OF sugaA for every cupta: Of Juice;
and for fruits containing a small
amount Of pectin, such as ripe grapes,
use one-half cupful of sugar for every
cupful of juice.
Test Jelly Often.
Jelly is done when the drops run
together and "sheet off, the spoon.
Another test is to place a spoonful Of
the liquid on cool saucer and allow
to stand for a short time. When the
sample Is cooled, pass spoon through
it. If clean path Is left where the
spoon has been, the jelly is done.
During the end OF the process, it La
well to remove the jelly from the
stove while testing in order that it
will have no chance to be overlooked.
When DONE skim the jelly and pre-
pare to fill the jars.
Fill the sterilized glasses while wet
with the hot jelly, and set aside in a
sunshiny place to cool. There is no
reason why the glasses should not be
filled to the brim, since the jelly will
shrink sufficiently to allow room for
the paraffin. Before adding the par
afin, run the tip Of knife down

Necessary to Have Eggs
Clean in Fowls Nests

1t Is necessary to have the eggs
clean in the nests, because washing
eggs takes time and also removes the
natural bloom. One common cause of
dirty eggs is the habit of pullets roost-
ing in the nests. This can soon be
broken up by going through the houses
just after roosting time and removing
such birds to the roosts. Spending a
few minutes in the houses just at sun
down to brighten the pullets from the
nests will teach Them to select another
roosting place themselves. Then they
are most apt to go back to the regu-
lar roosts each night.
Walking on dirty dropping boards is
another cause Of dirty eggs. Some
poultrymen nail strips Of two-inch
mesh wire under each roosting Sec
ton. This permits the droppings to
fall through to the boards but keeps
the hens from walking on the boards.
They have to hop from perch TO perch
and then down into the litter and will
have cleaner feet when going on the
nests In the morning The mesh Of
the wire may be fine enough to catch
any eggs laid during the night and
save them from breaking.

all subject to climatic, seasonal, indus
trial and social influences.
Let me set aside and forget entirely
if possible, climatic and seasonal fac
tors affecting the worlA's supply and
demand for our daily necessities of life.
Being beyond our control, we should
dispense with any arguments or
prophecies pertaining to climate and
seasons. Even the mentally blind can
read of, with some optimism, the cur
rent trend Of our worlds industrial
and social life. Here are facts as they
have transpired within the last few
years:
1. The ever-increasing consuming
population both rural and urban
throughout the world.
2. The positive trend toward indus
trialism in every civilized nation of
the world.
g. The trend of increased activity In
bartering between nations, an infant
industry in itself
4. The drift of population from rural
to urban life.
5. The rising standard Of life" that
prevails throughout the world.
8. The limited profltably productive
land areas available for producing the
needed supply Of civilized life necessi-
ties.
z. The expulsion, through natural
laws, of the inefficient and nonprofit
producers of life's necessities.
These are all tremendous reasons
why agriculture the world over is ap-
preaching new era of assured pros
perity and I'm American enough to be-
lieve that the American husbandman
Is going to get his share, II intelligent
efficiency has any bearing on the mat
ter.

around the jelly about quarter Of an
inch in order to loosen 1t. When the
paraffin is added, it will run down In
the groove thus formed as well as
over the top and will make a more
nearly perfect seal.
Paraffin may be handled more easily
If melted slowly in small coffee or
teapot and poured from this over the
jelly.
Label and Store.
Labels are a great convenience Il
quickly locating the jellies on the
shelves, and they should be placed on
the Jars before storing.
The best way to store jelly Is to
cover 1t with tin covers or paper tied
over the tops of the Jars and place
1t In a cool, dark place.
The best fruits for jelly making are
currants. apples, grapes and crab
apples-all of which are rich in pectin
and acid. Under-ripe fruits are con-
sidered better than fully-ripened fruits
Quality, not quantity, Is the keynote
to successful jelly making, since the
best jelly Is made in small quantities

