LIKE "boycott," "Jnr.z," "bun combe" and a number of other word which are now ac knowledged member of the Englbdi Hiully, "dun" had It origin In a man of that name a certain John lun, wno wn con Mable In England during the early part of the last century. Lun, n might ho nuppoaed, wu a past muster of hi profe lon, a iucceful collector of debt. No Job wa too hard for him to tackle, no debtor too callou for him to prick their conscience or ahame them Into payment In one way or another, One of the constable's pet scheme wus to cull upon a debtor twice, nnd on each of hl first two visit he would wear his ordlnnry clothes. Then, If tho debtor atlll refused to pay nnd there wus no doubt thut ob ligation Khould be met. Dun would adopt the ntratngem of dressing In some outlandish cos tumea acurlet cloak or a pair of green tights so at to make himself n conspicuous as pos sible. Thus attired and ringing a bell In order further to pro claim the reason for his visit, be would return, nnd It wa seldom that the debtor withstood more thin one of these public an nouncements of his delinquency. Because Constable Dun wa so successful In the collection of money due It became common In such cases to say, "You'll have to send Dun for your mon ey" or "You'll have to Dun him to get It," and the expression persisted long after the con stable himself was dead and for gotten.

At present mnny producers ara neglect ing entirely this marketing medium or are not utilizing It to the extent they might. Wider use of the parcel post for marketing eggs Is particularly ad-' vlwible for the small producer who enn easily nnd advantageously bnild up a direct trade with the city. When more produce Is marketed directly from the farm to the city there will b less complaint on the part of the producer that the prices he must sell for are too low, and less on the part of the consumer that the prices he pnys nre too high. Sell Only First-Class Eggs. It !s preferable to produce Infertile eggs for mnrket, as fertile eggs de teriorate rapidly In warm weather and are the cause of much loss. The eggs should be gathered at least once a dny nnd stored In a well-ventllated place, where they can be kept as cool as pos sible. As washing removes the muel lnglnous coating of eggs and opens the pores of the shell, it should not be practiced In the case of eggs Intended for high-class trade. Soiled eggs should be used at home or disposed of otherwise than to a parcel-post cus tomer. If there Is nny doubt concerning the freshness or quality of the eggs, they should be candled, so that all eggs showing ony defect mny be held at home, say poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agricul ture. For parcel-post shipment It 1 essential that uniform containers and n uniform pack should be used, as oth erwise the packages will not wear well, nor will they look attractive and appeal to the fancy trade. Further more, the containers should he stout and durable, so as to make It worth while to return them as "empties" for subsequent use. According to post office regulations, eggs will be accepted for local deliv ery when they ure so packed In a busket or other container as to pre vent damage to other mall matter. Eggs to be sent beyond the local office are accepted for mailing, regardless of distance, when euch egg Is wrapped separately and surrounded with ex celsior, cotton or other suitable mate- rial and packed In a strong container made of double-faced, corrugated pasteboard, metal, wood or other suit able material and wrapped so that nothing can escape from the package. All such parcels mvst be labeled "Kggs." Eggs In parcels weighing more than 20 pounds are accepted for mailing to offices In the first and sec ond zones wheii packed In crates, boxes, buckets or other containers having tight bottoms to prevent the escape of anything from the package and so constructed ns properly to pro tect the contents. Such packages must. COMPOST HEAP MADE FROM GARDEN WASTE Start by Laying Down Bed of .Stable Manure and Alternating With Refuse Matter Especially Val uable for Hotbeds. Garden waste, decayed vegetables, dead vines, weeds, and the organic rubbish thut collects about the place during a busy summer may be cleaned up and put to work agnln through the agency of n compost heap, say spe cialists of the Unltedj Stutes Depart ment of Agriculture. Start the heap by laying down a bed of stable ma nure which hus not been burned or heated. The size of the plot will vary with the amount of refuse to be used ; for ordinary uses, If the bed is made eight feet long by six feet wide and two feet deep it will serve the pur pose. Over the manure spread a two foot layer of refuse and cover with another layer of manure. , This . last iver need be onlv n foot In thickness. 1, ' " ;s) l" M 1 M(i IT ' f-l . . W u l That One Package or Many May Sent. be marked "Eggs This Side Up" and must be transported outside of mall sacks or boxes. It Is advisable that square block tis sue paper, w hich corncs In packages of 500 sheets each, soft wrapping pnper, or newspaper should be used around each egg, as otherwise there Is a dan ger of breakage In handling. Average hens' ' eggs will weigh about two ounces apiece, or between two and three pounds a dozen, when properly packed for mailing in a carton. Most porcels containing a dozen eggs will exceed two pounds', but will not reach three; therefore the postage on them will be 7 cents within the first and second zones, or 150-mile limit A parcel containing two dozen eggs will odd, perhaps, 2 cents to the postage, though sometimes only 1 cent, depend ing on the character of the container and wrapper. Ship Large-Size Packages. The larger the parcel, within the size and weight limits, the cheaper Is the postage, as the first pound of every package costs 5 cents within the first nnd second zones, while each addition al pound, up to 50, costs but 1 cent WEEDS ARE INJURIOUS Weeds are Injurious to man In the following ways: 1. They crowd out the growing crop. 2. They consume the moisture necessary for a, crop. 3. They consume the mineral or other food elements essential to a crop. 4. They pull down a crop. 5. They are Injurious because they harbor Insects. 6. They are Injurious because they har bor parasitic fungi. 7. They prevent the proper cultivation of the soil. 8. They may cause conditions which breed diseases. 9. They may poison the solL 10. They stop drains. 1L They poison animals and man. Prof. L. IL Pummel, Iowa State Col lege. ODD TASK FOR MOTORTRUCK Besides Covering Distance on Road Vehicles Can Be Used for Haul ing About Fields. There are many things a motortruck will do for the farmer besides cover distance on the road. They will travel through the fields and do a great amount of hauling about the farm. The question whether a truck will pay requires Intelligent thought. The In vestment Is considerable, but if a truck will displace four or more horses, It will pay In money and sat isfaction. If It Is desired to add to the heap from time to time the top layer may be opened and the new material emp tied Into the hole thus made. This Is convenient for the suburban home where there is no animal to consume the kitchen waste. In the spring the heap la well mixed with a fork and the compost Is ready to be spread on the garden plot. The heating manure will effectively destroy any weed 6eed present nnd will also break down the structure of most of the materials that have been thrown upon the pile. The process may be continued Indefi nitely by simply adding enough ma nure to Insure heating. Compost Is especially valuable for use In hotbeds and cold frames. Birds for Breeders. Great emphasis should be placed on the selection of the most vigorous birds for breeders. This point cannot be overemphasized. Obtain Most Eggs. More eggs cun be produced from n combination of alfalfa or clover and grains thun from the grains alone.
