AMONG THE POULTRY.

Do not omit the cleaning-up process
during the moulting season.
Growing birds must be well fed or
they will go into the winter very poor
and no eggs will be the result.
Fowls demand special care during
autumn months, and with the best at
tention thus, profits follow during the
winter.
1t will pay to select all fowls that
will likely be the most profitable DUR
ing the winter and give them special
attention.
Late hatched chicks are not worth
wintering generally, and the best thing
to do with them is to market before
cold weather.
well begun is half DONE" so begin
now to fix up poultry quarters for win
ter and do not wait until cold weather
is on. Remember you want a good
warm poultry house with plenty of
light.
Do not pay rs cents per gallon for
prepared lice killer, but make it your
self at cost of about 25 cents per gall
Ion. One pint of crude carbolic acid
added to one gallon of kerosene is equal
TO the best of it.
Give the fowls plenty of roosting
space and do not have one sitting on
top of the other. Each fowl should
have room enough so that they do not
more than touch while on the roosts.
Small breeds should not be permitted
to roost with the large breeds, but sep
arate departments should be provided.

w1NTERING THE BEES.
The Temperature Required Is About
That which VIII Keep POtn-
toes Successfully.

The problem of wintering is one OF
vital Importance. To leave n colony on
the summer stand, exposed to the sud-
den changes and bleak storms of vim
ter, is not conducive to success in the
beginning. The careful, successful bee
keeper would as soon think of winter
ing his COW in this manner as his bees,
which under proper care would yield
under the investment equally as much
profit.
There are two means of successful
winterng. First, packed, on the sum-
mer stand; second, in well-ventilated
cellar. The first is by far the most la
borious, yet it has some advantages.
Cellar wintering is the least expensive;
it is only necessary to keep them in
Egyptian darkness and as quiet as pos
sible, carrying them out on two or
three bright days for a fly during the
entire winter. The temperature re-
.quired is about that which will keep
potatoes successfully. They remain in
| "a semi-dormant state and consume but
| little.
Most everyone has his or her favorite
| location for the apiary. Some choose
the most shaded point possible. After
experimenting for several years, we
have determined that, in my locality at
least, the most exposed place possible
| is prolific of the best results. In the
country between the Missouri river and
the mountains the nights are usually
cool, and we find that the mercury falls
two or three degrees lower in the shade
than on the open ground; that it re-
quires n much longer time TO warm up
the hive in the shade in the morning
than those not shaded; and besides
this, the sun comes out so warm in the
morning that ofteIf before the colonies
in the shade are warmed up, the sun
has evaporated a great portion of the
| nectar.
1t is with the bee as with the farm
hand; the fellow who gets out early in
the morning is the one who usually
accomplishes the greatest days work.
In experimenting with the matter of
location we find that the colony located
nearest the shade gathers the least
stores, while those located on the most
exposed ground gather most. One case
in particular was a colony shaded by a
small plum tree. AS the tree grew, the
colony produced less stores, until it
barely gathered sufficient to winter it.
self. We moved this colony out into the
sunlight and it went back to its old rec
ord in honey-making.-E. Whitcomb, in
Farm and Home.

SOCIAL DELIGHTS
What One Experiences Sometimes
While Engaging In the Game
of Whist.

This is what Detroit whist player is
willing to take oath took place at party
where he was doing his level best for a
prize:
The large lady, his partner, gave the
right sleeve of her shirt waist hitch, NUT
tered under her breath and then said to
the other lady: Look at that, now. It's
all askew and so annoying. | don't care who
you go to or how much you pay, it's always
the same way. Did you signal for trump,
or was it the other hand"
THAT sleeve lost us three tricks" con-
tinued the complainant. Then the other
lady wanted a recipe for making chow
chow picklelily or something of that sort.
Of course my accommodating partner went
right to reelng it off, playing a king to my
ace when she had three spot, revoked on
another suit, led right into the enemy s
strength, and then had the nerve to ask
me if saw anywhere that she could have
bettered her play. Say, 1 wanted to boil
her in oil.
Il tried to keep from turning red, saying
anything sarcastic or swearing little, and
succeeded reasonably well.
"Then she went to telling about new
hat her neighbor had bought. She tool;
two five spots at heavy cost, and then
consoled me with half-screaming explana
ton that she had been playing pedro the
night before and had lapsed into it agair

Size)
a common garden plant, sparingly in
troduced into wet ground in California
and Texas, and in the Atlantic states
from New Jersey and West Virginia
and North Carolina.
Poisonous Properties - The fresh
milky juice is exceedingly acrid and
the fruit is highly purgative and pQis-
onous. When used as n household rem
edy it often provokes serious trouble.
Women and children are not infre-
quently poisoned by handling the plant
and getting the juice on the face. Cat
tie are quite resistant to its influence,
but they are sometimes overcome.
Goats will eat the plant extensively if
nothing better presents itself, and it
is said that their milk then possesses
all of the venomous properties of the
plant. When applied to the skin the
juice causes redness, itching, pimples
and sometimes gangrene, the effect
often lasting more than week. The
seed taken internally in overdose will
infame the mouth and stomach, and
cause intense diarrhoea and vomiting.
If the dose is sufficient there will be

general collapse and death.

No Monopoly In Poultry.

The rapid multiplication of poultry
being so easy the humblest individual
can take advantage of opportunities
and avail himself of the privileges
which cannot be monopolized. 1t is
the only class of stock that permits
science and knowledge to triumph over
wealth and possession, for monopoly
may seize the best flocks in the world;
yet patient industry and careful breed
ing, even in the hands of the most OBJ
scure and humble, will break down the
walls and open new avenues. The
monopoly that can be exercised in the
poultry business is brains, for every
man, woman and child has the same
privileges and advantages. City people

can have their Doultry.-Farm and

OATS AFTER OATS.
How to Maintain the Fertility of Soil
on Farms Whore the Condi-
tIOns Are UnfaVornble.

All farmers know that oats are an
exhaustive crop, and also one that it
is especially hard to get a clover or
grass seeding with. Where winter
grain is not grown, and oats are the
chief small grain grown, one failure to
seed is apt to be followed by others,
until the land becomes so exhausted
that neither oats nor grass can be
grown. Most of these failures to seed
with spring grain come from plowing
the land in early spring, thus turning
up lower strata of soil that has not
been properly mellowed by freezing.
The remedy for this is to fall plow the
land, leaving it rough, and then so soon
as it is fit TO work, cultivate it lightly
and put in the grain and grass seed
before plowing can be done. If frost
freezes the soil an inch or two after the
grain and grass seed are sown, it will
be all the betterfor both. If the second
crop of oats fails to give grass and
clover seeding, plow the stubble in the
fall after the oats are off and sow wheat
or rye, seeding with grass seed in the
fall and with clover seed in the spring.
This rarely fails to give good grass
catch, and if the season be favorable,
there will be some clover with it, even
on poor, thin soil.-Prairie Farmer.

How TO Handle Kamr Fodder.

There is quite difference in opinion
as to the best method of handling Kaffir
fodder when it is planted thickly, and
is to be used for feeding and wiLtering
stock cattle. In general it is believed
that the fodder should be cut and
placed in small shocks when the grains
have passed from the soft stage and
become firm. The fodder will yet be
green, and if put in large shocks will
spoil, but will be excellent feed if PROP
erly shocked. In feeding it when pre-
pared in this way the amount given
,hould not he more than the cattle will
Eat up reasonably clean, if too much is
given they will eat only the heads and
