These facts are of interest to Amer- icans largely because of the attitude of Europeans toward American eggs. Recently a Canadian journal took oc- crow (or should we say cackle) lustly.over the alleged fact that Canadian eggs were in better re- fpute in Great Britain than American eggs. The reason. as seen across the International boundary, was that Can- adian eggs are more uniform in size and color and more certain as to age. 13—(T) Store and tenements, Now. comes the Bureau of Markets to smoking on couch, Philip Kirstein, 18 the defense of their Amerigan hen High St. with its ~“Report on Foreign Mar- 29—(T) Tenements, chimney fire, | kets.” Mrs. Ida Ruley and others, 41 Thames | ‘“American eggs have gained an en- St. viable place in the English markets 30—(S) Tenements, chimney fire,|during the last few months and there Mrs. Ida Ruley ang others, 41 Thames exists great possibilities in the near future for the further development of SEPTEMMBER theie r{xarkets."

Returns of from $5 to $7 an acre annually have been realized on poor hill lands, set to black locust. The price of all wood is advancing, and still better earnings should result on the same land in the future, Good soils underlaid with limestone can_be safely estimated to yield an average of $10 an acre at the end of fifteen to twenty vears.

There is one enemy that must be taken into consideration in growing locust. the locust wood borer. The trees must be kept in a healthy grow- ing condition and the bark shaded by the foliage of nearby trees, shrubs or weeds. Bulletin 787 of the department of agriculturs is devoted to -the locust borer and the manner of combating him. Locust trees mature early and must be eut and marketed promptly, as the wood - deteriorates rapidly after ma- turing, when left standing. SIMPLE MANNER OF TESTING SEEDS It is a simple matter to test seeds before sowing. Take a piece of white | flannel, put it in a saucer with water sufficient to saturate it and keep it so. Count the seeds that are placed on the flannel and make a record of the number. Cover with paper or another ucer turned over it. Blotting paper may be used in place of flannel. Keep the saucer in a warm place. The per- centage of growth can be calculated by hundred grow. FEEDING SHEEP. We hear much said about the good that sheep do clearing up pastures, but there is such a thing as oyerdo- ing it. sake of trimming up a brush lot. REMOVE TUBERCULOSIS HOGS.

Then boiling water tle on the plice, and those react should be properly disposed of. The pens and stables shodld be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before re- stocking. FROZEN VEGETABLES TO FOWLS Vegetableg which have been..frozen can be thawed out and fed to the fowls, but as a rule such blemished materials must be ‘used quickly, as they do not keep well after thawing. Clover 4nd alfalfa may be fed as hay cut into one-quarter or one-half inch lengths, or _they may be purchased ang fed in the form of meal. Oats for sprouting are soaked over night in warm water and then are spread out from one-half to one inch thick~ on' specially arranged trays haying perforated bottoms, the trays then being put into, an oat sprouter. The oats ghould be wateréd thorough- ly ang. the trays should be. .turned around once daily in order to assure even gprouting. . During cold weather artificial heat should be supplied. by the use of a kerosene lamp or some similar means. 1t is essential to use a good grade of odts and tq allow daily & square inch of sprouteéd oat surface to a hen, feeding the sprout- ed oats on the floor of the poultry house or in the yard. At any time af- ter the gprouts are well started—us- ually. froth five to_seven days after the grain is placed in the sprouter—this green material is available for feed- ing to the flock. It is necessary spray it occasionally withy a disinfect- ant to prevent the growth of miolds. Potatoeg-and turnips are also sat isfactory as a’winter feed for f{l hens, aithough it is essential to edok able for flock use. to} keep the oat sprouter clean and mi these root crops before they are suit- | Clover muay alss | (R R be cut into short lengths, from one- ! fourth to one-half an inch and placedl should be poured over the clover and the material should be allowed to stand for two to three hours or over- night. When the poultryman is ready to_feed this material to the flock he should first drain off the water and theri mix the hay into the mash, al- lowing the hay to constitute about one-half the bulk of the feed. Al- though' clover hay is best adapted for serving in this manner, almost an kind of hay is valuable. The feeder must be careful not to supply teo much bulky feed to the hens, as these fowls have small crops and cannot handle a great amount or roughage as can cows and other animals which ruminate their feed. Grit fs essential to the héalth of the fowls and to economy in feeding, as it tikes the place of teeth in preparing the feed for further digestion, and ft is required for the proper manipula- tion of the feeg in the gizzard, A hox of grit should be provided in every pen or yard, as this material is an es- sential part of the menu. It supplies the fowis with strong bone and bright plumage. Similarly, tht accessibility to, oyster shélls or old mortar and fine gravel are also desirable, as these ma- terials provide the hen with lime, from which egg shells are formed. A few people go around the world, but the majority of us are satisfied to go through it. -searianrran e e s mttle Babies \ H sleep better and cry less when they are bathed with !
