Kansas is Proud of Her United States District Attorney. The people of Kansas are proud of the U.S. district attorney for Kansas, who has served the government in that office for the past seven years. He has good will as well as the endorsement of President Taft the attorney general, Senator Curtis and the Kansas delegation in Congress. save and except Joseph Bristow, who would like to have Mr. Bone bow down to him and beg him to vote for his confirmation. This Harry will not do, because he has read somewhere in the Holy Writ. "Thou shalt not bow down to them nor serve them" Mr. Bone is said to be one of the most vigorous prosecutors in America. He has no superiors and but few equals. He has succeeded in unearthing land frauds in the West and has broken up several gangs who were preying upon the people in Colorado and other states. He caused the packers of Kansas City to pay into the government several thousand dollars on olcomargerine falsely stamped and sold. He broke up the night riders in western Kansas who had set out to drive colored land holders from their claims He tried to get Governor Stubbs to assist. He convicted them in Wichita, worked up the evidence and caught them red-handed. He is a man who is calm and im passionate; a diplomat, always kind, jovial and never gets mad so any one can notice it. He has been in office six years and his clerks say he has he's first time to give a cross word to them. Mr. Bone came from Ashland to be private secretary to Governor Bailey. It was he who placed an electric buzz under the governor's bed when he got married causing some little annoyance to the newlywed couple until the trick was discovered. He often plays harmless jokes on his friends. He is one of the best entertainers to be found anywhere, always making it pleasant for those around him. His friends are legion. He fought Stubbs from start to finish, from the White House to the governor's office, and made him back up on every false statement made concerning the running of the district attorney's office. The president and attorney general have placed the stamp of approval on the forehead of Mr Bore, so what is the use of Bristow's continued wailing. Mr Bone is in big demand. Kansas would do well to some day place him in the presidential cabinet. He would make an ideal attorney general. Keep your eye on him. We look for great things for the fellow from the short grass country. A Progressive Citizen. George H.

Members of the legal fraternity throughout the country are discussing the severe rebuke administered Thomas B. Felder, attorney-general-elect of Georgia, by Judge Emory Speer of the United States court for using the word "nigger." Judge Speer became so provoked at Felder's constant use of the word that he threatened the attorney general-elect with disbarment unless he conducts himself in a more gentlemanly manner. Felder is counsel for several white planters who are under indictment for peonage. Last Saturday in outlining the case to the jury Felder repeatedly referred to the colored plaintiff as "nigger." Finally, Judge Speer said: "Mr. Felder, don't you think the future attorney general of the state of Georgia can spare us this 'nigger, nigger, nigger'? It sounds so unworthy of your own position at the bar to be aludi g to these poor creatures constantly in the lower terms of degradation." Felder replied notly, 'I think I know my duties and rights as a lawyer, an American lawyer, practising in an American court." Judge Speer retorted; "You are exceeding those rights, and if you insist upon using this language, which is nothing but an appeal to the lowest race prejudice, I will have to sever our relations not only in this case but in all cases in this court. I do not believe the American judiciary will operate the use of such language in the presence of a court of justice on the part of a gentleman who as a condition precedent to his admission to the bar has sworn to support the constitution and laws of the United States. Now I do not wish to do anything of the sort, but I beg of you to use the language of which I know you are capable, the language of a cultivated gentleman, and save as the never ending nigger, nigger, nigger. I want you to act as becomes a lawyer in this court Folder ignored Judge Speet's final remarks and resumed his address, but did not again use the word 'migger WICHITA Le William J. Parker, of New York, is making lively for his white competitor. He has been practicing only five years, and his practice extends to point pleasant and long branch. He has purchased a new car and is making good. Revolving Wheel Makes Neat Edges to Lawn and Along Walk-- Tyro Can Work It. The mere mowing of the grass is only a small part of the labor required to keep a lawn in attractive shape. The trimming of the turf along the edges of walks and flower beds is an important feature and is work that requires a certain amount of skill and experience. If done with old fashioned tools A New Hampalife man, however, has devised an implement that he calls the "rotary lawn 1. Rotary Turf Trimmer. edger," which enables the veriest tyre of a gardener to keep the edges of his grass neatly trimmed. The edger consists of a long handle and a sharp wheel mounted at the lower end. The wheel can be held stationary by means of a cotter pin, but under normal conditions it revolves. A step near the bottom of the handle enables the gardener to press the wheel into the turf with the foot and by running the tool along the edge of a walk the grass there can be trimmed in rapid time. Probably More Garden Truck Ruined For Want of Being Thinned Than by Any Other Cause. Do not be afraid to thin out your plants—they must not be crowded. Probably more garden stuff has been ruined for want of being thinned at the proper time than by any other cause. However that may be, one of the most puzzling things for the beginner is to find out whether any particular vegetable should be thinned or transplanted and how far apart the plants should stand afterward. He will get some help from the catalogues as to the distances, but whether he should transplant or thin is the kind of thing that is not in the book. It requires a great deal of nerve to pull up and destroy the unnecessary seedling—more nerve than the amateur possesses. They say that a person never becomes a good gardener