DO NOT SPARE THEM.
Use the Ak on the Hen That Lays Her
Eggs ON the Floor of the
Poultry House.

The hen which habitually lays her
eggs on the floor of the poultry house
or in the scratching pen should be
killed. If she is not made away with
the owner will find flock of egg-eat-
ers on his hands before the winter is
over. And after having had one ex-
perience of that kind he will not risk
another for the sake of saving the head
of any hen on the place.
A certain proportion of the pullets
when they first begin to lay will refuse
to use the nesting boxes. If caught
when discovered making a nest on the
floor and penned in one of the boxes it
will usually break up the habit of de-
posting the egg on the floor. But one
will be found now and then which will
obstinately refuse to lay anywhere but
on the floor. When all other persuasion
and argument fails, that of the hatchet
will be effective.
Don't be chicken-hearted about ap-
plying this remedy. You can't afford
to take the chances of losing all the
profits of your winters work merely
for the sake of sparng pig-headed
hen or two.-Farmer's Voice.

PREPARING SOD GROUND.
Why 1t should BE PlOwed at the First
Favorable Opportunity Dur
ing the Winter.

In most cases when a piece of sod
ground is to be prepared for planting
10 corn in the spring, it will be good
plan to plow at the first favorable op-
portunity during the winter.
The thawing and freezing to which
1t will usually be subjected will aid in
loosening and disintegrating the sod,
and making it an easier task to work
into a proper tilth for planting. 1t is
important in plowing sod to turn the
top sod completely over. 1t is best for
corn especially to plow reasonably
deep. Deep plowing and shallow culti-
walton will give the best results. 1t will
also make it easier work to prepare the
soil in a good tilth if care is taken to
plow thoroughly at the start.
Freshly plowed old sod requires con-
siderable work to prepare i, in good
tilth, and if the plowing is delayed un-
til spring, after grass has made start
to grow, even more work is required.
Sod ground can be plowed in many
cases when old ground would be entire
ly too wet. After plowing, ii is usually
not advisable to disturb it again until
ready to prepare for planting. AT this
time there is no better implement to
use than good disc harrow. Unless
the sod is old and tough one good 60
ing over with the harrow, tapping well,
will be sufficient, but with old sod it
may be necessary to go over twice, the
first time the way the land was plowed,
and the second time crosswise. 1t is
best TO lap well, and to cut reasonably
deep. The disc harrow will cut thor
| ough!y. and then the smoothing har-
row will fine and level down and pu;
the soil in good condition for the seed.
1t pays with all crops, and especially
one like corn, that is to be cultivated,
to prepare the soil thoroughly before
the seed is planted, and il will be best
| to go over with the disc and smoothing
harrows several times in order TO Sc
cure this condition, rather than to
plant with the soil in rough condition.
In system of rotation corn after
grass is one of the best plans, but in
securing good growth and yield. it is
essential that the soil be well prepared.

Enterprise Usually Wins.

There is no enterprise upon which a
man can embark his capital without
an element of uncertainty attaching
thereto. 1t is said that 80 per cent. of
the people who undertake merchandis-
ing fail sooner or later. We have made
note of the fact that farmers who put
seed in the ground early at the risk of
a nipping by frost now and then are
the men whose cribs are full of corn,
whose granaries are bursting with
grain, who drive fat horses and wear
good clothes. The Scriptures tell us
that He that guardeth the clouds
shall not reap" We may add as a
commentary that the man who idly
waits for spring is always at the tail
end of the procession.-Texas Farm

GOOD FARM MACHINERY.
In These Days of Competition Field
a Work Cannot he Carried On Sue
cessfuIIy without II.

