not been. She also admitted that Pinkham

Feeding Sitting Hens.

A hen does not know much at the best.
II she once begins to sit, even though ii
be on an empty nest her attention will be
so entirely devoted to the business she
has undertaken that she will remain on
the nest without taking time to take nee
essary food and drink. Such hen very
quickly runs down in flesh, and is also
probably permanently injured for egg pro-
duction. Nature cannot sustain life with
out food, and if other food is not provided,
it is quite probable that what eggs she has
in her ovum that are not forward enough
to lay will be absorbed, and aid in keep,
ing up the hens vitality, much as milk
may be when cow is partially starved.
At least once day the hen should be
pulled off the nest, and not allowed to go
to it until she has taken both water and
grain. The best grain of all for sitting
hen if you want to cure her sitting fever is
wheat. We have usually found that il
hens were fed wheat while sitting, and
after their chickens were Matched, that
they would not remain with their chickens
longer than to give them time to learn to
roost before they would begin to lay eggs
again. If a hen is too old to break up
thus. she is too old to be longer kept for
profit.

The Tent Caterpillar

We have been remir ded that the tent
caterpillar was very numerous in many
places in New e. gland las; year, and ask
ed to give methods of destroying them, or
preventing them from destroying the trees
These insects are SO easily found and kill
d upon the trees at any time from the de
posting of the eggs in July up to the
building of the tentlike nest in the next
spring that we consider them as the least
injurious OF our insect pests in the orchard
The eggs are deposited in July or August
by brown moth about three fourths oil
an inch long, and they encircle the twig
near its outer end like a brown band. a
half inch wide or more. These clusters OF
eggs may be found after the foliage is off
the tree, at any time. but We prefer toIwait
until spring, when they assume a silvery
appearance, and in the morning and after
noon, when the sun is shining into tree,
it requires but little looking to see the
glisten of the eggs if they are there. They
are easiest found in early morning when
there is little dew on them, and if they
are rubbed off the twig and burned, or the
twig itself cut off and burned with them,
that is an end of that trouble.
But if any escape observation, and the
tents are seen, swab TO long pole, wet
it with kerosene, and rub the swab
through the nest until it is destroyed,
which will kill every caterpillar it touches
We have even set the swab on fire and
burned out the nest and its occupants.
and if little care is taken this can be
done without injury to thu branch. The
best time to attack the nests is the morn
ing or evening as the family are all in the
tent then. while in the middle of the day
they are abroad feeding upon the leaves.
Spraying with any of the arsenites, as
is done for the canker worm, also destroys
the tent caterpillar, and those who have
large orchards will find this the surest way
of exerminating them.
They are even more fond OF the wild
cherry as a breeding and feeding place
than of the apple, and while some have
advised the destruction of the wild cherry
for that reason, others are better pleased
to let the cherry trees remain and destroy
the caterpillars there. The danger of this
is that many will not kill them on the
cherry trees, and one there may breed
moths enough to supply every tree in the
orchard with tents in its branches There
is also species in the fall, but they may
be met in the same way by spraying or
with kerosene swab -dmey1tan CNHiOafor

Arr OstOOk Potatoes.

In Aroostook county towns last weel
the pnce of potatoes reached s. 80 bar
rel, afterwards falling off to S. 20. The
streets of Caribou, Presque Isle, Houltor
and Fort Fairfield have lately been crowd
ed with potato teams, and general busi'
ness is greatly benefited by the boom
The extraordinary demand for Maine
potatoes is the direct result Of the UMPIRE
cedented cold in all parts of the country
which ruined from 10 to 40 per cent of the
crops stored, the damage in some sections
being such that the farmers will be coma
PEELED to buy seed. In Aroostook the
facilities for frost-proof storage are such
that little damage was done by the cold
weather. 1t is now estimated that from
IS to SO per cent oil the Aroostook crop
has been marketed.

of stock fodder on hand, l20 per cent.
Cost of wintering farm animals, So per

chiefly on low price of hay and OTHER
feeds. Acreage of land plowed last fall,
as compared with former years. l04

In an editorial article in Tobacco
Trades" trade journal published in the
city of Boston, the statement is made
which will doubtless surprise most people
that within the last two years the sale Of
cigarettes in this country has declined
more than one. fourth Two chief reaso
are advanced for the decreased American
consumption Of cigarettes There has
been an increasing prejudice against them
and after repeated campaigns by tempe
rance people numerous states have taken
legislative action. In our own state, for
instance, there is law prohibiting their
sale to minors, though it is not wholly
effective Then the leading cigarette
manufacturing firms ceased advertising,
two year ago, believing that the cigarette
habit was SO firmly fixed that the demand
for their goods did not need the continued
stimulus of advertising Remark ng on
this decreased sale OF the cigarette state
exchange says: However much these
reasons have operated to cause such a
marked decline in cigarette smoking, and
whatever other reasons may have operated
to bring it about, the intelligent people OF
the country will rejoice that the decliDe is
an undisputed fact. and will hope that
each year will see fewer and fewer of the
injurious coffin tacks smoked by our
bows

How He Sailed the Calf.

A Jefferson County farmer hired very
inexperienced boy out of the reformatory
to help about the place One morning be
told the lad to 60 and salt the calf in the
pasture. The boy took about quart OF
salt, rubbed it all over the calf, working it
INTO the hair. A gang of colts in the pas
ture scented the salt and got after the calf.
They licked the hair all off the calfs back
and tried to lick the hide off, too. The
farmer tried to catch the calf and wash it
off, but the creature, thinking he wanted
TO lick, too, kept OUT of his way. The boy,
calf and farmer are all unhappy. The
colts are the only ones that got any fun
