Crops Not to Turn Under.

There are a few crops that pay well
it turned under and a good many that
1T does not pay to turn under.
Among the latter are such crops as
rape. Every once in awhile some per-
son asks the value of this for a green
manure. 1t is practically nothing.
The reason is that it adds nothing to
the soil, for it has built itself up en-
tireiy from the soil. AS a general
proposition we should turn under only
those plants that have gained some
thing from the air, and those plants
are the legumes. Fortunately the
number of the legumes is large and
some of them will do well on most
any soil. If we can't grow one of the
clovers we may yet be able to grow
cow peas or sofa beans, or even the
sand vetch. We have even seen the
ground sown to white beans and the
crop turned under when the growth
had become rank.-Farmers' Review.

The teaching of agriculture in the
country schools is receiving attention.
1t is believed that if the children of
farmers are taught regarding some
things done on farms, and especially
where mistakes are made, they will
have a desire to learn more and will
take more interest in literature re-
lating to farming. The study of ag-
riculture in the schools will not
greatly interfere with other courses
and can be made more interesting if
lectures are given and practical dem
onstrations made in botany, also
showing the textures of soils and the
growing of crops. etc. 1t is possible
that some method of instruction may
be devised that will induce the young
men to take more interest in farming.

SCIENCE I'm
Nitrogen and Carbon the Two Princi-
pal Substances Desired I'm
Food for Poultry.

Many farmers do not fully un1ier.
stand the terms used by those WHO
give directions for feeding, although
some farmers have made such matters
a study. A farmer may not know the
relative proportions of the several sub
stances in foods, but he should en-
deavor to learn by experience what to
give his f1ocks, what to avoid, and how
often. The two principal substances
in food desired for poultry are nitro
gen (for flesh, albumen, etc. and car
bon (for fat). The heterogeneous foods
are meat, beans, clover, and TO a GER
tain extent grains. The carbonaceous
foods are corn, fat meat, grease, rice,
etc. If a hen is fat she needs no food
exceHing in fat. Hence, finely cut clo-
yer hay scalded in the morning, with
a tablespoonful of linseed meal at
night, is better for egg production
than grains. If the hen is poor, give
grains at night. All foods, however,
contain fat and also some nitrogen.
l. should be borne in mind that the
more quiet and sluggish the disposition
the less. corn or heating food is re-
quired. A laying hen should never be
very fat, for the accumulation of fat
is very injurious to reproduction. If
o fat the hen may not lay; she be-
comes egg-bound, breaks down, and
soon proves unproductive. Any fowls
that are active foragers and are laying
may be fed all they will eat; but if the
hens are apparently in good health, but
do not lay, feed no corn, give plenty
of meat and allow bulky food, or they
will fatten quickly. If fed heavily, a
hen will either lay or fatten in a short
time, and if the hens are Asiatics and
cas- to lay the feeding must be done
cautiously. 1t is ever better to get
them down to a poor condition rather
than permit them to become too fat.
An excellent mode of feeding is to
allow plenty of bulky food, and to give
each hen an ounce of raw chopped
meat in the morning and whole pats at
night A few grains of wheat or corn
may be scattered in litter. in order to
induce them to scratch, which will be
beneficial; but grass may be fed free
ly. There is no advantage in break
ing an Asiatic from setting; but the
best way to break her is to place her on
a grass-plot in a yard and compel her
to hunt for her food. 4 box may be
allowed her at night. which should be
removed the next day, unless in damp
weather. The object should be to get
her to work and reduce her in flesh.
If food is scarce in the yard a few
oats at night may be given. If all
breeds are kept together some of the
hens will lay, while others will not, for
the reason given above. Therefore, ii
is best to keep only one breed, so as
to give all the hens the same manage
ment.-Farm and Fireside.

IF YOU WANT GOOD HEALTH.

Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold.
Never take warm drinks and then
Immediately go out into the cold.
Never omit regular bathing, for,
unless the skin is in active condition,
the cold will close the pores and favor
congestion or other diseases.
After exercise of any kind never
ride in an open carriage or near the
window of a train for a moments; it
is dangerous to health and even life.
When hoarse. speak as little as pos
sible until the hoarseness is recovered
from, else the voice may be perma-

Black Breeds Are Unpopular.

That the black varieties are not
more generally popular is due prin-
cipally to the prejudice against them
as dressed poultry. Consumers OF
poultry object to dark legs. to white
skin and to dark pin feathers in the
carcass. Now, a prejudice of this kind
has to be reckoned with and consid-
cred by the poultryman. and it must
be taken at it's face value. There is
no way of discounting it. Further
more. a poultryman is safe in taking
it at its present value, for there is
not the least likelihood of its chang
ing within a generation.-Farm poul-

HAVE A HIGH STANDARD.
And Then Try to Live Up to 1t as
Nearly a Circumstances and
Conditions Permit.

If the question is to who is the most
successful farmer in a neighborhood
were thoroughly studied, a great deal
more success in farming would result.
The most successful farmer sees the
mistakes which hasty action makes,
and therefore considers well before
hand everything he does, and avoids
the mistakes of rushing at a job with
out considering the consequence. The
most successful farmer is he who inn
proves his intellectual faculties along
with the development of his industrial
faculties.
Some of the things the successful
farmer does are as follows: He con-
siders well how to prepare land for
next years crop. He labors at it I'M
tiringly until thoroughly satisfied that
it is well worked and will produce a
crop of No. 1 grain. He clears his
and of rubbish and stones. and will
not hesitate to put in drains and ex-
pend money on improving the land
whenever he deems it necessary. He
carefully selects what fields are best
for wheat and which for pasture. His
buildings are good, thus keeping his

dairy cows and his cattle for beef, he
selects the best breed of pigs and
other animals. and everything he has
is kept up to the standard.
He is not a greedy, groveling old fell
low. On the contrary, he enjoys life
in every way which he thinks does
him any good. He takes and studies
agricultural papers, newspapers and
books of an instructive sort. and al
lows his children good moral literature.
He goes to his wife for advice and
lays before her his plans for future
time. He quietly attends to his bust
ness at home and does not ask the pub
lie what he may INK may not do. In
AL his outdoor zeal the farmer does
not forget his wife. but has everything
in the house as handy and convenient
as possible for her. Perhaps my stand
ard for the successful farmer is too
high; but every one of us ought to
try TO be as nearly the standard a.

Making Pork of Horseae.h.

The western ranchmen have found a
new outlet for otherwise worthless
horseflesh- The ranges of western
Montana have for a long time sup
ported large droves of wild horses of
no particular breeding end worthless
for commercial purposes. Their hides
could be sold for about two dollars, and
the ranchmen sometimes bought the
animals from the Indians at a nom
inal price. Recently a ranchman that
feeding a large number of hogs
concluded to try horsefiesh. So he
started in buying at S1.75 all that the
Indians would bring him. He sold the
hides for two dollars each and fed the
horseflesh to his swine. At last reports
he had disposed of about 500 horses in
this way. As the horsefiesh costs him
practically nothing 1t should be a pay
ing business.