until he steels his nerve to this ruthless sacrifice. A vegetable must have plenty of room to develop its best size and flavor and one can take no pride in small or commonplace vegetables. True it is that "the worst weed in corn is corn." FARM NOTES Never plant melons near squashes or pumpkins Let the rows run north and south; this gives the most sun exposure. Young babies and young plants must have the right kind of food and plenty of it to make them grow. If your plants grow tall and sprightly thin them out. Do not be afraid to cut- go at them courageously. If you keep a lot of cats, you won't have birds about the place. Birds destroy a great many insect pests. Tomato seeds are easily preserved and if you have extra good ones pick out the best and save the seeds. Good seed, good cultivation, good common sense are a pretty good combination, if good crops are desired. It is a great thing to know just when a plant needs water. It is a matter that requires close observation. Seed potatoes in the cellar may look all right on top and be badly sprouted in the bottom of barrels and bins; better investigate. Too much water is as bad as too little, because the surplus fills up the interstices at the soil, excludes the air and smothers the plants. Root crops should be planted together, as well as vine crops, such as cucumbers, melons, etc., also tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and the like. Two essentials are necessary for the rapid insuring of vegetables—a soil made light with sand, and rich with well rosted manure, and a wind break. The city house wife cannot understand why the farmers are not all rich when she considers the enormous price she pays for vegetables and fruit. A well planned garden is one that will allow as much of it as possible to be cultivated with a horse. Hooping in the garden doesn't set well with most of us. Plan to plant crops that live from year to year, like asparagus, rhubarb, strawberry and the like, at one end, so that they will not interfere when you cultivate the annual vegetable. AGENTS WANTED Colored men or women solicitors wanted in every city for a strictly legitimate proposition paying good commissions. Must have education, education, energy, acquaintance and good address and furnish good references. This is an opportunity worth investigating. Address Lock Box 244, Topcks., Kansas.

Most womenfolk find it no easy job to kill a chicken. Of course they should never be asked to do it if there is a man in sight, or within call, but if she has to, the guillotine will help her to do it easily as neatly. An old corn knife ground to a sharp edge and kept sharp, stened to a block, will do the work. Place the chicken's head between the spikes, Quilletine for the Chickens. hold the tips of the wings and legs together in one hand, so it cannot flop about, draw it tight, and the knife will do the rest in a twinkling. SUMMER FEED FOR POULTRY Chickens May Be Turned Into Garden With Profit Except at Certain Perlode—Eat Many Bugs. Lettuce is a good feed for poultry, and a bed of it should be started early for the purpose of giving the fowls a supply of green stuff. The fowls like it best if they can pull it from the stam as it stands in the bed. Cutting up the lettuce and feeding it in the yard is wasteful, as the fowls eat little of it when fed in that way. rape will grow rapidly, even if the soil is not dug up The fowls should be turned into it when it has reached a height of about one foot. They will strip the sides off the leaf and leave the stems and midveins As soon as the poultry are taken out of the yard for a time, the plants will begin to push out new growth from the stems and midveins, and this process can be continued all summer. There is a saying that hens and gardens do not go well together. This is a mistake; the hens can be turned into the garden with profit to themselves and the garden except during certain periods. One of these is just after the seeds have been planted and are coming up. At such a time the hens will do much damage by scratching. Another time when they must be excluded from the garden is when the tomatoes are ripe, as they will pick them. After the plants in the spring have become thoroughly started, the hens can safely be turned in. The more they scratch the better it is for the plants. They also help to keep the plants free from bugs. The farmer cannot afford to keep his poultry shut up in summer, except during short periods, as mentioned above. The great advantage the farmer has over the city and village poultry raiser is that he can make his poultry work for him. The bug population of every farm is very great, and this population is drawn upon by the fowls. 8caly Lecs. If any of the fowls show scaly legs the best remedy is kerosene mixed with lard and sulphur. Apply it warm with a brush at intervals of a week apart. Then, since this trouble is supposed to be caused by parasites upon the perches, see to it that the roosts are thoroughly swabbed off in kerosene POULTRY NOTES Sunshine and cleanliness are the best medicine. These are gala days for lice. Fight them strong and hard. But do not forget that shade is sometimes necessary in the hot days. Kerosone will do deadly work. Pour it in every crack and crevice. Don't spare it. Watch the gift box. The hens are doing so. Don't let them catch you mapping and the box empty. The keeping of the flock free from disease is the first great factor in the list of requisites for success. The waste of grain on every farm is great; but a good flock of hens will glenn much of it and turn it into meat and eggs. Be sure that the drinking fountain is kept in a cool place and renewed as frequently as you would like for your own drinking. It is almost a waste of time on your part as well as that of the hen to set her in a nest and in a house infested with vermin. The poultry raiser who is too lazy to keep his poultry house absolutely free from vermin does not deserve success nor will he have it. Allow the cool air to enter the houses at night by taking out the windows, but do not forget to have inch-mesh wire netting fastened to the opening to keep out the enemies. Watch the condition of the young chickens. If they are moping, look for lice, especially the large gray louse found on the head of the chick. A drop of sweet oil will soon and his ears.

