FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Roadside weeds are industrious seeders
OF adjoining fields.
When you see the chicks busy and
scratching it is sign of thrift.
A single night may ruin ALL Never let
the brooder become cold for an hour.
Once the chicks get chilled they never
fully recover.
Better and cheaper than staples for
fastening fencing wire are twenty-penny
wire nails, driven in three-fourths their
length and then beat over the wire by
two or three blows with the hammer.
Feed the chicks on clean surfaces or
in little troughs; never leave food to fer
ment. Clean Off the breeders and floors
daily. Keep dry earth in the corner of
the brooder house for the chicks to dust
in.
See that enough brooding coops are
on hand; if not, make more. Those
from last season should be neatly painted
and put in good order. A chicken likes
a clean, neat coop more than one would
believe.
Scaly legs may often be cured by sim
ply wetting the legs of the fowl affected
occasionally with crude petroleum. When
crude oil is not to be had conveniently
heavy oil or grease can be mixed with
kerosene, this tending to stay evapora-
ton.
1t is always better to have all sitting
hens away from the layers. Let them
eat by themselves, have a separate dust

This assists toward a good hatch pro-
vided the eggs are fertile.

More new poultry houses have been
erected on farms this year than ever be-
fore. The farmer finds the COW stable
and barn not the place for fowls. He
has now come to believe that there is
something in poultry, and he is going to
test the matter for himself. Putting up
modern buildings is his first step in the
right direction.
During the holiday season last winter
the supply of turkeys ran out, and as
high as twenty cents per pound were
paid for dressed fowls. Ducks and chick
ems had to be taken instead, and even
they commanded a high market price
Why not try turkey breeding; rightly
handled it will pay in most sections OF
our country, and not materially interfere
with the regular farm work.
He told his son to milk the COWS, feed
the horses, slop the pigs, hunt the eggs,
feed the calves, catch the colt and put
him in the stable, cut some wood, split
up the kindlings, stir the cream, put
fresh water IN the creamery after supper
and to be sure to study his lessons before
he went to bed. Then he went to the
farmers club to discuss the question:

A new form Of gambling sprang up
last Summer at Ostend, and is now
practiced at some Of the fashionable
clubs here. Teaching the virtue OF
patience is better than baccarat, and
not more unintellectual. Any number
of gamblers can play it. The game is
this: A basket Of the freshest possible
oysters is brought in, and an oyster is
carefully laid on the cup side before
each player, who must not touch it,
but sits at some distance in front of
the bivalve, with the stakes at the
other side of the plate. The oyster
that first yawns sweeps the stakes. If
oysters are in good case, the players
perhaps, may yawn before them. A
gained played at Ostend by dozen
gamblers lasted three hours. The ex-
element of the lookerson was intense.
They gathered behind the players,
and fixed their eyes on the bivalves.
Betting grew fast and furious, though
there was really no cause why money
should be stal1ed on one oyster more
than another. St last O poor thiraty
creature opened wide its shells. The
money on the table when it did so
came to CT, O0.-London Truth.

Perhaps no new departure In agricul-
tural methods ever encountered moro per-
sistent and determined opposition than
did the silo and ensilage. Its enemies
were found both among the practical and
working farmers Of the country, and
among scientific and professional stu
dents Of agriculture; yet in the face Of
such strenuous opposition this system Of
preservering food for stock has steadily
and rapidly made it's way into public
favor, until 1t Is now estimated that there
are more than 1000 Of them In the United
States. Every one that is built in a new
district serves as an object lesson to the
entire community, and is speedily fol-
lowed by others. If you have not one
yourself nor have not seen one search out
out the nearest and best that you can and
visit. 1t may set you to thinking to some
good purpose.-Ph Philadelphia Inquirer.

Another MYTH.

One by one the cherished idols Of
childhood go by the board, and we
learn that Queen Isabella as the pa
tron of Columbus no more existed tnan
Tell with his apple and Nero with his
fiddle. At least this is the stand taken
by many ladies of the Northwest
against the Isabella statue business at
Chicago in connection with the big
Fair. They declare that Isabella did
not believe in the theories Of Colum-
bus, and made no sacrifices for him,
not even a finger ring, but that his
friend, the court Intendant, borrowed
from the treaF ny of Aragon the IT.

HORSE TALK.

