This is also one of the most J{satisfactory trades to cater to and is leasy to get. 'There are hundreds of ifamilies in’ every large‘town or city ‘lthat are looking for the person who [will furnish eggs regularly each week rthe year around at Several cents above lathe retail store prices. 5 The largest profits must come from superior marketing, and from special market advantages in selling eggs and lstock. A difference of only a few icents a- dozen makes a large increase In the income when several hundred [hens are kept. A neat package is a very good in- :vestment. An attractive shipping écrate has much to do with fixing the 'product. The person who will take itho troubleto prepare a neat pack- :lage may be depended upon to be equally ~§careful and painstaking about the nlquality of the goods which he puts ~iinto it. ‘ The first principle of good market- .1ng is to have good quality to sell. l-Quality sells itself. A fancy egg lshould be new-laid; that is, not more ithan one week old when it is deliver- ged to the customer. It should be free v ifrom any foreign flavor due to im- ‘ ,proper feeding or to the absorption of- lobjectionable odors. if To produce eggs of the highest ,quality requires skill and care. First, lone must keep» pure-bred fowls in order to get uniformity in color, gshape and size of egg. Second, eggs iinust be selected forvhatching that ifulfill all the market .requirements for lstrictly fancy eggs. E Eggs for a first class trade must gbe gathered regularly each day from 1inests that are especially fitted. If .ithere is any doubt about the fresh- I,ness of eggs, give the customer, not ,ithe eggs, the benefit of the doubt. Do not take any chance. One bad Leggwwill ruin the reputation gained [by selling a thousand good ones. As lsoon as the eggs are gathered they gshould be carried to a cool place and icovered witn a clean cloth so that "dust cannot settle on them. 1- A damp cloth is required to rub off {any slight discoloration. If it is 5inecessary to wet the eggs, they should {be wiped dry before being placed in [the crate. ‘They should not be wash- led unless absolutely necessary, be- lcause washing destroys the natural ,appearance of the shell. * g :ROIAWROPS 1 Que Year's Growth Should Offset Dis- advantages of Previous One . \w â€". At the basis of all genuine rotations dies the fact that plants differ from gone another; they differ from one .another in their demands upon the 5011, both chemical and physical; they differ with regard to their root sys- tem,‘depth of feeding, their-moisture requirements, their time of feeding, {their dates in reaching maturity, etc. 1, Many plants impoverish the soil; a :few enrich it; some spoil its‘ physical conditions, while others improve it in that regard. Many‘crops favor the growth of weeds, while others either are able to hold the weeds in check or require such cultivation and treat-1 ment as will prevent their growth. All these differences fit plants for different places in rotation, and a well- arranged rotation is one in which the strong points of one crop follow so .as to fit into the weak points of an- other, or vice verSa, and in this way . . reduce deficiencies to a minimum. 3A crop that’requires a large amount of one element should be followed by one that requires less of that element and probably more of another. A shallow-rooted crop should be followed by one that is deeper rooted, so that plant food which may have escaped the shallower roots may be caught by the deeper feeder, and that the nutri- mentinthe soil may be used to a great- er depth. Crops that are exhaustive to the soil should be followed by a soâ€" called soil restorer. And crops that are conducive to the growth of weeds should be followed by a weed-destroy- ing crop. c-.. I ‘ . ' MW”. i CLEAN MILK METHODS Brush the cow's udder and wipe , with a dry cloth; use clean water and dry with a clean towel. .. Milkers should wash“ their hands lwith soap and water and dry with clean towel. Whitewash the cow stable at least twice p-yearly. ' . ‘F-eed no dusty feed until after milk- ing.. _' I _ l ' Remove all manure from cow stable twice daily. Keep barnyard clean and have manure pile at least 100 feet from the stable. ‘ Have abundant windows in cow stable to permit sunlight to reach the floor. ‘ Arrange a proper system of ven- tilation for the cow stable. King sys‘ stem is suggested. Do not use milk from any cows