SWISHER, Prop Salina, Kansas NOTES FROM MEADOWBROOK FARM By William Pitt Guard against the perch. Sunflower seed is hard to harvest. Dogs are also a drawback to sheep raising. Fir is better than tamarack for silo construction The depth to plow will depend upon the character of the soil A pig that is fed grain all his life usually falls to lay exposures Cows become much harassed by the heat, and snow it largely in their milk flow. The leaf roller is a little insect that in its larva stage is injurious to straw berries. When your town cannot pay for their feed, it's time to change the feed or the corn To do good work the cream separator must be level and on a good solid foundation. Allalfa is one of the oldest cultivated plants the farmers of the world have knowledge of. In cutting tractors of timber the owner should aim to grow a young and vigorous forest in place of the old one. If you have a match of anything green let the children run it. They will scratch up a lot of their running in wet. The slab enables the dairyman to keep more livestock on the same number of acres and at less cost if feed and labor. Only potatoes entirely free from disease should be planted for diseased seed will be sure to grow and diseased crop. The term "bush fruits" includes a great variety of small fruits, which are borne on low growing, upright or trailing woody stems. Every dairyman should conduct his business in such a manner that he can say to any man, "I am a dairyman and I am proud of it." There is no crop which will furnish as large an amount of nutritious feed for hogs as alfalfa after it has once gotten a good growing start. The farmer who plants corn that he is not sure will grow is acting or sensibly as the man who loads a gun with ball but no powder. Every successful poultry breeder is frequently asked which breed of poultry is the best and he as often has to say that there is no best breed. Provide clean dry hay or straw or a suitable material for the nests, now the material frequently and always when it becomes wet and soiled. Plan to raise a little stock of petral gurps on standard bird birds this sen- son. They will yield much more fat inflection and profit than a mixed flock. The liquid mixture contains a large part of the nitrogen added by the animal, and is therefore of especial value and should be taken up by straw or other litter. A whole lot of the trouble caused by the marketing of stale eggs is caused by the lack of nests. The ber hiders her nest and sometimes the eggs are not discovered for days. Bad health weak vitality of breeding stock, insufficient moisture on the lack of it in the incubation and the lack of attention on the part of the operator is the cause of chicks dying in the shell. More broilers squats and juices are being demanded each year. Of course, more are also being produced but there are plenty of good markets left for all the chicken products that can be produced. Spinach is one of the best things to grow. It is better to sow it in the fall for as a rule it cannot be sown early enough in the spring to get a good start. However we have been many fine beds of spring grown spinach. It should be borne in mind that the roots of alfalfa are fine and tender and are not liable to start well in a coarse or cloudy soil, so it is exceedingly important to put the seed bed in the very best condition, as fine as for garden seeds. Corn up the poultry yard. Corniness is essential in dairying. The cereberry is closely related to it currents. Corn there is the keynote of euc cornice dairy. Canker of culls is a disease that is some more seen in the pig. Seed potatoes should be carefully cared for traces of dry rot. Just to constant work with the cultu- tator weeds will grow in the potato field. keep a supply of wheat bran before all your chickens of all ages at all times The quality of the plant ripened tomato is much better than of house ripened fruits Soil that blows badly may be improved by scattering straw or manure over the surface Corn properly planted can be given its first working before the rows can be distinctly seen The production of milk reasonably free from bacteria is simply a question of cleanliness There is no better general feed than good green grass for growing and producing farm animals Here for incubation should be of a quiet disposition and on friendly terms with their keeper. It has been proven by many tests that village increases the production of nfl and lowers the cost. Touch the young colts to eat a mixture of crushed oats wheat bran and oil meal as soon as possible. The larger amount of feed an animal will come in all things considered, the more profitable will the animal be Now cow peas before you plow your potatoes for the last time. They will be up before the weeds get a start. Units of exceptional value, after the third year, cope the hen fatten and eat for the she will be fine for that purpose. The dry method of feeding chickens consists in supplying nothing but grain, from the commencement of their