Every good farmer recognizes the i'm
portance of having full equipment of
farm implements and machinery, and in
fact the difference between a first-rate
and second-rate farmer is very striking
ly marked in the quality of machines
and implements found upon their
farms. 1t looks like a waste of time
and labor to spend many weeks or
months time in preparing for crop
and then lessen its chances of growth
by imperfect implements in working
and harvesting it. The thrifty and
well-posted farmer sees to it that every
implement, or machine, or tool, upon
the place is in first-class order, and
he also sees that these things are of
the latest pattern and with all i'm
provements such as are calculated to
do the work perfectly. with the mini
mum expense of labor; and then be-
sides there is great deal of satisfac-
tion in having things about the farm
that work nicely. There is nothing
more discouraging to farm hand than
to send him out to the field to work
with an imperfect plow or any sort of
implement. He is more than likely to
shirk his work, and the chances of a
matured crop are lessened by every day
that he spends in the feld with this
sort of machinery. We wish to inn
press upon readers the Importance Of
looking after these things right now.
1t will not be very long until all sorts
of farm machinery will be called to
use, and it will be good policy to pre-
pare everything in use beforehand. We
know that every year some of the old
things about the farm have to be re-
placed. Now is the time TO investigate
the merits of new implements and ma
chinery which you will have to buy a
little later on. We advise looking over
catalogues of the things that you may
want to buy and learn for yourself the
merits of the things advertised. Then
when you get ready to make your pur-
chases your mind will be made up as
to just what you want and the selec-
tion will be very easy to make. Look
over these things right now, and it will
save you many dollars little later on.

SUITS CONSOLIDATED.
The Frankfort Agreement IL Being

Hear the Contest Cases.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 26.-The suit OF
]. C. w. Beckham against w. s. Tay-

This action was originally brought at
Georgetown. The fling of the suit
here was in accordance with the
agreement made by both sides for a
consolidation of suits involving the
governorship of Kentucky. The ac-
tion is for an injunction. w. S. Tay-

against Beckham and others. By the
agreement Judge Field will try the
consolidated cases.
The answer and counter-claim o1
Beckham, Castleman and Carter in the
injunction suits by w. S. Taylor, John

marks that the name Bengal grass"
by which it was first known in this
country, suggests such an origin.
Flint, on the contrary, makes the state
ment that it was first brought to the
United States from Europe. However
this may be, it seems that the seed used
in Tennessee, where this variety first
came into real prominence, was brought
from France in the early sixties, and
since that time has been the leading
millet sown in the south. German mil
let makes a heavy yield of forage un-
der favorable conditions, but does not
stand drought as well as the smaller
varieties, such as common millet and
Hungarian. The hay is coarser and
less highly valued than that from the
smaller millets, but when the forage
can be fed in the green state this will
be found to be an excellent variety to
grow. on account of the heavy yield.
German millet is the latest of the va
rieties commonly grown here, and his
exceedingly variable in its appearance
and habit of growth. 1t is very sell
dom that one sees a field that is uni
form in character. Many, perhaps
most, of the heads may be typical of
the variety, but usually there will be
many others scarcely TO be distin-
guisheG from common millet or other
standard varieties.

Much is written about keeping boys
on the farm, but we cannot see why
boys who realways longing for some
thing different should be compelled to
pass their lives on the farm. If a boy
likes farm work and we treat him prop
erly, nine times out of ten he will stay
on the farm Of his own accord. These
are the days when farming requires
skilled laborers, and the boy who likes
the work will become the most skillful
through study and experience. But
the one who does not like the work will
receive no benefit from any amount of
study and experience, simply because
his heart is not in the work.-Mary p.

Hooded Lamb. selI wen,

1t does not take such large sum to
buy flock of good grade ewes, while
a thoroughbred mutton ram does not
cost anything at all, as his lambs will
bring about one dollar per head more in
the market than the lambs from CON-
mon ram; while the similarity of all the
lambs fleece both in staple and weight
would cause the fleeces to bring much
larger sum of money in the wool mar
ket than the get of a common ram.
Therefore, on lambs bred from pure
bred ram there is enough clear gain
over and above those from d common
ram to pay for thoroughbred yearling
ram. AS the male is half the flock,
