prominent farmer Of this county.
Mr.. Hart found that some sweet
clover which he seeded last year

tailed to come up, Vas growing very
thlckly this spring, so instead of
blowing the field and destroying the
clover, he disced the ground and
seeded wheat as a nurse crop this
year. An examination of the field
late this week indicated that his
theory was working out on his plot
at least. Mr.. Hart. who terms
sweet clover the one great plant for

that drilling in grain, with possibly

Good Test for Eggs

An egg may appear TO be satisfac-
tory, but when the contents are ex-
amined 1t may be found to be worth
less for incubation. Some eggs may
have cracked shells. These may he
detected by the use Of the tester or
Gambler such as is used In testing eggs
during incubation. Another method Of
detecting cracked shells Is to tap two
eggs gently together, and II there is a
slightly ringing sound they may be
considered all right. II there is a
dull sound, n Of the eggs Is cracked
and should be avoided.

Best Quality Eggs Are
Produced in the Spring

Early spring is the fowls natural
breeding season and the best quality
eggs are produced at this time. These
high quality eggs produce strong
chicks, the mortality being lower than
when late Matching Ia practiced. The
conditions for chicks are more favor
able In the spring than at a later sea-
son. The incubator is better venti-
lated and the hens have less trouble
with parasites than in hot weather.
There Is also an abundant green
food supply which contains the neces-
sary vtamines for proper growth. The
early spring weather Ia much easier
on the young chicks than are the hot
days Of June.

SONS In CIRCUS
HELD AS FREAKS


RICHMOND. Va, Nov. 3.--An at
tachment suit for 100000 has
been filed in Richmond against the
Ringing Bros. and Barnum and
Bailey circus by Mrs. Harriet Muse
The suit followed Mrs. MUSES. dis
covery of her two children Willie
and Georgia Muse, who had been
missing for years, in a side-show OF
the circus. Mrs. Muse charges that
her children have been held in a
virtual state of slavery by the cir
Gus for the last four and half
years.
Mrs, Muse demands $4,000 for
each boy as just compensation for
the boys years of circus life. They
received no pay for their services.
The circus posters of the 4.'Ambas-
sadors from Mars" who the two
boys were supposed to represent,
depicted two hairy individuals with
eyes and ears and bodies supposed
to resemble those of inhabitants OF
the Planet OF Mars.
The two boys who were mred
away in 1923 by the manager of the
circus could not read or write and
therefore had never been able to
communicate with their parents.