lives. In hunting a sure get one of the same strain as the mare unless she is a scrub. There is little to be gained in crossing The foremost method of cultivating alfalfa is with the disk harrow, one of the most excellent farm implement ever invented. A huffy seed corn, if it has not been frosted and has been properly stored, generally germinates practically as well as mature seed corn. Five dollars invested in package material will pay many times the investment in the better prices the fruit will bring when properly packed. Harley seed germinates slowly, have ground very fine. Cover seed with fine rich soil mixed with manure or grass. Keep soil moist. In not try to force nature. In atting young fries for the market give the whole proper food freedom from the ard nature will do the rest The future of the mutton crop depends upon the attention given the young lambe, and the degree to which they are kept growing from the start The first week young ducks should be fed corn flour made of corn parts of wheat Iran and cornical, a little bent milk and soda to raise, and a lit the salt Horses always bring a higher price in the spring than in the fall, as many pastures will horses in the fall, pre- ferring not to keep them through the winter. Now a patch of cow peas near the pasture yard. Do not harvest the peas when tip but turn the hems into them when the green grass disappears and they will thrive upon them. Agricultural experiments show that if it is necessary to fertilize the soil to secure a crop of twenty bushels of wheat per acre, it is even more neces- sary to fertilize for a good crop of fruit. The majority of tutkey rakers have to raise their birds under unnatural conditions and have to adopt measures of protection and food that will conform as nearly as possible to their condition. Big farms are all right for those who are equipped to handle them properly, but they are not desirable for people who have not capital enough to hire plenty of help and organise in a businesslike way to secure good results. On no account allow free water to the ducks you intend to place upon the market. Many people regard water as essential to the growth of the young duck; this is not so! Too much water will result in the waste of a large proportion of the food given. Mr. Fred Howell of Manhattan, a former employee of this office, spent a few days to the city this week with friends.

It is also advisable to tie the horse's head while the blister is on, so that he cannot bite the part. FLESH FLIES BOTHER SHEEP Flock Should Be Watched Closely, Especially In Warm, Damp Weather, to Keep Pests Away. When the sheep's wool becomes filthy and the skin irritated an ideal condition is made for the work of the maggot fly. And when the maggots get a start they create a more and more friendly harbor for their kind as they work and increase in numbers under the wool, says the Sheep Breeder. A sheep infected with maggots is a most pitiful sight, helpless against the parasites eating out its flesh until sheep dies, its life gnawed out in a most cruel manner. For the sake of humanity, if for no other reason, sheep should be saved from such suffering. These files can do no damage if not given a suitable place to lay their eggs. Sheep should be watched carefully, especially in warm, damp weather, and dirty ting locks or other filth clipped off and a little tar dabbed on if the skin is chafed. These maggots also get in their work under rain's horns. Indeed a ram with heavy horns lying close to his head will hardly pass through a summer without infection unless the files are kept away by putting some tar on the ram's head. An infected sheep can be told by the fact that it refuses to eat, stands with its head down and most often bivitself and stamps its feet or jerks its head exactly as irritation by morggles would lead one to expect. The remedy is simple. Cut away the wool cloze. Clean out all maggots, using turpentine to wash them out. Smear the place thoroughly with tar. Then keep watch of the sheep to see that the files do not again start in the same place. Thoroughness in cleaning out the parasites is essential, for one last in will start the damage all over. The Idea Lcrar Static A well known rocker says The ideal stable is to have the horse facing north to obtain an even temperature it should not be too large so that you keep the air in the best under control, and not have a stable temperature either materially raised or lowered when half a doren animals are either taken out or brought in. The ventilation should be perfect and as strong as possible up to the iniquitous draught point. Let the ceiling be as high as convenient, and if the wise builder has left an inch or so open around the upper edge, where the stablemen cannot stop it up all the better. Apples for Colts. Apples given in small quantities make an excellent feed for colts. There is no better way of getting on good terms with the youngsters than by quartering sweet apples and feeding to them from the hand.

