A Rough Horse Ration.

Farmers near large cities frequently
have a chance to board horses during
the winter. While the prices paid are
not large, If the animals are properly
handled the manure will pay for the
food and for the care given them. Oat
straw and corn fodder should be cut
fine, mixing one bushel Of the cut feed
with four quarts Of bran and ground
oats. Feed one-half Of this mixture in
the morning, the other half at night.
Give half dozen ears of corn at noon,
and at night, after the cut feed and grain
mixture is given, provide a fork full Of
nay in the rack. Curry the horses daily,
water them twice day and give them
plenty of exercise in the barnyard on
pleasant days. Remove the manure to
the field as fast as made. This treat
ment will enable you to make little
money, have a good lot Of manure and
return the horses to their owners IN
the spring a couple of hundred pounds
heavier than when you took them in
the fall.

Breeding Swine.

The season for breeding swine Is at
hand, and il litter Of strong, healthy
pigs which will make profitable bacon
is wanted, care must be taken that the
boar Is in good condition. He must be
well fed but not Overfed, or he will be
too fat for proper service. Some corn
should be fed during the coldest weather,
but his main food should be ground
oats, shorts and milk, or some similar
nitrogenous food. His quarters should
be warm and secluded, for he should not
be kept in sight and hearing Of the
sows; if he is young the amount Of
service required of him must be limited,
once day being sufficient, and the SOW
should be removed as soon as served.
Never allow the boar to run among
the swine or to be with the SOW mo-
ment longer than Is required to perform
the necessary service. Bears handled
in this careful manner will beget strong
pigs that are not likely to have the dis
eases young pigs not carefully sired are
subject to, and the boar will retain his
vitality and be serviceable much longer
when thus treated.

Shall We Sell Potatoes NOw9

Whether to sell potatoes now or to
hold for higher prices later is a ques-
ton Northern and Middle State grow
ers are seriously considering. Here are
a few facts about the supply and demand
which point to present selling as the
better plan. The short potato crop OF
the past season made the smaller tubers
readily salable early, and the supply Of
this second grade usually fed to stock
or kept for home consumption was put
on the market At this writing the
stored supply is mainly Of fair-sized tu-
bers with the prospect Of an enormous
crop of early potatoes from the South,
which will come in before the old stored
crop is fully disposed Of If held much
longer. OF course it is possible that the
early crop in the South will not be a
full crop, but this is a contingency 1t
will not be well to place too much de-
pendence on.

The Best Breeding Hen.

The mistake is frequently made of
Matching eggs lrom hens which have
laid few or no eggs during the winter.
The argument Is that II the hen has
laid eggs during tue winter and early
spring the hatch from the later eggs
will be poor. This is all wrong and you
are simply adding to your flock a lot
of pullets which will, In nine cases out
of ten, inherit the faculty of nOn-laying
in winter and early spring, when eggs
are highest in price. or course, If poul-
try Is raised solely for the carcass this
management will make but little diff
ference. Set it down as a law of ma
ture that the eggs Of winter-laying
hen will produce winter-laying chick
ems in nine cases out Of ten. Force the
hens, by good food and care, to lay dur
ing the season wnen eggs are scarce and
high in price, but don't force them too
much at the start, but on the other hand,

Remedy for Wheat Smut.

In some wheat sections the wheat
smut has caused the partial or complete
loss of wheat crops. A number of chem
ical remedies are used for the disease,
the favorite one being solution OF blue
stone, but hot water is quite as effeC-
tive, besides being much cheaper and
easier to handle. Take three barrels and
fill one with cold water. Fill bag of
convenient size with the seed wheat,
and place it in the bag of cold water
allowing 1t to remain until every see.
Is moist Then drain off the cold wa
ter and place the bag in the second
barrel which is filled with warm water
The third barrel should contain hot
water kept to a temperature of about
1902, not any less and not more than
three or four degrees higher. When
taken from the barrel of warm water,
where 1t should be kept until the seed
is warmed all over, it should be plunged
in the barrel of hot water and kept
there for fifteen minutes At the end
of that period remove and spread out
to dry, being careful that the floor Is
clean and not one on which smutted
wheat has lain.

The Gala Lily.
the fall.

