This matter of looking TO the sanitary
nature of wall coatings seems TO be con-
sidered Of much Importance of late. A
supplement TO the Michigan State Board OF
Health condemns wall paper and kalsomine
for walls, and recommends Alabastine as
being sanitary, pure, porous, permanent,
economical and beautiful.
To each Of the first five persons in every
city and town, who write the Alabastine
Company of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Civ
ing the chapter containing the above pas
sage of scripture, will be sent an order on
the Alabastine dealer in the town for a
package of Alabastine, enough to cover 50
square yards of wall two coats, tinted or

To test wall coating, take small quan-
tity OF 1t, mix in equal quantity of boiling
water, and il it does not set, when left in
the dish over night, and finally form stone

to by sanitarians.

FACTS FOB FARMERS.

The red spider is best kept in check
by free Swinging or washing with a
wet sponge.
WHILE hogs do not require a high
temperature, they should have comfort
ably warm quarters in winter, especial
ly the young sows.
FARMERS can not afford to manage
their business by guess-work. The
margin of profit on their products is too
small to admit of it.
DON'T forget the growing calves while
crowding the COWS for milk; see that
they have dry quarters, at least reason
ably warm, and a daily ration of oats or
wheat bran.
OATS that are to be cut for feeding to
cows may be sown thick and should be
cut as green as possible and have them
cure without molding, is the doctrine
and practice" of successful feeder we
know.
THE cost of quart of milk at the
New Hampshire Station, says the Dairy
World, averaged for the herd 2.74 cents.
The best COW on good feed made milk
for 1.59; milk from the poorest COW on
the same food cost 1926. On rich ra-
ton the best COW reduced the cost tc
1.32. The same COW fed on a poor ra-
ton raised the cost to 5.35 cents a
quart. Good and judicious feeding pays

THE LAYING HEN.
She Is Usually Bird That Is Very Ac-
tive and Busy.

She Is Usually a Bird That Is Very Ac-
tive and Busy.
Hens differ individually, and they
differ as breeds. Kno wledge of their
individual characteristics can only be
gained by constant association with
them and careful observation of their
traits. The laying hen is one that is
active and busy. A good scratching
hen-one that is never idle-is, as
rule, good layer, for the reason that
her active habits keep her in the proper
condition for laying. Hence we may
advise, says an exchange, that in Sc
lecting, the busy, active hen be re-
tanned. A bright red comb, bright wat
ties, and happy disposition are indi-
cations, while bright eyes and clean
feathers also point to success. All
hens have bright red combs when be-
ginning to lay, but it is before the hens
begin that more information is desired.
The best method is to breed for good
layers. Select the best layers every
year and mate them with male from q
good laying strain or breed, and the
shortest road will at once be taken.
When one finds lot of drones in q
flock, get rid of them and breed from
those that are productive. The rule
that like begets like" holds good with
poultry as with any thing else, and
should lead to the production of better
stock; but it is important that the male
be given some consideration, when Sc
lecting breeding stock; his influence on
the future progeny is greater than any
female in the flock, he is sire of all in
stead of only few.-Orange Judd

WHAT LISTING MEANS.
A Method of Planting Corn Very Popular
in the West.

A Method of Planting Corn Very Popular
in the West.
Doubtless many farmers have no def
mite idea of what is meant by the
method of planting corn called listing.
To enlighten such, the following is
taken from Bulletin of the Wisconsin
College of Agriculture: 1t is method
by which the plowing or stirring of
the stubble, or even of last years corn
ground, and the planting can be com
bined in one operation without any
other preparation of the seed bed. IT
is much practiced in the west-central
part of the Mississippi Valley, where
the soil is inclined to be open, and where
drouths are the rule rather than the
exception. In some counties in Kansas,
for instance, the methods common else
where are seldom used, and most of the
corn in that entire State is listed.
A lister is a stirring plow with two
mold boards, one throwing to the right
the other to the left. Each lay cuts six
or seven inches wide. The lister is run
through the stubble, or old corn-field
guided by stakes or other marks, max.
ing furrow, or dead furrow," for the
corn with a ridge, or ''bacl furrows'
between these. Some pass over with
the listing plow, and afterwards fol
low in the middle of the furrows with
One-horse corn drill. The more ap
proved way however, is to use the
combined implement, which is a listing
plow carrying drill attachment, oper
ated by wheel running behind in the
fulTow. The corn is dropped an incl
or more beneath the bottom of the fur
row by means of mole or shoe-like
follower. The corn is usually narrowed
once or twice with smoothing har
row, run lengthwise of the furrows anG
afterwards cultivated two to foul
times. In each operation part of the
ridge is worked back into the furrow
leaving the land about level the last
time through and at the same time hill
ing the soil up around the corn.

