
other harrow can do, is a splendid all
around cultivating tool.

FARM
ANIMAL
SEPARATE BOAR FROM sOWS
Practice Of Permitting Him to Hun
With Herd Is Frowned Upon by
Many Swine Breeders.

The practice Of letting the boar run
with the Saws is generally frowned
upon by swine breeders. There are
many reasons why the herd does bet
ter If the boar is kept separate. He
worries the rest Of the hogs as well as
himself when he is with the herd. The
waste and possible injury to the boar
by too much breeding, If more than
one sow comes in heat at the same
time, is useless and can be avoided
by keeping the boar alone and turning
the sow in to him. This assists in
keeping records. The owner knows
when the sow was bred. Also know
ing when she is due to farrow, he can
be prepared for this event, which may
be the cause of saving one or more
pigs. Small filters as well as weak
pigs are as often the direct results of
letting the boar run with the sows as
they are due to a poor brood SOW,
And to use a boar whose breeding
powers have been impaired by unwise
herd management is a financial loss
to the owner.

SHEEP RELISH SWEET CLOVER
Care Must Be Taken to See That Pas
lures Are Not overstocked--
Yellow Variety Best.

Sheep relish sweet clover and make
rapid gains when pastured on 1t. Care
must be taken to see that pastures are
not overstocked with sheep as they are
likely to eat the plants so close to the
ground as to kill them. This is es-
pecially true the first year before the
plants have formed crown buds.
Yellow biennial sweet clover prob
ably will not suffer from this cause as
much as the white species, because the
plants make more spreading growth
and are not likely to be eaten so close
ly to the ground.