or until the fruit is soft. AT the end
Of this time strain the juice through a
Jelly bag and allow it to drain over
night. Mong draining is preferred to
pressing the fruit Juice through the
bag, since the latter process makes the
Jelly clOudy.) When the jelly bag has
stopped dripping, measure the juice
and prepare for the boiling process.
Speed Up Boiling Process.
There will be no fine for speeding
up the boiling process. In fact, rapid
cooking is the most ideal method of
Jelly making Use a large kettle so
that there will be no danger of the
Juice boiling over, and rapidly bring
the juice to the boiling point. At this
time add the sugar.
The quantity of sugar needed de-
ponds upon the kind of fruit used A
general rule to use is the following I:
For fruits very rich in pectin, such
as crab apples, use one cupful Of
sugar for every cupful of juice; for
fruits containing less pectin, such as
currants, apples, and partially-ripe
grapes, use three-fourths of a cupful

Prevent Swarming
by Providing Shade
Protection Is Essential on
Very Hot Days.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Protection OF the hives and superS
from the direct rays of the sun during
the hottest part of the day should de-
crease the tendency of bees to swarm,
according to bulletin of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Covers made of a single thickness of
lumber, If unprotected, may cause
great discomfort to the bees and may
compel them to leave the supers dur
ing the heat of the day, which is a
condition favorable to swarming.
To prevent this, shade boards large
enough to project beyond the edges of
the hive may be used over the covers.
These should be adjusted with one
edge even with the north side Of the
hive so that the extra width projects
on the south side. There should be
space between the hive-cover and the
shade board to permit circulation of
air. The double covers, which have
an air space between the inner and
outer parts, afford more protection
from the suns rays than do single COW
ers, but these do not shade the sides
Of the supers.
The hives, supers, and covers should
be painted white. This better reflects
the suns rays. If no shade board is
used, the covers should De repainted
frequently. 1t is to be expected that
the tendency to swarm will be greater
when dark or weather-beaten hive COW
ers are used than when the covers are
newly painted white, unless shade
boards are used over them.

Improper Feeds
Cause Big Loss
Many Ailments of Sheep
Flocks Due to Digestive
Troubles of Animals.

(Rrerared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Feeding troubles are at the bottom
Of three-fourths of the troubles affect
ing range sheep, says the United States
Department Of Agriculture Many
sheepmen have failed to recognize the
real cause of the ailments of their
hocks and have resorted to medicinal
remedies and vaccination to cure and
prevent sickness which in many cases
was due to digestive troubles brought
about by improper feeding conditions.
Feeding Methods.
Progressive sheepmen, however, are
recognizing the Importance Of feeding
methods. They make the change grad
ually from range feeding to lot feed
ing to give the sheep time to become
accustomed to new feeds. Sheep are
more sensitive to feed changes than
other classes of live stock. A novel
means adopted by one sheep feeder was
to place bales of hay in the feed lot for
lambs just brought in from the range.
The lambs were able only to nibble
at the hay and satisfied their appetite
so gradually that no losses or trouble
from digestive arrangement occurred.
Officials Of the bureau Of animal
industry who have been cooperating
with the Idaho board of sheep COM
missioners in a study Of the causes of
mortality among sheep point out that
proper diagnosis Of sheep diseases is
essential in all cases. They also are
confident that greater attention to
feeding, management and sanitation
will greatly reduce the loss both from
diseases and other causes.
PreventabIe Loss.
DIR. f. e. Murray, in charge Of the
bureaus office at Salt Lake City, esti-
mates the preventable losses, which
are well within the control Of sheep
men themselves, at about a quarter of
million dollars annually in the inter
mountain region. This is a conserv-
ative appraisal Of the annual toll aside
from the hazards that are> difficult to
prevent, such as those caused by pred
atory animals and exposure.
In the opinion of department special
,sts, fully Is per cent of the prevent
able losses are due to improper feed
or feeding conditions. The remaining
Is per cent Of the losses are accounted
for by diseases, parasites, poisonous
plants, and miscellaneous causes.

