Within the last forty fifty years toymaking,

may pay as much as several hundred dollars
for dolls for their children. and mechanical toys
are built on so vast style that the boys Of

sort of toys that now fill the shops. For certain
TOYS are the divine right of childhood and chill

quite still, staring in my direc-

Judging by the Crookston pa.

sensational news and taking it all
back the next day, Bemidji is
badly pitted with smallpox. This
is a lie, a big overgroWn full
faced lie. Another report has
been circulated that the state
board Of health was going to
quarantine the town. This is
really funny, were it not for the,
damage it has done the town.
The truth of the matter is this.
There are six cases Of what may
be called smallpox safely taken

were all brought here from lun.

ing counties and were promptly
looked after. No new case has
developed in the past week
around Bemidji, and all the pa.
tients are recovering nicely. The
board Of health is doing every
thing possible to stamp out the
disease, and there is no danger
whatever Of an epidemic. Crooks

Remain quietly at home and take

follow. That remedy counteracts any
tendency OF the grip to result in pnen-

grip not one case has been reported
that did not recover. Mayo's drug

Poultry Briefs.

How much age affects the laying
qualities of some fowls is yet an un-
solved problem. An experiment was
carried on at the West Virginia Ex-
pertinent Station for the purpose of
gathering some data relative thereto
About 300 pullets were pitted against
300 old hens, and the contest was kept
up for 30 days. During that time the
pullets laid 5000 eggs, and the old
fowls 6,349, or difference in favor of
the old hens of 140 eggs. The breeds
were white and brown Leghorns, and
the old hens were three and four years
of age. This seems to demonstrate that
the notion of killing off old hens over
two years of age is not good one.
But the lesson is not perhaps Of gen.
eral application for the reason that
Leghorns are said to continue dropping
eggs in large numbers long after most
breeds have ceased to lay. One poultry
man says he keeps his Brown Leghorns
as long as they will lay, and that he
kept one hen till she was nine years OF
age. A good many experiments Will
have to be made before we can get
much definite light on the subject.
The advisability of not sending
chickens to market in lean condition
is borne out by about all the expert
ments undertaken along the line OF
fattening fowls for market. One year
the Maine Experiment Station Sc
cured a considerable number OF fowls
to be used in a test of this kind. The
chickens were 100 days old at the be-
ginning of the test, and the feeding
was continued for thirty-fve days. The
40 weighed 1919 pounds at the begin
ming of the test and 1911 at its close,
and gained total Of S9.2 pounds dur
ing the period. an average gain OF 223
pounds per chick. The quantity OF dry
meal required to produce a pound OF
gain was 5.52 pounds. When sold, the
birds brought IA cents net each more
than they would have brought II sold
at the former weights. OF course this
advance was made in state where
retail prices for poultry are high, but
the cost OF feed is CORRESPONDENCE
high. The quality of the well-covered,
soft-heshed chickens, IL they are not
too fat. is so much superior to that OF
the same bros not specially prepared
that they will be sought for at a higher
price.

plants in the open garden with about
one foot of fresh manure in February
or March. The manure should cover
a space two or three feet square about
each plant. 1t is a good plan to place
some boards or old barrel slaves
around the plant to hold the manure
in place. II the boards are close to-
gether and stand foot or SO above
the manure they will do great deal
to protect the young leaves from the
frost. After the manure has been on
the ground for a few days a hole five
or six inches in diameter should be
dug over the plant in the manure to
aid the plant In starting through the
manure. Most of the early growth Is
made from the food stored in the roots
the previous summer. To secure the
best development of the plants anu
roots, the plants should be set in rows
four feet apart and two feet apart In
the row and given clean, shallow Gull
tivation throughout the summer. Three
or four inches of well-rotted manure
should be well worked into the soil
around the plant in the spring. Plants
receiving good cultivation will las
five or seven years without renewing.
Forcing the plants may have a ten
dency to weaken them and shorten
the life Of the plantation.
Another method of forcing the plants
is to lift the plants, with a large ball
OF tie surrounding soil, from the gar
den and place in a cellar or slow hot
bed. Keep the roots well bedded in
soil and moist. Light is not neces-
sary for their growth. This method
is quite satisfactory as it can be car
ried out any time during the winter.
The plants will produce edible stems
within four weeks after they are
placed in their warmer location. The
plants will 90 best IL the ground has
been frozen once or twice before
plants are lifted from the garden.
