SAVE YOUR FIELDS.
III You Do Not Feed Your Land II VIII
Refuse 10 Feed You.

III fOu DO Not Feed Your Land IL VIII
Refuse TO Feed You.
"Why do you feed your horse?" If
that question were asked the average
farmer he would doubtless answer:
"You are fool; feed him to keep hi
alive and able to work." But if the
question were asked: "Why don't you
feed your land?" the average farmer
would not be so ready with his answer.
Yet the one thing is no more portant
than the other. If it is absurd to be
able to work and produce results hav-
ing no material to be converted into
strength, it is no less SO to expect land
TO produce crops continuously without
having new supplies Of plant food with
which to make them grow. No soil is
nexhaustible.
While there are large Accommodations
of plant food in some localities, con-
tinuous cropping and the teaching and
washing caused by rains will in time
deplete and exhaust them. 1t is better
to feed the land before it is starved. 1t
is easier to keep a horse fat than to
fatten n poor one; and ii is easier to
keep land productive than to take that
which is dead poor and make IL so. A
horse that is still strong enough to as
simulate his food can soon acquire his
normal strength; he only wants plen-
~ of good food. Land that will grow
crops of any leguminous plant will. if
the same are plowed under or fed Off
in the field, in a short time recover
enough tone to produce profitable crops
of other things. But If allowed to run
down so that neither clover nor peas
will make a crop, it cannot be economic
ally restored. A word to the wise il
sufficient begin this year to feed your
land. so that it in turn may feed YOU

FEEDING FOR EGGS.
why Green Homes should De Used
Much MOrc ExtenniYcly.

Much More Extensively.
The profit is always sure when every
detail is correct. Cheap food must not
be estimated by the price paid for IL
in the market. The cheapest food for
the poultryman or farmer is that which
gives him the largest number OF eggs.
1t matters not what the food costs. SO
long as the eggs correspond. 1t is the
product by which we should measure
and estimate.
Green bones are not used as extern
siyely as they should be. because grain
can be obtained with less difficulty and
at a low cost. but as egg producing ma
teral the bone is far superior to grain:
nor does the bone really cost more than
grain in some sections. The cutting Of
the bone into available sizes is now
rendered an easy matter. as the bone
cutter is within the reach of all. Bones
fresh from the butcher have more or
less adhering. and the more of such
meat the better, as il will cost no more
per pound than the bone, while the
combination of both meat and bone is
almost perfect food from which to
produce eggs.
IL the farmer can get two extra eggs
per week from each hen in winter, he
will make large profit We may add
that If the product of each hen can
be increased one egg per week only in
winter, that one egg will pay for all
the food she can possibly consume, aud
it therefore pays to feed the substances
that will induce the hens TO lay. If
the hens are consuming food and yet
are producing no eggs, they will cause
a loss to their owner; and this happens
every winter on large number of
farms. The hens receive plenty of
food, but not of the proper kind.
A pound of cut green one is suffi.
cient for IS hens one day, which means
that one cent will pay for the bone for
that number of fowls. If one quart of
grain be fed at night to l6 hens, and
one pound of bone in the morning. it
should be ample for each day in VIM
ter. In summer only the bone need
be given. Such diet provides fat,
starch, nitrogen. phosphates. lime and
all the substances required to enable
the hens TO lay eggs. AS an egg is
worth about three cents in winter. it
is plain that it is cheaper to feed bone
than grain. as the greater number Of
eggs not only reduces the total cost.
but increases the profit as well.
The bone-cntter is as necessary to
the poultryman as his feed mill. 1t
enables him to use an excellent and
cheap food. and gives him a profit
where he might otherwise be COM
PEELED to suffer loss. 1t is claimed
that bone-cutter pays for itself in
eggs, and really costs nothing. Bones
are now one of the staple articles of
food for poultry. and no ration should
have them omitted. They are food.
grit and lime, all combined in one. and
the hens will leave all other foods to
receive the cut bone. If cut fine, even
chicks and ducSlings will relish such
excellent food. while turkeys grow rap
idly on it. To meet with success re-
quires the use of the best materials,
and green bone beats all other sub
stances as food for poultry.-Rura

HINTS FOR BEEkEEPERS.

The Italians stick closely TO the
combs even when handled.
After the first swarm issues cut out
all the queen cells but one.
DO not keep a colony with a defective
queen. Kill her and give them a good
one.
Wherever farmer, dairyman or hor.
ticultnrist can make living bee man
can also.
One advantage with bees il that dur.
ing the greater part of the year their
feed costs nothing.
There are three classes of bees in
thrifty colony, nurse bees. wax workers
and honey gatherers.
Always have extra hives to save every
swarm that comes out; often little
delay will lose them.
Give the bees plenty of working
room If you want to prevent small
swarms from coming out.
IL you will go through each colony
once a week and take out the queen
cells. q swarm will rarely come off.
While bee hives may sit out in the
sun all summer. it Is better to shade
them on account Of saving the honey.
Italian bees are generally admitted
to be superior to the black bees. They
are better workers and are more easily
controlled.
Especially in the middle OF the day
when the bees are at work, approach
hive from The sides or rear, so as not
to interfere with them in their flight.
Never leave newly hived swarm
near the place where II clustered. The
safest plan is to remove II at once to
. stand somewhat distant whether the
bees are all in or moist. Louis Repuh

A well-known Louisville woman was

A well-known Louisville woman was iii,

critical condition. Among the sympathetic
nelghbors was a pretty widow who was
lavish in her expressions OF sympathy for
the husband and children. Aud it came to
pass that she began to sympathize with
them to such an extent that she spent most
OF her time at the house. When the wife
was thought to be sinking and the family
were beginning to fear the worst, the
widow. walked up to the husband and said /:

with a mighty effort, raised up in her bed

your assistance in the future" From that
time. the woman rallied, and is now hale
