Cherish good for itself, thy grain; Such motives sordidly selfish, and vain, In deeds blessing all, and with hearts gushing o'er Flowing to the of love evermOre.

change for other
20 acres clover pasture: Seasons grazing
for 20 breeding cows.
20 acres permanent grass pasture: Grazing
for 20 yearling cattle on feed for De-
cember shipment.
In the above, sheep would be grazed
as follows:
Ten acres forage crops.
L On winter wheat
2 On grass pasture with yearling cattle.
3. With COWS on clover pasture
4 On clover meadow after hay cut.
8. On grain stubbIe.
6 In cornfelds after silage cut or corn
harvested.
z. On winter wheat
At other times on rape, soy beans, or
other grazing crops on 10-acre field IN

Such a plan as this allows sufficient
" frequent change of pasture without
any part Of the flock going upon land
that has previously carried sheep in
the same year. The forage crop land
is a safety measure for reliance in
case Of shortage OF other feeds and
could regularly be used for carrying

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-)

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 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 a male bird will produce
infertiIe 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:
1. Keep the nests clean; provide
one nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.
5. 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.

In any system Of continuous farm
sheep raising the health question is Of
primary Importance. This question is
chiefly one of internal parasites, and
of these the stomach worm is the most
widely distributed and the most seri-
GUS Fortunately, the trouble is en-
tirely susceptible of practical control,
and the methods of prevention are
exactly in line with the practices that
result in most economical production.
1t is possible, though doubtful, that
the permanent farm flock can be main
tanned in maximum health when
grazed entirely on permanent grass
pastures. A system OF division Of
grass land into sufficient parts to
allow frequent long periods without
sheep and use of longer grass for cat
tie will assist materially. Such q
plan, combined with occasional use
of medicine to prevent too serious in
lection, may prove to be practical.
The basis of success in the farm
sheep business is in the frequency Of
changing to pastures which have not
had any opportunity to become in
tested with stomach worms by older
sheep. These frequent changes are
particularly necessary during the stay
OF the young lambs upon the farm.
The older sheep are less susceptible
to the effects of the infection, though
danger of their being injured thereby
is not to be overlooked. The plan of
frequent changes to fresh feed can be
adapted advantageously to the most
economical systems Of using high
priced land in the rotation of crops to
produce feed and forage for other
kinds of live stock.

individual in the best possible form,
and to keep it so.
Weeks or even months in advance of
the fair the boy must start getting his
calf or pig tame. At particular time
it may be necessary to pare the pigs
tOenaiIs so that he will stand up
straight without too much bend at the
paSterns. But he must be careful not
to pare them too close. A limping pig
is not likely to be a prize winner. Sew
eral weeks before the fair he should
trim the hair out Of the pigs ears, be-
ing careful to do it in such a way that
the ears will not be irregular In out
line. He should provide clean wal
low for the pig to keep the hair and
skin soft and pliabIe-and he ought
to know the trick of the trade that a
little oil on the surface of the water
helps a great deal; also that little
nnseed meal, properly fed to the pig,
puts a peculiar gloss on the hair.
He must remember TO have the right
kind of crate ready in plenty of time.
Many boys have failed to get their
pigs to the fair because, when the time
came to ship, there was no crate. The
department has special sets of specifi-
cations for pig crates, calf crates and
others. very important thing to re-
member in connection with the crate
is that the pig grows at pretty rapid
clip. The crate must be built big
enough for the pig. not when the crate
is made but allowing for growth be
tween then and fair time. And it
must not be big enough to permit the
pig to turn around. The boy must re-
member that the pig should not be fed
just before shipping. No matter how
much the little rascal cries for corn
he must not be INDUCED. IF he is fed
he is very likely to get sick on the
train and go through the whole fair
in a droopy, drowsy. unprizelike-Iook-
ing way.
Prizes Are Not All.
These are just a few of the things
that must be remembered in preparing
a pig for the fair And there are
equally many with regard to the calf,
or the dairy COW, or the poultry, or
any Of the things, practically, that the
boy or girl, man or woman wants to
exhibit at the fair.
Even with all the care possible the
animal or other product may not be a
prize winner. There can't be prizes
for every exhibitor The fair that tries
to arrange things so that everybody
can get a prize does not amount to
much usually. It does not mean any
thing to win a prize when you are the
only exhibitor in your class. And, as
| the experts in the department of agri-
culture point out, the prize is not the
main thing after all. To be sure the
! boys and girls and men and women
who get things ready for the fair are
contributing to an education for the
public-but the main thing for them
| is the education they get themselves.
''Take part in the contest" say the
experts. ''fOr your own sake. You viii
have a better pig. a better calf, a bet
ter pound of butter, a better can Of
| peaches next year by reason Of having
/ exhibited this year, whether you win
or not And. with proper attention to
preparation, the prizes are sure TO

SALT POISONING OF SWINE
Whenever Used for Pigs It Should
Be Mixed With Feed or Used In
a Conditioner.

Salt poisoning OF hogs is not OF
rare occurrence, according to an ar
ticle by H G. H Kernkamp, Univer-
sity Farm, St. Paul, reprinted from
the Cornell Veterinarian. Pigs, says
Mr. Kernkamp, should not be given
salt as other farm animals are. When
ever salt is used for pigs it should
be mixed with the feed or used as
one OF the ingredients Of a tonic or
conditioner. It should never be placed
IN container alone where the hogs
have free access to it.

they sold 1000 capons on a northern