Use barnyard manure for fertilizing Study the comforts of the cows and young things. No kind of young stock grows so fast as a draft foal. Raspberries are propagated by seeds, sucker plants and tip plants. The currant must not be cultivated deeply, for it is a shallow-rooted plant Twenty acres of good corn put in the silo will feed 30 cows for a whole year. The raspberry and blackberry, like the strawberry, will succeed on any good corn soil. Water the horses before feeding. When fed first there is often more danger of colic. Care should be taken that the cow does not have to wade through fifth in the barnyard. Very few farmers take enough time in fitting the field for planting either corn or potatoes Watch sweet clover. It begins to look as if it had a very valuable place among our farm crops. Horses that are clipped dry off fast at night. This is better than having them stand around in a heavy wet coat. A teaspoonful of coal tar to a peck of corn, moistened with a little water, is said to be a protection against gophers. To be on the safe alda cabbage plants should be started in soil which has not been previously used for cabbage culture. The production of pure milk means obtaining the milk under scrupulously clean conditions and handling it in a cleanly manner. Farmers make more clear money from a stock of hens than from any other livestock, but they are more careless with them. Much may be done to increase the value of a woodlot by cutting out the unsound or unlikely trees which are crowding more valuable ones. When buying a sprayer, get one that throws a mist spray, as no other will get the solution uniformly distributed over all parts of the plant. Where orchard trees have been heavily pruned early in the season, many water sprouts, or "suckers" will be apt to grow in the center of the trees The chief value of alfalfa meal over alfalfa is that it is all fed up, and thus saves the waste impossible to prevent in woody or coarse alfalfa. The horses and even should be kept in good, thriving condition, not too fat nor too thin, and this can only be had by regular grain feeding throughout the year. The fertilization of the crop is only one of the several important considerations in growing a crop: seed, preparation of the soil and cultivation are equally important. The best way to start in the poultry business is to get a few hens and set them on good eggs. These should a ways be bought from a reliable breeder and should be from pure bred stock. Barnyard manure is the best general fertilizer to use about young fruit trees; one should be taken however, not to kill up about the tree trunk as it is able to burn the bark. In order that the len may be able to manufacture eggs she must be given material that will not only build up the wasting tissues, but will also furnish the right ingredients to make the eggs A catalpa grove will yield its first crop in about ten years, when each tree should produce one first-class post, one second-class post and two or three stays. From the small and crooked limbs considerable firewool is secured. The farmer who complains that his house lay all over the barn is apt to be a man that does not think cleaning the hen-house necessary. Stray eggs indicate the house do not like home, or needs with mites, aphids bugs and mold. Keep on cultivating the corn. The foolish man sells his best cows Electricity is coming to be a farm possibility. Carelessness is the greatest cause of failure in farming. The teeth and the feet of the horse should receive special attention. Protein, starch, fat, sugar and fiber are the nutrients that make up foods A rest just after foaling is worth more to the brood mare than just be fore In building a dairy barn one of the main points is to see that it is light enough. A good tomato plant should yield 30 pounds or one-half bushel, at a low estimate. The feet of the horse should be cleaned every morning before he leaves the stable. Government whitewash will preserve the wood of old buildings more cheaply than paint. Corn grown to rid land of weeds should be check rowed. On clean land drilling is satisfactory. A fully ripe tomato taken from the vine will weigh 20 per cent. more than one pulled and ripened indoors. The new born colt must have milk during the first half hour of its life, or the chances are that it will die. Apple trees should be sprayed im mediately to kill the eggs and the hatching young of the apple aphis The west has probably reached its limit in sheep production. Now the native lamb will get better attention The churn should be thoroughly scalded and cooled with clean, cold water before the cream is put into it It is said that 20 acres of corn put into the silo is worth more in feeding a dairy herd than 30 acres in the crib. The best dairy cow is the one that will convert the forage raised on the farm into the greatest amount of butter fat. White pine is one of the most profitable trees to raise, and can be planted to advantage on cutover land or worn out pastures. Brush the mud off the cow's udder and flank, then wipe off with damp cloth. You can't strain mud out of milk. Keep it out. No man or woman to whom the chickens are mere machines to swallow corn and shell out eggs can ever hope to get best results. There are some excellent dry chick feeds on the market at the present time, ones that are both cheap and posess a good feeding value. The white grub, or larva of the June beetle, is found in sod land; hence the best preventive is not to plant straw berries on freshly-broken sod. For black loams, clay and limestone lands, the sod should be deeply plowed in the fall or early part of winter to the depth of six to eight inches. Tender chickens for table use are a rarity in the cities at practically all seasons in the year, and it seems that this particular demand will never be satisfied. About 8,000 Dutch farmers are coming to America to settle upon farm lands in Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. About 750 have already arrived and all have large families. For the thrift and product of the hen—to keep her in a good, healthful condition and produce many eggs—both carbonaceous and nitrogenous founds must be used with proper balance. If chickens are confined in the hen house until late in the morning they are sure to fly off the roost as soon as it is hatch andatch around in the fifth hour by leaving the founda tion for disease. A branch direction, in poultry diet means a sufficient amount of carbohydrate in a mixture to counteract any results that might arise where an entirely nitrogenous ration is given and vice versa. Groom the house in the morning and rub down of night; bathe the shoulders with cool water both morning and evening; the horse collar should be scraped clean before putting on in the morning. While it is true that April weather is sometimes a little severe on young chicks, it must not be forgotten that June heat is too. It is really better to be a little too early with chicks for next winter's laying than a little too late. Chicks hatched under a hen are quite apt to have lice. Do your best to have the sitting hen free from these pests. Sprinkle the nest boxes with insect powder when the eggs are first set and look out for the lice all the way through. --- HOUGHTON'S DEPARTMENT STORE Goyle, Ohio Headquarters for late Ladies and Gentle Furnishings Schwal Clothing B Stetson and Ideal Hats, American Gentleman in Art orady Shoes Dry Goods, Millinery, Etc.