When the horse comes to the stable az
night with muddy legs. they can be rubbed
almost clean and dry with whisp Of hay
or straw. This Is better than allowing
the mud to dry on the animal.
The horses size is not SO important as
his make up. A large. loose, long horse
cannot do as much work as a short
backed, short-legged. compact, stocky
horse Of less size.
A very little care Will avoid founder.
Make the horse drink slowly-pull his
nose out Of the water three OF four times
while he is drinking the first bucketful.
and make him wait five minutes for the
second bucketful.
Give the horses few potatoes In their
feed occasionally. They are good for
horses and bad for worms.
Steady, everyday use tends to keep the
horses sound, and lengthen their lives.
Idleness and Irregular work have the OPP
posite tendency.
If you want your roadsters to be thin
coated and sleek don't leave them without
blankets In the stable. Covering in early
autumn prevents growth Of winter coat.

If the poultry keeper finds that his
profits do not meet his rational expecta-
tons, his first question should be whether
proper economy has been practiced In the
matter Of feeding. For one OF the most
common errors In poultry yard Is too
great supply of food. 80 that a great deal
that Is given remains uneaten, while the
fowls show their cramming by listlessly
standing about, and In the diminishing
number OF eggs and quality OF chickens.
Probably most breeders err In this matter,
for how few there are who feed with such
care as to make full allowance for the sea-
son, the health Of the flock. and the varia-
fIonsin their number and sizeI Yet Ell
these caGsse bring about c6nsldet liable DIFF
ference In the amount Of food needed to
be given.
The best way Is to experiment carefully,
mixing up q small portion Of food, and
when this liz eaten, feeding again. II nee
essary, and remembering that one ex-
IRENE, that of overlooking, is as bad as
the other. In fact, 1t may be worse, for in
cases where the fowls have any run, they
will, II underfed, scratch about actively.
and supply the lacking quantity them
selves, a thing desirable, also, for other
reasons than economy. The exercise rem
ders the fowls healthy and vigorous. and
where poultry is kept simply for amuse-
ment, 1t will be found that the display Ia
always most pleasing whom the flock IL

chieftains were not SO prompt in their

biggest Is Vet Best.

It is well for farmer to test the capa-
city of an acre and find out how much Of
this or that 1t can be made to produce, but
1t Is not always the best system Of agri-
culture. The size Of a crop Is one thing,
and the profit Of it another. The soil can
be overstocked with fertilizers, and the
plants thereby overfed. The crop may be
larger than the average, but 1t may have
cost many times more than the average.
The man who Is striving to get the
greatest income for the least outlay or, In
other words, the greatest profit from his
acres, must count his investments In
money and time and apply only enough Of
manure, seed, labor and attention to give
the best returns for energy expended.
Each must by successive trials decide
what this amount must be. 1t will pay
one man in one locality to 30 enrich his
soil and tend his crop Of corn that 1t will
yield a hundred bushels, but another

TURNING GRAIN INTO BUTTER.
How It is Done with tho Famous Gov
Bfsson's Belle.

How It is Done with tho Famous Cow
Bisson's Belle.
The owner Of Bisson's Belle, the Jersey
COW that made 1,029 pounds OF butter In d
year, gives this account Of the grain fed
to her during the test:
She was kept on feed Of three gallons
Of grain day for about five weeks and
then fed strongly Immediately before
starting her test, SO that when the test
started she had four gallons OF corn meal
and two gallons Of bran day divided Into
two feeds. The week following five gall
Ions of corn meal and two Of bran, then
two of bran, divided in two feeds, or two
gallons OF corn meal and one of bran ct a
feed. Sometimes this was increased and
sometimes decreased, according to judg-
ment; sometimes instead OF bran she had
oats. When she had oats 1t was ground
with the corn; sometimes oats and corn,
ground half and half, and fed four gallons
OF this with one-half gallon extra OF corn
meal. Sometimes she was cooled out; In
fact very generally once in ten days she
got q gallon OF wet bran at feed with
nothing else.
Think of feeding twenty-four quarts Of
grain per day! We know mon who will
not buy COW that has been trained to
eat grain" they want one that has
learned how to make butter and milk
without grain. The successful dairyman
and the one who claims that dairying
don't pay" have different ways Of looking
at COW. To one she is machine for
changing the low-priced fat In food into
the high priced fat In butterJ to the other
she Is costly animal stubborn enough to
refuse to give milk and butter unless she
Is fed for It, II the fat in grain costs five
cents pound and the cow can extract 1t
and so change 1t into the form Of butter
that sells for TWEEN ty-five cents, the more
of it she can handle the better will che
pay. It Is business to feed the COW all
the fat she can turn into butter. At her
best Bisson's Belle averaged nearly five
pounds Of butter per day. As q matter Of
business 1t paid better to feed her twenty
four quarts Of grain than to feed her no
grain at all. The butter comes from the
food-not from the cow.-Rural New
Yorker.
