FOR The FARMER.


A fresh egg has q limelike eur

Poultry can stand great amount
of cold if sheltered from the Sc
we're blasts.
Examine the droopy hen. 1t is
probably lice and immediate atten-
ton is necessary. . m
Scatter lime broadcast over your
yard. 1t IL a splendid thing for
both young and old fowls.
Too much soft cooked food is not
good for fowls. They need some
employment for the gizzard.
Don't try to keep all the different
varieties Of poultry. Two or three
varieties of the best are plenty.
Keeping poultry with ruccess is
not difficult feat to perform; the
chief requisite is common sense.
Overlooking is expensive. 1t not
only costs more for the feed, but
the hens get too fat and lay no
eggs.
One good thoroughbred fowl can
often be sold for as good price AZ
dozen poor ones, and cost no more
to raise.
Clean up and disinfect all feed
aud watering lroughs. This is es-
pecially necessary if wooden
troughs are used.
Don't fail To whitewash the house
outside "a we'll AZ inside. 1t adds
To the appearance, and really is az
much benefit rs the inside work.
Tie gizzard Of the fowl niasti-
Gales the TODD, but this can only be

Cool all.purpose fowls are the
Wyandotte, the Plymouth Rock and

Ot the Wyandnttes. four varieties II
the Plymouth Rocks and three va
rirties Of Javas.
Don't put more than twenty
chicks with one hen; generally
twenty is enough for the early
chicks. 1t generally pays to put
two broods with one hen if the
weather is not to cold and they are
properly sheltered at night.

A low, spreading tree is least at.
fected by the winds.
1t is not too late yet to FIJI vacant
places in the orchard.
The kind of soil has much to do
with the quality Of fruit.
Always remove dead or decaying
wood from growing trees.
A fast growing tree is not apt to
produce very much fruit.
All superfuous branches are
needless drain upon the resources OF
the tree.
In pruning the grapes it is good
plan TO allow FIVE canes to each
post, cutting back yearly.
Pruning is done for two reasons:
To make symmetrical long lived
trees and to cause fruitfulness.
Red clover is one of the best
plants for orchards, it keeps the
ground loose and enriches the soil.
The most important thing in pear
culture is good, well-drained soil.
Train the trees carefully while
Young.
II grape vines are expected to
bear well to good old age they
must be intelligently pruned from
the first.
Setting a good, stout stake by the
side Of crooked growing tree and
tying it will often help in straight
ening it.
The peach will bear more and
better fruit if kept trimmed back,
and the fruit will be more evenly
distributed over the Tree.
A fruit plant exposed to the sun
and wind will soon die. When re-
ceived from the nursery keep it cool
and moist until SET out again.
A well-grown, thrifty tree, we'll
established may survive few years
of neglect, while younger tree
would soon die of such treatment.
After the trees have been growing
long enough to become well estab-
lished any deep stirring of the soil
is certain to break or iniure the
roots.
Scattering a liberal dressing Of
salt under the pear tree is recon-
nended as good remedy for blight.
1t also helps to make plant food in
the soil available.
In setting out trees at any time
trim the ends of the roots and
broken parts, spread out the roots
in their natural position and press
the soil closely about them.
When trees are badly infested
with bark lice, one of the best rem
edies is to wash them with a strong
solution Of tobacco, to which ls adj
ded the same quantity of soap suds.
A. this time many pit plants
will he benefited by removing sew
eral inches If the old sol around
them and refilling the pits with

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April "a break
in the levee at Burton's saw mill, a few
miles south Of Baton Rouge, occurred
today, and for a while it looked as If
a disaster similar to the Biggs crevasse
had befallen that section. The engi-
neers and laborers went to work with
a will, however, and a few hours later
succeeded in mending the crevasse,
and tonight the strong current is pass
ing on to the Gulf Of Mexico. The
water continues to rush through the
Biggs crevasse and is spreading over
a great area in North Louisiana.
Throughout the Mississippi delta the
flood is slowly receding. An appeal has
been forwarded the government at
Washington for tents to shelter the
homeless and destitute. At Vicks-
burg, Camp Warren has been pitched
and several thousand refugees are be-
ing cared for. At Helena the back
water is falling and the situation is
more encouraging. The river at Mem
phis tonight is falling. Cairo reports a
fall of seven-tenths Of a foot, while
the Ohio river is falling at Paducah,

FREE TO EVERY MAN.
THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREAT
HIENT
Which Cured Him After Everything
Else Failed.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when a man is slowly wasting away
with nervous weakness, the mental
forebodingS are ten times worse than
the most severe pain. There is no let
up to the mental suffering day or night
Sleep is almost impossible and under
such a strain men are scarcely respon-
sible for what they do. For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea Of sexual weakness until 1t was a
question whether he had not better
take a dose Of poison and thus end all
his troubles. But providential inspira-
ton came to his aid in the shape Of 4
combination of medicines that not only
completely restored the general health.
but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts
to natural size and vigor, and he now
declares that any man who will take
the trouble to send his name and ad-
dress may have the method of this
wonderful treatment free. Now when
I say free / mean absolutely without
cost, because 1 want every weakened
man to get the benefit Of my expert
ence.
1 am not philanthropist, nor do I
pose as an enthusiast, but there are
thousands of men suffering the mental
tortureS of weakened manhood who
would be cured at once could they but
get such a remedy as the one that
cured me. Do not try to study out how
1 can afford to pay the few postage
stamps necessary to mail the informa-
ton, but send for it, and learn that
there are a few things on earth that
although they cost nothing to get they
are worth a fortune to some men and
