yet the number of chicks that came
out of the shells appeared quite nor-

We have also had good hatches in
spite of blasting or other such shocks,
except when the vibrations were so
near or severe that they leveled build -

anon we have found that the embryo
chicks are not always killed, or.even
harmed.
While we take no stock in the Chun -

avoid all sudden jars or shocks direct

in shipment, The success of hatches
is almost always in direct propot$ion
to the care given the eggs when the

Barley As Hog Feed.
Barley will supply grain for hogs
sooner titan any other crop. A large
number of farmers have been asking
about this crop because of the scarcity
of manure corn for feeding hogs 'this
spring and summer, and because com-
merciel hog feeds are so costly,
Earley is about equal to corn, pound

While corn does not need to be ground
for pigs, barley should. The grains
are too small and hard to be masticat-
ed and digested readily when whole.
While the pigs may net like the burley
very well at first, they will soon be-
come accuetomed to it. But they will
clo better if ground barley is mixed
half and half with middlings or some
other -palar table hog feed, Gains are
more rapid, too, when some high pro-
