Plenty of Oyster Shell
Helpful to Egg LAYERS

Several flock owners have, at various
times, asked my opinion as to the
cause of soft-shelled eggs, says a
writer in the Successful Farming.
Hens may occasionally lay soft-shelled
egg even when supplied with plenty
Of oyster shells. Sometimes this Is
caused by an overfat condition or a
poorly balanced ration.
If any of your hens lay an occasional
soft-shelled egg, make sure that they
are getting plenty of green food and
that they are made to exercise in the
straw litter. If this is done, and the
balanced ration and oyster shell do
not put stop to the soft-shelled eggs,
you may be sure that the trouble is
due to some abnormal condition that
prevents the fowls from manufac-
turing the lime as fast as it is need
ed. When this is the case the only
cure seems to be to Gull out any hens
that are known to lay soft-shelled eggs
frequently.
Such eggs are not only frequent
loss, but the breaking and eating OF
them by the other fowls encourage
the habit of egg-eating.

DR.. KiImer's SWamp-ROol

Have you ever stopped to reason VIII.
it is that so many products that are ex.
tensively advertised all at once drop out

reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises Of the manufacturer. This

A medicinal preparation that has rea
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have beer

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

they can be kept in healthy, thrifty
condition during the winter months
they win do better on grass the fol-
lowing summer than IL heavily grain
fed during the winter.
Where pasture is available there are
three practical methods of fattening
cattle on grass, namely, grass alone,
grass and additional feed throughout
the entire feeding period, and grass
with additional feed the last few
months Of the feeding period The
grass season is usually from May to
November, inclusive, which is approx
imately 210 days. Two acres of good
pasture are usually allowed per ami
NAL. After September the average
pasture begins to decrease in value
very rapidly, and cattle should be mar.
keted at this time or given. additional
feed. Prevailing prices of corn and
concentrates, the type of pasture, and
the quality of cattle should largely
determine the supplement to pasture,
which, might be corn alone, corn with
protein supplement, or the protein sup
plement by itself: Where grass alone
is depended upon, from four to five
months of grazing will usually give
best results, because pastures are at
their best from June to October.

More than 85 per cent Of this coun-
try's corn crop is fed to live stock.
and somewhat less than 10 per cent Ia

Alfalfa may be sown in the spring
with oats at the regular oats sowing
time. The stand will depend upon the
spring and early summer weather.
Except on the very smallest farms,
the manure spreader soon will save its
cost in time saved and greater eff
cheney in spreading.
Sweet clover may be sown with oats.
Some growers claim that they can get
a better stand of sweet clover by SOW
ing it alone on a well-prepared seed
bed but many others always use
nurse crop such as oats.
Successful swine men recommend
the use Of guard rails and light bed
ding as protective measures for the
very young pigs. These two things
make it possible FOR the pigs to avoid
being overlaid by the sow.

Favorable Results
in Spraying Tests
Reduction in Losses From
Leaf-Spot Disease.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Spraying Strawberries for the con-
troll Of leaf-spot diseases has frequent
ly been recommended and few grow
ers in widely separated localities have
sprayed regularly for fruit rots and
have reported an apparent reduction
in losses. The first systematic expert
ments, however, for the control Of fruit
rots by spraying were made by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture last year, and although the re-,
suits of this one seasons work must
be regarded as inconclusive, some IA
.vorable results seem to be indicated.
Various sprays were used, and no
one seemed to show marked supe-
riority over another, indicating that
no really satisfactory spray schedule
has yet been worked out. The inveS-
tigators feel, however, that the results
justify the conclusion that spraying
with bordeaux mixture, and in some
cases busting, reduced the losses from
rot which developed after the fruit
was picked sufficiently to more than
justify the expense Of the treatment.
Strawberries are grown in this coun-
try under a great variety of conditions,
and spray schedules must necessarily
be varied accordingly. The result Of
the first seasons work seems, how
ever, to indicate that in the region Of
Beebe, Ark, where this work was done,
strawberry rots may be reduced by
spraying. 1t is accordingly planned to
extend these spraying tests.
