PRODUCE INFERTILE EGGS
Kill or Sell the BOOSTERS and Save
Excessive Egg Spoilage

Florida farmers who are seek
ing top prices for eggs will dis
i pose of their roosters. A fertile
egg, one that comes from letting
the male bird run with the flock,
Twill not keep we'll and will be re-
jected by a particular market.
Many such eggs will spoil before
they can be taken to market. In
fertile eggs keep best and market
best in summer, and these can be
produced only by keeping the
rooster out Of the flock, says the
University Of Florida extension
division.
The eggs laid by a hen may be
either fertile or infertile, depend
ing on whether or not the male
bird has been allowed to run with
the female. A fertile egg is one
in which the germ has been fer
tilted. Except for this process
of fertilization, the male bird has
no influence upon the esas which
the hens lay. Egg production is
equally great in focks from which
ROSTERS are excluded.
A fertile egg does not keep as
well as an infertile one, because
the fertilized germ responds more
readily to high temperatures. 1t
is impossible to hatch an infertile
egg or to cause a blood ring to
form in one. Such eggs are more
likely to reach the table in good
condition and there is much less
spoilage in shipments.
After the Matching season, the
male birds should be removed
from the flock. In approximately
IA days after this all the eggs laid
by the hens will be infertile.
Heat is the great enemy of eggs,
both fertile and infertile. Farm
ers are urged to follow these SIM
pie rules, which cost nothing but
time and thought and will add
dollars to the poultry yard re-
turns:
Keep the nests clean; provide
one nest for every four hens.
Gather the eggs twice daily.
Keep the eggs in a cool, dry
room.
Market the eggs at least twice
week.
Sell, kill, or confne all male
birds as soon as the Matching sea-
son is over.

FOB REPRESENTATIVE

To The Voters of DeSoto County:
/ hereby announce as a candidate for
representative to the legislature from De-
Soto County, Florida, before the primary
to be held on the 4th day of June 1918
| have in mind a good many issues that
desire to discuss from time to time dur
ing the campaign At this time, however,
/ feel that there are two paramount is
sues that the voters are entitled to know
how l stand upon. These issues are ::
First:-the County division question, and
Second:-what is known as the no-fence
law.
On these points, desire to say that [
am, for several good reasons which will
discuss from time to time during the cam
paign, opposed to any division of DeSoto,
County by the next legislature.
/ am opposed to the lawlessness that
connection with the cutting of pasture
fences, and l believe the perpetrators of
these acts should be apprehended and Wig
orously prosecuted On the other hand,
unless it is necessary, l do not believe
that the next legislature should pass n
no-fence law for DeSoto County and
thereby injure the innocent as well as
punish the guilty.
1t will be a year before the next legis-
lature convenes, and in the event no other
FENCES are cut during that time or during
the session of the legislature, will be op-
posed TO the passage of no-fence law.
On the other hand, if this laWlessness
continues, my best efforts will be to see
that no-fence law is passed for our
County, for lawlessness must be stamped
out, II 1t takes a no-fence law to do it

Fruit for use in pies or salads
or as stewed fruit can be put up
or canned without the use of any
sugar at all, according to the U.
University of Florida extension di-
vision. Therefore, those who, be.
cause of the high price Of sugar
have been thinking of reducing
the amount of fruit they put up
should can as much of their sur
plus as possible by the use of boil
ing water when sugar syrup is be.
yond their means.
Any fruit may be successfully
sterilized and retained in the pack
by simply adding boiling water
instead of the hot syrup. The use
of sugar, of course, is desirable in
the canning of all kinds of fruits
and makes a better and ready
'sweetened product. Then, too,
most of the fruits when canned in
water alone do not retain their
natural flavor, texture, and color
as well as fruit put up in syrup.
Fruit canned without sugar to be
used for sauces or desserts must
be sWeetened.
Can the product the same day
it is picked. Gull, stem, or seed,
and clean the fruit by placing it
in a strainer and pouring water
over it until it is clean. Pack the
product snugly in glass Jars or
tin cans until they are full; use
the handle of a tablespoon, u
wooden ladle, or table knife for
packing purposes.
Pour over the fruit boiling wa
ter from kettle, place rubbers
and caps in position, partly seal
if using glass jars, seal complete
ly if using tin cans. Place the
containers in a sterilizing vat,
such as a wash boiler with false
bottom, or other receptacle pro-
vided for the purpose. If using
a hot-water bath outfit, process
for 80 minutes; count time after
the water has reached the boiling
point; the water must cover the
highest jar in the container. AT

