CONVERT BRUSH INTO
PERMANENT PASTURE
Most Farms All Over Country
Have Some Such Acres.
Department Of Agriculture Points Out
That Few Acres at Time Can Be
Cleared When Other Work
Is Not Pressing.

There are many hundreds of thou.
sands of acres of land grown up in
brush that should be in permanent pas
ture. Most farms all over the country
have some such acres. With labor as
high as Ii Is at present many farmers
figure that they cannot afford to clear
brush land for pasture, but the United
States department of agriculture points
out that the labor employed on prac-
tically any farm can be utilized to
clear from one to a few acres of brush
land every year at times when regular
farm work cannot be done. The brush
can be cleared away at any time, Of
course and after 1t Is off the ground
may be plowed at intervals when the
titled fields are too wet for blowing
Every acre Of land cleared and put in
permanent pasture means an invest
ment that will pay dividends through
a lifetime. The kinds of grass to sow
vary with the locality. The department
Of agriculture has conducted extensive
Investigations to determine the best
methods of making permanent pastures
I'm the various sections of the country.
Literature and other information on
the subject may be had by writing the
department.

egg, or to hatch one that Is infcrtile.
To Produce InfertIe Eggs.
As soon as the Matching season is
over, or enough eggs for patching pur-
poses have been laid. the rooster
should be pcnned, cooked, or sold.
The hens not running with male
bird will then produce infertile eggs
the kind that command the best
prices.
The fertile egg is the one from
which chick may he Matched. 1t
Spoils very quickly when handled by
the ordinary farm methods, and when
marketed in the hot summer months.
Summer heat spells n fertile egg as
quickly as sitting hen or an incu-
batOr.
Remove the Rooster.
Occasionally hens running with
male birds will lay infertile eggs. This
is often the case with birds that do
not have green feed. that are over
fat. or that are confined in yards and
runs; but for all the flock to produce
infertile eggs for stated period, 1t
is necessary to remove the rooster,
Heat is a grea: enemy of eggs, both
fertile and infertile For this reason
they should be kept In "A cool, dry
room or cellar until they are mar
ketPd-at most, not more than three
days.

Fifteen million dollars is a lot Of
money, but that is the amount that
the United States department of agri-
culture estimates farmers lose every
year through bad methods of produC-
Ing eggs. This loss is due to the par
tial Matching Of fertile eggs which
have been allowed to become warm
enough to inCubate. 1t is n preventa-

Assure lnfertile Eggs.
An infertile egg Is one laid by a
hen that has not been allowed to run
with n male bird. After the male
bird has been removed from the hens.
two weeks is ordinarily long enough
to assure the laying of infertile eggs.
Contrary to the general impression,
the male bird in flock has no in
fuence on the number of eggs the
hens will lay. The rooster merely fer
tiliZeS the germ of the egg. This is
not necessary, or even desirable, when
the eggs are to be used for table pur-
poses, or are to be sent to market.
Infertile eggs will keep in good con-
ditiOn in temperatures where fertile
eggs will not. 1t is impossible to cause
a blood ring to form in an infertile

superstition against the good roads
movement.
Now, however, when the farmer
finds that his land has trebled In val

he has telephOned in the mornings can
be delivered by noon Of the same day !;
when the market for his own produce
is brought hours nearer; when the
winter and its following spring thaw
possess no terrors for him-al this
because of the improved highway
which makes his farm only suburb,

naturally becomes Woodworking and

CARPET GRASS SEED DEMAND
Crop Should Be Handled Just as Lit
tie as Possible to Avoid
Shattering.

The demand for carpet grass seed
Is far in excess of the supply. All
farmers who are favorably located are
urged to harvest seed to sell. Carpet
grass seed is a very profitable crop.
The department of agriculture tells
how to harvest 1t. as follows:
Cut the grass with a mower and
handle as little as possible to avoid
loss from SCATTERING.
Thrash with fail on a tight floor
or upon canvas IL the quantity of
straw Is small. If the crop is large a
thrashing machine is desirable and the
air intakes to the fan should be re-
duced or cut Off entirely to avoid
blowing the light seed. Do not let
the separating apparatus vibrate too
rapidly.
A sieve with a mesh one-twentieth
of an inch In size will clean carpet
grass seed satisfactorily.
Carpet grass seed well cleaned
weighs IS pounds to the bushel.

Road Is Different.

While gravel, as a rule, does not
make the best type of road. that is
not so much the fault Of the gravel
as of the way it is put on. 1t is usu

properly handled a gravel road can
at least be travelled on any time of
the year, which cannot be said of
