Wood Lots ON EARNS.

The importance Of establishing wood
lots or shelter belts on farms that lack
them is no less obvious than the neces-
sity of raising the staple crops The
provident farmer cannot really afford
TO buy firewood, fence posts or building
timber any more than he can afford 10
buy corn and wheat. A part if not all
OF the wood material used on the farm
can and should be grown there. The
profit on this timber growth rightly be-
longs 10 the farmar. ssS It is therefore
one which econOmic agriculture cannot
neglect

PnuItrY Notes.


A drake and six ducks make an ex-
cellent mating.
The hens should always have some
place to dust.
With young chickens, for a time, at
least cooked food is best,
Bran should always be scalded be-
fore feeding to the hens.
Sorghum seed makes a good feed,
whether ground or fed whole.
Never make a dust bath of wood
ashes; it bleaches the fowls legs.
Give your chickens lime water,
crushed oyster shells or old mortar.
When coal ashes are used in the dust
bath the coarse grit should be sifted
out.
Eggs turned half over every other
day will keep much longer than other
wise.
A filthy drinking vessel will cause
disease sooner than almost anything
else.
In nearly all cases a hen that is a
good layer is an early riser. Feed them
early.
The falling over of a ROSTERS comb is
good indication that he is in bad
health.
Grease closes the pores of the egg
shells and often prevents them from
Matching.
Turkeys are naturally very thirsty
fowls, and may be given milk instead
of water.
When hens are crowded the weaker
ones will become poor and the stronger
fat and vigorous.
Scattering air-slacked lime literally
about the quarters is one of the best
preventive of gapes.
Keep a good variety of fowls. Tur-
keys. ducks, geese, as we'll as chickens.

The stanford Stock Farm.

The big Stanford stock farm at Palo

it can be run almost forever. the entire

time of Senator Stanford's death there
were l .46S horses on the farm. That

which the farm has been eminently sue
cesSful. The colts now are not trained
as trotters on the farm, but the income
from sales is large.

TRY TO REVIVE SHIP BILL.

The press bureau of the lobby that is
promoting the ship subsidy grab is
working overtime in sending out from
Washington inaccurate news about the
legislative status of the grab. The evil
dent purpose is 20 create an impression
that there win be subsidy legislation
before the Adjournment Of Congress;
that the pending bill Will be radically
amended. and that Mr. Hanna and his
partners viii accept the amendments.
The press bureau undertakes to tell
what the amendments will be and says
that among others will be one which
will cut about 100000 off the fast ships
of the International Navigation Com
pany. 1t says also that this has been
suggested by Senators Mcmillan, AL
drich, Spooner and Allison.
AS a matter of fact. these men are
unwilling to pay another dollar to the
GriscOm Rockefeller ships, which are
already drawing upward of 100000
from the United States Treasury in
mail subsidies Neither are they will
ing to accept the vast amount of for
eign tonnage which Hanna and Girls
com are trying to dump upon the Treas
ury. The sentiment against the bill is
increasing every day, and even its
friends are admitting that there is not
one chance in fifty that it will be voted
upon during the life of the Fifty-si1th
Congress.

How to Handle Bees.

A person commencing to keep bees
should learn their habits and approved
methods of handling them. They should
buy a few hives of bees from relia-
bic bee keeper. The best time to buy
is in the spring. Be sure that you have
a strong colony in the hive and enough
honey to feed them until they can gath
err their food from spring flowers. If
you lave shade trees, place your hives
near them so the bees can be sheltered
from the direct rays of the sun. If
the land slopes have an eastern expos
ure. II possible, if you have no natural
shelter, provide one. We are just old
fashioned enough to believe that it
pays as well to shelter bees as any 9th
er live thing on the place. All energy
consumes power. Energy has to be
provided bees in the shape of honey.
1t takes honey to provide the energy
for the bees who fan the hive in the
extreme heat, also to keep the bees
warm IN the cold; shelter will reduce
both heat and cold. SO if the farmer
keeps a few hives he will find it to his
interest to invest in a small amount of
lumber. Bees, when they can gather a
full supply of honey, send off new col
onies. The management of bees at and
before swarming time would take more
space than the editor can spare, so we
will leave that for another paper. OF
course, in these days only movable
comb hives are used, as you will wish
to control your brood comb and queen
cells; also have your honey in section
combs. The new hives and sections
should be in stock, for you know not
the day or hour when the bees may
swarm.

How Much Will Corn Shrink?

How Much Will Corn Shrink?
In the fall of 1898 an experiment was
undertaken by Prof. Atkinson at the
Iowa experiment station to ascertain
the amount of moisture contained in
ear corn. A crib was constructed upon
the platform of a pair of scales, the
scales so constructed that an exact
register of the weight could always be
made. Seven thousand pounds of corn
were husked and placed in the crib Oct.
10, 1898. The crib was 1872 feet long
by ~ feet wide. The corn was then
weighed once each week for year.
During the first three months the loss
was $50 pounds, or 9 per cent of the
original weight. During the next three
months, from Jan. 10 to April 10, the
loss was 800 pounds, or per cent of
the original weight. During the next
three months the loss was 220 pounds;
during the last three months the loss
was 100 pounds. The loss during the
full year was 1,430 pounds, or a trife
more than 20 per cent. This means
that a bushel of corn weighing eighty
pounds when husked like this sample
will weigh siXty-fOur pounds at the
end of the year.

the fact that every claim made for it

and false. This public opinion so for
