Many More Elemental Eggs
Than Any Hen Can Develop

A pullet at maturity has a certain
number of elemental eggs which may
be developed. Counts at the Maine ex-
pertinent station show from 1000 to
$500. More recent Investigations show
even greater numbers. There are al
ways a great many more elemental
eggs than any hen is capable OF de-
veloping.
The rapidly with which eggs are
developed will depend upon the hens
Inherited ability to produce eggs and
upon the feed and management Of the
flock
Profits from the flock will depend
upon securing as many eggs as pos
sible during the first couple of years
of each hens life. In addition TO
proper housing and feeding we must:
]. Breed from the best layers.
2. Hatch chicks early so that pull
lets will be ready for winter egg pro-
duction.
3. Break breody hens as soon as
possible and thus avoid long resting
periods.

Troublesome Weeds
a Menace to Alfalfa
prepared by the United states Department
OF Axriculturel

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture-l
Weeds are, perhaps. the greatest
enemy Of the alfalfa crop, says the
United States Department of Agrlcul-
ture. Dodder, which acts as a para
site on alfalfa plants, is very objec.
tionable in seed-producing districts. 1t
doe not ordinarily give much trouble
IN fields that are devoted entirely to
the production Of hay, but neyerthe-
less there is great prejudice against
seed contaminated with dodder, and
states have stringent laws against
the selling OF seed containing 1t. 1t Is
relatively easy TO kill out patches Of
dodder ir a hay field.
Other troublesome weeds are blue
grass and quack-grass In northeastern
United States; c~rab-grass and Ber-
muda-grass In the central and southern
states and foxtall or wild millet In
the Middle West and the great plains.
In the irrigated sections of the West
the wild barleys, also known as fox
tail and squirrel-tail grass. are decid-
euly troublesome, as h boards ruin
the first crop of hay for feeding unless
1t Is cut very early.
Where weeds are troublesome In the
West, wheat is sometimes drilled in
the alfalfa In the fall. and as 1t comes
on early the growth of weeds is
checked. The first cutting of hay the
following spring consists of a mixture
OF alfalfa and wheat. Cultivation OF
established stands of alfalfa may help
to hold weeds in check, but unless
done with considerable care the crop
may suffer. The best way to fight
weeds is to make conditions so favor
able for alfalfa that they are smoth-
cred out.
When weeds become abundant In an
alfalfa field 1t Is usually better to
pillow up the field and make a fresh
start than to try to rogue them out.

Hog Is Most Efficient in
Making Use of By-Products

With few exceptions, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
there is feed enough wasted on every
farm In the country TO make the pork
and pork products consumed on that
farm. The hog is more efficient than
other farm animals In making use of
the farm by-products. With the hen the
hog will select and utilize the whole
some parts of unsound and unmarked
able grains, refuse from truck crops,
and by-products from the dairy. This
is one reason why hogs are used on
such a large proportion of our farms.
But the hogs principal article of diet
is corn, and the secretary of agrlcul-
ture has remarked hat "our hog crop
erv as a slow absorber for the vari-
alton In production of our corn crop
year by year. thus ironing u the ir-
Irregularities In corn prices"

Soy Beans to Replace
Alfalfa in Lamb Feed

The use of soy beans to replace
alfalfa In lamb feeding was given a
trial during the past winter at the Tli-
nois station. Results obtained from
q ration of corn and soy bean hay
were practically as good as from the
standard ration OF corn and alfalfa
hay. When whole or ground soy beans
with soy bean straw were fed In place
Of the hay, the results were less salts
factory, the gains being lower and the
feed consumption higher.
The two lots fed alfalfa hay and
soy bean hay gained at the rate Of a
third OF a pound per head per day.
On the basis of feed requirements for
100 pounds of gain. the alfalfa-fed
lambs ate six pounds less corn but six
pounds more hay than those fed soy
bean hay. This showing would indi-
cate that soy bean hay of good quail
ity makes a very acceptable substl-
tute for alfalfa.

to 234,551 bushels In 1920.
The grading Of certified seed pota-

and requirements are equally strict in
all localities. Certified seed must live

The men were injured when the
Dempsey-G Gibbons advertising plane
was taking off from the local landing
field. They were en- route to Butte,
having stopped here overnight on a trip
from Shelby to Butte and return.
The plane had been started twice by
Pilot Vance In an effort to take off,
but each time he found the wind had
shifted. He had just started the third
time and was only off the ground
travelling at a rate of approximately 20
miles an hour when the wind again
shifted, throwing the machine to the
east and setting their course directly
toward a telephone line. The landing
gear caught on the telephone pole and
the right wing struck the wire at the
same time p%lunging the ship TO earth.
Vance. uninjured. climbed from the
wreck, cut the electric wires to avoid

ions, all unconscious. from the wreck

Johnson suffered a compound frac-
ture OF the right arm and severe
bruises about the head and body: Mo-
lumby's back and shoulder were badly
sprained. and the only scratch on
Vance was a slight cut on his right
jaw.
Major Lane was the worst injured
of the four. Several of his ribs were
broken and his chest was crushed and

Milk indispensable in

ing of the chicken houses and spray
ing with a suitable dislnfectant having
a sufficient body Is all that Is neces-
sary. All roosts, loose boards. and

lnfectant applied In the form OF a
rather coarse spray. using a suitable
pump. Some OF the best materials for
the purpose are the so-called wood pre-
servers which consist of anthracene
oil and zinc Chord. AS a mixture of
this kind is a little too heavy to spray
well, 1t may be thinned with an equal
part of the kerosene. Crude petroleum
is almost equally effective and is
usually cheaper. II should be thinned
by adding one part OF kerosene to four
parts Of crude oil.

Better Marketing.
The fundamentals of better market
ing of cowpeas are better preparation
for market and rare In determining the
time of marketing and In selecting the
agency through which the crop is sold.
Better preparation for market includes
recleaning, after ~threshing or hulling,
so as to remove all foreign matter and
lightweight and broken seeds and the
use OF sound sacks, securely tied or
sewed. The services of ~recleaning and
sacking necessarily carry a cost with
them. hut by performing these services
Or the farm the grower viii receive an
Increased price for his cowpeas.
Unstable markets for cowpeas are
found to be due largely to the variation
In demand and uncertainty of produc-
lion In any section from year TO year.
The demand for cowPeas is limited and
Is affected by the buying power of the
farmer. the quality Of the crop for
planting purposes and the comparative
price and supply of seed of other
crops, notably soy beans and velvet
beans. which compete In the crop rota-
ton. Geographical preference for va
is also an important factor In
The commercial distribution OF COW
peas.
Selling Price Varies.
The selling price of cowpeas varies
