Through the depart- ment of agriculture, Harvey D. Eich of this city has received a quantity of seed direct from Russia and this was sent to the ranch today for plant- ing. The experiment in the growing of Russian grain will be tie first to be made in this district, it is said, and upon the result of the first crop will probably rest the future of that particular grain culture in Tuba county.

Probably a great many readers are unaware of the fact that there is a pretty direct connection between the milk supply and the egg supply, not- withstanding the fact that cows do not lay eggs nor do hens give milk. It is. of course, generally recognized that milk supplies what may be de- scribed as a greater number of units of nutritive value for the same amount of money than does practically any other article of food. The connection between the milk and the egg supply lies in the only re- maining solid ingredient of the milk, namely, albumen. We all know that the white of an egg is composed en- tirely of albumen and water. There- fore, it is not a far step to see how this albumen would be an especially valuable food for poultry.