Most womenfolk find it no easy job to kill a chicken. Of course they should never be asked to do it if there is a man in sight, or within call, but if she has to, the gallotine will help her to do it easily at neatly. An old corn knife ground to a sharp edge and kept sharp, stoned to a block, will do the work. Place the chicken's head between the spikes, Guillotine for the Chickens. half the tips of the wings and legs together in a straight line cannot stop about, Ira's it right and the knife will do the rest in a twinkling SUMMER FEED FOR POULTRY Chickens May Be Turned Into Garden With Profit Except at Certain Periads—Eat Mary Bugs Lettuce is a good feed for poultry, and a bed of it should be started early for the purpose of giving the fowl a supply of good stuff. The fowl like it best if they can pull it from the stem as it stands in the bed. Cutting up the lettuce and feeding it in the yard is wasteful, as the fowl eat little of it when fed in that way Rape is a good plant to grow for the foals. The seeds are quite large and so germinate easily. If the foils have stripped one part of the poultry yard of grass, that part can be fenced off and rape seed sown on it. The rape will grow rapidly, even if the soil is not dig up. The foils should be turned into it when it has reached a height of about one foot. They will strip the sides off the leaf and leave the stems and mid veins. As soon as the poultry are taken out of the yard for a time, the plants will begin to push out new growth from the stems and mid veins, and this process can be continued all summer. There is a saying that hens and gardens do not go well together. This is a mistake, the hens can be turned into the garden with profit to themselves and the garden except during certain periods. One of these is just after the soil has been planted and are coming up. At such a time the hens all do much damage by scratching. Another time when they must be excluded from the garden is when the tomatoes are ripe as they will pick them. After the plants in the spring have become thoroughly started, the hens can safely be turned in. The more they scratch the better it is for the plants. They also help to keep the plants free from bugs. The farmer cannot afford to keep his poultry shut up in summer, except during short periods as mentioned above. The great advantage the farmer has over the city and village poultry raise is that he can make his poultry work for him. The bug population of every farm is very great, and this population is drawn upon by the fools. Scaly Lecs If any of the fowls show analy legs the best remedy is kemense mixed with lard and sulphur. Apply it warm with a brush at intervals of a week apart. Then, since this trouble is supposed to be caused by parasites upon the perches, see to it that the roosts are thoroughly smashed off in kemense. POULTRY NOTES Sunshine and cleanliness are the best medicine. Those are gala lays for lice. Fight them strong and hard. But it is not urgent that cattle is sometimes necessary in this hot days. Kerosone will be lovely work. Pour it in every truck and rest it after sprit it. Watch the grinder. The time are doing so. Don't forget them when you mapping and the rest are empty. The keeping of the stock from Slovenia is the first great factor in the list of regulation for success. The waste of grain on every farm is great, but a good stock of hens will glenn much of it and burn it into meat and eggs. Be sure that the drinking mountain is kept in a cool place and renewed so frequently as you would like for your own drinking. It is almost a virtue of time on your part as well as that of the hen to set her in a near and to a house infested with vermin. The poultry rater who is too lazy to keep his poultry house absolutely free from vermin does not reserve success nor will he have it. Allow the cool air to enter the houses at night by taking out the windows, but do not forget to have inch mesh wire notting fastened to the opening to keep out the agents. Watch the condition of the young chickens if they are moping sook for lice, especially the large gray house found on the head of the chick. A drop of sweat will soon sal his HANDY ROTARY TURF EDGER Rolving Wheel Makes Neat Edges to Lawn and Along Walk—Tyre Can Work It. The mere mowing of the grass is only a small part of the labor required to keep a lawn in attractive shape. The trimming of the turf along the edges of walks and flower beds is an important feature and is work that requires a certain amount of skill and experience. If done with old fashioned tools, a New Hamshirman, however, has devised an implement that allows the rotary lawn 1 Rotary Turf Trimmer. elger," which enables the earliest tyro of a gardener to keep the edges of his grass neatly trimmed. The edger consists of a long handle and a sharp wheel mounted at the lower end. The wheel can be held stationary by means of a cotter pin, but under normal conditions it revolves. A step near the bottom of the handle enables the gardener to press the wheel into the turf with the foot and by running the tool along the edge of a walk the grass there can be trimmed in rapid time. GIVE THE VEGETABLES ROOM Probably More Garden Truck Ruined For Want of Being Thinned Than by Any Other Cause. Do not be afraid to thin out your plants—they must not be crowded. Probably more garden stuff has been ruined for want of being thinned at the proper time than by any other cause. However that may be, one of the most puzzling things for the beginner is to find out whether any particular vegetable should be thinned or transplanted and how far apart the plants should stand afterward. He will get some help from the catalogues as to the distances, but whether he should transplant or thin is the kind of thing that is not in the book. It requires a great deal of nerve to pull up and destroy the unnecessary weedling—more