Often and t Kept in Dry Place. in Handling, Marketing and Shipping They Should) Not Be Exposed, to -'Draughts and 8hou!d Be i Properly Protected. - . - . -j (By N. E CHAPMAN.) The common-causes of loss may be classed under several heads: Small eggs, dirty eggs, breakage, shrunken and rotten eggs, moldy and flavored eggs. Eggs must weigh two ounces or over to be classed as,No.,l. Light er eggs should - be consumed on the farnv rather than be sold at a re duced price. : Like eggs too small, eggs abnormally large or misshaped should be used at home, for such will be . easily crushed In the case, and are always classed as "seconds. About five eggs out of each hun dred marketed are classed as "dir- Out of Every Dozen Eggs That Leave the Farm, but Ten Are Fit to Be Delivered to Customer. ties." These ars stained, smeared, muddy, or covered with filth. The odor . of whatever soils the T&gg will soon- penetrate the shell and flavor the contents. Market eggs should never be washed, as they take odors more rapidly and soon are stale. Eggs may be washed,' however, for use at home. Eggs carried to market in bran are generally classed , as "dir ties." The bran adheres to the shell, and is difficult to remove. It Is estimated that eight per cent of the eggs are broken in moving from producer to consumer. Check ed, dented or leaking eggs soon sour, and must be marketed .at greatly re duced prices. - If checked or broken on the way to market, they should be taken home for use in the family. Eggs , should be gathered, often and kept In a cool, dry place' until the first , opportunity for marketing. Broody hens should be taken from the nests at once, and confined by themselves,, unless needed for hatch ing purposes. After the, hatching sea son is over, all roosters should be sold or confined, and not allowed to run with the laying flock during the gummer. Hens will la$ more eggs, and be in better, health . without the male birds. Infertile eggs are far su perior for L preserving, shipping and storing. - Sixty-five per cent of the contents of a fresh egg is water; and because of a porous shell this evaporates rap idly under most conditions, resulting in loss of weight and value. As soon as the newly-laid egg cools, -an air- cell appears, which increases in size as the contents shrink from evapora tion. Shrunken eggs may be detect ed by "candling,"' or ty gently shak ing when held to the ear. When the "gurgle" of the contents is distinct, the egg is questionable. The mem brane of such eggs is often ruptured in handling and shipping, resulting in "frothy" eggs, of poor quality. In the summer, eggs should receive the same care and consideration as sweet milk and cream, and be marketed daily, if possible. They should not be exposed to draughts of warm air, Have Only Uniform, Standard-Bred, Laying Stock. and should be protected from the rays of the sun and - moisture, in handling, marketing and shipping. Moisture is the main cause of rot ten eggs. Nests oh the ground or in wet straw, together with damp cel lars and moist "fillers" in egg cases, are mainly responsible for this con dition. A fresh egg will - absorb odors as rapidly , as fresh milk. Mustiness or moldy growth in egg cases or fillers will taint the egg and lower its quality. Eggs should not be stored in musty cellars, or in rooms with fruit vegetables or fish. The chickens should never be allow ed to drink filthy water, be fed musty grain or strong-flavored - vegetables, as onions and garlic, nor given access to decaying meat or substances that will flavor, the product and impair its quality. . ' - , Cutting Cowpeas. Cowpeas may be cut with the mow er, and after getting at least a full day's sun the vines are raked up. and generally lie another day in the wind row. They are then bunched up in small bunches and after another day or two put into larger bunches and let stand as long as weather permits, when they are drawn to the barn.. OATS AND BARLEY STUBBLE Land Should Be' Plowed fn Augest to . Allow Sufficient Time for the " - Weeds to Rot. ' ' . If the oats and barley land is to be drilled to grain in the fall, it should be plowed In August to give time for the weeds to rot and the ground to settle, Bays a writer in the Baltimore Ameri can. If the ground is dry and so hard as to make it impossible to. plow, put three horses In the sulky cultivator. A better implement is the. steel cutaway disk. Set the teeth to run deep and cut the ground over By harrowing the field lengthwise and then across, most of the weeds can be turned under and the hard surface broken up, mak ing it much . easier to plow as soon as the August rains set in. The stubble and weeds should be plowed under and not burnt, as these, when rotted, add to the fertility of the soil and tend to make it capable of holding more mois ture. Long stalk or strawy manure should either be spread evenly ovei the field and plowed under or used as a top dressing after the - grain Is drilled in. If the .manure is rotted and fine, spread it on top 'of the plowed ground and harrow it in as soon as spread. The quickest and most eco nomical method is to use a spreader. as it can then be spread evenly and Just the right quantity to the . acre One of the great advantages in the use of the spreader is in cutting up -the lumps and strawy portions as It is be ing spread. , Two men with a two-horse spreader will haul and spread more manure thah four - men will spread from wagon or cart. The manure should not be put out In little piles, but spread direct from the wagon and har rowed Into the top soil before it dries. There is then no loss of fertility. ; DAMAGE BY ALFALFA WEEVIL Larvae From Eggs Laid in Stems of , Plants Work Much J n jury by Feeding Upon the Buds. Although In the middle" west no alfalfa harming Insect has yet caused widespread