Cow Testing Is
Aid to Dairying
Associations Now Throwing
Light on Production of
307,073 Cows.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agrtculture.)
Seven hundred and thirty-two stars
now adorn a map of the United States
In the Office of the bureau of dairying
OF the United States Department OF
Agriculture. These stars represent the
number Of contrasting associations now
throwing light on the milk and butter
fat production of 3O7,073 cows. Thou
sands of dairymen have watched with
interest the growth Of the testing idea
from the time the first star was placed
on the map in 1906 to the present, with
732 stars marking the progressive dairy
communities.
Like Chart of Heavens.
This map, says the bureau, may be
likened to chart Of the starry heav-
ems in the early evening. AS the stars
begin to appear one by one, then
more rapidly, and finally in clusters in
every part Of the skies, so have the
contrasting associations appeared, first
one by one, then more rapidly, and
now in groups in various parts of the
United States
TO carry this analogy still further:
The Newaygo county (Mich.) associ-
alton, the first to be organized in the
United States, may represent the eve
ming star, which Is the first to come
out The big associations of our west
ern coast may represent the largest
planets. Other smaller but no less
worthy associations may be thought of
as stars Of various magnitudes. Some
bf the more brilliant associations may
be likened to Mercury, Venus, and
Mars, but it requires no wild flight
of the imagination to detect the milky
way in that great group of contrasting
associations that extends In long and
graceful curve from the Dakotas
through the upper stretches of the
Mississippi and st. Lawrence valleys,
then across the Alleghenies to the
eastern shores of New England.
Cows Now on Test.
In these associations IL per cent of
our dairy cows are now on test. AS
the years roll round 1t Is hoped, says
the department, that more and more
cows may be placed on test, and that
finally every dairyman may become a
member Of a wide-awake cow-testing
association. Then will the analogy of
the stars and the associations be COM
plete.

Raising Chicks on Clean
Soil to Prevent Gapes

Gapes IL chickS is a trouble due to
the presence Of parasitic worms In the
windpipe causing labored breathing.
The worms are eoughed up by in
fected chicks, eggs are laid in the soil
and the worms are often Matched
there. Other chicks pick up the eggs
or worms from the soil and become
affected.
Purdue university states that the
best way to prevent gapes Is to raise
the chicks on clean ground, free from
cape infection. If the soil is infected
with the cape worms it should be
plowed and crop raised on 1t. If the
chicks are kept off the ground for
year it will usually be clean and can
be used the following year.
The West Virginia experiment sta
ton has recommended three drops Of
creolin to a pint of drinking water for
affected chicks. Under normal circum-
stances it Is useless to try curing
gapey chicks. The easiest thing is pre-
vention.

Save Wheat by Burning
Grasshoppers at Night

On many farms grasshoppers will be
found roosting nights on tall weeds
and grass along fence rows at the
edge Of wheat fields. When this vege-
tation is dry, burning at night will de-
Stroy immense numbers of the hoppers.
This is much quicker, less expensive
and more effective than poison. Where
burning is not possible, the newly sown
wheat fields should be watched and If
the hoppers start on the wheat, poison
should be applied at once, advises the
department of entomology, Kansas
State Agricultural college.
When the young wheat plant has
only one leaf, grasshoppers may eat it
off once, and sometimes twice, and it
will come up again. More than that
will kill it. If they can be held until
after the second leaf starts, there is
little danger Of the wheat being killed,
according to entomologists.

