Forests Are Great Protectors.

It is the ground itself that is most
perfectly protected by the forest of a
country. The roots and rootlets of the
trees bind together particles of soil so
that it is not readily washed away. AS
a matter of course, hills shorn of their
forests suffer most. their soil being
washed down into the river or the
valley below. This is the reason why
valleys are generally fertile and why
SO many hills are barren. The roots
of trees and the accumulated mold
render the soil porous and capable of
holding great amount of moisture.
The rain and the snow are conserved
and gradually given to the streams and
soil below. Before country has been
denuded of forests its streams do not
vary greatly in size from season to sea-
son. Rain or drought influence them
but little, but after the trees have been
taken away the rivers are roaring tor
rents during rains and mere threads
during droughts. Rural World.

Breed in Setting Hens Nests-Bad On
Young FoHls-Preyention


Young FoHls-Preyention
1t is about this time, during a hot
season, that poultry are badly troubled
with insect pests, chiefly feas and lice.
If precautions are not taken the pests
multiply rapidly Wherever hens go
broody and are allowed to set fieas
find natural breeding quarters in the
nests, SO that if the latter are not seen
to at once heas swarm about the old
nests 1t is among setting hens
where nlnety-nine per cent. of the fieas
are bred. and, although 1 took every
precaution this spring, I was not able
to keep the nests free from them
There is little trouble, however, with
the laying hens, if ordinary care is
taken, but where they are set
ting it is a very different thing.
Broody fowls seem conscious that in
sects multiply round about them, for
they will, as rule, seek the dust
bath before going to feed If they
fail to dust themselves before their
meal they will immediately after
wards, SO they keep the pests in check
until the chickens are Matched Then
the nests are soon swarming. Now
that most of the chickens are Matched
the best plan is to get all the hens
away from the buildings or hen
houses. Good nests are easily made in
orcbards or paddocks by scooping a
hole in the ground, putting in little
hay and covering the nest over with a
uitaoie-sized box. The nest in the
house, especially those recently oceu-
pied by setting hens, should be burned
and the boxes turned over the smol-
dering debris. Thus total destruction
is dealt out in the breeding head
quarters Then if the roosting and
laying houses are occasionally lime
washed, or well dressed with strong
carbolic soapsuds and the floor thickly
bestrewn with ashes, there will be no
trouble with feas.
Lice are far more difficult to deal with
than heas as they seldom leave the
fowls body. They abound most where
the birds are overcrowded and strict
cleanliness is not regarded, attacking
generally unhealthy birds. Old hens,
unhealthy chickens or diseased birds
sometimes swarm with lice Such
birds should either be killed and
buried or placed by themselves and
sprinkled daily with some good insect
destroying powder, not on but under
the feathers. Dust baths are fatal to
lice, but unhealthy birds, unfortunate
ly, will not take the baths regularly
AT this season there is usually an
abundance of empty sheds round the
ordinary farmyards. A plan 1 have
adopted with success for many years is
to spread the different broods about
the buildings. Spare cowsheds and
stables make healthy quarters until the
chicks are ready for market, and so
overcrowding in hen houses is avoided.
The sheds are cleaned out for cattle
and other animals for winter and be-
come perfectly clean and wholesome
quarters for the broods of chickens the
following summer. By adopting this
plan my fowls seldom suffer from YER
min or any kind of disease.-Orange
Judd Farmer.

TIE FARMING WORLD.
PROFITABLE FARMING.
Diversity and Rotation the Prime Essen
tials to Success.

Diversity and Rotation the Prime Essen
tials to Success.
But very few farms are nowadays
rtn proftably unless on these lines.
Rotation involves diversity, but 1t
means a vast deal more. Poor land
means poor crops. A soil which.i is de-
fcient in plant food cannot ever be
titled to the very best profit, but it is
within the reach of all to enrich their
soil by turning under green crops, and
this is oae of the easiest and cheapest
methods of applying fertility; and it
should not be overlooked that when
vegetable mattsr is used for fertiliZing
s6mething is gained beyond the mere
amount of plant food supplied. The
mechanical effect upon the soil, by
means of which the other plant food
already there is made available, is
often hardly second to the direct gain
of manurial elements. One good point
about green manuring is that it may
be done at any season, and in so many
ways that some of them are open to
all. OF course clover is the great crop
for this use, and the seasons at which
it may be sown and used are some
what arbitrary; but there are dozen
other things, some of which may be
sown at any time that you happen to
have piece of land vacant, and they
may be turned under with more or less
benefit at any period of their growth.
Peas are second to clover in adding to
the stores of nitrogen, and they may
be sown the latter part of the summer,
and yet make sufficient growth to be a
valuable manurial crop. Rye sown
even later may be turned under in
spring. Turnips sown in August or
September and turned under as the
bulbs begin to form are very valuable.
They should be sown thickly, SO as to
make perfect mass of foliage. Even
weeds are good for green manuring,
although we do not advise growing
them for that purpose.-Colman'

AMONG THE POULTRY.

IT requires from % to 20 days to
hatch pheasant eggs.
To HAVE healthy fowls avoid g living
tonics and condition powders.
A HEN in her prime, when properly
fed and cared for, should yearly fur
nish three times her weight in, eggs.
A CHICK of one of the larger breeds
ought to weigh a pound when five
weeks old. The average is about a
pound at the age of six weeks.
IF the chicks do not come out of eggs
Matched in the incubator until the
22d day, it indicates that the tempera-
ture of the egg drawer was a triae too
low.
THE 1ambing season out west is re-
ported to have been a remarkably sue
cessfuI one. There have been few
losses and the weather has been pro-
pltious.
EGGs from hens not in company with
cocks have been found to keep very
much longer than those from hens
mated with cocks. In summer, after
Matching is over, remove the males, as
the hens will lay as well without them.
On the average farm the poultry in
terest should not be made very large
one, but even then it can be so con-
Quoted as to furnish a considerable
amount of food and at the same time
bring in small amount of cash each
year.
AN experienced poultryman says
that hen to breed absolutely true
must be kept from cocks except the one
she is to be mated with during her en-
tire laying career. Iishe lives to be
ten years old traces of a mongrel she
ran with in her second year will be no

THREE WOMEN KILLED.
Horrible Accident at a Railway Crossing
Near Lenexa.

Horrible Accident at a Railway Crossing
Near Lenexa-
OLATHE, Kan, July THE after
noon train on the Kansas City, Fort
Scott & Memphis railroad struck and
killed Lizzie Breyfogle, aged % years;
Lena Breyfogle, her sister, aged IL
years, both daughters of Hon. Lewis
Breyfog1e; also Edith Carroll, aged 13
years, at the crossing 1 mile north of
Lenexa, at $50 yesterday evening. The
Breyfogle girls were going to Lenexa
to do some shopping, and as the other
girl was with them at home she went
along. They had not gone more than
half a mile from their home when they
met with the accident
They were driving two horses to a
spring wagon At this place there is 4
deep cut, and parties cannot see the
train approaching. 1t was the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas train and was
running at the rate of 40 miles an hour.
The engine struck the wagon between
the front and hind wheels and broke
it all to pieces. The horses were not
hurt at all. The bodies of the girls
were very much mutilated and almost
beyond recognition. The train was
stopped and the lifeless bodies were
picked up and brought back to Lenexa.
This sad accident has caused a gloom
to spread over the entire community
on account of the prominence of the
parties killed. Hon Lewis Breyfogle,
the father of two of the girls killed. is
chairman of the county commissioners
and was at Olathe when the accident
occurred.
