Good PLACE for I,azv Men.

Henry Sandman, the well-known
Boston artist, who with his family is
now pleasantly located in the Azores,
writes home most enthusiastically of
the place and the air of hospitality
which is to be found everywhere. Fan
cy the joy of living" he writes, ''in a
place where you do not breakfast till
II, dine at 4 and have tea at 1920;
where it's always warm and comfort
able; where everyone on the street
bows to you and runs eagerly to do
you some service: where there are
great, large tropical gardens filled with
every flower in the world, familiar and
strange; where fish, the most delicious
imaginable, are pulled from the sea
onto the fire, and thence to your table;
where you can live like a duke for 80
cents day and where you can go to
church every day in the week if you
are fond enough of sculpture and cary
ing, fairer than you have ever seen
elsewhere. Boston Transcript.

Cold storas ase on Farms.

There are few farms where a suf-
ficient quantity of fruit or vegetables is
grown to warrant the erection and
operation of a cold storage plant; on
the other hand, the suggestion that
such a plant could he built and op-
Grated proftably in any section where
the fruit crop Of dozen growers was
very large is worth consideration.
Such a plant could readily be operated
on the cooperative plan at compara-
lively small expense to each share
holder. With apples, for instance, it is
only possible to get the highest prices
for winter fruit by holding the crop in
cold storage until late winter. AS this
is now done the grower obtains but a
little more than he would in the fall
sale of his crop when the storage
charges and shrinkage are taken out.

Visit Successful Farmers.

Nothing will contribute more toward
success in any vocation than enthusi-
asm which is founded upon faith in
your own abilities to succeed in your
own undertaking. If anyone anywhere
near you is making success in your
adopted line Of work, or speciality, you
should by all means visit him and see
just how he manages, and why he sue
ceeds where others have failed. Farm
ing in all its branches as now profit
ably pursued needs constant study, and
during the comparative leisure every
one should review the past and plan
for better results in future. There is
no other method of learning about any
farm subject equal to being on the
farm where such work is practiced.
and having it explained by those who
have made it success. 1t may be the

Infertility of Eggs.

There has been much complaint the
last season among poultrymen of the
small portion Of chicks .hatched from
each setting Of eggs, whether placed in
the incubator or with the old hen. Nat
urally there are various reasons given
for this loss, but mainly under the gen.
eral heading of infertility of the eggs.
Every one who has handled poultry
knows there are various causes for in
fertility. There may be weakness In
the structure of the hen or of the cock.
Also the feed has great deal to do
with the fertility of the egg. A hen
that is overfed or kept very fat is not
as likely to lay fertile eggs as one that
is thinner. The food given to the laying
hen has also something to do with the
infertility of eggs, for hens kept largely
on a diet of corn will produce eggs that
are much more likely to be infertile
than those from hens fed on a variety
of foods. Meat foods and green foods
are absolutely essential for laying
fowls, if we would have from them
eggs strong in fertility. The head of
the flock should also receive careful
attention, as he must be well fed and
not permitted to run with too many
hens.

The Plum curculio.


In an old book we read some years
ago report from some one who tried
the experiment of taking a rough board
some six or eight feet long and coating
it with coal tar, then mailing it to
pole that would raise the board well up
among the branches of the plum tree.
The odor of the coal tar was so often
siye to the curculio that he had as
many plums as the tree ought to stand
up under, although they had not pro-
duced crop before for some years,
and he had threatened to cut them
down. The boards should be put up
when the trees are in full bloom. He
was led to try it by the fact that an
other had obtained crop from tree
near which he put up building and
covered the roof with coal tar. If so
simple remedy will drive away those
troublesome insects it should be known
generally, as it is but little trouble OF
expense, though to be entirely effectual
we think the tar should be renewed as
often as every two or three weeks, as
the curculio is about nearly from the
time the fruit sets until it ripens. The
poles or boards may be tied up to pre-
vent blowing Observation-Disclosures
