The tmoeter is a very necessary part
of the flock during the hatehing e.ea-,
sere but as saon as the last setting
has been made his usefulness is ended
and it is time to bid him good-bye.
Roosters eat considerable feed during
the summer and do not add to the egg
production. This puts them in the
same elass with the cull hens and they
should be given the same treatment.
At least ninety-nine per cent. of the
roosters should be either sold or eaten
as soon as the breeding season has
passed and all others should be care-
fully penned away from the hens.
Dealers are glad to buy discarded
males and often pay a good premium
in order to get them out of the coun-
try.
Only the exceptioera rooster is
worth saving for the next yea's
breeding pen. Yearling males are more
active and give better fertility than
the older birds and are to be preferred
except by the man who is practicing
line breeding. If a rooster is to be
saved for the next year's breeding,
then he should by alit means be penned
during the summer to keep him away
from the laying hens. The infertile
egg is the only quality egg in sum-
mer and to produce infertile eggs all
mature males must be kept away from
the laying flock.
Here are seven rules for getting
the most money from the stuniner
1. Produce infertile eggs by remov-
ing tin? roosters from the ileac in the
summer time.
21 -Provide clean nests and keep the
eggs clean.
3. Do not wash eggs.
4. Gather eggs twice daily Ceing
the summer to preventethern from be-
ing heated by the hen.
^ 5. Keep them in a cool, dry piece,
away from the flies.
0. Market them at least twice each
week.
7. Insist that they be bought on a
quality graded basis.

that on the recommendation of the en these soils had led many to sow
alfalfa on the lighter soils where the
moisture supply is already deficient.
Sonia orchards have been transferred
into hay fields, the alfalfa receiving
more care and thought than the orch-
ard itself. Too much of the crop is
removed from the land.
We must remember that we must
have sufficient moisture to feed both
the alfalfa and the orchard during the
dry summer months. There are very
few orchards with soils capable of
doing this, since orchards are usually
located on the hilly land, Or land well
drained, rather than on bottom lands.
The crop might be well enough if it
were turned under or disked into the
orchard soil, but to think of harVest-
ing both fruit and alfalfa is out of the
question.
A Good Soil Builder.
Clover is an excellent soil 'builder,
and if used as a cover crop, will sup-
ply nitrogen and organic matter to the
soil. The same difficulties lire en-
countered with clover as with alfalfa
and must be guarded against. As a
rule, clover should never be left in an
orchard for more than two years with-
out being turned under. Special are
should be taken on light soils, where
the crop should be turned under by all
means, and will prove the best pos.
fable crop fot this purpose. To pure
Federal Minister of Agriculture regu-
lations shall be formulated for the
grading of dairy products intended
for export for the establishing of
grading storages, for the issue of
grading -certificates, for the special
marking of dairy products to he grad-
ed, for the establishment of standards,
definition and grades of such products,
for the arrangement of fees, for ap-
peals to the Dairy Commissioner as
to grading and for the appointment of
graders and the definition of penal-
ties. Another measure designates
August 31, 1922, for the limitation of
the manufacture or importation of
oleomargarine and March 1, 1923, as
the limit for its sale.
A third Act extends the period dur-
ing which compensation shall be paid
for animals officially slaughtered to
prevent and check contagion to May
24, 1924, or for three years. At the
same session appropriations for the
purpose of agriculture, including the
$1,100,000 divided among. the prov-
inces under the Agricultural Instruc-
tion Act, amounting to $6,649,214.50
