Small eggs, dirty eggs, old eggs OF
eggs which have been kept at a high
temperature for any length of time are
the kinds not to select for incubation,
according to a circular prepared by
the poultry husbandry department OF
the Kansas State Agricultural college,
Not all eggs from the best breeding
stock are good for Matching purposes
Often the eggs are small, uneven in
shape or poor in shell texture. Small
eggs should never be incubated, as
they do not hatch well, and pullets
from them often, lay understood eggs.
The small egg is not wanted upon the
market. The two ounce egg is the
standard in weight.
Since the egg begins to incubate
when it reaches a temperature of 6s
degrees it should be kept below that
point. From 45 to 65 degrees is the
range of temperature permissible for
eggs that are being kept for Matching
Eggs should not be kept any longer
than is absolutely necessary. IT they
are turned frequently and are kept at
the correct temperature they may be
kept for two weeks before being
placed in the incubator, but it is not
advisable to try to keep them for that
long time.

Why Wisconsin Is Known as
Badger" State and Origin
of "SuCker" for Illinois

Wisconsin is called the Badger
state, not, as most people seem to
think, because the badger formerly
abounded there, for in the past Wis
consin was never favorite home of
this little quadruped, writes a CORE
Spondent.
The familiar nickname originated
rather with the early settlement OF
southwestern Wisconsin, whose lead
mines attracted the first considerable
migration to Wisconsin. The hardy
lead miners who pushed into the por-
ton of the northwestern wilderness
intent on digging fortunes from the
earth with their picks were composed
in the main of two groups. One, made
up of men from southern Illinois and
further south, went down the Mis-
sissippi to their homes every win
ter and returned in the spring to la
Dor for another season; the other, COM
posed of miners from the Eastern
states, could not thus easily go home,
and so they 'burrowed in" for the
winter in rude shacks or huts, which
frequently were built after the fash
ion of dugouts.
The men who went south for the
winter and returned in the spring were
given the name of suckers" from the
similarity Of this practice with
that of the well-known fish of the
Mississippi, Rock and other Western
streams.
The men who wintered in the lead
mines were called badgers" They
were the first permanent settlers in
the lead mines north of the Wiscon-
sin line, and thus the name became
associated with the state.
Thus did the people of Wisconsin
and Illinois gain the popular nick
names of Badger and Sucker" by
which they have ever since been
known.

and has smelted these ores and pro-
duced ilico-manganese, an alloy con-
tanning in itself two of the essential
metals necessary in successful steel
manufacture.
Tie United States has been secured
all over for the purpose of finding
valuable manganese ores. Ores have
been found, especially in the West, in
very large amounts similar to those
ores which have been the salvation OF
the German steel industries. Ferro-
manganese can be produced from these
ores and in doing that part of the
valuable metal manganese is wasted.
Silico-manganese is produced today
from these ores on the Pacif1c coast,
with no waste of the metal manganese.
The manufacture of this silico-man-
ganese alloy opens up unlimited ore
reserves in the United States, which
have had no value. Silico-manganese
can do the same for the American
steel industries as it has already done
for the German.
