Skim milk is considered by the
poultry specialists very desirable for
chicks during the first week. In
order to insure that all chicks get
the milk it is advisable to dip the
chicks beak in milk before it gets
any other food. (This can best be
done when removing chicks from
the incubator.) Give milk to drink
as long as it is available.

SOME EGG SHIPPING DON'TS'
Department of Agriculture Offers Few
Practical Hints for Benefit of
Poultrymen.

Here are some "dOnt's" offered by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture that many times mean the diff
ference between a loss or a profit In
shipping carload eggs:
Don't waste time and labor by using
cheap cases; time and labor are pre-
CiOus.
Don't save pennies by buying poor
filters and flats when you lose dollars
in broken eggs. The saving of one egg
would pay for the extra cost of a set
Of No. filters!
Don't nail braces to sides of car
against an incomplete top layer; they
seldom hold in place and often are the
cause of damage. They injure the eff
ficiency Of the car insulation. The use
Of small under-case braces will prevent
all of this.
Don't waste ice and refrigeration by
slowing the load so as to make air cir
culation in the car impossible.
Don't tie up your money in freight
claims because of loose load. Tie up
the load and leave the money loose to
work again.

IMPURITIES IN CLOVER SEED
In Recent Purchase North Carolina
Farmer Finds Weed Seeds Of
Various Kinds.

A farmer in Rowan county, N. c.,
was about to purchase some clover
seed last spring from one of his neigh
bOrs, preparatory to seeding down his
wheat acreage. He noticed that the
seed was somewhat impure, and was
reminded Of the warnings 50 frequent
~ given by the county agent in re-
spect to pure seed. He asked to have
small sample tested for purity by
the state seed laboratory at Raleigh.
The sample was reported on merely
as mo. o. Each pound was found to
contain approximately 65,062 buck
horn seeds, 2,2S2 dodder, 1922 wild
carrot, 2,20S black-seeded plantain,
Ala curled dock, 276 Venus looking
glass. 1873 each Of crag grass and green
foxtail--a total Of S3,140 weed seeds
in each pound. This would, no doubt,
be sufficient to seed the mans land
to these pests for the next decade.
Although this sample was the worst
of any tested through the county
agents office, on casual inspection II
indicated only ordinary impurity.
A laboratory test is safe check even
on the purest farm seeds.

Must Aid Sterilization.
That sterilization of agricultural pro-
ductiOn, which is highly desirable from
the standpoint of business as well as
of the producer and the consumer, can
only come when farmers generally are
able so to shape their paintings that,
with normal weather, the acreage
planted will produce the approximate
quantity required to meet the consum-
ing demand. Until this is accom-
plished, seasons of shortage with
prices painfully high to the consumer
are certain to be experienced. Along
with these will come years Of excess
sive production in which the producer
is compelled to bear destructive loss
because prices are below the cost of
production. For the correction Of
this destructive alienation of too lit
tie and too great crop production the
development of effective control of
plant pests is one Of the most impor-
tant factors.

SODIUM FLUORID EFFICIENT
Recently Discovered lnsectclde for
Fowls Is Cheaply and Quickly
Applied.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Nothing has given so much salts
faction in getting rid Of chicken lice as
sodium fiuorid, used by poultry spe-
ment of Agriculture. 1t kills adults
and young lice, including the young
which emerge from eggs present at the
time of treatment.
Sodium fluOrid can be obtained in
two forms known as commercial and
as chemically pure. Both of these
are in the dry state, the first being
dry powder and the second in small
crystals, somewhat lumpy. While the
chemically pure material Is effective,
1t Is not so easily applied by the dust
ing method as the more finely pow
d6red commercial form, and further
more, it costs more. The commercial
grade should contain 80 to 9S per cent
sodium fluorid.
This material Is the sodium salt of
the chemical element known as fluOrin,

to ordinary table salt, which is known
chemically as sodium Chord. In ask
ing for sodium fluorid, therefore, it is
important that the name, 'fiuOrid," be
carefully stated to the druggist.
If the proper methods are followed
remarkable control is obtained. One
thorough application of sodium fuorid
to all fowls will destroy completely
all the lice present. 1t is essential,
however, to see that treatment is
thorough, and that every fowl is treat
ed. 1t may be applied in two forms
as a dry dust and as dip. In the
dust form the action of sodium tiuOrid
Is comparatively slow; hence, if exam
ined the next day after treating, or
even two or three days later, a few
lice may be found, but the material
persists, and after four or five days all
lice disappear. 1t kills, too, all lice
emerging from eggs on the feathers
For best results small amounts of the
material should be placed on different
parts Of the infested fowls.
Specialists have found what they
call the pinch method" to be entirely
effective against lice, and to have the
advantage Of economy of time and ma
tertal. The material Is placed in an
open vessel on table, the fowl is
held by the wings or legs in one hand,
while with the other hand a small
pinch Of chemical is placed among the
feathers next to the skin in this
way One pinch on the head, one on
the neck, two on the back, one on the
breast, one below the vent, one on
the tail, one on either thigh, and one
scattered on the underside of each
wing spread. Each pinch can be dis
tributed somewhat by pushing the

visable when busting to hold the
chickens over large shallow pan, as
in this way the amount Of material
ordinarily lost is recovered.
The material may be applied with
shaker, but this method has disad-
vantages when compared with the
pinch method. The material Is shaken
into the feathers with one hand while
the feathers are opened with the
other. A second person is nesded to
hold and turn the fowl. In this
method the amount of sodium fiuorid

finely powdered material such as road

young turkeys, and indeed all newly
Matched fowls the busting method is
recommended rather than dipping.
This applies also to sick fowls.

But spectacular and widespread de-

only harm worked by plant diseases.
Every season and in substantially ev-

take heavy toll on crop production.
Their existence without control con-
Stitutes one of the chief hazards which
the farmer encounters, increasing his
cost of production and ultimately the
price which consumers must pay.
1t has been difficult to determine
even approximately the amount of
damage done by plant diseases, but
very careful estimates recently made
by the pathOlogsts of the state eX
pertinent stations and the Department
Of Agriculture indicate that in 1919
the production of ten of the important
cereal, fruit and vegetable crops was
reduced more than 650000,0O0 bush

does not include damage due to in
sects nor to adverse climatic condi-
lions.

is best for digging them and great care
should be taken to avoid spearing or
cutting them in digging. Only a small
quantity should be turned out at once
as they will become sunburned if ex-
posed more than an hour or two.
Store potatoes in a cool, dry place
where they will get plenty of ventila-
tlOn and be in the dark. Potatoes must
not be allowed to freeze either before
they are dug or while in storage. A
good, COOL well-ventlated cellar or
storm cellar forms a suitable storage
place for potatoes and under proper
conditions will keep through the win
ter and into the early summer. An
other method is to bury the potatoes
in pit outdoors and cover them so
that frost cannot get to them.

SAVE CORN FOR EXTRA SEED
Excellent Plan to Select Enough to
Serve for Two or Three Years
Paintings.

When corn Is selected from the field
for seed, the United States Department
of Agriculture urges that enough seed
be selected to serve for two or three
years paintings. This is essential in
the Origination and perpetuation Of
high-yielding varieties adapted to local
conditions. Seed corn that natures
well and dries out promptly without
injury will keep its good terminating
and yielding power for four or five
years. Often bad season will pre-
vent the selection Of desirable corn for
seed. But homegrown seed corn Of
the best quality can be always avail

from moisture and from insects and