nerve than the amateur possesses. They say that a person never becomes a good gardener until he steels his nerve to this ruthless sacrifice. A vegetable must have plenty of room to develop its best size and flavor and one can take no pride in small or commonplace vegetables. True it is that the worst wood in corn is corn." FARM NOTES Never plant melons near squashes or pumpkins Let the rows run north and south; this gives the most sun exposure. Young babies and young plants must have the right kind of food and plenty of it to make them grow. If your plants grow tall and spindly thin them out Do not be afraid to cut them courageously. If you keep a lot of cats, you won't have birds about the place. Birds destroy a great many insect pests. Tomato seeds are easily preserved and if you have extra good ones pick out the best and save the seeds. Good seed, good cultivation, good common sense are a pretty good combination, if good crops are desired. It is a great thing to know just when a plant needs water. It is a matter that requires close observation. Seed potatoes in the cellar may look all right on top and be badly sprouted in the bottom of barrels and bloss, better investigate. Too much water is as bad as too little, because the surplus fills up the interstices at the soil, excludes the str and an others the plants. Root crops should be planted together, as well as vine crops, such as cucumbers, melons, etc., also tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and the like. Two essentials are necessary for the rapid maturing of vegetables—a soil made light with sand, and rich with well rotted manure, and a wind break. The city house wife cannot understand why the farmers are not all rich when she considers the enormous price she pays for vegetables and fruit. A well planned garden is one that will allow as much of it as possible to be cultivated with a horse. Ifoeing in the garden doesn't set well with most of us. Plan to plant crops that live from year to year, like asparagus, rhubarb, strawberries and the like, at one end, so that they will not interfere when you cultivate the annual vegetables. FARM AND BEEs One Exhibited at Recent Maryland Bee Keepers' Association Meeting—Made Any Size At the recent meeting of the Maryland State Bee Keepers' association in Baltimore, Dr B N Gate of the United States department of agriculture exhibited and described an apparatus for securing swarms. As will be seen from the illustration, it consist of a wooden box with holes in five of the sides, the sixth side being open, says the Orange Judd Farmer. Any convenient size will answer. The box shown by Dr Gates was about 16 inches long, 12 high and 2 wide. The holes were about an inch in diameter. At the top were two slits in which small pieces of comb filled with unsealed brood could be let down into the box and fastened so that they would not far out. They are placed parallel with the long side of the box, so as to leave no obstruction when the bees are to be jarred out. In the center of the bottom and the top of the box larger holes are bored for a pole to pass through A Simple Bwarm Catcher. Several poles of varying lengths are provided, so as to reach high or low clusters of bees. When the pole has been put in place through the box a hook is fastened to the top, so this may be hung over a limb if necessary. Preferably the edges should be bound with iron to prevent injury when the box is jarred to get the bees out. In operation all that is necessary to catch half a plot or more of bees in the box and let the box hang near where the bees have started to form a cluster. They will quickly assemble in the box by coming through the holes, and all that will be necessary will be to carry the box and dump the bees either into or in front of the new hive. The bees will take possession in the ordinary way. WIRE TWISTER FOR FENCING Spiral Shank Has Effect of Working Automatically and Swiftly—Fepcially Useful on Farm. A novel form of wire twister that has the effect of being automatic in its operation has been patented by a Texas man. A spiral shank revolves as the device is drawn toward the user and does the work swiftly. This implement is especially useful in making wire fencing, where it is ```markdown ``` Wire Twister is Novel necessary to have a few twists at close intervals. The head of the tool slips down into the hollow handle and is normally in a retracted position. To use the implement two or more whirls are seized in the jaws and the operator draws the tool toward him. The resistance offered causes the head to wind its way out of the handle with the circular motion imparted by its spiral shank, and as this happens the wire is twisted automatically. This is a very much speedier operation than the method of twisting wire with a pair of pincers by turns of the wrist. Use of Weeds. Weeds in many cases have been blessings in disguise. They have taught us how to cultivate the soil, and they never allow us to forget the lessons: "Solomon went by the field of the slothful and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding and, lo, all grown over with thorns, and not thus had covered the face thereof." PROPER CARE FOR THE COLT Better to Let Youngster Stay in Barn Than Follow Mother All Day— Accidents Are Avoided Nearly every one aims to give his brood mates about a week's rest after foaling, but on low farms are sufficient horses kept so that they can be allowed a longer period of rest than this. When the mare is again put into the fields, shall the colt be allowed ```markdown ``` Too Young to Travel Far. to follow the mare, or kept in the barn? The latter is in better place in many ways. If the foal is allowed to follow its mother to the field, to trudge after her all day long, it will be completely tired out, long before the day's work is ended. It is also in danger of being injured in various