INFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST
Fertile Germ in Hot Weather Quickly
Becomes Blood Ring, Spelling
Egg for Market.

| prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Farmers lose millions of dollars an
nually from bad methods of produc-
ing and handling eggs. One-third Of
this loss is preventable. because it
Is due to the partial Matching of fer
tile eggs which have been allowed to
become warm enough to begin to in
cubate.
The rooster makes the egg fertile.
The fertile egg makes the blood ring.
You can save the money now lost from
blood rings by keeping the male bird
from your flock after the Matching
season is over.
The rooster does not help the hens
to lay. He merely fertilizes the germ
of the egg. The fertile germ in hot
weather quickly becomes a blood ring,
which spoils the egg for food and
market. Summer heat has the same
effect on fertile eggs as the hen or
incubator.
After the Matching season cook, sell,
or pen your rooster. Your hens not
running with male bird Will produce
infertlle eggs-quality eggs that keep
best and market best.
Rules for handling eggs on the
farm: Heat is the great enemy of
eggs, both fertile and infertile. Farm
ers are urged to follow these simple
rules, which cost nothing but time and
thought and will add dollars to the
poultry yard returns:
/. Keep the nests clean; provide
one nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.
S. Keep the eggs in a cool, dry
room or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least twice
a week.
5. Sell, kill, or confne all male
birds as soon as the Matching season
Is over.

particularly bad the use of the hopper
dozer is advisable.
There are three or four generations
OF the green clover worm a season, ac-
cOrdjng 10 the bulletin, which allows
maple time for the insect to increase
greatly in Il summer. The caterpillarS
are killed in considerable numbers by
natural insect enemies, but this
method of control can not be relied
upon for protection of the alfalfa
crop. The alfalfa should be moved
when the insect is in the caterpillar
or worm stage-from ten days to
three weeks after the time of the ap-
pearance of the moths in great abun-
dance To insure success the field
should he left as clean and bare as
possible in order to remove the food
supply and any shelter protecting
theta from the direct rays of the sun,
which hastens their destruction.
Clear Fields of Insects.
IF these measures can not be carried
out without injury to the alfalfa
either from premature cutting or too
prolonged delay, wait until the alfalfa
is ready for another cutting. 1t ought
10 be possible, however, before the
sumner is passed to clear the fields
of this insect in this manner
in The eastern states premature cut
ting often results in permanent injury
10 alfalfa, especially while it is young,
and for this reason the cutting of this
crop much in advance of the normal
period is not recommended.
AS the caterpillar feeds on many
different plants, ditch banks and fence
rows should be kept free from weeds.
The caterpillars have been caught
readily by dragging a field with hop
PertlOZer. such as Is used for grass
hopper outbreaks. 1t does not hurt the
alfalfa when not used to excess, and
Will catch many injurious insects.

It Is not usual to use this color for

cannot be too pronounced or too bril-

cOrporated with a capital stock Of
$1,000, and a manager employed to
handle its affairs.
Receipts during the first five months
of operation amounted to $500, and
recent reports show that members of
the association have on hand more than
six thousand Barred Plymouth Rock
hens and pullets. In the spring of 1916
they sold 1000 capons on northern

Before the Farmville association was
formed poultry keeping in that locality
was merely incidental, an unimportant

Today poultry keeping is one of the
important industries of that region,

EARLY FRUITS MOST DESIRED
Light Soils With Southern Exposure
Are Best Adapted for Purpose
Liable to Injury.

Early fruits are usually most de-
sIrable, and light soils, with southern
exposure, are best adapted for that
purpose. Light soils. however. require
heavy fertilizing and more mulch In
summer. They are also more liable
10 Lrjury to drought AS a rule, they
produce lighter crops. If clay soil is
ased for early berries, it must be we'll
drained, is more difficult to prepare,
natures later crops, and is not so ia

ness is not q consideration, then one
should not hesitate to use any soil,

LETTERS FROM OUR

Carisey, France, Jan. 21 1919 Evening Star Rebekah Lodge No. 15, II. O. O. F.,
 Dear Sisters and Brothers:
 q received your most welcome let ter on September 18th and you will never know how much I appreciated same, and to know that we are never forgotten by those we left behind often think of those good times We used to have and hoping it won't be long before we can all gather as in the days gone by. The day your letter was written we were giving old Fritz the devil as we opened fire on them at 11:30 in the evening and never let up until seven thirty in the mornig ad never lost man. We were having some great times dodg- ing washtubs. flat irons, wash boilers tin cans, etc., and thinking it was all over and crawled out of our holes and looked around and got out in time to see his air fleet coming cur way to see what was going on over on our side, but somehow or other he would not stay very long for we made it hot for them. It is a wonderful sight to see an air battle and all at once coming to the ground on fire. It's a sight one will never forget. guess you all heard that I was wound ed. I arrived in the base hospital on October 5th, and was there until November 18th. and when I left my regiment was the last time I saw any of the home boys, and thinking all time that I would get to go back ] to them again but did not. After leaving the hospital thinking all the time I was on my way to my com pany but every step taken I was that much further away. The. day after the Armistice was signed the French people just opened their doors and we had one grand time. I was in Foul, France at the time. It was a day all nations will never forget and especially those that fought fer four long years. Being that the war is over we are all wondering when We are going home and can hardly wait for the day to arrive. What a glorious day that will be to us all I have not as yet captured any French girls, although there are lots of them over here and they would all be glad to marry a Sammy for they have great ideas of the Amreican boys and think well of them. We are having rather cold weather at present and it would not be so bad if it did not rain so much.
