PLAN WINDBREAKS FOR NEXT SPRING Scheme May Be Worked Out During Summer. . By 1. I, Dayls, Extension FortMr, Univmrftjr <rf niinoU.--WHV Sarvic*. Although it is too late in the year to make windbreak plantings of trees on farms, it is not too late to start making plans for plantings to be made next spring. Preparations which can be made during spare time this summer for a protection planting next spring include marking out the area, digging a diversion ditch to drain barnyard water around the windbreak planting, fencing the area to be planted and plowing the ground in the'fall. "Trees are bes| ordered early to assure getting the desired varieties before supplies run out," Davis states in his new circular, Nd. 27, "Windbreaks for Illinois Farmsteads/' which has just been published by the Natural History Survey in co-operation with the agricultural college. Detailed information on planning, planting and caring for a windbreak are contained in the circular along with a description of the kind of trees available, their advantages and disadvantages. Copies of the circular may be obtained by writing the agricultural college at Urbana. "Illinois farmers are taking a renewed interest in windbreaks," Davis said. "Demonstration plantings showing' the best practices for establishing and maintaining windbreaks have been made on farms in 12 Illinois counties this spring. More are being planned for next year. "Most ornamental nurseries grow the types of trees satisfactory fot windbreaks and some of the larger nurseries specialize in producing windbreak trees." v Information oh sources and prices of windbreak planting stock may be obtained by writing Davis at the agricultural college.

Eggs Require Special Care During Warm Days " The warm days of summer are the danger days in the high-qi4B«y egg trade. Unless poultrymen maintain a watchful eye and exercise the greatest of care, many factors that easily escape attention, may result in the loss of customers, says a writer in the Rural New-Yorker. Egg quality deteriorates rapidty at temperatures over 70 degrees. Hot days, high temperatures in the poultry house, broody birds remaining on the oests, are often the cause of a lack of freshness in the product. Eggs should be gathered three. or four times daily in clean, well-cushioned containers. Leaky, cracked or soft-shelled eggs should be placed in separate containers when collecting to prevent soiling of the eggs and possible contamination from odors of oil, or other pungent material. As soon as the eggs have been gathered, they should be placed in a cool, dry room, free from odors and where the temperature is not over 50 degrees. Eggs should be graded to size, candled, packed in clean, attractive containers, and marketed at least twice a week. In shipping, they should be protected from the sun and wind. Miss Zue Gallaher has resigned her position as night operator at the local Chicago Telephone company's exchange. The vacancy has already been filled by Miss Tillie Stewart The fire ldss of the Johnsburgh Creamery company, insured by the Aetna Insurance company, through their agent, fos. W. Freund ,has been promptly settled in full all loss to the entire satisfaction of the patrons. Price of butter was fixed at 24 cents per pound by the Elgin board of trade, Monday. Work on the new milk factory at Johnsburg is progressing nicely. The foundation has been completed and the cement work commenced on the building proper. FORTY YEARS AGO Bitter Butter < - -- Bitter butter may be due to bftter milk or to the salt used, says J. R. Dice, head of the North Dakota Agricultural College dairy department. Milk from cows in poor physical condition, or from cows that have reached an advanced stage in the milking period, mdy produce bitter butter, butter that has a poor texture, or the cream may refuse to churn out entirely. If sample tests of the individual cows fail to indicate the responsibility for the bitter flavor, examine the salt being used. Chemically impure salt, especially salt containing relatively large amounts of magnesium salts or calcium chloride, or both, may give ttat butter a bitter flavor. John Heimer sold his fine yojing gelding "Centerville" last week to a party from DeKalb, for $275. The grand opening and dedication of A.

This feed-lot truism, well understood by experienced live stock men, was demonstrated again this past year in Four-H Club western lamb feeding projects at Spencer and Waterloo, Iowa. Reducing the corn ration and legume hay ration actually doubled the cost of producing a hundred pounds of gain in many of the lots. Order your rubber stamps at ttf Plaimfealer. Segregate Roostew In order to protect the interior quaLiy of eggs, roosters should be removed from the breeding pen as soon as the hatching season is over. If the male remains with the hens, the eggs will be fertile, and if a fertile egg is held at a temperature ranging above 68 degrees Fahrenheit, the germ will develop. A fertile e$£ will deteriorate much more rapidly than an infertile egg. An infertile egg seldom rots, Jout a fertile egg will decompose Efpidly. ConAift the, WANT ADS P> D.
