Prentice's Advice.

Once when George d. Prentice of the

about to pass through Il double door
which opened both ways. He started
to push at the door on his right. A
young man coming from the opposite
direction was pushing at the same door
being his own left. Prentice lost pa

The Importance of tree farming in
the lands which, either from lack of
food material in them or from loca.
ton, as on steep hillsides, are fit for
nothing else, aud the money to be
made in it, is being quietly proved in
hundreds OF localities in New Jersey
and Pennsylvania. People find no
difficulty in understanding where the
money is in it. But that other reason
for tree planting, namely. to prevent
the loss of fertility and the loss of
moisture, is rarely appreciated even
by those whose farms are washed away
by every driving rain.
The bulletin from the Departm ent at
Washington upon "Washed Soils"
says the forest covering protects tho
soil in the following ways:
(a) By preventing rain from falling
directly upon the soil the foliage of the
tree crowns intercepting and breaking
its force, the water reaching the soil
more gently from the leaves along the
branches and trunks of tn, trees.
(b) BY interposlng loose cover, a
mulch OF litter, formed by the fall on
branches aud leaves, which breaks the
direct force of tho raindrops, and
keeps the soil frcm being compacted
or puddled by their blows.
(c) The deeply penetrating roots
and holes left from decayed stumps
and roots of trees assist in this under.
ground drainage.
(dl The litter with the stumps and
protecting roots and trunks Of trees
prevents the water from rapidly run
ming over the ground and from gaining
the momentum and force which fis
necessary in order to gully the soil,
and prevents the drifting and the rapid
thawing OF snow, thereby insuring
more even distribution of the waters,
and increases the time during which it
can be absorbed into the soil.

WHAT TO FEED HENS.

Green bones are not used as exten.
sively as they should be, because grain
can be obtained with less difficulty
and at low cost; but as producing
material, 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 meat adhering, and
the more of such meat the better, as
it will cost no more per pound than
the bone, while the combination of
both meat and bone is almost o per-
feet food from which to produce eggs.
If 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,
and it therefore pays to feed the sub
stances 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 a large
number of farms. The hens receive
plenty of food, but not of the proper
kind.
A pound of cut green bone is suf-
ficient for sixteen hens one day, which
means that one cent will pay for that
number of fowls. If one quart of
grain be fed at night to sixteen hens,
and one pound of bone in the morn
ing, it should be ample for each day
land the majority of fanciers do) we
find in winter. In summer only the
bone need bs given. Such diet
provides fat, starch, nitrogen, phos.
pilates, 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 profits as well.
The bone cutter is as necessary to
the poultryman as his feed mill. 1t
enables him to use an excellent and
cheap food, and gives him profit
where he might otherwise be com.
PEELED to suffer loss. 1t is claimed
that the 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 rations should
have them emitted. 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 ducklings will relish
such excellent food, while turkeys will
grow rapidly on it. TO meet with sue.
cess requires the use of the best ma.
terials, and green bone beats all other
substances as food for poultry. There
is quite difference between the
green, fresh bone, rich in its juices as
it comes from the butchers, and the
hard, dry bone which has lost its sue,
culence. The value OF all foods de.
pends largely upon their digestibility.
and the more this is provided for the
greater the saving OF food and the
more economical the production of
eggs.-Poultry Keeper.

DEEP FLOWING.

A friend asks if it is any benefit to
plow rundown land deeply that has
only been skinned over before. Well,
cannot answer positively in your
case. We have been bringing up n
farm that was run down and never had
been plowed deeply, and we know that
gradual deepening of the soil, by
plowing little deeper each time we
break up a sod, has been OF great
benefit to us. l believe that gener-
ally this will be true. We expose more
soil to the action of frost and air and
sun. We get more loosened up so we
can pulverize it and stir it around.
Thus We liberate more plant food, or
make it available for our crops. But
now, there are exceptions to this rule.
So test the matter carefully for your
SELF Increase depth of plowing very

You to keep on. Your soil and subsoil

SuDSOILING.

Subsoiling is sometimes beneficial,
and sometimes useless, and may be in
furious. Spring subsoiling is not to
be recommended. Whenever there is
dry, hard subsoil, it will pay to
loosen 1t up. Whenever there is sub
soil inclined to run together and be-
come compacted, deep and thorough
loosening Is just what is required. In
porous, gravelly subsoils the process
is useless and often injurious. Sub
soil plowing does not produce mois-
ture; it simply puts the ground in
good condition to receive and retain
moisture from precipitation. The Ca
pacity of porous soil to retain mois-
ture is we'll illustrated by this bit of
experience: Early last spring the
writer had several loads of coarse
sand and gravel hauled and deposited
in piles of about one cubic yard each.
This was removed about the end of the
protracted drouth. Six inches below
the surface it was wet enough for any
purpose of plant growth. About the
same time post holes dug in the black,
still soil near by showed it to be ap.
parently perfectly dry as deep as the
augur went, eighteen inches to two
feet. Subsoiling should never be done
when the soil is very wet, for this
leaves the ground ina worse condition
than before. Subsoiling should be
done in fall or winter, SO that repeated
rains may settle it and fill it to satur-
alton. After this shallow stirring of
the surface will retain the moisture,
with but little subsequent rain. -

CLEANING OSTRICH FEATHERS,

To clean white ostrich feathers, cut
some pure white soap in small pieces
and pour boiling water on them and
add little mite of soda. When the
soap is dissolved and the water cool
enough, dip the feathers in and draw
them through the hand. Do this
several times until the lather is dirty.
then make clean lather and repeat
the operation. Afterward rinse the
feathers in cold water, slightly blued.
Pat the feather between the hands and
shake them over the fire until they
are perfectly dry. Curl them by
drawing each fiber between the thumb
aud the dull edge of a silver knife.
With a little care aud patience the re.
suit will be all that can be desired.

JARE OF HANGING BASKETS IN WINDOWS.
Be sure to see that suspended plants
get enough water, advises Eben e.
Rexford. Most persons complain that
they "haven't much luck with hang
ing plants" In nine cases out OF ten,
the fault is their own. A plant sus.
pended at the height of ones head
above the floor is in a stratum of very
warm air where evaporation will take
place with great rapidity, and unless
water is given frequently and in lib
eral quantities the soil in pot or
basket will be very dry before you
know it.
The best plan know of for keeping
the soil in baskets evenly moist is this :
Take tin eau and make small hole
in its bottom. Fill this with water
and set it on top of the soil in the
basket. By watching development a
little you can tell whether the hole in
the can is too large, too small, or Just
the right size. 1t should be of size
to allow enough water to escape to
keep the soil moist all the time. 1t is
much easier to fill this can daily, or
oftener if necessary, than it is to ap-
ply water to the surface of the soil and
have enough soak into it to penetrate
all parts of it. The foliage of the
plant can be so arranged about the
san as to elfectually conceal it,-New