This old window garden faVopite has
proved a great disappointment to many
flower lovers each year, ana only be-
cause they do not understand the few
requirements of the plant, or rather
the bulb. Like all blooming plants it
requires a season of rest, and If bloom
Is wanted in winter the season Of rest
should be in the summer. After being
In the window garden all winter the
plant should be taken out OF the pot
in the early summer and laid in a shady
place out of the rain. When the top
is partially dead cut it back to within
SIX inches of the soil; withhold water
during the summer, giving only sufi-
cient to keep the bulbs from drying up
completely. In the early fall repot the
plant, using rich earth we'll enriched
with old stable manure. After taking
into the window give the plant plenty
Of water, keep the soil rich and you will
have plenty of winter bloom. If calla
lily plants now in the window are not
growing we'll, give them liberal applica-
tions Of liquid manure and you will see
a quick improvement. The lily is a
gross feeder and even when the soil in
which they are potted is very rich it is
often necessary to make it richer dur
ing the winter, especially if the foliage
growth is heavy.

From Actual Experience.

braced. The first season after plant
ing allow only one cane to grow, which
will branch at the height Of the lower
wire, one branch being trained In either
direction close to the wire. From these
arms canes will shoot upright the sec
ond season, and these should be trained
I'D on the wires to the top Of the trellls.
The third year will bring fair crop of
fruit and the fourth year a full crop.
AS none but the last seasons growth
of wood bears fruit, at the fifth year
from planting the first upright cane
from each of the horizontal branches
should be cut out, which will force a
new bud from the base of each, to be-
come in time the bearing cane; the next
season the next pair of upright canes
are cut out, and so on. BY this method
a heavily wooded old plant is avoided
and the vine kept in full bearing much
longer.

Glass in Poultry Houses.

In their anxiety to have warm,
sunny house for their poultry, many
raisers of fowls use too much glass. In
a climate like that Of Kansas single
window, usually sash three feet wide
and six feet long, Is ample for house
containing 15O to 25O square feet, or
about 15xl5. More glass than this will
maze the house too warm on sunny
days and on cold days the glass will
radiate the cold and make the house
far from comfortable. When constd-
erable glass Ia used, or the weather Is
extremely severe, 1t is good plan to
proyide a curtain to drop over the win
dow, especially at night. II necessary,
have curtains on both the inside and
outside of the sash. Made Of water
proof paper they are inexpensive, and II
carefully handled will last for several
years.

Underfsd Fowls.

Perhaps frightened by the serious re-
suits from overfeeding, many poultry
keepers are too careful and do not feed
suficiently we'll to keep the fowls In
proper condition. 1t is difficult to advise
a quantity Of food which would answer
equally we'll for poultry in all sections,
for quarters, climate and varieties OF
foou are widely different. While 1t Is
advisable to feed sufficient grain among
the litter to keep the fowls busy hunting
It. they should not be made to get the
bulk of each meal In this way. A good
plan is to feed all you think they should
have in the trough and an hour or two
later scatter the grain among the litter.
Watcn the fowls closely a few times
when they are scratching for the grain
and you will soon be able to see whether
they are too ravenous for the grain,
and IL SO feed heavier in the trough.

Cooking Potatoes.

Although the housekeeper will be most
interested in this note, 1t Is bit OF
practical agriculture which will add to
the farmers store Of knowledge. The
nitrogen, the nutrltive part Of the po-
tato, Is largely lost when the tubers are
peeled and placed directly in hot water
and the loss Is even greater when they
are peeled and placed in cold water. To
retain most Of the nutTitive properties
OF the potato it should be boiled with
out peellng and placed directly in the
hot water. For table use they can be
peeled after boiling and should be put
In tightly-clOsed dish to prevent evap-
Grafton OF the nutritiVe qualities.

Advantages Of Low Trees.

The most progressive orchardists have
rightly concluded that it is a waste OF
time and energy to have trees with the
trunk running up forty feet or more
in the afr. 1t Is difficult to pick the
fruit from such high trees and the por-
tion which falls Is ruined by being
badiy bruised. In resetting an orchard
buy one-year-old trees and after grow
ing them for year cut the years
growth of the bud back to about Ave
buds above the union and they Will maze
LIE top OF the tree without trunk. When
full grown a tree created In this manner
will be about forty feet In diamter and
not much more than half as high from
the ground to the topmost twig. Fruit
may be gathered from such tree at
much less expense than from tall tree.

The Culture of Grapes.

Grape vines may be pruned at any
time when they are dormant, but the
work is usually left until the last thing
In the spring, just before the sap begins
to flow, and then the cane bleeds badly.
Pleasant days in the early winter should
be utilized for this work. Use pruning
shears for the purpose, not knife, and
cut the vine at least an inch beyond the
bud. In most sections the trellis sys-
tenn Is preferred to any other; the trellis
should be strong and the posts well