a, knotted root; b, winsless louse; C, winged
louse (Schizone'tra laatgera) even to the
presence of dead and dried-up lice in
some of the cracks and cavities, This
injury is common in many Southern
localities and has been found the past
season in Iowa. 1t is seldom serious in
Northern localities.
The lice puncture the roots to pump
out the sap, thus causing the swelling
and distorted growth of knots on the
roots. These tissues then rot and the
tree sooner or later dies. One plan of
attacking these insects is to uncover the
roots and pour hot water over the in
sects. Probably plan that would have
better result in the end would be to
prepare kerosene emulsion according
to the common formula, with soap, and
drench the roots with this, following
the treatment with a drenching of clear
water. To make the emulsion, put
half pound of common bar soap in a
gallon of water; bring to boiling point
and pour this into two gallons of kero-
sene, churn them violently together un-
til they form creamy emulsion and
then before using dilute, for these in
sects, with ten to twelve times this
quantity of water-thirty to thirty-six
gallons. Judd Farmer,

THE SCRUB" FARMER.
IL There Any Redemption for Him ant
His Methods?

IL There Any Redemption for Him and
His methodist
At this time of the year In travelling
through the country you can see the
"scrub" farmer here and there by look
ing over his fields, seeing in one
binder, in another a mower, and hayins
tools and plows in fence corners where
used last, ready for spring work.
The rotation of crops, the sowing of
clover for fertilizing is almost un-
known to him. He farms one field in
one kind of grain as long as IL will
raise it, and then from sheer necessity
he changes to another field to bo
treated in like manner. Likewise his
stock is treated in the same way. His
horses, so poor they scarcely cast q
shadow in spring from want of proper
shelter and feed, are expected to pull a
plow to turn over his already exhausted
soil for the purpose of making another
vain attempt to raise another crop. His
poor forlorn, scrubby cattle stand
around shivering with cold, their backs
in rainbow shape. Morning and even
ing his good wife almost freezes or
stands in mud shoe-mouth deep, draw
ing the scanty milk supply. Likewise
his hogs are given bed in fence
corner, where they will not want for
plenty of fresh air; but alas! the corn
crib is almost empty and the supply is
cut short, to the poor razor-bach's dis
may.
Interrogate the ''scrub" farmer upon
the subject of farming and stock-rais-
ing and he will very soon tell you there
is nothing in it for him-which is too
true. Ask him the cause and he will
inform you that bad crops, Indifferent
legislation and high taxes are what is
the matter. His whole study is high or
low tariff and political economy-which
is all very well, but not much ready
cash. Ask him to subscribe for paper
and he will answer you about this way:
"Oh, myl 1 can't subscribe. ] haven't
got the money; besides, don't think
they amount to much anyway. They
are filed up with stuff wrote by per-
sons that never seen a farm, and they
don't know what the farmer needs. :"
Talk about improved stock and he will
tell you they are for the rich all you
want is plenty of feed and you can
make fine stock out of scrubs-but he
is very careful not to attempt to do it.
Now is there any redemption for such
men and methods? So long as we have
the Scrub farmer just so long will our
stock yards be adorned with the Scrub
stock of all descriptions which he in
variably throws on the market at loss
to himself and probably to the con.
sumer.-Cor. Breeders Gazette.

HOW to KIN ChIclsen HAWKE.

Various methods are proposed for kill
ing or capturing hawks A ''hawk
trap" is a board with number of long
spikes driven through it and sharpened.
A chicken is tied to the board and the
hawk in trying to catch the chicken
sticks himself on the spikes. Some
farmers kill chicken, pierce the flesh
with knife and put in strychnine.
Then they hang the carcass to tree.
A remarkable (?) story comes from
Connecticut of farmer who took a
scythe blade, ground it as keen as a
razor and bolted it to high pole with
the edge up, at an angle of 40 degrees.
The hawks would fly down to rest on
the scythe, while they "sighted" at a
chicken and would at once slide down
the keen edge, cutting off their toes!-