Protein Makes Cheaper
Eggs, Declares Kempster

Hens cannot produce eggs prOhtahly
on rations made up of grains and grain
by-products commonly produced on the
farm This is the conclusion Of H. L.
Kempster of the Missouri Agricultural
college. He bases his opinion on ten
years of feeding experiments conduct
ed at the Missouri station.
The use Of meat scrap, tankage, sour
butterinilk and dried buttermilk result
ed in an egg production per hen, of lit,
120,. 125 and liz eggs respectively as
compared with 81 eggs in the check
pen receiving no animal protein. The
cost is the chief factor In determining
which to use.
Washes containing 10 per cent or
more of meat scrap or tankage gave
uniformly more satisfactory results
than when smaller amounts were used.
For White Leghorns the most suitable
amount Of meat scrap or tankage is
around six pounds per hen per year.
Meat scrap, tankage or milk products
reduced the amount Of feed required
to produce pound of eggs nearly
one-half.
Cottonseed meal added to the mash
did increase pro0uction. 1t Is thought
certain mineral deficiencies are re-
sponsible and experimental work will
continue with cottonseed meal, linseed
oilmeal and gluten meal.
The ratio used through the expert
ment was adjusted so that approx
mately two-thirds consisted Of scratch
feed and one-third mash. In earlier
work the scratch feed consisted of two
pounds corn and one pound wheat
| Sometimes it was corn alone and later
oats replaced the wheat The basal
portion of the mash was made up Of
equal parts bran, ,horts or middlings
and cornmeal To this base the vari-
GUS protein concentrates were added.

Keep your garden crops in long rows
so that cultivation is easier and the
minimum of hoeing is required.
Constant trampling by live stock de-
stroys the leaf mulch in the forest
thus exposing the ground to drying
winds and to sunlight.
Sweet clover should be cut for hay
just as the buds are forming in the
top whorl of the leaves and before the
plants cone into bloom.
Nearly every farm has some portion
which Is too rough, rocky or poor TO
grow field crops, but which would
grow good timber. Put this idle land
to work.

at any time and any place is a check

COMMERCIAL GRADES
FOR MARKET EGGS

William H Lapp, of the Iowa Agri,
tlltural college, in a circular gives the
following description Of the ordinary
commercial egg grades:
Extras-These are eggs weighing
from "a to % ounces to the dozen and
are uniform in size and fairly uniform
in shape and color. They must be free
from heat or germ development The
air cell must not be larger than the
size of dime.
Firsts-These are eggs weighing from
% to "a ounces to the dozen, uniform
in size, and fairly uniform in shape
and color. They must be free from
heat, with an air cell not much larger
than that of an extra. The shell must
be sound and clean.
Seconds These are made up of light
stains and dirties, heated and stale
eggs, also small eggs or any others not
classified above but edible.
Checks-These are slightly broken
eggs.
Cracks These are generally classed
with checks.
Leakers- are broken eggs
where the liquid is escaping.
Rejects These are the eggs unfit
for food.
In securing eggs that will class as
extras" or "firsts," Professor Lapp
suggests that the following points be
kept in mind:
1. Take pride in the eggs you sell.
2. Keep a flock of good standard
bred stock. Hatch only large, select
eggs.
3. Keep nests clean and plenty Of
them.
4. Do not keep eggs in place
above 60 degrees temperature.
5. Keep litter in house clean.
6. Separate males from flock as
soon as Matching season is over.
Z. Do not market small, inferior
eggs. Use them at home.
8. Do not wash dirty eggs If they
are intended for market.
9. Keep eggs covered when taking
them to market.
10. An egg is generally good quail
ity when it is produced. Don't help to
deteriorate the quality. Market eggs
often.
One difficulty In the way of the Iowa
farmer in working for higher grades
on eggs is that in great many cases
higher grades are not rewarded by pro-
portionately higher prices, due to the
discriminating attitude Of some local
buyers. The cooperative egg selling
associations of Minnesota and Mis-
souri, have found that the quality OF
the eggs handled goes up very prompt
ly after the returns for the first lots
have been received. AS soon as farm.
ers are sure that they are going to gel
premiums for their high quality, their
percentage of extras and ''1rsts'
goes up markedly.
