THE POULTRY YARD.

WINTER greens for poultry, cheap and
wholesome - cabbages. Grow them
yourself.
WHEN chicks are high in price old
fowls are also in demand. There is
probably no better time to sell surplus
than now.
WE do not advise heating water (by
the sun) for fowls in summer. 1t will
be warm enough if pumped from the
well every day and the water vessel set
in the shade.
THE chick that is strong, growthy,
hardy and active from the shell onward,
is the one to keep for breeding. Keep
an eye on the broods and mark the best
youngsters early.
COLD weather seals up foul odors,
warm weather sets them free. Hence
the greater Importance of absorbing
them now by free use of earth in the
fowl houses and in the coops of the
chicks.
JUNE-HATcHED chicks come upon the
scene just in season to harvest the in
sect crop and CLEAN the grain fields.
Happy coincidence-for the chicks.
Others may have their choice, but we
have liking for June-hatched pullets,
especially of the small and medium
sized breeds.-Farm journal.

Farming q Business,

Farming is q business, and the man
who would make a real success of it
nowadays must be a good business
man. He must be an all-round good
business manager. Besides buying and
selling and the employment of labor
there are the planting, cultivating and
harvesting of crops, the breeding, feed
ing and care of live stock, the use of
machinery and hundred other impor-
tant things which require intelligence,
skill and executive ability of high
order. There are thousand little de-
tails of the business to be carefully
looked after to make the farm do its
best. Taking everything into consider
alton, the wonder is that there are not
more failures on the farm than there
are. No business in the city would
long stand under the easy-going man.

Coaxing swarms to Rem.iu,

Twenty years ago New York bee
keepers coaxed absconding swarms to
remain by this method, according to the
American Bee journal: We would take
broom handles and wrap rags on the
large end, making a roll about ten
inches in length, and about three inches
through the center, tapering off small
er at the ends. The rags we would
saturate with melted beeswax. The
other end of She handle is sharpened SO
as to stick in the ground. We used one
handle for every four hives. Nearly
every swarm that issues will cluster on
some of these prepared sticks. The
sticks should be stuck in the ground
about four rods in front of the hives.
The scent of the wax probably has a
good deal to do with the bees clustering

Worlds Fair Corn Kitchen,

F1gurs.
For the planter who looks after hia
trees and cultivates them carefully q
small tree will bear just as early and
prove as valuable as the largest. But
It the trees are to be planted in sod
land. without cultivation or attention,
big trees will stand the best chance ot
living. The standard-sized tree as dug
in most nurseries is three-quarter inch
caliber diameter three inches above the
place where the bud was inserted. The
next smaller grase, which is called the
medium-sized tree, is dve-eighth inch di.
ameter. This medium-sized tree is as val
liable as the next larger size and is
usually sold for less; this medium-sized
tree also occupies less space in packing,
costs less for transportation and is apt
to have more fibrous roots, and, in the
opinion of the writer, IL in every way
equal to the larger size. It should be
distinctly understood, however, that in
ordering this medium-sized tree it II
understood that it is not to be second
class in any respect. There is vast
difference between the medium sized
first-class tree and the second-class
tree. Always specify that you want
choice stock, without any culls, no mat
ter what the size specified.
There is a smaller grade of trees,
which are about one-half inch caliber,
which are valuable trees for planting if
thrifty and vigorous. This small size
can often be purchased as cheap as, it
not cheaper than, one year-old trees,
and are fully as desirable, if not more
so. One-year-old trees are usually sold
only for mailing purposes, for the rea-
son that nurserynen do not like to
break into their young blocks to dig a
few dozen Or few hundred or certain
variety, as it makes their blocks look
ragged. Further than this, since the
one-year block is never entirely dug or
sold, the nurseryman is at no great ex.
pense to cultivate the entire block un-
til the trees have reached the full size,
therefore one-year-old trees are usually
higher priced as compared with other
sizes, and many nurserymen will not
sell one-year-old trees at all. Peach
trees are an exception to this rule, as
the peach is never sold earlier than one
year from bud.-Green's Fruit Grower.

be easily seeded and surplus water will
flow away quickly without tearing the
soil. During summer mowers, reapers
and loads of hay can easily cross the
ditch without Inconvenience. An open
ditch that has abrupt sides is not only
expensive to dig but expensive to keep
clear, as a frost throws down the
walls. Wideditches carry away water
faster than deep gullies, and always
without cutting away the soil. This is
just as true on rapid descent as on
ground that is nearly level. The
weight of running water is what does
the damage. Spread it out and the
danger will be overcome.-A. C. West,

Upon reaching the house he found

leaving q farewell letter for her
aunt. with whom she lived, and . line
also for Dick:

Upon reading this Dick rushed off in
frenzy to the station to find that she
had gone an hour earlier to Liverpool.
He took the next train thither and
spent a week in that city seeking her
with the help of every possible agency
and in every possible place-in the city
or at the shipping ofices-without
coming upon the faintest trace of her.
After weeks exhaustive search for
her in vain he returned home to vent all
the fury of his despair upon his father.
This week, during which he hardly
slept by night, or rested for a single
moment by day, had upset him almost
to the point and pitch of insanity; and
the reproaches he poured out in full
flood upon his father were nothing less
than frenzied. Imagine his amazement
when the old man merely and meelxly
replied to them: "Well, well. Dick,
was wrong about the girl; but it's not
too late to set matters right"
''I'm sorry spoke SO unbeoomingly

amazed and ashamed.
"You had some provocatlon, Dick !,
but I'll make you amends by finding
the girl"
Dick shook his head despondently.
'You think not? promise you to
hear from her in week if she's in
England; and within q month if she's
in America"
"Do you mean by addressing an ad-
vertisement to her in all the papers,

''No, no; that wouldn't answer at all.
She'd never believe that I had come

"But how?" gasped Dick, in breathlcss
