Eggs Require Special
Care During Warm Days

The warm days of summer are
the danger days in the high-quality
egg trade. Unless poultrymen main
tain watchful eye and exercise the
greatest of care, many factors that
easily escape attention, may result
in the loss of customers, says a
writer in the Rural Newly orker.
Egg quality deteriorates rapidly
at temperatures over 70 degrees.
Hot days, high temperatures in the
poultry house, broody birds remain
ing on the nests, are often the cause
of lack of freshness in the product.
Eggs should be gathered three or
four times daily in clean, well-cush-
toned containers. Leaky, cracked
or soft-shelled eggs should be placed
in separate containers when collect
ing to prevent soiling of the eggs
and possible contamination from
odors of oil, or other pungent ma
terial.
AS soon as the eggs have been
gathered, they should be placed in
a cool, dry room, free from odors
and where the temperature is not
over so degrees.
Eggs should be graded to size,
candled, packed in clean, attractive
containers, and marketed at least
twice a week. In shipping, they
should be protected from the sun
and wind.

Bitter Butter

Bitter butter may be due to bitter
milk or to the salt used, says J. R.
Dice, head of the North Dakota
Agricultural College dairy depart
ment. Milk from cows in poor physi-
cal condition, or from COWS that
have reached an advanced stage
in the milking period, may produce
bitter butter, butter that has poor
texture, or the cream may refuse
to churn out entirely. If sample tests
of the individual cows fail to in
dictate the responsibility for the bit
ter flavor, examine the salt being
used. Chemically impure salt, es-
pecially salt containing relatively
large amounts of magnesium salts
or calcium chloride, or both, may
give the butter bitter flavor.

PLAN WINDBREAKS
FOR NEXT SPRING
Scheme May Be Worked Out
During Summer.

v 1ersity a of inos snSR G servfee. UNI
Although it is too late in the year
to make windbreak paintings Of
trees on farms, it is not too late
to start making plans for paintings
to be made next spring. Prepara-
tons which can be made during
spare time this summer for pro-
lection planting next spring include
marking out the area, digging a
diversion ditch to drain barnyard
water around the windbreak plant
ing, fencing the area to be planted
and blowing the ground in the fall.
"Trees are best ordered early to
assure getting the desired varieties
before supplies run out" Davis
states in his new circular, No. q,
"Windbreaks for Illinois Farm
steads," which has just been pub
1ished by the Natural History Sur
vey in cooperation with the agricul-
tural college.
Detailed information on planning,
planting and caring for windbreak
are contained in the circular along
with a description of the kind of
trees available, their advantages
and disadvantages. Copies of the
circular may be obtained by writing
the agricultural college at Urbana.
''Illinois farmers are taking re-
newed interest in windbreaks, Da-
Wis said. Demonstration paintings
showing the best practices for es-
tablishing and maintaining wind
breaks have been made on farms in
IL Illinois counties this spring. More
are being planned for next year.
s'Most ornamental nurseries grow
the types of trees satisfactory for
windbreaks and some of the larger
nurseries specialize in producing
windbreak trees"
Information on sources and prices
of windbreak planting stock may
be obtained by writing Davis at the
agricultural college.

Lambs Need Corn

1t does not pay to cut down on
corn and legume hay in favor of
oats and non-le guminous roughage
when fattening lambs. This feed-lot
truism, well understood by exper-
fenced live stock men, was demon
strated again this past year in
Four-H Club western lamb feeding
projects at Spencer and Waterloo,
Iowa. Reducing the corn ration and
legume hay ration actually doubled
the cost of producing a hundred
pounds of gain in many of the lots.

