II you are one of the many who be-
lieve that the long. slim, heavy hen
eggs are the ones which hatch out
the male chicks, and that the smaller
eggs are the ones which give birth to
the future layers of the flock, you need
to revise your opinion on the matter.
You may as well leave your tape

In the matter of sex.
Many Inquiries.
In answer to the continuous stream
Of inquiries pouring into the depart
ment Office relative to determining the
sex of the chick in the shell by the
size, shape or weight of the egg-it
just isn't being done. That is, not in
a practical way, at least. The scien-
fist is able to identify the sex Of a
chick in the shell after seven or eight
days Of incubation, however.
Because of the important bearing on
the practical aspects Of the poultry in
dustry which the ability to select
Matching eggs according to the sex de-
sired would have. if such were pos
sible, number of investigators have
made studies concerning the sex-ratio
situation in the domestic fowl. Re-
Gently DR.. M. A JUL, poultry husband
man of the United States Department
of Agriculture, completed some obser-
vations in which he concludes that
there is no correlation between the
length, shape or weight of the egg and
the sex of the chick Matched from it.
He has also made studies to determine
whether or not there is a correlation
between the weight Of the egg yolk
and the sex of the chick. or between
the yolk water-content and sex ratio,
with the same negative result.
Safe to Count on Females.
It has been determined. however,
says Doctor JUL, that the greater, the
number of eggs which hen lays be-
fore being put into the breeding pen.
the larger will be the proportion of
females and the smaller the proper
ton of males produced by her eggs.
The practical poultryman may be able
to take advantage of this fact to some
extent by making his selection Of eggs
for Matching with reference to the
hens period of production.

Start New Strawberry
Patch After Third Crop

Renovation of the strawberry patch
should receive attention as soon as
harvest is over. This consists in cut
ting out all of the plants except mar
row rows 4 to 5 inches wide and
about SO inches apart. If this is care
fully done and the soil between the
rows given good cultivation, sufficient
plants are left to set new runner plants
for the production of the second crop
next spring. In general, only two or
three crops should be expected from a
patch and when the, second or third
crop has come on new patch should
be planted for the production of the
next years crop, the old patch plowed
up and the land put to some other use
Immediately after harvest.

White Diarrhea Is Not
Due to Disease Germs

Much Of the so-called white diarrhea
among little chickens is not due to the
germs of the disease, but to overhead
ing, chilling, or overlooking, according
to G. L. Stevenson, professor of poul-
try husbandry at South Dakota State
college. There Is tendency. he says,
to call all bowel troubles white
diarrhea, when. in fact. many of them
are due to poor management and are
preventable.
The prime factor in brooding chicks
successfully is to keep them comfort
ably warm. They should be kept in
. light, well ventilated quarters that are
sanitary and free from vermin. At
first. temperature around 95 to 100
degrees should be maintained in the
brooder; but, as the chicks feather out
and as the weather moderates. this
may be gradually reduced though not
entirely discontinued, as the chicks
would then be apt to pile up on cool
nights, and heavy losses result.

Smith is q retired farmer who lives

that he has nothing TO do but loaf at

were two men apparently with some
amateurish knowledge of music and

There's nothing remarkable about

"She just does 1t naturally"
There is no reason why anybody

they themselves have followed If

There is nothing In 1t but trouble

And so the farmer trains his son to

Helps Fruit Grower
Pick Prize-W inners
Specialist Gives Some Valu-
able Suggestions.

Selection of fruit for exhibition pur-
poses is a real sport for farmers In
these days of many shows. fairs, etc.
A. F.. Mason, fruit specialist of the
New Jersey Agricultural college, gives
here some valuable suggestions to help
the fruit grower pick out prize-win-
ming specimens.
Exhibition fruit is best selected in
the late summer while still on the tree
At this time the picking crew has not
handled 1t, nor has it lost its bloom by
being jumbled about on sorting table.
where bruises are bound to be ac-
CURED. Also. If the fruit is still on the
trees when selected, the color can
often be improved by the removal Of a
few leaves and consequent exposure to
the sunlight.
Fruit is judged for perfection in
several particulars. All judges follow
the same schedule. although their
opinions may differ widely on the COM
parative Importance of the different
points. In the order of their import.
ance they are as follows:
neutrality-suspicious. should be abb
solutely free from insects, diseases
and mechanical injury, and should be
in proper state of development for the
season.
Color-Specimens should have at
least the normal color, and little
more If possible, but all specimens
should have exactly the same degree
of color. Poorly colored and highly
colored specimens should never be
mixed.
Form-Should be typical of the va
ricty and absolutely uniform among
specimens. Place the fruit stem end
up and observe uniformity of top and
sides, then turn them over and COM
pare blossom ends and sides.
Size-Should be typical of the va
riety and most desirable for the mar
ket. For instance. small Delicious
is neither typical nor desired. while a
very large York Imperial is equally
lacking in type and desirability for
trade. Average to slightly above av-
erage. rather than the very large speci-
mems, are usually best for exhibit pur-
poses.

Wood Ashes Will Supply
Potash and Phosphorus

Wood ashes furnish various per-
centages of potash and phosphorus,
depending upon their source, and for
that reason they make valuable fer
tilizing material where these elements
are needed. Some plants will grow
better on a slightly acid soil. One of
these is potatoes, but practically all
other garden plants prefer an alkaline
soil and also require considerable
amounts of p;sash and phosphorus. If
ashes are applied in too large amounts
I've may be formed which is caustic
and will lniure the plants. Coal ashes
have practically no fertilizing value
but they are valuable for their power
