two birds making love to watch one
young girl when she is first con-
scious that young mans heart is
drawn towards her. She fiushes

in a quick sort of way exactly as
the yellow canary bird does in its

single idle fowl may not be great,
but it detracts just so much from the
earning power of the flock.
Disease is an unnatural condition.
Bad air and impure water aud foul
quarters are the most common rea-
son for it in the poultry yard. These
can be avoided, and should be
avoided, or you should go out of the
chicken business as soon as possible.
The dust bath is not of fanciful
benefit. 1t is to the fowl as water
to the human biped, and more, for it
not only keeps their plumage from
dirt, but dislodges insect enemies
from their skins. Their apprecia-
ton of its value is sufficiently
attested by the use they make of it
when they have the chance.
Few farm interests are so little
developed along strictly business
lines as that of poultry keeping.
Most of those engaged in it merely
run it as an accessory to something.
There is yet room for good, active
men, with small capital, to employ
their time and money in this occu-
patton to good advantage.

except when she is ready to go to
roost in the evening, and then give
what corn or wheat the flock will
pick up. Corn once day is just
what the hen needs if she works for
the rest of her living.
Better results can be obtained
from few hens and plenty of space
than by over crowding. If they
must be confined, let the yard be as
large as possible. The diet she
hunts will naturally be insects and
green stuff, and the exercise she is
forced to take is no unimportant
factor in keeping her in good cOndi.

wheat for Bee pasture. Not only
will the bees get an abundant honey
supply, but the sower will get grain
enough to pay for the labor. Buck
wheat is one of the very best things
one can provide with which to feed
the laying hens during the winter
months.
1t is we'll to have the bees and to
provide abundant sources of food
supply for them, but he who is not
fully provided for the June swarms
as they come off is not assured of
reaping the full rewards his venture
should bring him. At such times
minutes mean great deal, and one
should be able to lay hand immedi-
ately upon everything needful.
Little improvement comes from
superabundance of poor food, but if
a small quantity of that which is
concentrated is added, the animal
will eat, digest more, and make furth-
er gain. When concentrated, high
ly favored food is given with the
coarser, the digestive organs are
stimulated to increased action and
more efficient effort.
Wild animals always tend toward
uniformity; on the other hand, if
changed from a wild to domestica-
ted state they tend to vary in form,
color and productive powers. 1t is
not certain that the cause or law for
this has been discovered, though it
probably chiefly lies in the change

formed from shiftless into extremely
careful stock keepers, merely by the
Introduction of a few really fine ami
mails into their herds. There was a
stimulating influence which it was
impossible for them to resist. That
alone is reason why good stock
pays better than scrubs.
Do not mix up your breeding.
Even if you start with herd of ma
tivelcows, always employ pure bred
bull of the breed with which you
start, and you will soon begin to see
direct Improvement of your herd.
Every time you vary from direct
line or permit the use of a grade
sire, you are taking step backward.
The same rule will hold with other
stock.
Beets are worth more for feeding
late in the winter than in the fall,
for two reasons: Like winter APP
piles, they 90 through a curing or
ripening process, which improves
them; and second, after being fed
for months on dry food the stock
need more and relish better a change
to succulent food.
A well bred Shorthorn will make
more beef in a given time from the
same food than will a common ma
tive animal. Well bred sheep will
produce more and better WOOL well
bred hogs will use corn to better
advantage; even pure bred hens will
lay more eggs. Few dispute, but
many neglect to observe this lesson.
Manuring the soil is wise; good
cultivation of the crop is needful (;
but neither of these will pay better
than the Improvement of the live
stock. The farmer who does not
observe this fails in the very fOunda-
ton of successful agriculture, and
in due time he will give out the old
wall.
On thousands of farms bees might
be kept with but little trouble, and
if not a pound of honey was sold
there would always be a supply of
the most delicious sweet known to
man for home use. 1t costs but little
to begin with them, and nothing to
keep them going. They not only
feed themselves, but furnish food
for their owners.

horticulture,

Just after the gathering of the fall
apples the prices are usually low,
and better profit would be obtained
if they could be held until the early
winter months. Let them be sorted
and stored in perfectly dry room,
with a very low temperature.
Currants need a deep, well cult
waited soil, with plenty of moisture.
Every autumn prime away the old
wood. In the spring cultivate and
cover with mulch, to keep the
roots cool and moist during the sum-
mer. Then keep the worms away,
and you will be pretty sure of good
fruit.
With growing young orchard the
farm will augment in value in your
own eyes as well as in those of your
neighbor, aud You will be very indie
pendent in naming a figure. The
fruit will be source of profit, and
your place become more attractive
as home. 1t will be hard to name
price or to give it up.
Give the raspberries which you
plant this fall piece of moist, rich
land IT you mean to grow wholly
satisfactory and profitable crop. On
such ground the canes, if left to
themselves, will make too rank a
growth at the expense of their
fruitiug qualities. Pinch off the
tips and force the formation of side
branches.
The raspberry is very impatient of
drouth at all times, and fruiting
season will bring little else than a
crop of seeds. Plant at such dis
tances as to admit of thorough cult
walton and loosening of the soil, and
provide mulch for them as soon as
cultivation ceases.
1t is pretty certain that il any of
the small fruits are given exactly
the sort of care they need they will
pay abundantly. This is as true of
the raspberry as of the strawberry,
but it is more generally neglected,
and that is the reason why less
profit is usually found in the one
than in the other.

healthy through the warm weather
see that the feeding troughs and

things is true-either the fowls do
not have enough attention, or your
credit is too good at the grocery

Columbus, Ohio.

A week of fine weather and a fast
track contributed much to make the
Grand Circuit meeting at Columbus,
Ohio, last week a grand success.
The first heat in the 1925 pace on
Wednesday was marred by an acct
dent, in which Ed. Geers, the vet
eran driver, had a narrow escape.
Just after the horses got away, Silk
Woodruff, driven by Grady, stumbled
and fell. Red Oak, driven by Geers,
was close behind, and being unable
to get out Of the way, went down
also, throwing Geers over his head.
Geers struck on his shoulder and his
presence of mind saved him, for he
crawled under the fence just as Red
Oak rolled over. He was pretty
badly shaken up, but will be in the
sulky again in few days.
We give below the summaries of
the principal events of the week:
