Even anon we have found that the embryo chicks are not always killed, or.even harmed. While we take no stock in the Chun - der theory any more, yet we try to avoid all sudden jars or shocks direct to the egg, as well es rough handling in shipment, The success of hatches is almost always in direct propot$ion to the care given the eggs when the fertility is strong.

Now, in 1 place of confining my efforts to two a or three staple crops which formerly r1 produced only a meager living, I grow W 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 for pound for feeding hogs, But 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- tein feed like tankage Is fed along with the barley and other .feeds. ttee tanglefoot, its IU will stay sticky longer than the other substances.