damage, Utah farmers have a serious pest to contend with known as the alfalfa weevil. It made Its first appearance in 1907, coming from Europe. The adult weevil Is a hard shelled beetle, about 3-16 inch long, brown In color with a darker Adult Male of the Alfalfa Weevil, k Greatly Enlarged. stripe down the back. It lives over winter in sheltered places much the same as chinch bugs and in the early spring lays its eggs. in- the alfalfa stems. The larvae from these eggs do the damage by feeding upon the buds for a period, of about six weeks if unmolested. . Control methods recommended by the Utah station include keeping the alfalfa growing rapidly In the spring by disking or spring toothing, remov ing the first crop as soon as serious injury occurs, followed with thorough spring tooth and brush dragging, and rotation of alfalfa every four or five years. As with chinch bugs it ,is ad visible to keep out of the way places clean of sheltering grass and refuse and securing the co-operation of whole communities in fighting the pest. Horses for Deep Plowing. Deep plowing is essential to good farming to increase fertility and mois ture for better crops. Heavy draft horses, says the Live Stock Journal, are the first essential for deep plow ing and big loads. Deep and shallow plowing has had a long time con troversy and . the deep plowing has won the victory for better farming by the scientific experts at the agricul tural colleges, and farmers who have good draft-horse teams plow deep, and the farmers with light 6crub teams must still skim along and put up with light crops until they can get the heavy draft teams that can pull a big 16-lnch plow down to the beam that will produce big crops. A Stitch In Time. Don't forget to fix the fences. A trip around the pasture and field fences now and then will often save trouble, strength, and the time ofhav ing to drive the cattle back into 'the pasture. Animals are almost human when it comes to going where some She does not want them. Remove the suggestion, therefore, by not allowing any sag3 in the wire or any loose or decayed posts in the line. 'A well- kept fence is an indication of a good farmer. C. P. Bull, Associate in Farm Crops, University Farm, St. Paul. Feeding Effects Wool. - Proper and intelligent feeding adds to the quality of every kind of live stock or product the feeder may have to put on the market. Even the wool that comes from the back of the sheep Is good, bad or Indifferent, according to the manner in which it has beeh teC Keeping Grain Land Busy. The waste land lying Idle after the wheat, rye, oats, potatoes and corn are harvested is craving for some thing to produce. A good seeding of winter vetch, crimson or rape will Im prove the soil and give early pas tures. i i TO BRING . SETTLERS SOUTH : - t r Southern Railway to Make Splendid Exhibits of the South at Northern Fairs, . ... V , Washington, D.; C Splendid ex hibits of Southern farm, products, showing the alluring agricultural op portunities awaiting industrious set tlers in the territory along their lines, will be made by the Southern Rail way and affiliated companies, (includ ing the Mobile & Ohio, the Georgia, Southern & Florida, the Alabama Great Southern, the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific, and the Virginia & Southwestern) at three great expositions and thirty-five dis trict and county fairs in the North and Middle West ' during the late summer and fall' This is-the most extensive' campaign of this character ever undertaken for attracting set tlers to the Southern States and will place their advantages in the most striking way before thousands of sturdy farmers of. just the type that Is desired In the South. . Special exhibits will be made at the Canadiajn National Exhibition at To ronto, August 23 to September 8, the attendance of which touches the mil lion mark, the famous dairy show at Waterloo, low aj f in November, and the International Live StACk'Exposition in Chicago during November and De cember. Exhibits at district and coun ty fairs In New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minne sota, have been arranged in four cir cuits, running from August 5 to late in October. ; The work of preparing these ex hibits has been under way since the close of the fair season in 1912. Since the beginning of the new crop season, agents have been at work with the result that from every state on the lines of the Southern System, there have come most representative collec tions of agricultural products, Includ ing grains, grasses, vegetables, and fruit. Large . photographs' showing farm and other views In the South will also be used. The exnibits will be in Charge of agents who are thoroughly familiar with conditions in the South and who will be on nand constantly to give information desired about any locality. Special leaflets and booklets have been prepared and several hun dred thousand will be placed in the hands of prospective settlers. These exhibits are being made en tirely at the expense of the Southern Railway and affiliated lies. The ter ritory served by them and the whole Southeast will be given wide advertis ing which should be productive of much good for the section. In addition .to this series of ex hibits at Northern fairs and exposi tions ,the Jouthert Railway and"affl liated lines will rrake educational ex hibits" at a large number of fairs throughout the South, detailed an nouncement of which will be made later.

The Bible story of Noah and the flood Is confirmed in many details by Bapylonian hierogly phics, written 4,000 years ago or more, according to announcement fhade by the University of Pennsylvania. The writing on a tablet an epic ,of great length purporting to reach back to the creation has been deciphered at the University by Dr. Arno Poebl, the announcement says.