Potatoes Are Good Food

The general use of potatoes in
the average family and the bet
ter customs prevailing in many
homes of preparing the tubers for
food are based on sound econom-
ic and dietetic reasons, says the
University of Florida extension
division. A more general use of
potatoes in the diet is to be recon-
mended.
Potatoes are easy to cook in a.
variety of ways. From the point
of view of dietetics, they furnish
starch in one readily digested
form, contain mineral substances
of Importance to the body, and
a fact less generally known-tend
to make the tissues and fluids of
the body alkaline, so counteract-
ing the tendency of meats, eggs.
fish, and like foods to create acid
conditions.
Since the body does its work
best when its condition is either
neutral or slightly alkaline, pota-
toes, like most vegetables, per-
form an important function in the
diet besides furnishing energy
producing material. This scientific
fact justifies the custom that is
prevalent in many families of
serving a goodly supply of pota-
toes or other vegetables with each
helping Of meat.
Potatoes, however, while val

OF COUNTY

Flour and sugar receipts for the
entire county are now being sorted
out at the office of c. M. Hollings-
worth, food administrator. When this
work is completed it will show just
how much flour and sugar each house

charge Of Arthur Ersland, secretary
of the Retailers association. The fol
lowing young ladies of the o. G. w.
rendered very much assistance yes
trday in compiling reports: Misses
Lois Denney, Lois ellis, Ruth Din
widdie and Helen McRee.
Mr.. Hollingsworth stated that 1t is
Of the utmost Importance that each
person sign up each time they buy
flour or sugar. He desires to keep an
actual tab on each household. He
further stated that he finds there are
numerous families who are not ad

rule. The grocer is not to blame 1oI
this as he cannot keep an exact rec

of several grocers.
"No one is going to escape" said

used too much flour or sugar will
have to answer for it. Some of thu
grocers also will find that they viii

V. II. Hulen, head of the Grady
county company of the Oklahoma
national guard company now organ

that tomorrow night Major Barrett
will be in Chickasha to give an out
line of the work to be done by the
national guardsmen, and to inspect
the local company. The meeting
will be held at the court house
promptly at 1880, as it is necessary
for Major Barrett to catch train
for Oklahoma City before o'clock.
Mr.. Hulen urged that not only the
members Of the company be on hand
at 1880, but issues an invitation to
everyone interested in the movement
to attend the meeting and hear from
Major Barrett, the details relative
to the organization of the regiment
in this state,
That the officials of the regiment
have their eyes on the development
of the work in Chickasha is shown
by the double inspection of the To-
cal guardsmen Yesterday Capt.
Wh.oley, reginlental instructor, Was
in the city to look the boys over
and confer with Mr.. Hulen. He ex-
pressed his surprise that the compa-
ny had SO few men having actually
passed the physical examination and
signed the enlistment blanks. He
was we'll pleased, however, with tho
progress the men were making as
to their drilling.
"Why, in Pauls Valley, the compa-
ny is 400 strong" said Capt. Whit
ley There are of course a number
of these who could not hope to pass
a physical examination, but have
been drilling them twice week and
have an average of 200 present on
every drill night Chickasha is sew
eral times larger than Pauls Valley
and it is surprising that more en-
rollments have not been secured.