sus- pected of garget or any udd-er' in- flammation. Such milk contains enormous numbers of bacteria. Use abundance of ice in water tank for cobling milk; m A GREENLAND BELLE The arctic explorers and Whalers always touch Greenland before they make their dashes farther north, with the result that the native Greenlanders of these days have a pretty good taste of civilization. These natives are Eskimos, or half breeds. In return for furs and fish they sell to their visitors and for ‘services they render, they get much ‘cheap flnery, and often utility articles, 'such as cooking utensils, clothing, stoves, furniture andéâ€"whiskey. v The general result is that the Green- lland people dress different to the ‘ more remote Eskimos. The girl in the photograph undoubt- I edly wears a costume made in Den- imark or Norway, where they best ‘ understand the manufacture of clothes lfor extremely cold climates. Some of Ithe women are quite attractive. Most '9: them have flatter faces, however, ithan the one here shown. She lives at Therasak, northwest Greenland, ‘ and is of part Danish blood. FENCES AND GATES Should be Strong and Neatâ€"Some of the Reasons Any man who keeps stock should ‘have good fences and strong gates. lBroken-down fences and old dilapitat- ed gates are a constant source of an- noyance and danger. Many valuable 'animals are injured by broken fences and gates, not always by the fence or .gate itself but by getting through the fence or gate into a field of grain and 'eating enough to Cause bloat, or'by‘ strolling on to a railroad track and being hit by the ‘cars. 1 Perhaps the 'whole herd breaks through into a neighbor's fields and destroys his crops. Such things are; mighty unpleasant, and cause bad feel? ing among the best of neighbors. Good fences and strong gates are cheaper than good stock and damage suits. .Good gates and fences add to 'the' permanent value of a farm. If a man has not sufficient pride in his ‘farm to keep up his fences, economy should compel him to give these mat- ters attention. The poor gate is the weakest link in the fence. There is 1nothing that adds more to the appear- ‘ance of a farm than good, substantial gates and fences. Such appearances amount to hundreds of dollars when selling farms. .-..â€". _. .'~v-â€"- ~-.__... Uniform For‘ Museum Honus Wagner’s uniform and his palmless glove‘may be placed in the Carnegie Museum at Pittsburg when the famous player retires from the diamond. Dr. W. J. Holland, director of the museum, believes that baseball is something worth telling posterity about. Many ancient games are repre- .. seated at the museum by interesting Irelics, and Dr. Holland announced that the institution would like Wag- ner’s baseball accoutrement when he retires, believing him to be the most wonderful ball player ever known. An electric tool for removing scale from boilers, an English ‘delivers eight thousand hammering and tearing strokes against a surface I to be cleaned every minute. S.

BLANKETING T'His‘iioass ' Judgment Should be Used or Animals Wlll Suffer There are horse blankets and horse blankets, all classes of horses and every kind of weather and condition in which to use them, but horses often are forced to suffer thmugh their use, hr rather misuse. ‘ . -The common practice of blanketlng horses along in the .fall, when their iWinter coat begins to come in, to keep the animal iooking‘lflne," is a source of, to say the least, discomfort to‘ the animal; to keep a horse in a warm stable, heavily blanketed, and then work him throughout the day, with- out this“'wrap," shows lack of judg- ment. No doubt a sleek‘ooat can be maintained in this way, but it is rather hard on the horse. The use of heavy blankets under normal con- ditions cannot be condemned too ! much. Their place is for use in severe weather, where horses have to stand outside'or in open sheds during the winter. For stable use a light sheet only should be used. fall months, ins. p The heavy blanket. while it is in- valuable to protect the horse in certain .conditionsyand should always be in a handy place on the farm ready for use, can begreatly abused and indis‘ criminate use can cause the horse as much or more discomfort than if it were taken away entirely. Blanket the horse for protection, and not for show. Sandy Run For Poultry A sandy soil makes a good poultry run. Filth is sooner washed into it and after a rain it is soonest dry.