ways. It would be far better off left at the barn in a lot, or, if the weather is bad, in a box stall, where it can do itself no harm. After the first day, the colt will cease to be restless, and will become perfectly contented, as soon as its mother it taken out of its sight. Also, under this plan, the mare will work as well as usual, after the first day or two, which would not be the case if the colt were in the field where she could keep it in sight most of the time. The first week, of course, it will be necessary to unhitch the mare in the middle of the forenoon and again in the middle of the afternoon, and take her to the barn and allow the colt to suck, but this is not one half as inconvenient as having the colt in the field to get in the way, and to keep its mother in a flutter of excitement. It will not be long before the colt can be left away from its mother half a day at a time and then the mare can be worked without any inconvenience whatever. If there are two or more colts, put them in a lot together when their mothers go to the fields, and they will be more trained. When there is any necessity of having the brood mare away from home all day, the colt should be haltered to her side. If on the road there will then be no danger of the colt running back, or up branch roads, or of following other mares. Haltering the colt to the mare is a particularly wise precaution when a trip is to be made to town, or anywhere where railroads have tracks to be crossed. High Priced Stallion. The thoroughbred stallion, Flying Fox, is dead. He cost M Edmond Blanc, the noted French breeder, $100,000, but proved to be a profitable investment at that, owing to his success in the stud LIVE STOCK NOTES Eye trouble is rare in pigs. Eye trouble is rare in pigs. Constant care is what develops the pigs into market toppers. An occasional feed of oats will be valuable for the brood sow. Alfalfa is a great feed for the brood sow in summer and winter. Two litters of pigs a year is about what the best sows will do. Don't expect to work your horzes sixteen hours a day just because you do. To produce milk a ewe must have good food and an abundance of fresh water. The hog house should be built on high ground so that it will have good drainage. The feed for the mother ewe is an important item in securing growth in the lamb. Silage is to be one of the great feeds of the corn belt in the not distant future. When you are fattening hogs, it is easy to make the mistake of giving too much corn The hog is considered a dirty animal, but no creature enjoys a clean, dry bed more than a hog Kafir corn alone is said to make large quantities of excellent silage very nearly equal to corn silage Environment has a greater effect on the lamb when it is young than at any other period of its career The concensus of opinion among shepherds is that the docking should be done when the lamb is about two weeks old. A balky horse is made so by a cranky or cruel driver, and can rarely be cured. So be very careful in breaking the colts. When fattening hogs on clover they should be fed corn only once a day, and that late in the evening, thus inducing them to eat as much clover as possible. POULTRY Whoever wants a dainty fowl beautifully colored, a good longer and a great liver can very easily love the Brown Lagoon says the Country Journal. Like its cousins the White, the Black and various other varieties of the Lagoon family, this fowl has the ability to convert a larger quantity of waste food into a larger number of eggs of large size than perhaps any other breed of fowl. It is eminently the fowl for the man who The Brown Leghorn. wants large numbers of white shelled eggs and who does not want to be bothered with hens that needs must sit every now and then ZINC TANK FOR DUCKLINGS Most Excellent Swimming Pan for the Little Duck Is Easy to Make and Inexpensive.

Fattening crates are usually made six feet long, 18 to 20 inches high and 18 inches wide. The crate is divided into three compartments, each holding from four to six birds, according to the size of the chicken. The crate is made of slats usually one and a half inches wide by five-eighths inch thick. Those in front are placed two inches apart to allow the birds to put their heads through for feeding. The slats on the bottom are placed three-fourths of an inch apart allowing the dropping to go through. Care should be taken not to have the first bottom slat at the back fit too closely against the back, or the droppings will collect and decompose. The slats on the bottom should be one inch by one half inch, and run lengthwise of the crate. The slats on the back and top are usually two inches apart. A frame is made of one and one half inch by one inch. Very full coups may be made from old packing boxes by taking off the front and bottom and slitting stains in their places. During warm weather these crates may be placed out of doors. Good Hatches. A very important item in getting good hatch is to thoroughly test out the infertile egg. Excellent egg testers with instructions as to use, are furnished with most incubators. These testers can be placed on an ordinary hatch and the eggs are best tested at night when the room is dark. I consider the sixth day of incubation the best time for the first testing, says a writer in an exchange. A good, strong germ has the appearance of a spider in the egg. A blood circle adhering to the shell denotes a dead germ; a perfectly clear, as well as a cloudy, egg, is infertile, and should be removed from the incubator. These discarded eggs can be saved and holted to feed the young chicks or they may be used for cooking purposes. I have always found it a good plan to retest the eggs again about the fourteenth day, and while some do not think this really necessary, I think it a good plan A bundle of unthrushed wheat or oats is a good thing for the hess to work over.
