Feed Affect. Flavor of Egg Yoke.

Feed Affects Flavor ot Egg rokes
 In extreme cases the flavor and odor of the hens feed have been i'm parted to the egg. Onions have been fed in sufficient quantity to bring about this effect. Those who desire to market first-class article should not give feeds of high and objection able flavor to their f1ocks. !.
 In no case should tainted feed be allowed to enter the ration. Feed also has an influence on the color of the yolk. Corn fed exclusively will give a deep yellow or highly colored yolk, while wheat fed alone will pro- duce much lighter yolk. A fairly high colored yolk is usually preferred and can usually be obtained by feed ing moderate amount of corn. Plenty of green feed also enriches the color of the yolk.

Seed Tests May be Made With
 Homemade Equipment

Homemade Equipment
 Seed tests sufficiently accurate to answer all practical purposes can be made by a beginner with very little practice, say specialists of the Uni ted States Department of Agricul- ture. The younger members of the home circle should find such work not only comparatively easy but very interesting. Testing of locally grown seed is aided by the possession of correctly named set of the seeds of crops and of weeds prevailing in the vicinity.
 Only such apparatus is needed in making practical seed tests as en- ables one to use weighed quantity of seed from the smaple, to separate the pure seed from the foreign seeds and other impurities, to distinguish the character of the foreign seeds, and to make the germination test.
 Only by/using g weighed quantity of seed can one determine the reIa- tive quantities of pure and of impure seeds in, the sample, This requires balance sufficiently sensitive to be moved by 3 small weight, such as that of a few clover seed. But a balance of this kind, designed to rest on the edge of knife blade, can be made, from two lead pencils, two cardboard disks, two pieces of wire, some rubber bands, alarming needle, a common brass pin, and two bits of boarad. The only equipment needed consists of few BIB shots, flattened to be used as weights. With this balance, if the pure seed from a sample balances 10 shots and the impurities balance one shot, the sample is shown to be 90 per cent pure. Some shots may be cut into halves, quarters, eights, and six teenths for fractional weights.
 Such other apparatus as is desir-

OUR FARMERS CORNER

of an extended use of a better class of sires is apparent, and while 40 per- cent of the number are of pure breeding it must be said that there is a considerable proportion of these that are not worthy of the position that they fill. Therefore, in herd improvement, it is absolutely neces- sary that we recognize that there is a great difference in the transmitting ability, even of purebreds.
 Bulls of mixed breeding are rec ognized by every one as scrubs. While grades may be, and often are, satisfactory performers, they cannot be depended upon so well as breed CTS. A good ratio of successful per formers can be had by breeding grade cows to purebred bulls, but in using the grade bull, even, though he be fairly good as an individual, the reward is mediocre offspring, as an average. Hence, as breeding prop .osition, the grade sire is "scrub" breeder. Likewise, the purebred sire whose ancestors are at the foot of the line in productivity, cannot trans init the superior qualities of his breed. Measured by results he is a scrub" pure bred.
 But when one ties 1p his live stock operations with the purebred, espe- cially the carefully selected sire, he is playing a game with the odds greatly in his favor.

Kids and Calves

Fourteen boys and girls of Fair field County, Conn.,, organized. a Hol- stein Heifer Calf Club year ago. Each of the fourteen youngsters purchased heifer calf of the Hol- stein breed and undertook the feed ing and care of the animal under di- rection of the club leader of Fairfield County.
 At the end of their first year of ownership, every member of the club is still enthusiastic and taking good care of his calf. These animals were displayed at the Danbury Fair this fall and attracted great deal of att tention. In fact, Several offers were made for the calves but none of the club members would sell. They in tend to raise their calves to maturity and look forward to the time when the sale of milk will begin to pay re- turns on the time and money in vested.

What is a Scrub Sire?

8 many purebred dairy herds as any state in the Union. There are also a considerable number of high class : sires of different breeds and several herds with national reputation, ac- cording to Prof. G. C.. White of the Dairy Department at Connecticut Agricultural College, Storrs. In spite of these facts, however, there is an appallingly large number of grade and scrub males used for breeding purposes.
 In 1918, an agricultural survey was taken through the Farm Blu rsauk of Holland, Hartford, New Ha- ven. Fairfield and Litchfield Counties Ih the four first named counties, ain0hg other things, the number of puYxbfed and grade sires of the dairy breeds were listed.
 The survey shows the four coun- ties as d whole to have 8S2, or 40 per cent, purebred bulls. It shows that 675, or 31 per cent, were of grade breeding and GAP, or 29 per cent, were ufclassified.m It is per- fectly safe to call the finclassiisd lot n6ngrels or grades s'2Swhich z would leave the purebreds sides 40 per cent against 60 per cent whose pedigree Of blood line is an unknown quantity

Ice House Location Vital

Selection of site for an ice house is very important. Other conditions being suitable, the ice house on a dairy farm should be placed as near as possible to the milk house, in or der to reduce the labor of handling and to encourage the more liberal
 SC of ice. On a general farm the ice house should be located near the residence. To facilitate drainage the ground on which the ice house stands should be porous and slope from the building. Advantage also may be taken of the nearness of hills, trees, or buildings, which often afford protection from hot winds, thus saving ice. Under or dinary circumstances from about 1s to ton of ice per COW is needed annually for cooling cream. and from F to 2, tons for cooling milk on dairy farm.

Augusta To Be Scene OF
Huge Salvage Oper-

AUGUSTA, Oct. 28.-The repre-
sentative of the Sales Corporation,
W. P. O'Toole, Washington, D. c.,
is in Augusta for the purpose of sal
vaging leftover war material which
is stored in government warehouses
out on Fifteenth street. This cor
poration has purchased from the
government 100000 rounds of
ammunition now stored in Augusta,
at a cost of 10 cents per thousand
rounds for the purpose of securing
the brass and copper in the shell.
For some of this ammunition the
government paid cents per round,
or 5000 times what it was sold for
This corporation has a steel tank
four feet wide, four feet high and
eight long, having a cubic measure
ment of 1913 cubic feet, and large
enough to hold 100000 cartridges
at one time. This tank is filled with
cartridges and fire built under it,
which explodes every cartridge CON
tanned in the tank The head is
thrown away, but the shell is saved
for the brass and copper value it has.
Eight million of these cartridges
are eight millimeter shells and were
purchased from the French govern
ment. The other four million being
incendiary shells, which were used in
the war in air fighting. Mr. O'Toole
states that his corporation, after
salvaging these 100000 cart
ridges, will bring other ammunition
here to salvage, it having purchased
large quantities of war stores from
the Russian government.
The exploding of these shells, says
Mr.. O'Toole, makes quite a peculiar
noise, which can be heard about two
thousand feet, but the echo is still
more meird and uncanny. But it is
causing no fear to those who reside
in the close proximity where the ex-
