GREEN BONES AS FOOD.
As Special Material for Egg PrOduo-
ton They Are Really with
out n Rival.

The value of bone cutter exceeds its
cost if the cutter is used only one sea
son, but as they are almost indestruct.
ible they will last for years. Fresh
green bone is almost of itself a com.
plete food. and may be used as a special
material for egg production While the
proportion of moisture in bone varies
ii is in but small amount in bone com.
pared with some other foods. The
moisture in bone may be set down at
about IS per cent, or little over one
third Bone contains about 90 pounds
of mineral matter in 100 pounds. 20
pounds of fat and 90 pounds of albu-
minoids. The mineral matter Tor ASH
contains about 81 pounds of phosphate
OF lime in 100 pounds, 11% pounds of
carbonate of lime and a small proper
ton or earthly matter. Now, anyone
can easily notice that bone is one OF
the best foods for producing eggs. as
the fat assists in forming the yolk of
the egg and also in sustaining the fowl
in winter when the weather is cold
The albumnoids provide the albumen
for the eggs. and the carbonate of lime
forms the shells, while the phosphate
of lime is an ingredient of the eggs and
is also just the thing to feed to growing
chicks to make them grow. Then there
is more or less adhering meat to green
bone which is largely nutritious and
very favorable TO the production of
eggs. There is no necessity for feeding
oyster shells to provide lime for the
eggshells, as the bone contains car
Donate Of lime in sufficient proportion
for that purpose. Bone is digestihle
and is food, yet it also serves as grit;
but in that respect no claims are made
for it compared with hard, sharp grit.
Do not confound green cut bone With
ground bone OF bone meal. The one is
dry and hard, the other is juicy and
succulent Another point is that bone
cutter Is not bone mill. The bone
cutter does not grind, but cuts las fine
as may be wished) both dry and green
bones, but bone mill will only grind
dry bones, as green bones are not suf-
ficiently brittle TO be ground The way
to feed green bone is to give it in the
morning, about pound to a dozen
hens (some give an ounce to each hen.
or pound to 1G fowIs) then give no
other food until night, but let the hens
scratch and work. Two or three times
week half the quantity of bone may
be used, giving also cut clover, ground
foods, etc, but always give full meal
Of whole grain at night, us too much
soft food is not conducive to thrift

Quality Determines Price.

Make 1t a point to have your poultry
Of the best quality before shipping to
market, says the New York Produce
Review. One who is not accustomed to
visiting the large markets knows moth
ing of the enormous amount of inferior
poultry that is sold and which largely
Affects the prices, yet there is always
a demand for that which is good and at
price above the regular quotations.
The asserting of the carcasses before
shipping also leads to better prices. Old
ROSTERS, which seldom sell at more
than half price, should not be in the
same boxes or barrels with better stock,
and to ship poultry alive and have
ROSTERS in the coop with fat hens is
simply to lower the price of the hens,
as the buyer will estimate the value by
the presence of the inferior stock. In
fact, never send any poultry to market
unless in first-class condition, and un-
der no circumstances ship the inferior
with that which is better.

A VARIETY OF VERSE.
The Unknown Hero.

An actual incident Of the battle of Sar
Juan Hill An attempt was made, aftel
the fight. to find and identify the soldier
but without success
The welcome bugie blew the charge
And thro' the brush we broke
With hearts aflame to reach the foe
And give him stroke for stroke!
Too long. too long the hour we lay
(Our fire without avaiD
Within the tangled tropic brush
Beneath the Spanish hail.
But now we sprang with hercer Joy,
AS leaps a famshed horde
And on we surged, in broken rank,
Across the fateful ford!
AS down the crooked trail we pushed,
With. hot and hurried breath.
Beside the path comrade lay
Sore-stricken unto death.
A regular" with gray-streak'd hair
To us he seemed to be,
Who'd dragged himself aside to die
Beneath the mango tree.
The burning sun beat down on him,
His parched lips wide apart
And thro' his wound we almost knew
The beating of his heart.
An instant more-from out the ranks
We saw our sergeant lean
He raised the dropping head and turned
To reach his old canteen.
The dying soldiers lips pressed close
His eyes shone wondrous fair
mo! not a drop-just take 1t on
To the fighting men up therer"
One fierce. mad rush-the hill was oursl
Yet. Glory stream'd that day
With equal splendor down below
Where the Unknown Hero lay!

SUBSOILING PAYS.
II increases the Storage Capacity Of
the SOIL and Promotes the
Growth of Crops.

Under all circumstances ii should be
the farmers aim 10 conserve the moist
ure in the soil-in the arid regions to
reduce as much as possible the labor
and expense of irrigation. and in humid
regions to protect crops against
droughts. Various means may be EN-
ployed for the purpose of conserving
and economizing the moisture supply
of soils. Subsoiling is one of the most
important of these means. Several of
the stations have made careful studies
of the influence of subsoiling on soil
moisture. The Wisconsin station de-
scribes this influence substantially as
follows: Subsoiling a increases the
storage capacity of the soil for moist
ure, and t2) increases the rate at which
water will sink into the soil, but 90
decreases the rate at which il NAV be-
brought back to the surface. Subsoil
ing also increases the amount of moist
ure available TO crops, since planas are
capable of utilizing a large proportion
of the moisture present in loose and
coarse grained soils than of that in
tne-grained and compact soils. As re-
gurus blIf DfSt Oh a
report of the Wisconsin station states:
"Subsoiling to be most effective
should be done in such way as to
leave the soil loose, much as the stub
BILE plow leaves it. To accomplish this
much will depend upon the character
OF the tool and more upon the condi-
ton of the soil when the work is done.
II the soil is to be so wet as to be
plastic when the blowing is done, then
the effect of the subsoil plow will be
to wedge the portions of the soil, which
are heavily pressed, into an even more
compact and close texture than before.
and thus develop Il condition the OPP
posite of that sought. To simply form
a long groove or channel in the subsoil
by wedging the dirt aside gives little
aid in the direction sought. Such
work, then, if done at all, should be
done when the subsoil itself is dry
enough, and this is most likely to oc-
cur in the fall after the crop of the
season has withdrawn the moist
ure from it. Subsoiling late, too, leaves
no time for the soil to lose its open
texture before the rains to be stored
reach it."

UNITING COLONIES.
IN Apinri-t of National Reputation
Describes How He Performs
the Delicate. Task.

As 1t may be necessary 10 double up
some colonies this spring we give the
method followed by Doolittle, the New
York apiarist, in Gleanings:
For two or three colonies make
box that will hold 12 quarts; for
larger colonies one that will hold at
least 20 quarts. One side must be OF
wire cloth, nailed on. The other side
should consist Of wire cloth nailed to
light frame so it can be easily removed.
4 funnel is put into a hole in the top
Of the box. Blow little smoke into
the first hive and pound on the top with
the fist, then treat in like manner the
others in succession. In five minutes
from pounding the first hive. the bees
will be filed with honey. Shake the
bees into the funnel, caging the queen
when found 4 cloth in the funnel
when not in use keeps the bees in.
Bump the box down so as to shake the
bees on the bottom, remove the funnel
and cover the hole. Mix the bees thor
oughIy by shaking and tumbling the
box. Bump it down again and drop
Into the hole Gagged queen, having the
cage suspended by wire hooked over
the top of the outside of the box. Have
candy enough in the case. Strong col
onies will begin breeding this month
in all iatitudes ranging from 40 to 4G
