ESSENTIALS FOR BEST EGGS
Proper Proportions Of Sound Grains
Oyster Shell and Clean Quarters
Are Necessary. >

Just because an egg is freshly laid
by an apparently healthy hen it cannot
be assumed that it is a good egg. Hens
that are forced to obtain the greater
proportion of their living as scaven-
gers and given a poor range to work on
cannot produce eggs Of as good quail
ity as can a flock which regularlyFis
fed q good ration. &&Gy
Eggs lacking protein have a watery
white and the shell is apt to be thin,
owing to the partial absence Of such
lime. Such eggs, besides being Of less
value as food, are more than likely to
bring forth puny chickens Of low VI
tally, subject to white diarrhea and
an early death. With proper quanti-
ties Of wheat, bran, clover, oyster shell
and sound grains in the ration fed to
laying hens, eggs with firm shells, rich
In protein and delicately favored are
sure to result, providing, of course,
that the flock Is given clean nests and
runs and is kept free from mites. ',:.-

Appeals to Farmers

R. M. Adams, county chairman of
the European Relief Council, is send
ing a letter to every farmer in Stew
ems county presenting the cause of
the National Collection" for the
suffering children of Central and
Eastern Europe.
Give hundred of these children"
says Mr.. Adams, "are standing at the
doors of Stevens county starving
without clothes and without friends.
We can almost see those sunken
eyes and cheeks appealing to us for
aid. If a child came to your door
starving and naked would you not
take the child in and feed and cloth
it? We know you would. These
children are not able to come but
every dollar you give will go to
them.
1--WE want every home to feed at
least one of these children until next
harvest and we enclose you pledge
due next July and if you have not
got the cash fill out this pledge and
it will be turned into money and
send either the pledge or money to
the Norris National Bank who in
turn will send direct to headquarters
and for each SO or pledge for $40
you will receive a beautiful "invisi-
BILE guest certificate" showing that
you are feeding one of those starv-
ing -translating money in
to terms of human life and this certi-
ficate should be kept at the table or
in your dining room to remind you
that although you may have to do
without some things until next July
yet you have the satisfaction of
knowing you have saved at least one
human life.
people have said we would not
be able to collect money from the
farmers without seeing them but we
have faith in the Stevens county
farmer and shall try this method
first and believe when it comes to a
cause for humanity you will respond
and we shall be anxious to see your
check or pledge"

CLEAN COWPEAS
. MOST VALUABLE
Dealer Reaps Profit for Doing
Work That the Grower Neg
IeCts to Perform.
WIDE Difference IN PRICE
Despite Commercial Shortage and
High Market Prices Producers Do
Not Sell More-SpeciaIists
Give Timely Advice.

Until the growers see fit to place
their cowpeas on the market in a
clean and attractive condition they
may expect the wide difference be-
tween the price they receive and the
wholesale price charged by the dealer to
continue, say marketing specialists of
the bureau of markets, United States
Department of Agriculture. When the
dealer is compelled to do work that
the grower fails to perform, it is the
dealer who enjoys the profits.
Marketing Factors.
According to estimates prepared by
the bureau of markets some 100000, 900
pounds of cowpeas enter commercial
channels every year. OF this quantity
70 per cent is of mixed varieties and
sold at discount of from so cents to
81 per 100 pounds. A large percentage
of it also is made up of poorly
thrashed, unclean stock containing
much foreign matter and packed in
secondhand bags, improperly sewed.
AS a result of the use of these ineffi-
cient marketing methods the average
wholesale selling price for recleaned
stock during the spring of 1920 was 60

Hazards of Gasoline

The Industrial Commission of Wis
consin has sent out warning against
the introduction of the hazards of
gasoline into the home. It says:
Put two gallons Of gasoline and
two ounces of solvite soap in wash
boiler or large dishpan and do your
dry cleaning at home is the deadly
advice of the manufacturers of SOL
vite, gasoline soap.
Put three quarts of gasoline in a
deep pail with heaping teaspoon
full of borax. Put mop in and soak
over night. In morning wash mop
in gasoline until clean, then rinse in
one quart of clean gasoline, let dry
is the equally dangerous advice of an
other on cleaning mops.
dissolve bar of good white soap
in quart of hot water, add one pint
of gasoline and one tablespoonful of
ammonia. Mix thoroughly. Scrub
small area of rug with stiff brush
dipped in this paste. Scrape UP
lather with a broad putty knife and
! wipe with damp cloth" is the vicious
advice of a third on rug cleaning at
home.
y Those three, and such as these, are
short and sure methods to join the
heavenly choir. Order the doctor,
| nurse, coroner, undertaken and fire
!, department in advance. "~.
Cleaning gloves or fabrics in gas
oline indoors, or spraying bedroom
furniture with gasoline to extermin-
ate vermin are equally dangerous
practices. During all three opera
lions the gasoline constantly evapor-
ates and the fumes mix with the
air. Being nearly three times heav-
Ter than air, they flow along the
; floor like a stream of water, lodging
in the low places, perhaps fifty feet
away from their source. The ex-
plosive force of this mixture is four
teen times greater than, dynamite,
