C 'Swl i fill 1 ggsmi Brera Egg Settings Need To Be Tested TO ALLOW a btoody hen to Bit on infertile egi;s is not an economical practice, 'i .ie eggs should be test ed, and all infertile ones removed. By romoving the infertile eggs those re maining will have a better cbance of hatching, since there is not the danger of chilling. To leave infertile eggs in the nest endangers those containing Jive chicks. As incubation progresses, the shell of the infertile egg becomes more and more rotten, and there is danger of the infertile eggs becoming broken and the contents closing the pores of the fertile eggs, which if the coating is complete, results in the death of the chick. In setting bens it is a good practice to set at least five hens at a time. When tha eggs are tested on the sevei tti day, tho chances are that suffi cient infertile eggs will be found that all the fertile eggs can be given to four, heus and one of the heca re-sot.

On farms where poultry are neglected it is safe to assume that the nests arc worse neglected than my other feature of the poultry establishment. In the majority of neglected flocks it will doubtless be found that n-.ites are pres ent. In fact, we have found it a com mon sentiment among farmers that all flocks have mites. The presence of mites in the poultry house means that they are enormously abundant in the nests, where they hide under the nest material. When some nestB are lifted up it is found that the under part of the straw 1b alive with these very small ma rauders. Think of hens trying to Btay long enough on such nests to deposit ggs but, what is worse, think of hens trying to hatch out broods with these parasites attacking them nightly. Where mites are present the nests mast be cleaned out every few days and the old material burned. Also the nests boxes should have the eracks fill ed up to prevent the mites from finding a hiding place. One of the very good atcrials to use for this purpose is what If called "tar" in the East and pitch" in the West. It is the kind ased on the hulls and rigging of vessels end is not tbe eoal tar so commonly ajed for various purposes. Tbe pitch ii solid and easily fills rp tbe cracks and all apertures and Vill last forever. It can usually be pur chased in small quantities and will be found oaWal U have about. IriS NOT PRACTICAL to spend the time necessary under ordinary con ditions to figure out an extra ra tion for each . individual cow. It is practicable, however, to make a mix ture of grains and other concentrates and to feed each cow from thin grain mixture in proportion to her daily milk yield, and then to give her all the roughage she will eat up clean, and be reasonably sure that she has had all the food she needs to produce milk to tbe limit of her ability under ordi nary conditions. The following rules of feeding are suggested by tbe Pennsylvania station: 1. Peed grain in proportion to milk yield, that is, give her, for example one pound of grain mixturo a day for each three or four pounds of milk pro duced in one day. 2. Feed all the roughage that the cow will eat up clean, np to the point where she gains too much weight. 3. Whenever she becomes too fat, re duce the amount of roughage, leaving the amount of grain to be determined by the milk yield. When a cow leaves uneaten either grain or roughago which is free from mold, dirt or foreign material, it should be removed immediately, the manger swept clean and a much small er amount given until her appetite re turns, as evidenced by the cleaning np of her manger. Keep the sheep's fleece clean and free from bnrs if you wish to get the top price of tbe market for your wool. From 05 per cent of deaths by hog cholera, tbe serum treatment in Missouri is said to have redueed deaths to 14 per cent. Would Rather Farm Than Dance V'" Mrs. C. E. Conant, Woman Farmer. MRS. C. E. CONANT arrived at Saa It I Francisco from Honolulu recently on tbe liner Matsonla with a host of ideas obtained on Hawaiian plantations which she will use in the imperial Val ley, where she is to be a "farmerette." Until April 1 she was Hiss Margaret Fewtress. Mr. Conant, whom she mar ried, is a New ork lawyer, who made a fortuno ranching in the Imperial Valley. They went to Honolulu for a honeymoon, "Farm life is splendid," said Mrs, Conant today. "I can hardly wait till I get down to tbe ranch.