Segregate BOOSTERS

In order to protect the interior
quality of eggs, ROSTERS should be
removed from the breeding pen as
soon as the Matching season is over.
If the male remains with the hens,
the eggs will be fertile, and if a
fertile egg is held at temperature
ranging above 60 degrees Fahren-
heit, the germ will develop. A fer
tile egg will deteriorate much more
rapidly than an infertile egg. An
infertile egg seldom rots, but
fertile egg will decompose rapidly

BooZER'S BLOOD TEST

Hard shedding faces drunken drivers
in Germany, according to report from
Berlin, where court has officially recog-
nized the Windmark test, which makes it
possible to determine with exactness the
amount of alcohol in the blood
The test was applied to young stu
dent who had borrowed" car for a lit
tie spin, in the course of which he knock
ed down and seriously injured two pedes-
trians. The medical expert making the
test told the judge that the culprit had i'm
bibed a quantity of alcohol equal to that
contained in nine drinks of cognac, and
nine glasses of beer-the assumption be-
ing that the beer, in accordance with "an
international CUSTOM had been taken as
a chaser.
The defendant, also adhering to an
international custom, strenuously denied
having imbibed to excess, but upon as
surance by the expert that "the blood test
never lies,' the judge imposed a sentence
of one months Imprisonment, which was a
more severe penalty than even the pros
ecutor expected aao
In passing sentence the learned Judge
declared that drunken drivers must be
sent to jail under any circumstances" a
dictum with which most persons will
readily agree. Perhaps we Americans
might learn something about handling the
drunken speeder problem from our Ger
man contemporaries.

A PROCESS OF DICTATORSHIP

There is a mistaken idea in the minds
of many people that drastic reorganiza-
ton of the Federal courts in general, and
packing of the Supreme Court in par
ticular, is the only way of changing the
legal standing of certain kinds of laws
that have been found unconstitutional
The fact is that no document could be
more malleable, or could be more readily
adapted to changing conditions when a
definite need exists and popular opinion
is massed in favor of change, than the
Constitution.
The means for change is found in the
body of the Constitution itself where pro-
vision is made for amendments More
than 20 amendments have been added to
the document since it was first written
And it is a noteworthy fact that the more
important amendments, with few excep-
tions, have been passed in a reasonably
short time after their introduction.
A few decades ago, for example,
Congress passed bill empowering the
Federal government to levy tax on in
comes. A test case was taken through the
courts, and the measure finally held un-
constitutional. But no one attempted to
pack court which had simply done its
duty under the law, because of that act.
Instead, President Taft advocates con-
stitutional amendment, and the proposal
went before the people in the orderly,
prescribed manner. The people 81 agreed
with the President-and the income tax
amendment soon followed
Similar examples are found in the
amendments providing for prohibition, for
prohibition repeal, for female suffrage,
etc. This is democracy-aud when the
voice of the people demands change,
that change comes. To attempt change
through court packing or any other sub
terfuge is not democratic process--but a
process of dictatorship, whether we like
that word or not.

WHY YOU CAN'T BELIEVE ALL

One bright boy rises to remark that
you can't believe all that you see in the
newspapers and no newspaper man re-
flutes the statement. Truth of the matter,
most of the news in newspaper is based
ON what some member of the vast public
says, and the fact that people sometimes
twist the truth, and fool newspaper men,
explains the remark.
Another common remark that one
hears is Il see where The Citizen says L. :"
and the speaker will go on to narrate some
news article that has been printed never
stopping to think that vast majority of
the items that appear in print are merely
reports of what others say or claim,
which the newspaper presents to intlli-
gent readers leaving them to pass their
own judgment.

A New York to Key West wa
terway inland will be just as valu-
able to Key West as the Overseas
Railroad or the highway and this
is now assured, in the opinion of
Superintendent VIM. w. Demer-
lit, of the Seventh Lighthouse
District. The inside passage is
now open from New York to jack
sonville and thousands of small
craft and commercial vessels use
it annually. Through an appro.
priation of 1921, 900 authorized
on January "a by Congress, the
waterway is to be developed from
the st. Johns River at Jackson
vile to Biscayne Bay at Miami.
An annual upkeep sum of $780,
900 was also authorized. The
same act authorizes a survey of
the continuation of this canal or
inside route from Miami to Flor
ida Bay. The waters of Florida
Bay lap the beaches of No Name
Key and adjacent Keys. Mr.. De-
merritt is of the opinion that a
survey should be made for a more
picturesque and safer route from
Florida Bay to Key West.
